Love this

Got this vacuum and was thrilled by its light weight and suction power, BUT then the problems started shortly after 4 or 5 uses. The power cord is so junky that the wires that run through it started fraying underneath. It was shorting as I used it. For a while as long as long as I held the cord and pinched it, it worked. But then it wouldn't even turn on. As you can in the photo, the zipper is of such poor quality that it started getting stuck and then like all cheap zippers it malfunctioned and its impossible to fix. I feel like I was robbed without a gun and I have no recourse but to throw this piece of junk away.

Great vacuum! I own my own housekeeping service for 35 years now and I’ve gone through vacuums. I will have to say this is one of the best top ten. The only thing I didn’t like was the pig tail connection it was very bulky and it ended up wearing out and causing a short in the cord so I had that removed which made a world of difference. It does go through belts and I was surprise that the handle literally disintegrated. It also has great suction. I recommend this vacuum. Unfortunately you can’t buy anything that lasts so you have to expect that when you purchase anything new today that you’re going to have to repair it frequently. It’s very unfortunate but true of our times.

It sounds louder than your average upright.Minimal depth so it fits in small towel closet/cupboard. Bright and bold green color so you don't lose it. Bright yellow cord to prevent trips and falls. Works well on carpets But not so well on hard surfaces as the brush tends to shoot any non-dust particles straight forward. Did I mention that it's very loud?

Loved this vacuum, it picks up great, lightweight, easy to use UNTIL just when its too late to return the cord has a short in it!! So very disappointed!!! Really had thought we had the perfect vaccum cleaner for out buisness and now we have a short in the cord and its only been a month! Not sure what to do now!

I've always used Oreck, but I bought this because it seemed very compatible, but it can't be used as a commercial ever.

Works great, easy to handle, cleans good.

I bought two and first it was just one that broke right away... so I just thought it was defective and I returned/ replaced it and bought another one (3 total). Within ONE WEEK (not even exaggerating) all 3 were broken. It didn’t just break, but they split in half! I didn’t bother getting a replacement again because I realized it was just a poor product and I didn’t want a new one to add to my vacuum cemetery. I own a school and it was just used to vacuum the classrooms nightly—nothing crazy just one vacuum per room. I just can’t believe how terrible they are. Note- they aren’t not commercial grade and if you are doing any kind of vacuuming other than your bedroom - let’s say once a week then just run. Seriously. I doubt they will give me a refund now but I figured I had to let others knows about this mess!!
