  Powerhead spinning brush wore out within 3 months, due to construction made of plastic parts, where metal parts should have been. If you buy this vacuum, expect lots of regular repairs. Even the Electrolux repair facilities who repaired it acknowledged this was a piece of crap.

  We bought this vacuum just 5 months ago and it’s already falling apart. Where the motorized brush head connects to the rest of the vacuum broke. To fix it the whole brush head needs to be replaced. Just a couple of weeks after purchasing the vacuum, the attachment holder caught on a corner and part of it snapped off. Aside from the vacuum breaking, the motorized brush head doesn’t suck all the dirt from our carpet. I think the brush spins so quickly that it kicks the dirt/debris right out. If I stand behind the motorized brush head, the debris hits my ankles as it flings out of the head. Keep in mind, our carpets are not very dirty b/c we don’t wear our shoes in the house and we vacuum at least a couple of times a week. FYI - we had our last vacuum, a Kenmore, for 8 years without many problems. We’re going to try returning this vacuum and then heading to Sears to purchase a Kenmore.

  This vac was recommended by our allergist, but after reading some of the user reviews I was a bit reluctant to buy it. I have to say that after 3.5 months I am extremely pleased with this unit. This thing has incredible suction…the first time I used it I think I filled the bag almost halfway and this was less than a week after vacuuming with the old machine. Also, despite the power, this vacuum is pretty quiet. I have no complaints at all with the performance, nor have I had any problems with it. Everything is still good as new. I love that it’s easy to connect/disconnect the parts. I do have a couple very small gripes. The first one is that the power head could sound better. It works great, but the outer shell vibrates and makes it sound cheap. My other complaint is that the attachments on the handle will not stay attached. Their location is great, but since they fall off constantly it defeats the whole purpose of having the stored there. Still, the performance of this vacuum more than makes up for those two gripes and I highly recommend it. And yes, this vac really filters the air well. I am using the Clinic bags and I’m not at all afraid to get my face down by the exhaust and breath the air.

  I did a lot of homework before deciding to buy this bad boy. I am not a vacuum expert nor do I really vacuum. I bought this as a Mother’s Day gift for mama-dukes. Well, what I heard from her was that this was by far the best vacuum she had ever used, and not simply because I bought it for her for Mother’s Day. This thing is very quiet compared to any vacuum I’ve ever heard in our house. I don’t even hear it when I am in a different room. It is so quiet that it deceivingly feels a little weak. But it is ANYTHING but weak.. specially when you turn on the spinning motor thingie (it gets a little louder with that on, but not so bad.) MY GOD, this thing sucks up EVERYTHING! Not in a bad way where it destroys your carpets or eats your cat, but in a good way that it really digs up dirt in between the carpet and makes vacuuming a joy and extremely effortless. Oh and if you were wondering how it punched my mom in the face.. well, while she was vacuuming under my bed, she bent down for a second to get something and the vacuum spinner thing was on and it sucked up her hair, lifted up off the floor and smacked right into her face. The funny(?) thing was, she couldn’t reach the off switch on the handle to turn off the motor! We all had a good laugh about it and she had a bloody lower lip for about a week. My poor mom. She has a great sense of humor though.. she laughs every time she tells the story. Anyway, GREAT vacuum.. buy one!

  Have had previous versions due to its great suction/cleaning. Have 2 dogs and 2 todlers/babies, with one of them alergic to dog hair, thus need great cleaning. This provides. Prior versions had issues with durability in the hose connections and had replaced several times due to wearing out as you disconnect and reconnect often for using tools. This one has a telescoping wand with a singular release and seems much more durable in the above problem area. Only negative is that it lost a feture where you could turn down the suction by letting other air in and without this it makes doing things like drapes or small rugs much harder.
