Pros: This vacuum cleaner was low to the ground and really sucked up the dirt. We had it for about 8 monthes and it kept its powerful suction. This vacuum had the best suction I have ever had in a vacuum cleaner.

Cons: After a while of using the vacuum cleaner, the handle behind the on/off switch would get extremely hot. As monthes went on the problem became worse. It wasn't as noticable the first couple of monthes. Later the handle became so hot that it melted the outside of the handle case and burned out the switch. Unfortuately there are no screws to take the vacuum a part to fix the burned out switch.

I paid $169.00 at one of the retailers for this vacuum cleaner. I was really excited about how well this vacuum cleaner sucked up the dirt especially the ground in dirt. The handle behind the switch would get warm, but I didn't think about it at ...the time of purchase. As the monthes rolled on the problem got much worse. It became difficult to vacuum very long because the handle got so hot. The other day my son felt his hand burn and the vacuum cleaner quit working. It finally burned out the switch. The plastic behind the vacuum cleaner melted. The manufactures need to improve on their switches before selling this product again. It could be one of the best vacuums made if they would fix the switch problem. The switch over heating could cause someone to get hurt or start a fire. Read more Less
