Review
This thing sure sucks! After running this vacuum through about a 1000 square feet, I decided to check out what the vacuum captured so far by taking a peek in the dust bag. The bag revealed that it was mainly filled with carpet piling (I have a cheap builder’s quality carpet, so this would be expected). I also noticed that the vacuum did a perfect job on refreshing the fibers (so that they would stand upright).
Rather than have all of the carpet piling end up in the vacuum, I set the height adjustment of the vacuum to ‘high carpet’. It would have been nice to have an adjustable power control that would allow me to throttle the power of this monster, but at its price, I cannot complain.
This vacuum is one of the heaviest that i have ever used. If you don’t want to lug around this heavy duty monster, this possibly could be a deal breaker for you. Also, if you are careless about your vacuuming you can do some damage your fine furniture and baseboards easily due to the momentum that this can carry while navigating throughout your home and around your furnishings. I am very careful when vacuuming, and I have accidentally caused some damage.
You would probably cause more damage with a vacuum that has wheels and it would roll right into your car, sounds like you have a really nice vacuum so stop your bitching.
Dude, your house must be constructed poorly man or that vacuum is really heavy. Sounds like a nice vacuum but weight sounds like an issue. Is it easy to clean? Tried cleaning stairs with it? I've gone through 3 vacuums from Costco and ended up holding onto a Hoover. Heavy but powerful although the attachments for the removing pet hair breaks easily; great for carpetted stairs by the way!
