Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Appropriately named "Intensity", this upright vacuum cleaner picks up dirt, dust, and debris without the need to vacuum the same spot over and over again. Its 12 amp motor and direct airpath maximizes suction power--dirt travels just 3 inches to the bag instead of through long tubes and hoses, which can slow down performance. The unit's fingertip controls allow for selecting "on/off", "carpet", or "bare floors". In carpet mode, the cleaning head adjusts automatically to different carpet heights and uses the spinning brushroll for a deep-down clean; bare-floor mode stops the brushroll to protect bare-floor surfaces. In addition, the unit�s 12-inch-wide cleaning path with edge-cleaning brushes ensures fast results, while convenient performance indicator lights signify maximum suction, as well as when the bag or filter needs to be changed. Other highlights include an adjustable-height telescopic handle for comfortable use, a soft-touch grip, maneuverable handling for cleaning around furniture, soft wheels, HEPA filtration, and a 1-quart dust capacity for minimal bag changes, as well as a bi-fold handle and retractable 21-foot cord for compact storage that takes up less space in a closet than a laundry basket. The upright vacuum cleaner measures 17 by 12 by 14 inches when folded and carries a two-year warranty.

Product Description

Maximum suction in a compact design. 12 amp power for full size suction and brushroll performance. Direct airpath maximizes suction power. Dirt travels only 3" to the bag. This unit has a compact design with folding handle and it's easy to store and to carry. Lightweight convenience with maneuverable handling for cleaning around furniture. Perfect for deep down routine cleaning. Fingertip controls and automatic cord rewind reduces bending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Things Come In Small Packages, May 16, 2007
This little vacuum packs in power and innovative design. From the first try, I was amazed at the suction. The first time through the house I quickly filled the bag and had to change it. The Intensity pulled up all the little carpet fuzz on the 3-year-old carpet that my old vacuum could never get. It has more power than any other vacuum I've used.

The collapsing design is a nice feature. It folds up into a neat little package that fits easily on a closet floor without running into the coats. I love the controls on the top of the handle. You can go from bare floor to carpet with the touch of a button. The cord retracts nicely. The bag is easy to change, though a bit small, well, because the vacuum is small.

I discovered a nice fail-safe feature when I tried to finish the room when the full bag light was on. The vacuum shut off. I waited a bit to let it cool down, changed the bag, and it started right up. So pay attention to that light.

Overall, the design is fantastic. A couple improvements though would make it even better. For it's small size, light weight and those big wheels, it doesn't corner all that easily. The front is nice and flat and has an edge for going under cabinets, but since the front is the same width as the back, you can't go straight under cabinets. You have to go at an angle and keep adjusting the position. So making the front part a little wider than the back would make going under cabinets a breeze.

Also, if it didn't have that big carrying handle on the top of the canister, it would vacuum right under the bed. The handle isn't positioned well anyway for doing stairs, because when you hold it by the handle to maneuver on stairs, it's too back heavy and tips back. A handle placed a little farther back on the canister would solve that problem - and it would vacuum under the bed.

There are no attachments with this vacuum, but I prefer that it do it's job on the floors and I use a cordless vacuum for furniture, edging and stairs anyway.

Please don't write this vacuum off as a secondary, light-duty vacuum. Even though it's small, it's a full-duty whole house vacuum with plenty of suction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd bought it a year ago!, January 31, 2008
By netterino (LA, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I noticed this vacuum for sale about a year ago - mainly because of the pretty ingenious, apartment-closet-friendly design - but figured it couldn't be *that* much better than the one I was already using. In the spirit of fiscal responsibility, I put it off. Boy, was I wrong.

Y'know the other review, where the person talks about filling a bag on the first go? You figure they must either be a reforming 'dirty person' or exaggerating. It seems a stretch. Whelp - I'm no 'dirty person' of any kind, and when I was through the living room and midway through the bedroom the 'change bag' light came on. I sighed, figuring that the sensor was off, and tugged off the cover to check it.

Whaddaya know? Full to the brim with stuff I had *no* idea had been hiding from my other vacuum. Ew.

I went through one more bag. I vacuumed three rooms. You do the math.

My carpet looks pretty splendid this morning. Needless to say, I'm pleased. I never woulda thunk it, but I wish I'd bought this thing when I first noticed it so the equivalent of the two bags of crud that went down the trash chute wouldn't be in my lungs right now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality Vacuum but too small of a disposable bag, April 3, 2007
By A. Attanasio (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't expect to use this vacuum for ALL your cleaning needs. Its excellent quality , with nice features and GREAT suction, however the disposable bag is much too small. I vacuumed 2 wool rugs that are a year old and previously vacuumed many times with my old Oreck and filled the bag the first time I used it. Folds up to a small foot print and the wire recoil is a nice feature but its demise is the small bag unless you don't mind purchasing bags frequently
