I liked this machine so much the first time around I had to buy it a second time after the first suffered a break after hard rough use. I learned my lesson now, slow down and don't bang it into things!

I have had this vacuum for 3 years now and I cannot wait to replace it with a Hoover.....I bought this b/c I was in a pinch. At first I loved the suction....but then I had to empty it! This vacuum is designed to get as much dirt & dust as possible back into the house as you just took out! We have 1 dog & 2200 sq ft and have to empty the vacuum at least 2x during one use. The dog hair and everything else gets trapped in the section above the removable container so you have to dig it out with your fingers. Absolutely disgusting!
It's designed with a left handed person in mind....that said everything is positioned on the left hand side of the vacuum and its uncomfortable to use if you area righty!
After awhile it no longer had the same suction....the pet hair wand is rendered useless moments after using it...getting animal hair all wrapped up inside it. It does not edge clean at all so you have to use the attachments and they don't seem to have any suction either. This vacuum is poorly designed and awful....do not buy!

The suction is great but moving it is a pain in the butt when it is on and you're actually vaccuming.

Pushing it forward is probably the worst. I've had it for a few weeks now and today I almost got so frustrated with it not wanting to move properly that I wanted to just break it in half.
I have the receipt still as well as the packaging and am thinking of taking it back.

The hose attachments work great but when the machine sucks it up there is no cover to keep it from spilling out the back which makes a little mess behind the vaccum itself.

On the greater aspect of it, I'm always amazed at how much comes out of our carpet! We aren't very messy but it always seems to get atleast half way full once I'm done with our bedroom. The fliters are fairly easy to clean and replace.
