 Expected it to last a little longer December 30, 2008
I purchased my upright about 2 years ago and while it continues to have good suction and cleans fairly well, I'm disappointed that it has already developed a short in the switch area which has melted the handle and renders it unuseable for fear of a fire. Online research reveals that others have also had this problem. While it is probably fixable, I'm not in love enough with the sweeper to keep it. It does not lay flat enough to clean under tables, and the on board hose and tools have a habit of falling off at inconvenient times. The other inconvenience has been finding replacement bags anywhere but online.
 Hate this vaccum! December 22, 2008
Owned this product for a couple of years now and have had nothing but headaches. It clogs frequently. It rarely fills a bag, so I know it is not picking up. The furniture attatchment sucks up the fabric and does not clean. It is heavy and bulky and very hard to control. Also, after only a few months the plastic piece that lock the vac into the sandup position broke. This vaccum is not worth your money!!
 LOVE IT March 13, 2008
Ok, I have owned no less than 4 vacuums in as many years. I am too cheap to pay $500 for a "nice" one (so I have paid more than $1000 over the years for cheap, inefficient ones). My mother has a 15 year old Eletrolux that will still suck the color out of the carpet!! I decided I would break down and buy one. Still being as cheap as I am, I found a refurb Aptitude for around $130 with a two year warranty. The suction is great, I love the weight and the feel of the vacuum. The cleaning tools work wonderful. While there are features on my mom's older vacuum that are better (e.i. it will lie flat on the floor to clean under furniture), the cleaning power of this one is very comparible. Will it still be this great 15 years from now? Probably not, but there aren't many things made today that are comparible in quality to the past. For now, ten months later, it is as good as day one! Obviously the bad reviewers have never owned a Hoover, Dirt Devil, or Bissle...BELEIVE ME...I paid more for them and was dissatisfied from the start.
Great product - great price February 25, 2008
We now own two of these vacuums - one for each floor of our house. We've had our first one for a couple of years now and recently bought our second. We haven't had a single problem with them (and my wife vacuum's the carpet every day). This vacuum is light and easy to push - without the worry of a self-propelled system breaking down on you. This vacuum has a very strong suction power and does an excellent job at keeping the carpet clean. The bag is easy to access and change. The quality of this product is much better than a Hoover Windtunnel which we replaced. I highly recommend it!
Worst Vacumn I have ever owned January 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this vacumn from Sam's. Everybody told me that this was a good brand. Two weeks after I purchased this vacumn the handle came loose because of the extremely heavy weight. I tried to fix the handle but could not.I have had less than 6 months now and I have had to put duct tape on the handle to keep it together. Also the cord does not have anything to hang on. the little hooks just don,t work. I paid more than $300.00 for this vacumn and I will probably just throw it away. Please listen to me and don'r but this vacumn. Very unhappy.
