(More customer reviews)My wife and I purchased this Vacuum 2 days ago. My wife suffers from severe allergies and demanded that if we could not afford wood floors than we must buy a Vacuum with a Hepa filter. She wakes up every morning sneezing and seems to be allergic to everything. We desired to buy a DYSON but decided to try this since it was affordable. She vacuumed the living room floor with our old Vacuum prior to using the new one. The vacuum sucked up so much stuff with in 5 minutes we were both in shock. We could not believe that our old Vacuum was practically worthless. It really did a good job of getting the carpet clean the first night. The accessories are good but the stair and upolstery brush only worked well for the first night. As we did get a lot of dust and soot up out of our floors there were still some complications.
The belt broke with in the first 2 hours. They did include a second belt in the box so we had to put that one on.
The outside of the Vacuum was covered in dust with in 30 minutes and needed to be cleaned. I had to empty out the dust cup since my wife is so allergic to dust. I emptied it out 5 times the first night. Its easy to clean out but the dust cup filter gets so dirty that it has to be cleaned often in order to be effective.
Today we decided to do a demonstration for my mother in law to brag on our new vacuum. We decided to move our bed and Vacuum in this spot to show her how much dirt and dust it could suck up. Well, when my wife turned it on she noticed it was not working like it was the first night we bought it. We had to take it apart follow instructions for fixing the problem. Finally we Vacummed. It still was not working right. It still is not working like it did the first night.
It is cheaply made and will most definately not last very long. The wheel is already falling off. The parts are all plastic and it is already banged up.
We will be exchanging it for another Vacuum. It was very time consuming but it really did get the job done. My wife did not sneeze at all yesterday. In our office we have a window where the sun shines in so that when you walk in there, you can see all of the dust particles in the air. It was really bad prior to this Vacuum. There were only a few specks yesterday when I was working. It was much improved.
I'm not sure what I would advise anyone else about this product. I know that my wife is not satisfied with the cheaply made product but was satisfied with the improvement in the quality of the air and less dust particles floating around. If it would work like it did the first hour all the time, we would be fine with it. Also, anyone with allergies who does purchase this, you should in no way empty the dust cup. Have someone else do it.
