It’s easy to get fed up with uprights that never seem to really clean the carpet, yet this unit surpasses all vacuum cleaner expectations. It is a very powerful unit that really gets the job done. One of the greatest features is the indicator lights that let you know when the carpet is clean. It is very helpful because it forces you to vacuum the carpet slowly so you can get all the dirt you can instead of just skimming across the rug, leaving half the dirt behind.
The Hepa filters do an exceptional job of trapping the finest of dirt and restricting it from getting back into the atmosphere. Like most products, there are downsides. One is weight. It is a fairly massive machine and if you are taking it up and down stairs it could be a physical hardship for older people.
For this product to perform at its peak, the filter system has to be cleaned accurately and frequently. In fact, that is probably the major item against it. As much as it performs so well at getting the last bit of dirt so does it perform equally well at plugging up the filters. Once the filters start to get plugged then decreased performance is a possibility. You have to take the filters and canisters out about every four or five times of usage and use the garage shop to vacuum the filters and filter holders. This cleans them up quite well and so it’s not really a big issue. If you are not into the extra maintenance then it may not be the machine for you. It’s just a small trade off for the high cleaning power the machine has when it is at its peak.
Believe it or not, the self propelled feature on the machine does work and works very well. All in all, it’s an excellent product when compared to the majority of uprights available today.
