Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me explain - we've been together for four years now and we have been using an older canister vacuum that she had for vacuuming - I jokingly call it the 'octopus' because with the long hose and retractable cord that seems to be in the 'retract' mode constantly, it is a beast to work with. Now I'm an outdoorsy, man's-man kinda guy - I track a lot of debris in the house from grass clippings and leaf bits to chainsaw chips that ends up on the floors, not to mention the hair that sheds from my adult german shepherd. This has always been a source of irritation to her - she likes a clean house, and I wasn't helping by bringing in dirt after working outside. Now, I really love my wife. Sure, I would pull out the 'octopus' when asked, but I hated using the unit, and thus hated vacuuming. I needed a solution, so after much research into other brands of cordless vacs, I decided upon this one. Wow! What a difference! This thing sucks up dirt and debris like no one's business! It takes my dog's hair right out of our oriental rugs with the LED powerhead attached! It is lightweight - not just for me, but for her too - and it's slim profile and swivel head allow it to reach places the bulky octopus couldn't. It is so convenient to use, I have no hesitation to grab it and do a quick 5 minute sweep of the living areas, empty the basket and put it away. While my wife loves the portability and effectiveness of the unit, she REALLY loves that I actually LIKE to grab it to do a quick clean of the floors. I use this machine as often as my wife does! The 'octopus' was relegated to the basement after the first day of using our Tineco A10 (Master) and has not seen the light of day since. I'm a bit of a stickler for quality, as is my wife who is an engineer, and the construction, fit and finish of this unit and all accessories is top notch. No disappointments for us whatsoever in this purchase. I think it will work for you too.
