I have twin toddlers, two large dogs, two cats, and a messy husband. We vacuum our tiled/wood laminate living spaces and area rugs about 4 times a week, sweeping the hard floors between vacuumings. So, yeah, I’m a pretty heavy user of vacuum cleaners – I demand a lot from my appliances! This model works well – picks up a lot from the rugs, does a good job of sucking up dust bunnies and cheerios from the hard floor without using the beater brush, and gets good suction across the whole cleaning head. Like some other reviewers, I didn’t expect so much power from a vacuum for less than $100. My one complaint is that the cleaning head is deep enough (front to back) and the unit is heavy enough that it’s not at all easy to use on stairs. In the end, I got what I paid for, though, because it only worked for about 8 months before it just … died. We tinkered with, inspected, cleaned, and kicked the thing to no avail. It just won’t turn on anymore! If I can get my husband to accept the fact that neither of us can fix this vacuum, I’ll probably buy a second one and hope it holds out a bit longer this time.
