Quite a beast of a little vacuum cleaner
After it arrived I unpackaged the vacuum cleaner and gave it a whirl. It was packaged well, easy to assemble, and runs like a champ. The suction on the unit is fairly impressive and it thankfully works extremely well on low pile tight-nit carpet (which had been my one hesitation when ordering this). It does work better on true hard tiles and flooring, but it's still most acceptable otherwise. Noise wise it's very tolerable, was certainly more quiet than the Dyson hair monster that this is replacing.
The primary purpose I got this for was pet hair, having both a cat and two great Pyrenees mix dogs that shed fairly heavily. The "hair monster" Dyson we had was a constant battle to cut the hair out from the roller and after years of use was starting to burn out from the strain. This little unit does an amazing job pulling up long, medium, and short hairs (and a surprising amount more dust and dirt than I had seen in a long while) from the low pile carpet. The canister isn't very big and needs to be emptied frequently, but for the price and quality I can't knock it there.
About the only things preventing me from giving it a five star rating are the cord length and the upper tank separator grill.
The cord is a good 10-15 feet shorter than my previous vacuums which means I have a bit of a plug-n-play game when it comes to vacuuming my area, and with my first attempt I ended up finding out just how short it was when the plug came out from the wall several times. It's something I'll adjust to in time, but I do wish that it had that little bit extra length.
The upper tank separator grill, while easy to untwist and remove and clear out any wrapped/trapped/ect dirt and hair and whatnot, is still a little bit tedious compared to other bag-less vacuums I have used. It also tends to make a bit of a mess dumping out the trapped contents on the ground when you have to do it, granted you just re-vacuum that spot and your all set again.
It does take some getting used to using it around wall edges, but so far I can't say I'm disappointed in the least with this little vacuum. For the price and performance it's duly impressive and well worth it.
