Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Fantom Twister upright vacuum not only cleans carpets, stairs and upholstery--it also cleans itself! A bagless model, the 12-amp vacuum features a 13-inch cleaning path and a motorized brush roll. Though not made for bare floors, the floor nozzle is smartly constructed for edge-to-edge cleaning and has a floating head for automatic carpet height adjustment. Dirt collects in the transparent dust cup, which features a built-in handle and a bottom-release hatch for tidy emptying. The canister also features the twisting mechanism the vacuum is named for--a spiraled insert that you can engage manually to sweep out the collected debris. The Twister comes with a true HEPA filtration system to trap airborne particulates, including dust, dander, and pollen. The filter stores in a front hatch for easy access and requires replacing 2 to 4 times a year. Additional filters inside the cup can be cleaned with an included tool for regular maintenance; the subfilter is washable.
Handily equipped for above-floor tasks, the vacuum features automatic hose conversion with a sturdy, flexible hose and onboard tools. Accessories include two extension wands, a crevice tool, and a dusting brush that converts to an upholstery tool. In use, the hose attaches to a low clip on the backside of the machine for a smart, tip-resistant structure. Function switches on the machine are simple and straightforward, and the unit as a whole is highly maneuverable. It comes with a 25-foot power cord, quick-release cord hooks, a bright headlight, and a cord retainer clip. It measures 13 by 13 by 45 inches. --Emily Bedard

Not at all like the old Fantoms!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fantom FM740 Twister 300SE Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
I have had my old Fantom Fury for at least 8 years and it is still going strong. It was so great for dog hair that I have recommended it to everyone I know with pets. About 6 months ago I saw the new Fantom's and decided I'd get another so I didn't have to keep carrying the old one up and down the stairs. While the new one does have great suction like the old one, it is much more cumbersome to use. It is a lot harder to empty it, harder to maneuver around things, and under things and the on-board tools are harder to use because the hose doesn't stretch well. If you get more than a foot away from it, it falls over. Plus, it is much heavier than the old one. The dirt never comes all the way out of the canister and the dog hairs get stuck in there. Plus, it has gotten clogged more times in 6 months than the old one did in 8 years. This one is also not made as well. One wheel will not stay on ours. I definitely would NOT recommend this new product. I now know why this sells for less than the old ones did.

Not worth the money...,

This review is from: Fantom FM740 Twister 300SE Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
I have owned 2 Fantom vacuums- and the one I am currenty using (this model) will be the last! The first one died unexpectedly about 5 months after I purchased it- the company went out of business and so I had NO recourse, no warranty...nada!Foolishly, I bought another Fantom. I have had this one for about 1 year and since then, the belt has broken 3 times, the hose constantly comes disconnected from the main unit, the plastic holder that keeps the cord wound has broken off AND it mysteriously turns off and back on while I am vacuuming! When it works, it works very well...unfortunately, it just doesn't work that often! :(

HORRIBLE...No More Fantoms for ME!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fantom FM740 Twister 300SE Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
I've owned 2 previous Fantoms and was very pleased with their performance and durability. Yes...I did pay more for them. However, this vacuum is living proof that--YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! It is a HORRIBLE vacuum. I spend more time bending over with the hose that releases from the bottom...my back is shot. Their nifty "quick release" canister??? A TOTAL JOKE!! You still have to stick your hand in there to get all the lint, hair, etc. from out of it. Oh, did I mention that after you vacuum an area and think you're done...you only turn around to see some of what you just vacuumed mysteriously ends up behind you! Auto-height adjustment?? Great if you have shag carpeting from the '70s. Anything shorter and you're out of luck. DON'T WASTE YOUR $$$$. I just bought the DYSON ANIMAL from Target/Amazon website. After reading ITS customer reviews--I EAGERLY await it's arrival!!! I'd rather pay $500 and get what I expect!!
