Tips over, power attachment easily removed by sofa

I've been using this vacuum for over 2 years and it's awful. The suction and weight are the best part, however the vacuum tips or rolls over on it's side as I drag it around on the carpet. Ridiculous. When I'm vacuuming under the sofa the power attachment release gets caught on it somehow and it's left under the sofa. What a waste of money. We replaced an antique Electrolux, which was functioning fine, for this plastic thing because of the weight and now wish we had the old one again.

We purchased this in January of 2015 and it is the worst cleaner I have ever used and I have been using cleaners since 1955 and am now 72 years old. It is a very poor design when using on a carpet because it will not follow but tip over because of the design of the 3 wheels in front. I spend more time putting it back on the wheels than cleaning. It does great on a hard surface. Even cleaning carpets it does a great job but the design of the wheels is awful and is very clumsy.

I had this Jetmaxx El4040A for over three years and has performed very well beyond the expectation. I have bought different models of electrolux as the older models were phased out. My family is a fan of Electrolux.

I bought this vacuum almost 3 years ago and hate it since day 1. This model is more powerful than the old Electrolux vacuum I had. The vacuum head is so heavy and bulky, and it is very hard to move the vacuum up/down my house. Should have returned it but I was too lazy to pack and ship the vacuum back to Amazon.

I bought this several months ago and love it. It's pretty lightweight yet rolls easily - especially on wood floors, but also does fine on carpeting if it's not too thick. I like it so much better than my old, heavy one. JetMaxx behaves well.
