This Vacuum Cleaner Sucks!
This is the first review, good or bad, I have ever written about any product. I have been compelled to write it by the reviews of the whiny, middle-aged, housewives (& husbands) who obviously clean house everyday and think vacuuming is a therapeutic exercise that revolves around soothing, ocean-like noises that lull one into comforting subliminal thought patterns. I am a 27 year old professional and I just want to get the place clean. I would not even have noticed the noise had I not been waiting to be blown away. Totally acceptable. Ear-plugs. Give me a break. I was shocked to see the dust this thing pulled out of my rug (though rugs are a little difficult unless you place furniture on them to hold them down!) As for not sucking up larger objects; utter waffle. Read the instructions and clean the filter. By the way, the thing is so easy to use and empty it's ridiculous. I have very little storage space but it hangs on a hook on the back of a door closet. awesome. Thank you dirt devil. I am going to buy 2 more of these in case, god forbid, the whiners have a sufficient stranglehold on the vacuum-market to subject us all to vacuums that assuage their pitiable critiques. People that vacuum to clean - get this "beast"!
Extremely Loud...and Doesn't SUCK Enough!
It's very very loud and doesn't pick up anything. It's very good at capturing small dust particles, but anything bigger gets left behind. I have to roll the thing over small crumb sized specs 3-4 times!
All these challenges are due to the small size of the hole it's trying to suck through! It has 2 small holes in the bottom that are about .5" x 1.5" each.
So...in order to suck up stuff you've got to position those little holes right over what you're picking up! I don't understand what the point of the wide bottom is, if you push it into a corner, it doesn't pick up the crumbs in the corner since it's too far from the holes. I wasn't even able to pick up a light fluffy dust bunny from the corner until I had it right in the middle of the vac... I'm using this thing on hardwood floors and a slightly shaggy rug...maybe if it was on your standard pile carpet it would create a better suction. But as far as I'm concerned it 'doesn't suck enough'!
The small holes also cause the super loud sound. 12 amps is great, but getting through the small holes just causes the air to scream at you.
I had a stick eureka vac with less amps and it did way better...boy do I miss that little vacuum. I'm going to donate this one and buy another cuz it's just not worth the frustration, time, and hearing loss!
perfomance and workmanship
I found this product to be everything it says and more. I use it on a bare floor and it works with ease and has great suction for cleaning up debris. The 12 amp motor makes this devise well worth the cost.
