  • Versatile workhorse
Got this vacuum for my small business, needed to replace a different brand of vacuum that died. We’ve used it to clean both carpet and hard floors already and it works great. It feels really sturdy and the suction is strong. The lights help you see what you missed. I’d recommend this vacuum to any business or homeowner who has multiple surfaces to clean and needs a workhorse. ... show more

  • Worst vacuum I’ve ever bought
Worst vacuum I’ve ever bought. I’ve enjoyed the extra long power cord but there are 4 major dysfunctional things on it. The handle broke off, the suction option sliding button in it lost its function, when your vacuuming with the hose and you grab the vacuum by the canister handle.. it loses suction and sounds loud, the transition from hose to canister is where it gets clogged really easily. Not worth the purchase. ... show more

  • Exceptional!
Normally I do not give reviews, but I feel that everyone should know about this product. I clean houses for a living. Every day and most weekends I use a vacuum. I have been through 7 in the last two years. All of them were complete nightmares that couldn't hold up for more than a few months... some did not even last a week. This vacuum is by far the best I have ever purchased. I finally buckled down, did extensive research and here I am. It might be too early to tell, but so far: I love it's light weight, meneuverability, long cord, extension tools, suction and low noise volume. It has held up with every job that I do for 7 hours, everyday. I would absolutely recommend this vacuum. I will give an update after a few more months, but so far, I am more impressed than I ever have been with any other vacuum I have ever purchased. ... show more

  • Amazing value, A+ commercial vacuum
Incredible suction, easy tooless maintenance, quiet motor that can run for hours without overheating, removable 40ft cord, and the auto floor detection works fantastic. It does great on hard floor, low pile, area rugs, and high pile carpet. The suction control valve is very nice for cleaning every kind of floor. Ive been using it for all my large residential jobs, it’s fantastic. I’ll without a doubt buy another if it ever kicks the bucket ... show more

  • So So - Could use some improvements
I run a dog training business so I vacuum every day and there is tons of dog hair. This vacuum works ok. It is super light and eash to push and I LOVE the long cord! I can almost do the whole training area on a single plug! It does pick up the hair, but I don't like the automatic rug to smooth floor function. It seems like there is a lot more suction when I am running it on the carpet runners. And if you turn off the automatic function, then the roller stops spinning and for my situation, it just doesn't work. I also wish the suction was overall stronger. Lastly, I am not sure where the exhaust vents are, but when I am vacuuming up dog hair on the smooth floor, it actually blows the hair into the area I just vacuumed, so I have to redo the section of floor I already did. ... show more

  • Love this vacuum for my business
If you're looking for a multi-surface vacuum this is the one you need to buy!!! I bought this one because I needed something that could handle both carpet and hard floors without switching machines. This vac is amazing for hard floors and carpet. it leaves the most satisfying carpet lines. AND YOU DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WHEN SWITCHING FLOOR TYPES. it automatically changes the brush roll speed which is so cool. ive never seen that before. Its so easy to vacuum around furniture at my business bc the handle swivels so easily. ive had other vacuums where this was a huge problem. The cord is long enough for big rooms, and the dust cup is simple to empty. It feels sturdy but not too heavy. If you have a mix of flooring like I do, this is a solid choice. ... show more

  • Worst vacuum ever....
I have a cleaning company that uses this vacuum probably 5 hours a week. I clean filters, I replaced the hepa filter, I keep my equipment clean and maintained. I have had it for 5 months and it sounds terrible (loud, squealing motor) and has even less suction than when I bought it. (Which is impressive because the suction was already had terrible suction) I could not dislike this vacuum anymore than I do. The durability is terrible. $300 for 5 months of use us outrageous. Get a real commercial vacuum, this is basically a low quality household vacuum from their popular competitors. ... show more
