Just received this vacuum today & it is the best I have ever used in 26 years. Absolutely beats out my central vacuum system!! Takes up ALL the dog hair, I cannot emphasize that enough.My rugs look great and so do the hard floors. Handles very easily, rolls itself along, you only need to guide it. Great price, quick shipment, I couldn't be happier.

Used by a cleaning service in the homes of executives and professionals, very fussy customers. Great power and easy to use. Have used 6800 series canisters for 8+ years, and will continue to do so.

Its a very average unit that does not have a retractable power cord.

The Good
It does its job and is light to move around.

The Bad
The hose does get tangled up very easily much like a cheap garden hose. And again, NO RETRACTABLE POWER CORD.

Given the price that I paid for this device, I am very happy with its performance. It does extremely well on my hardwood floors, and the rotary attachment efficiently cleans my floor rugs.

Problems: I didn't think that the non-retractable power cord would bother me, but truthfully it is inconvenient. I also had the problems with the plastic hose doubling over, thereby cutting off the suction to the floor. Thus, although it does a pretty good job, one does have to put up with a few inconveniences. Were I to upgrade (and pay more) I would look at these features. I would also look into getting a device with a HEPA filter which more efficiently removes dust and cat hairs.

This vacuum compared with my old Eureka canister vacuum is much better. They both use the same filter bags (style V) but the size of this one is a little bit bigger and lighter.
Pros:
1. This vacuum has less sound.
2. The tool accessories are functional and are stored in the canister.
3. The canister is light and is convenient to carry around stairs and to clean blinds, etc.
4. This vacuum is convenient to use and has a very good suction for cleaning.
Cons:
1. The electric cord does not automatically retract.
This vacuum does a good job cleaning carpets and we are very satisfied. We would recommend it to all who are looking for this type of vacuum with this price range.
Note: The delivering/shipping time is very fast ... and it's free - I received this vacuum within three days.

It has been 20 days since my order was placed. It has yet to ship! Pay no attention to the reviewer who said he got it in 3 days.
