Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reviewing information about multiple vacuums online, I purchased this on clearance at a department store even though I wasn't sure this was the one I wanted. We have only throw rugs and carpet on our stairs. The rest of the house is linoleum, hard wood, wood laminate and painted cement floors in the basement. I was only using a stick vac for the past 6 years until we came down with a flea problem. I bought this to try to get it under control. After flea bombing the house, I did a thorough cleaning from top to bottom, every room, every surface. I used this vacuum like you wouldn't believe. It is wonderful on hard floors, low carpet and upholstery. I use the rolling brush attachment for the hard wood and the laminate. Then I used the carpet attachment on hard floor setting for the linoleum and cement. The carpet attachment works great on my throw rugs that can't go in the washer. I think the dirt cup is ok size, I didn't mind emptying it often. The cord could have been slightly longer, but again, I didn't mind moving it around. I love the swivel function of the heads and that I can get under and around everything with relative ease. I also used it on my walls. I picked up lots of debris, it didn't like some things, coins, heavier or larger pieces of anything, but does any vacuum like them except maybe a shop vac? I really like that I can adjust the suction up or down. When I used around my curtains, I could turn it down so it didn't suck in the whole curtain, or turned it up to make sure I got everything under the baseboards, etc. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to someone that has all hard floors and maybe some low pile rugs. It does the job that I needed it to and I used it almost constantly for 3 days. Pros: Worked great on all types of hard floors. Moves easily, swivels nicely for getting under everything. Suction is good. Very easy to empty and clean filters. Can turn off the power on the handle to stop and move furniture or change heads. Cons: Could have a slightly longer cord (not a big deal).
