Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this vacuum because it has the best reviews, but now I'm thinking with over 2,000 reviews, people must have an incentive. Yes, the vacuum is powerful. But so are the vents on either side spitting half the dirt back at you! I'm a children's therapist, so I got this for my office because I work with a lot of sand, glitter, etc. I know it might sound funny, but I had glitter literally pelting my hand. I put an old cleaning cloth over the vents to catch it, and it literally looked like half the glitter was going right back out in the air. That's gross to be throwing all that dust right back in my face, and highly ineffective. The return process was very easy, though.
