Not Your Grandmother's Sears!

Pros
Long Power Cord
Stores Neatly
Cons
Cumbersome To Use Tools
Motor Shuts Off
Poor Design
Unreliable
Best Uses
Pet Hair
Comment:
Bad design for duster-tool and no good at corners for any function. Handle is not ergonomic. Biggest issue is that it cuts out on the floor attachment unless held at an extreme right-ward angle. This is NOT the quality or design that I expected from a Sears vacuum.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Heavy, powerful, not what I wanted.

Comment:
I went by the Consumer Report ratings instead of personal recommendations. When I began vacuuming I was very disappointed. This thing was bulky, heavy and difficult to maneuver. The hose kept slightly detaching from the canister which shut off the vacuum. I was very disappointed that I did not love this vacuum. I wanted something that I could get underneath furniture easily and to do the stairs with. This was not the best solution. I ended up splurging and purchasing the cordless Dyson. PS. Dyson got horrible reviews on Consumer Reports, but it's perfect for me. This product is good for people that are operating on one level primarily and don't have a lot of obstacles that need to be circled past.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cons
Poor Design

Comment:
Lots of small plastic parts have broken and are very expensive to replace. I actually have glue and duct tape in three different places holding ours together. It is quiet and sufficiently powerful but it is unlikely to last very long at the rate these pieces are breaking. I wouldn't buy it again.
