Emptying the cup isn't so much fun
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Really does clean the carpet and lets you know where the dirt is with an indicator light
Cons: Taking the cup out to empty is a dirty task. Dirt flies around everywhere.
I didn't get to experience this vacuum brand new since it was my fiancee's who had it for a few months before I met him. He told me the reason he bought it was for the "pet hair sucker", which is an attachment with special brushes that spin and it really does get pet hair off furniture very well. I use it on the dog's bed and it comes out like brand new.
As far as performance, this vacuum really does a good job, and gets the carpet clean. There is an indicator light which tells you where the dirt is. The only thing that I don't like about it is when you empty out the cup, a ton of dirt flies out and all over the place. Sure, it's a bagless vacuum, but at least with the bags, the dirt stays inside. With a dog around, I have to empty the cup everytime I vacuum, and normally I have to vacuum again around the place where I took the cup out because of the dirt spillage. ...

Still his best
Pros: Emotional lyrics, hard-ripping chords, Reznor production
Cons: Nothing, this album is pure genius and a perfect masterpiece
I've been a Manson fan since 1994, I was first drawn into the music since I had experienced the band perform with Nine Inch Nails in Oakland, CA. There was something scary, yet appealing about Manson, and the musicians that backed him up on stage stood out more than any other band that I had seen before him. To me, Manson is a true artist, a true musician, which is very rare in the world today of factory-made pop stars and reality TV shows where you can be famous with hardly and sweat or tears shed. Manson worked hard for his fame, and for many years. If it wasn't for Trent Reznor, I am not sure if he would have made it on his own, but I am glad his music made it to my ears, because it helped me through many difficult situations in my life and still does as an adult.
I was just a kid when I first heard Antichrist Superstar (well, okay, I think I was 20 years old, but that's STILL a kid in my eyes) and I remember just being overwhelmed, like I was just hit in the chest with a hammer. I couldn't take in all of the pain, hate and angst all at one time. I had to listen to it again and again until I started to understand the album in my own way. When I read Manson's biography and magazines about the meaning of the songs, I began to realize that Manson was singing about himself, politics, religion, love, and about his childhood. He covered all the bases, and in some places I was like, "Hey.. I feel the same way!" and there were some areas where I felt sympathy for him and how he grew up, especially when he speaks of his grandfather's nasty obsessions.
This album will always be there for me in times of pain, or when I just simply want to rock out at home and annoy the neighbors. It's still his best and no album has yet to top it. I own every single Manson album, but this is the one I always go back to. I can't imagine myself listening to it when I am 85 and in a rest home, but who knows, maybe I will have Antichrist Superstar tucked away in my knitting bag along with other "oldies" such as Mechanical Animals and Lest we Forget. ...
