 Was ok at first September 6, 2008
Amy in NY (central ny)
I bought this item after doing research on this site and looking at various reviews. It was really great when we first got it two (maybe 3) years ago. We had a dog at the time and I think picking up his hair (not to mention the cats') really did a number on it from the get go. It is not always easy to push on our rugs and that makes it tiring. The other thing is, this was our first experience with a bagless, and I actually think it is more of a pain to use than the bagged kind. You have to clean the filter and that involves actually washing it. So you can't use your vacuum until that dries out. Then to replace the filter is anywhere between $16 and $20 per filter, which is another pain, and not every store carries it. The vacuum is so cheap now (because it's an old model at this point), it's not even worth continually buying a filter for that cost. I am now in the market for a new vac, perhaps a canister model--definitely bagged.
Lots of assembly required August 27, 2008
Rikker
Nice product but be prepared to do a good bit of assembly. There are a lot of pieces. We passed up on the Hoover, which comes ready to use right out of the box, because this one had the lower price. A mistake. Took us over an hour to get it all together. One piece has screws that must be tightened but which are down sink-holes so deep and narrow, neither of my two screwdrivers would fit. I had to got to two stores to find one that would work. Buy the Hoover.

I have used this vacuum cleaner a couple of times. So far, for the cheap price I have paid, I think it did a good job.
Here are some negatives:
-No hose-floor vacuum switch as it was in the Optima line of Eureka vacuum cleaners. So, the hose suction is always on whether you use it or not. I would think that it weakens the floor suction power by eating from it.
-The height of the handle is NOT adjustable. I thought it could go up and down to accommodate people with different heights. For me, the fixed height of the handle is fine. I am average (5' 9''). Others might find it discomfortable.
-As some reviewers said, the motor at the front blows the dirt laying around (Not just on the ground but also on furnitures).
A few good points:
+Suction is Ok for me. It does pick up dirt. But I don't have to empty the dust compartment everytime I use, like some others mentioned. The chamber is large enough to become filled after 5-7 usages. By the way, I clean my little condo every 1-2 week.
+Less noisy than I expected. The Optima that belonged to my former roommate was a lot noisier than this. I was suprised with that. As a comparison, my blender even in the lowest setting creates more discomfort than that.
+The dust cup bottom release is a nice feature. Optima didn't have it. So, you don't have to open the lid of the dust cup to empty the dust.
+Surprisingly, I liked the light at the front. I can vacuum in low light areas of the condo during the day without turning the lights on.
I will update my review after more usage.
 Not built for a big room! June 30, 2008

This vac will not do a large room before the filter clogs and the thermal overload kicks it off. It is worthless for a gift shop daily cleaning. Also the first time trying to take the filter out was a pain as the book is wrong, saying to turn the top of the dirt holder. It pops up. I would not buy one again and am looking for a bagged model.
OK for the price June 25, 2008
polarpooch (Madison, WI United States)
I must say, I got a lower price than is offered here (paid 44.99). It's a decent vacuum. It's not spectacular. What I like: it's very light, has good suction power on the hose, and comes with a decent array of on board tools. It's bagless, which is nice. Nice, super long cord. What I don't like: it's cheaply made, and a pain in the arse to put together. The collection cup is small, and requires frequent empties. I also don't like the front vents that blow air forward, disturbing some of the items you are trying to vacuum up on bare floors. I had to "chase" some of the dog fur I was trying to vacuum. However, I wasn't expecting a Dyson. For the price I paid, I would say it's a good deal and a decent product.
