Pros: Suction is good and actually picks up hair when using the smaller hand piece vacuum.

Cons: The actual vacuum does not work at all. I assembled it and when turning it on, the brush roller does not roll and no suction goes through the main vacuum. I tried disassembling and reassembling and it still doesn't work. Ill probably have to end up paying to fix this thing even though I just got it out of the box.

Other Thoughts: Instructions are very unclear on how to assemble. Just pictures. But i guess thats all it takes. Maybe I missed something during assembly of the unit since my vacuum doesn't work at all.

Pros: It's advertised as cleans better than a dyson DC 41 And I would have to agree, I've had the Dyson in the past , when this arrived I vacuumed the living room with my 2 yr old shark That I use to think did a decent job. Immediately after I went over it with the airspeed and got a full canister more dirt. over the next few days the amount of collected dirt got less as the carpet got cleaner. The automatic cord wind is a great feature for those of us with bad backs, gives me a retro feeling of my grandmothers old metal Electrolux when I was a kid. The attachments work nice , and the pet hair brush works well at getting my German Shepherds hair off every thing. Also very easy to assemble , didn't even need the instructions.

Cons: Although I don't really think it will be a problem , the handle does feel flimsy, don't think it will break but it will flex some. The only real annoyance is the bracket that holds the attachment wand is just plain inadequate , so tired of the wand falling out that now I just remove it before I start, and this is the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars. I'm sure I can find a way to put more tension on it , just hate to wrap tape around the wand because eventually the wand will get all sticky

Other Thoughts: I would recommend this vacuum , you would be hard pressed to find one that works as well for twice the money. Yes the handle feels cheap and the wand falls off all the time , but I consider it a fair trade off for the price. And the automatic cord wind is a bonus that my twice broken back really appreciates .

Pros: Very honestly the best vacuum I've ever used. Massive suction from this thing, you can actually feel it sucking down onto the carpet. Pulls up stuff that even our two year old Eureka didn't just a few minutes earlier. The new design for the base of the vacuum definitely works. The furniture attachment actually stays in place unlike the previous versions, and the hose redesign is also a massive improvement. And then there's the cord "rewind" system. Best thing ever for moving quickly around our office building here. In fact, I like the whole vacuum so much I'm going to be buying another one for my apartment in the next month or so when I move!

Cons: Not a big deal but the seam in the handle flexes a bit and isn't in a great spot "feel" wise.

Other Thoughts: They say right on the vacuum that it's better then a Dyson ... well we bought this one to replace a junk Dyson, and let me just say ... they aren't kidding. This would suck up and devour the Dyson. And then there's the price difference!
