Great for the price, but a few problems

I told my husband to get this vacuum for me for Mother's day, and although he double checked to make sure I did in fact want a household cleaning item as my present, he got it. I was so excited to use it. My other vacuum has been slowly dying over the last few months. This thing works as well as it claims too. It doesn't cover the space that my old one did, but since I had to go over the same spot multiple times with my old one, I'll take this one. I swear my carpet even felt fluffier when I was done. The amount of stuff it picked up was gross, but in a good way. Half my house is wood and tile floors and it takes just one switch to go from carpet to wood and worked just as good on the hard floors. I may have only used it once, but so far, I'm in love.

Follow up: It's now January of 2012 and I still love this thing. I use it to do all the floors, plus our bedroom furniture is dark and shows dust easily and I use the tools on the vacuum to keep it looking nice. I also use it to keep my floorboards dust free. My almost 3 year old daughter even likes to help me vacuum with it. The filters do need cleaned once in a while, but it tells you to do that in the owners manual. It is easy and not a hassle at all. Usually I get this vacuum out to do a small space, but end up doing much more because it is just easy and light enough. I'm currently 9 months pregnant and still find this thing easy enough to haul up and down my stairs and to empty the canister. Still a very happy woman. I purchased this item from Overstock.com. It cost less there, but now I wish I had purchased from Amazon, as their return policy is more reasonable.

Out of the box, it was very easy to assemble. I love how easy it is to maneuver around a room with the multi-articulated base. It has great suction, and it does a much better job at picking up dirt, lint, etc. from my carpeted floors than my previous vacuum. I was debating between this and a Dyson Ball. From a maneuvering standpoint, it is essentially identical to the Dyson. The attractive feature for me was the lift-away so I could clean the staircase. To the best of my knowledge, Dyson does not have a corded lightweight vacuum combo that can do this. Therefore, I felt this vacuum to be superior. This feature, however, is the downfall of the machine.

There are two clips that hold the debris canister to the main motor. When using the lift-away feature, these two clips are the only connection points that keep the handle attached to the motor. My first time using the lift-away feature, I lifted the canister, and the motor fell off. Upon inspection, I noticed that one of the attachments where the clip grips onto had broken off. I thought that it could have been my error that maybe I didn't clip it on correctly. I used some superglue to reattach the broken plastic tab. By the way, that was an amazingly strong attachment with superglue. I was very surprised!
