Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love it. I had been using an eight year old Hoover T-Series WindTunnel Pet Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum, UH70210 - Corded, and it sucked pretty much everything but dirt. It weighed a bazillion pounds, and it was so.hard.to.push. After using my new Shark for the first time, I also realize that it didn't really pick up a lot of dirt either. I did a lot of research. I was torn between this and a Dyson Ball. In the end, it was the weight that was my deciding factor, because we have a three story house, which means I was going to be carrying it up and down a lot of stairs. We have carpet upstairs and in the basement. The main level is bamboo/hardwood. This vacuum works amazingly well on both, but it is nothing short of a miracle on carpet. My husband, who doesn't notice much of anything, could actually tell, simply by walking on it, that the carpet felt "fluffier". Because it's so light, it makes everything pretty easy to clean. I have ditched the dust wand and use the dusting attachment on all the furniture. Above floor cleaning is a breeze. I do my ceiling fans and the tops of picture frames once a month. I now clean the baseboards and vents every single time I vacuum, because it's just that easy. This thing has pretty much eliminated the need for a deep Spring Cleaning, because it makes simply keeping it clean as you go a snap. If all of that is not convincing enough, take a look at this picture. It's actually kind of embarrassing to share, but it certainly proves my point. I just now vacuumed this out of our couch. In our household we have one dog, two adults, and two kids. This couch basically brand new. We bought it when we moved into our new house, only FOUR MONTHS ago. Until now, I had been vacuuming it DAILY with a handheld Dirt Devil Dustbuster. If this picture doesn't convince you, nothing will!
