Anybody try one of these? It seems to be a good thing but before I spend the money I was wondering if anybody tried them. Thanks for the info.

I smoked one, and it had a very difficult burn. I must have had to relight it like a hundred times. It had a plastic and metallic taste with notes of vacuum cleaner....

Sorry, I've got a Dyson, and I have to tell you, it's expensive, but worth every penny, the best vacuum I've ever had.

We have five kids and a small hobby kennel with six dogs. Our Dyson, while not cheap, has been hands down one of the best purchases in recent years. It is simply amazing. Worth every penny we paid.

I don't like Dyson or Oreck. They're plastic and break too easily. Sorry, folks.

I'm a Kirby gal, myself. Okay, I have an old school Classic which is older than me and works really well.

We have a G5 at work. They are really heavy duty and self propelled. Any vacuum that you can put in neutral and reverse is awesome.

I thought so to before I got it. however the only problem we have ever had was when my daughter tried to get it out of the closet and broke the plastic joining piece between the handles. 14 bucks good as new. It has been well abused and still works like new. O yea I did replace the intake fan when it was about 5 years old the old ones where plastic the new one is pot metal.
