I prefer vacuum cleaners with a bag over the bagless ones. I find that they pick up better.and when full you only empty the bag. On the other hand, you have no control with the bagless one's dirt and dust is not limited to the cannister.
I did my research at Consumer Reports and other review places. This vacuum is really rate great. I got this for my birthday on April 14th and when I put it together the agitator would not rotate in the Carpet position. With the power off I could not even rotate it. My wife called support on 4/20 and the first staff person determined it was defective and transfer to another department that did not carry through on the replacement. I did the same on 4/21 with a similar experience. I never experienced service that was so terrible in they thought it was a lawn mower and could not keep straight it was a vacuum cleaner and a new one at that. I am currently still working with Sears and today I contacted the State of Wisconsin Consumer Protection Agency.
I love this vacuum And I would recommend it to friends. Vacuum is a little heavy but love it.
Vacuum is perfect for hard floors and carpet. Strong suction.
Great vacuum but when we had a small problem customer service was not helpful or friendly. Amazon sells these and will stand behind them better than Sears.
Best vacuum I have bought. I would like for it to have a longer hose and a pedal to wind up the power cord, then it would be perfect!
It���s a great vacuum and I���m glad I got it. But be aware that it���s fairly heavy, the fancy fabric bags aren���t cheap, and oh how I wish it had an automatic cord retractor.
Excellent suction, as reviews confirm, but only 4 stars because of how heavy it is. Love that it does floors as well as carpets. The attachments work well, but long piece keeps falling off of the side when I���m vacuuming.
