Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Overall, I'm happy with this product. It gets the job done better and more efficiently than the canister and upright vacuums I was using. Pros: - Off/floor/carpet slide switch is on the top of the handle - super convenient to run from rugs to bare floor and back. - Good suction - picks up small rocks. - The power head is low profile - gets under the toe kicks and sofa. - The long cord reaches several rooms, rewinds. - The extra floor attachment is ~9" and so gets into the nooks and crannies the powerhead won't. - The wand / powerhead clip on the unit when upright so it stores compactly in the closet. - Powerhead is light, a breeze to whip around the room, but see handle con. Cons: - The carpet height indicator is hard to see in anything but bright light. - The handle rotates freely 90d ccw, which is good for getting under the sofa if you're right-handed, but not so good if you're left handed. Also makes the power head harder to control when on rugs/carpet. - Tool & bag lids are hard plastic, meaning you'll have to be reasonably gentle with them. - The extra attachments, excepting the one for the floor just slide on, rather than clip. - the headlight goes off in the floor mode. - The powerhead doesn't get up the dust film on hard flooring when the brush is off. I got a 1-1/4" x 14" wide floor brush, which works great and is much lighter than the powerhead. Info: - This unit uses 3 filters: o Bag: 8" x 13.5" Panasonic MC-V150M | type C-5 | Kenmore 50558, 5055, 50557. # to a pack & bag material vary. o Hepa: 4 5/16" x 2 13/16" x 13/16", Panasonic MC-V194H | Kenmore EF-2 | #86880. 1 to a pack. o Motor protector: 5" x 5" x 3/8", Panasonic? | Kenmore CF-1. 2 to a pack. - Wand fits 1-1/4" attachments like 1 & 1/4 inches DELUXE FLOOR BRUSH for most vacuum cleaners. - Motor head is reasonably powerful, but less so than my old Eureka upright. - The powerhead roller has brushes on both sides, rather than a beater bar & brush. Update: I've used this unit 1x a week for 3 years or so now. Still working great.
