ECONOMICAL:
This is an inexpensive vacuum that gets the job done. It does not have all the bells and whistles, which for me means less that can break down. I had been looking for a decent vacuum that wasn’t over priced. Consumer Reports had done vacuum reviews and placed this among the better upright vacuums you can buy. I was really looking for something with power and the ability take care of cat hair. I decided to purchase this and I got what I paid for and more. The vacuum indeed has the power and ability to get up animal hair with ease. I vacuumed every room and then looked in the bag. It picked up so much particulate and animal hair, big improvement over the more expensive vacuum cleaner I once had. Ya, it doesn’t have a bag indicator or a head light, but my old vacuum had those and I never used them(indicator accuracy was questionable). The vacuum is light weight and easy to push (big help for my back). It has a secondary and final filter, both helpful in keeping the motor safe and returning clean air into the room.

BELT WORRIES:
My big worry when buying this was the complaints about the belt breaking. No such occurrences for me. I have used this vacuum extensively, no belt damage has occurred. Huge tip for those with this problem or those who are wanting to buy this vacuum –The height adjustment on the vacuum is there for a reason. Do not put it on the bare floor setting and vacuum a shag carpet. You will destroy the belt and cause premature wear on the motor and/or other components. In my case, I adjusted the brush height so that the vacuum just barely crawls when on and the brush is lowered. This lets you know it is loosening up the dirt and not trying to dig a hole in the carpet. If the vacuum is pulling you along, this is an indicator that the brush is too low. Also, try not to run over clothes or the edges of throw rugs for this can also cause belt damage or breakage. Simply put, adjust the agitator brush to the height that the job requires.
