Comment:
Primary vacuum motor failure, smells hot after only 9 months of light use. I verified this failure by disassembling unit to find motor brushes arced through commutator. It had good ratings when I purchased it. Looking at comments in other users ratings where I bought this unit, motor failure was one of the most common reported. Way too many reporting this problem.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I purchased the vacuum, used it five times and it broke. My house is small and has a mixture of hardwood floors and area rugs. I am a clean person and wanted a normal vacuum. The vacuum was a little cumbersome, the canister got stuck on its own cord and on furniture or in tight corners. As for performance it didn't work that well on my wood floors, it sucked up a lot of dust but with a bit of dirt or a crumb, it would spit it back out and I found myself going over areas a second or third time. On rugs it performed a bit better but the head would get jammed and I had to clean it out before starting again. On the fifth use it broke. It smelled like burning and started making a horrible noise. I called the 1800 number on the box. They refused to exchange my money even with a receipt but offered a belt replacement. Two uses after the belt replacement it went again. I have since bought a Dyson, it was twice the price but it was completely worth it!
How long have you owned it:

Comment:
I bought this a year ago, and it started falling apart the first time I used it. I should have known better. The plastic nobs fell off, the wand wouldn't colapse, and then it just stopped working. Oh and the cord is too short.
