Comment:
I always used an upright vacuum, but when it came time to replace it, I thought I would try a canister. This unit is so lightweight and quiet, I wish I changed years ago. It has variable suction strengths so you can actually vacuum an area rug without it getting jammed up. Just turn the switch to return to a stronger vacuum power.This machine is so much easier to use than my old ones, I actually clean more often. So far, the only negative I have experienced is the short length of the power cord.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Maybe I should say 'The Lexus' of vacuums, but its made in Germany and has the traditional German quality. I spent the money for this item because I am tired of buying and using junk. The Titan is well-designed, well-made, light, nimble, powerful, and quiet. You can turn the head 90 degrees with a twist of your wrist to get into corners or under tables and chairs. The canister follows you without resistance, spinning around completely when necessary, and easily rolling over its own cord. I do with the cord were five feet longer. While it has an attachment for hardwood, you can use the carpet attachment just by shutting off the roller motor. The smooth switch is handily placed on the metal tube. It takes a second for the motor to spin up to speed and impatient people have to watch not to tap the power switch again. Just tap it once and start vacuuming. You might not believe it is running at full power because it is so quiet. Now you can hear the phone ring while cleaning the house! You might not need to spend the money to get the equivalent of the Titan's cleaning ability, though it beats the recent vacuums we've had. But if you want lightness, nimbleness, quiet, and the simple pleasure of using a well-made device, if you are tired of buying junk, this is the answer.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
