Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you're considering this vacuum, look at the tendencies in the ratings. The positive ones tend to be written immediately after the vacuum arrives. And yes, the first 3-4 months you use this vacuum you will probably be impressed, given the price. However, it is incredibly cheaply made and will disappoint quickly. My problem with it is that the belt slips almost off almost immediately after I put it back on. I disassembled the machine and found that there is absolutely nothing holding the belt on to the rod upon which it fits. That could have been solved in the engineering literally for 50 cents. It appears that I'll be needing to replace the belt every couple of months, maybe a belt with maximum tension might not fall off so quickly, but I'm not hopeful.
