 $60.00 "basement cat box area cleaner" perfect! October 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
What else do you say, about $60.00 free shipping/no tax vacume!!
Got a brain storm in part because I couldn't figure out a functional way to keep the litter box area clean. The bigger heavier $300.00 unit is always upstairs plus, it's the "good vacume". The litter box area downstairs is always dirty extra litter comming off of little feet, you get the drill.
My new lightweight Hoover does the job in a snap not to mention I can vacume the rest of the spiders up and anything else whenever I want. Plus I can very easily pull out the wand for edges or anything else. The basement has never been so clean. I choose the bagged type purposely over the baggless because of the dust in the litter, clogging up the bagless filter could get costly. The paper bags are dirt:) cheap. So if I get a year or two or three out of this machine no problems I'll just buy another.
In conclusion, vacumes are so in expensive now days, if it would be nice to have one in some other area just to keep there, get one! From Amazon of course. Best price. Free shipping. No tax. Why wait!
Great Vac, Small Bags October 24, 2008
It is a great vacuum with small bags. Make sure to buy bags when you order!
 Lives Up to its Reputation! October 24, 2008
This vacuum cleaner is highly rated by Consumer Reports...and it has lived up to its great reputation. I absolutely love it! I was not able to find this machine anywhere else (even though their online stores said they had it in stock). Amazon.com had it at the lowest price, and it got here within 2 days of ordering. I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out!

We have owned this machine for only three months: so-far so good.
Especially excellent for carpets (good suction). Fairly easy to handle; keeps all dust INSIDE (no dust flying in the air!). Has a convenient usage indicator.
We purchased the item in tandem with a very convenient (inexpensive) package containing several high-quality filters.
One minor blemish: if and when using the extension tube (e.g. to pick up dust from surfaces above the floor), one end of the flexible tube has to be extracted from its socket. Placing it back tightly enough in the standard position requires considerable strength.
 Not as good as expected October 24, 2008

Ok I may have set my expectation a little high, since this product is HIGHLY recommended by the Consumer Reports. The item arrived in reasonable time, and assembling is fairly straight forward. However, it doesn't look very new out of the box. Some parts are at the wrong spots and some have dust on them. I don't want to believe Amazon, being such a big name, is selling refurbished items, so I am thinking this may have been caused from shipping. Once put together, the blue cover that covers the waste bag couldn't be closed properly, It falls on the floor all the time while vaccuming. I ended up taping it to the main body. The noise of this thing produces is so high it is unbelievable. I couldn't hear my husband talking when he stands 2 feet away. And this vacuum does NOT work on bare floors (tile floor, wood floor, etc.). It just doesn't work. It not only blows the floor dust around, it also spit out what it already vacuumed in. On a scale of 0-10, 0 being 'not working at all' I rate a -3 for it on the bare floors because it makes it worse. However, good news is it does work on carpet. I rate an 8 for it on carpets. And this is the only reason why I didn't return it.
Overall I don't recommend this product, but if you can stand the noise and you only use it on carpets, it works.
