Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Equipped with a 12 amp motor, this bagless upright vacuum cleaner offers all the power of a standard upright but at about half the weight (weighs just 11-2/5 pounds). Its on/off brushroll control allows for effortlessly transitioning from carpeting to bare-floor surfaces such as tile, linoleum, or hardwood. Even more, the machine can be used for above-floor cleaning thanks to its flexible hose and onboard accessories, which consist of a crevice tool for between couch cushions or other tight spots and a dusting brush for bookshelves and tabletops. The unit also provides a telescoping handle that adjusts to the user's height and an O-shaped handle made with soft materials in the grip to ensure comfortable cleaning in all positions. Its bagless technology means no more bags to buy, and the dust cup empties easily, keeping hands clean and away from the dirt. Other highlights include an 11-inch cleaning path, allergen filtration, a suction-control switch for directing all the suction power to the floor or the hose, a belt-stopped indicator for safety, and a 20-foot cord for easily moving from room to room with minimal outlet changes. The vacuum cleaner measures 8 by 11 by 42 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars 85% of a Dyson at 15% of the price., November 9, 2008

By	T. Fisher - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You can just feel the amount of air getting sucked through this thing. Although small, it's got a very effective 12amp motor, and still fits under a shelf in the closet with our board games. It's simple, sturdy and functional.

My wife and I were going to register for a Dyson, but when we played with one at Macy's it felt rickety. We were really surprised as we'd heard nothing but great things about them. But we decided we couldn't blow $400 on a big, plastic monstrosity. I'm sure they're really great, but our modest 900sq' just don't need the BMW of vacuums.

In particular I like the handle. Looks weird, but it's perfect. The hose only comes with two attachments; that's all you need, and the hose itself is just long enough. The brush height is automatically adjusting. The power switch is a simple three-position switch that goes: off / motor / motor and brush. And the dust catch and filter are easy enough to remove and empty.

A Dyson may very well last forever, but I could buy six of these, which would still be half the weight of the smallest Dyson and easier to hide away.

Happy housekeeping.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for hardwood floors, March 1, 2009

By	Diane "Dogmama" (Springfield, IL) - See all my reviews

Major design flaw: the motor blows out directly in front which makes it scatter dust and light dirt out from in front of the vacuum - making it impossible to use on hardwood and tile. I loved the lightweight of it, but it's useless to me.

4.0 out of 5 stars love this!, October 24, 2009

I had a shark vacuum and used it quite a bit. It got old and needed replacement.
I chose this one because of the brushes (shark didnt have any and was awful for carpet). I have laminate floors and a rug. It works great. You do have to
clean the filter often (fuzz collects). I make sure I have an extra filter on hand so I can wash one and while its drying I still have another. We have
2 cats and a dog and it picks up wonderfully. I've owned it for 6 months with no problems
