Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just moved to a new house and needed a new vacuum for a house with laminate floors. Have a Dyson upright and it was too heavy and not that great in picking up small particles on laminate floors. After much anguish and reading so many reviews, settled on this vacuum. I am 95% satisfied. Pros -Quieter than my upright Dyson. Can vacuum at night and not wake up the kids. -Great in picking up small particulate matter and dust. The vaccuum head has a roll that spins when it is in contact with the floor. It does not use a belt but spins passively due to the suction with the ground. -love the cord retraction functionality. Completely awesome. -much lighter than the Dyson -Can choose between 2 vacuum heads and also has 2 small accessory attachments. Cons -it has less overall suction than the Dyson, but yet it worked better on the laminate. -just decent on low pile rug. Would not use this on carpet. -not very compact in storage. See photo. Neutral -cord length is fine in my opinion. Not as long as Dyson, but it's ok. ----------///-----------/-/------- Update 6/2016 It's been about two months. I forgot to add a few pros - great in picking things up close to the wall. - easy to take off canister, easy to empty, and easy to put back on. - like the easily adjustable length stick Cons- - not so easy to vaccuum stairs. - a plastic piece which surrounds the hose to the handle broke. It's function was to prevent kinking of the hose at the handle. So far it has not been a problem as the hose is pretty sturdy and doesn't kink even without it, however, kind of suprised it broke after 2 months. - haven't really found a use for the 2 hose attachments.
