(More customer reviews)This is a no nonsense commercial vacuum cleaner that does a good job of pulling dirt out of carpets. Our professional cleaners used a Panasonic commercial vacuum and we noticed the carpets were a lot cleaner after they had vacuumed compared to when we did. Whether a typical home owner will be happy with a commercial vacuum depends on what features you are comfortable with.
Pros: Strong suction and brush action really digs dirt out of carpets.
Nice balance of power, size, and weight. Compact and easy to use.
At 15 pounds (w/o cord), it maneuvers easily and is not too bad to carry.
50' commercial cord allows you to plug it in once to clean several rooms or a large area.
Unlike some uprights, the fan pulls air through the filter bag and through a HEPA filter before it reaches the motor.
The on board tools are convenient and work well.
The machine is designed for frequent use and easy low cost maintenance.
At around $210, it offers good value compared to other trendy vacuums.
Cons: The cord is orange and rather substantial. If you are not comfortable winding a 50' extension cord using your arm or hands, putting this away will be a hassle. The agitator always spins when the machine is on, even when upright and using the onboard tools (the brush is raised off the floor when upright to prevent carpet wear). There is no light.
I really like the simple reliability of the design and having noticeably cleaner carpets. The construction is largely plastic for reduced weight, but with metal in the right places. The overall aesthetic is a proven low cost design.
Update: Having used this for a while, I'm even more impressed by its convenience. The size and weight make it easy to carry around or put a hand under the base to use on stairs or upholstery. To clean stairs for example, start at the bottom, face the vacuum toward you, and rest the base one step below the one you are cleaning. Use the crevice tool to clean around the edge of each step. On the way down, turn the vacuum around, put one hand under the base and the other on the neck, use the brush to clean the surface of each step. This is much easier than balancing a canister or having to move to a different outlet 3/4 of the way up. The whole machine is a moderate weight canister with a built-in brush. The only real con is the noise on bare floors since you can't turn the brush off. Most vacuums I've used border on loud with the power brush on, and this one is similar. A little quieter on carpets, but louder on bare floors.
