Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm not a professional house cleaner but I am degreed engineer that spent hours researching vacuums in all brands and price ranges to find something worth it's weight in gold. I rarely write reviews but this product definitely warranted it. I reviewed dozens of vacuums and literally read hundreds of reviews here and other consumer comparison sites. I bought this not because of the price point (though that makes the decision easier), but because there were very little complaints about the filter system and it's cleanup and maintenance. On many other more expensive vacuums the filter system is not convenient, nor is the access and removal simple. If this goes wrong it will damage the motor, and that is typically non-warranty expense. This is well-designed so that the parts that disconnect are obvious and have a logical position that is difficult to screw up. The point being is that it comes apart and goes back together easy. I'm sure there are vacuums with longer hoses, more suction, etc... but it cleaned up a room that hadn't been touched in a long time with minimal effort. I can't speak to the differences in carpet thickness, etc because I have mainly hardwood, rugs, and low carpet.. but it works and works well. I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient bagless vacuum that is easy to clean/maintain.
