Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - Not worth it...
I bought this machine based upon some online reviews I found. The reviews indicated that the machine would not be a good choice for carpet, but that it was a great value if you planned on just using it for hard floors. Since my whole first floor is hardwood, I thought this might be a good, inexpensive machine to use on the floors instead of sweeping and I could use my upright for the rugs.
The machine ended up being far cheaper than the picture or reviews seemed to indicate. While the suction is good on the machine, the wand keeps coming apart (it is simply two plastic tubes jammed together) and it is awkward to use. The handle is in a bad place to carry the machine. Everytime I pick it up to drag it out of the closet, I have to juggle the wand and the machine and usually the wand ends up coming apart again and I'm left cussing. The cord is also fairly short as well as the hose connected to the wand. You are forced to carefully move the canister around repeatedly, and if you pull too hard on the hose while vacuuming, it ends up rolling onto its back, which is bad, since this is where the exhaust comes out. So you have to stop, and resituate it.
I would return it, but Amazon's policy will only give me 50% back, plus I'd have to pay for shipping. I guess I'll keep it as a back-up to whatever real canister vacuum I end up getting. I would highly advise that you save the money you would spend on this machine and put it towards something that is more useable. + See Full Customer Review |  |
