Dirt suction great but no roller brush so no long hair pick up!

The suction power of this vacuum is superb! A light weight, very quiet vacuum. Loved it but had to end up returning it as it doesn't have a roller brush at the end, it wouldn't pick up any hair which was a big issue for us.

If you have pets and are constantly dragging out your heavy vacuum cleaner, then you will love this one.  I bought this vacuum as a supplement to my large (and heavy) canister vacuum and have been pleasantly surprised by its ability to pick up pet hair.  Because of the small bagless chamber, you have to empty it frequently, so I wouldn't count on this vacuum as my only vacuum cleaner.  I wanted a lightweight vacuum to use on my hardwood floors and area rugs, specifically to pick up pet hair, and this vacuum exceeded my expectations.  I tried the Shark, a similar model made by Fantom, and another cordless vacuum and not one of them worked anywhere near as well as this one does (stay away from the Fantom cordless - by far the worst!!).  I don't think any cordless vacuum will have enough power to pick up pet hair like this one did.  Overall, this vacuum is a great little vacuum for quick clean-ups or to maintain pet-hair free area rugs.

One suggestion - use the carpet setting even on bare floors.  The brushes are high enough so they won't scratch bare floors, but the cleaning capability is much less without the rolling brush. I found that it just rolled over the dog hair without picking it up unless I used the carpet setting.

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the small holding chamber which requires frequent emptying.

liked the way it cleaned and also the easy switch from carpet to floor.  did not like the fact there wasn't a handle on lower front of vacuum to lift whole machine to do stairs as my old eureka vacuum had.

There is good suction. It is light and easy to use. However, since it is bagless, it is SUPER DIRTY AND DUSTY when cleaning the dust canister. Not recommend,  especially for people who are sensitive to dust.

This vacuum is fantastic at picking up dirt, and it's true it never loses suction.  I really like the lifetime heppa filter that is washable.

The thing that makes me DREAD using this vacuum:
1: It is very heavy!
2:I HATE the telescoping handle. It has a very long hard piece that the flexible hose slides over, which gives you 3 or 4 feet of inflexibility. I usually end up tipping over the vacuum while trying to use the handle.

It comes with lots of attachments, 2 don't attach to the vacuum and when I tried using them were not worth the time it took to go get them and attach them. I have had this vacuum for 2+ years... I'm tired of lugging it around and fighting with the handle.  Any one want to buy it from me ? :-) Currently looking for a lighter vacuum that I don't have to fight with!

We purchased this unit for our house with carpet and hardwood floors. it only has to setting,carpet and non-carpet.
I found you have to leave in carpet mode  on hardwood floors or it will not pickup. The removeable side wand works great,well
built and very easy to use  for catching the edges. the power cord is very short and so is the cord hooks to secure it when not
in use making a pain in the butt to wind,unwind and I am constantly changing to other outlets going room to room.
 My mistake in that I did not realize it uses a vacuum bag which after my last bagless vacuum is a major downfall.
my old vac had  lever which released the container containing the debri for easy disposal.
the bags are small and I have pets with hair so I now changing bags every other use and now I have to buy bags as long
as I own this vacuum. You can find bagless vacuums for the same cash which are cheaper and for more easier to maintain.

Wonderful job picking up dirt and pet hair from the carpet wishing that you didn't have to hand roll the cord.

This vacuum is very good and has amazing suction (especially with the hose) but for future buyers - no, long hair will still 100% get tangled up into it. Yes, I'm aware the vast majority of people would assume this, but I wanted to mention it since other reviewers / question answers were responding saying it works great with it, it doesn't - like the old tale goes, you need to cut it all off with a sharp pair of scissors just like with all other vacuums. It does help if you do 'floor' setting only first on carpets/rugs, then go back with the carpet setting, but you will still see lots of hair stuck inside. If you *don't* have any carpet or rugs in your house and have long haired people living with you, this will work nicely, as you can easily use it on floor only forever and not have to worry too much about any tangling downstairs. It's still a great vacuum and I do not regret my purchase!

Our 9-year old Bissell vacuum finally gave up so I had to get a new one.  Went to Target to check out the new models and saw this.  It turned out cheaper at Amazon so I immediately made the purchase online.  The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have the brush on/off switch, which I did not know before I purchased, otherwise, I would have gotten the other models with that feature.  Because the brush keeps rolling when it's on, the vacuum is not usable on hardwood floors and also makes a really annoying noise when used on hard floors because of the brush.  It would have been perfect if there's the switch.

****UPDATE REGARDING THE BRUSH ROLL. 6/1/2014

So after using this vacuum a couple times, I discovered that turning the brush control dial to "high carpet" will lift the brush roll high enough so that it doesn't touch the floor.  At least I can now use it on my hardwood floor without having to worry about the brush scratching the wood surface.

I also love the easy dirt-disposal system.  All you have to do is push the button at the bottom front of the dirt container and the bottom part opens to let all the collected dirt go. Very convenient.

I love everything about it except that it only lasts for 16 minutes.  It won't replace my corded vacuum but it is so awesome that I have used it everyday to touch everything up real quick.  What would make this vacuum the PERFECT vacuum is if it had the option of plugging a cord into it also.  Then you could decide if you wanted to vacuum the whole house or just do the touch ups.  It cleans so well that you actually "get into" vacuuming so you want it to last longer!!  I find my car is really clean now because it's so fast to vacuum it out.  It is awesome for picking up pet hair too!  But keep in mind that you only have 16 minutes! Unfortunately, there is no way I can replace my corded vacuum with it. But a wonderful 2nd vacuum - especially if you aren't someone in love with vacuuming.

So far this has been pretty good. Perhaps the only thing i wish for is that the head was bigger or there was an attachment that could make it bigger so I can vacuum a bigger surface area. Right now I have to run this up and down over the area I want to clean so many times! Other than that, seems to work great. HOWEVER, remember to put in the filter thing on the inside. My husband emptied this out and then forgot to put the filter thing back in. After a couple of days of vacuuming, I realized dirt and hair had gotten caught inside the vacuum cleaner and had to unscrew and open it up completely, then patiently and painstakingly remove all the trapped dust, dirt and hair from the insides. Not a fun thing to do.

It's the only robotic vacuum with a suction only mode, which is great for me since my long hair will tie up even "brushless" models.  Very quiet as well.

Good suction and cord wind mechanism is awesome. Brush attachment isn't a brush though, some kind of plastic thing - no good. Might be little heavy for smaller people.

Great as a rake but lost 1 star as it just spews hair everywhere, so not suited for brushing indoors. Also, the handle while comfortable is a hair magnet! Which makes it hard to clean. But otherwise a great rake

I'm surprised how this wasn't mentioned in the pages of reviews I went through. The floor nozzle that it comes with is pretty bad. There are only two  rear wheels so it does not roll well and feels like it is scraping the floor. I doubt it would scratch the floor since it is all plastic but that isn't why I'm writing this.

Now, I bought this because my old unit has lost its power it once had and I was mainly looking for suction power and this definitely delivers in that department. The only issue is that because the suction power is so strong, the floor nozzle grips the floor making it very difficult to slide around. Yes, you can lower the power a bit but I got this for the power and want to make sure I clean up as much dust/dirt in one go. And even with the power set to medium, it still feels like the bottom is scraping the floor as you slide it around and overall very fatiguing. I'm only 26 in good shape and I get immense lower back pain after going through one room.

So why should you still get this? I swapped out the floor nozzle from my previous canister vacuum that had 2 rear wheels as well as 2 front wheels and it completely fixed the issue. It now glides with ease even on max power. The vacuum that I swapped the floor nozzle out from is the Hoover Portable Canister Model # S1361. I'm not sure if they sell the part separately but if you can, definitely try to find a floor nozzle with 4 wheels. That is the reason for my 4/5 star rating.

My only other gripe which is minor is that the canister itself doesn't roll and follow you around that well. You find yourself having to adjust and tug on it and at times rolling on its side. Otherwise, a fantastic purchase!

Shark Navigator has great suction power.  Cleans my carpets so well!  Doesn't do well on hard wood surface.  Easy to assemble and use.

Love this sweeper for cat litter on bare floors!  This will not work on high pile carpet and it does not have suction but it glides on hard floors and picks up everything in it's path!  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the fact that hair gets stuck in the rollers, I bought this mainly for my bathroom floor since we keep the litter box.
