Perfect for the small apartment!
Date of Review: Nov 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you live in a small space and still want a powerful vacuum, this is the way to go!
Why I bought it...
I needed something small and affordable for my apartment. I wanted a quality vacuum for a lower price.
Where I bought it...
I bought online at eBay from a company that sold refurbished Orecks with a 1 year warranty. With shipping and handling, I paid less than $85 for it.
Why I love about it...
I love that it is lightweight and takes up a small spot in my closet.I also love that it WORKS and for such a small machine, has a lot of power.It only weighs about 8 pounds (their promise).It works VERY well on hard-wood floors.The belt is very easy to change.The bag is very easy to change.Parts are cheap to replace.If it stops working, it is easy to take vacuum apart and clean out any clogs it might have.
What I don't like about it...
There are no attachments with it, but this IS how they make it a lightweight machine.
Important Note...
Please note that your vacuum may suddenly lose suction power. I had this happened and looked in the trouble-shooting manual. It instructed me to unplug it and remove the bottom face off. Here I was able to see that it was very clogged and it was easy to remove.Why does this happen when you first buy it? I think the vacuum is so powerful that it is picking up a LOT the first time you go around with it thus causing it to clog up very easily.The good news is that I have never had it clog up since.
