Good Points

Very strong suction for the first two years. Could clean cobwebs easily.


Bad Points

After a year, the Lifetime HEPA filter started to smell like old dog even though we cleaned the pre filter weekly. Lost suction, engine blows up after 3 years of use.


General Comments

We cleaned the pre filter at least once a week. After trying this the vacuum still reaked so we tried taking all of the removable parts off of the vacuum and taking apart the dustbin and we blew everything out with our air compressor. The last two years we have had to blow the whole machine out every week and still the suction was going down and the vacuum still stunk. Over time the little rubber seals that are on all of the plastic parts start to wear out and they make the vacuum lose suction. It also was never very good at grooming the carpets the brush roll was chintzy. Eventually I broke open the vacuum and took out the stinky HEPA filter I ran it to see what would happen. It smelled a whole lot better but still didn't have the suction that it did when it was new. So I have been sweeping with only the pre filter in and shopping for a new vacuum because I was no longer pleased with it's performance. Well today the motor burned up. Overall if you have children or pets expect this vacuum to work like it does out of the box at a maximum of 2 years and consider the price.

    I am having the same problem but without the smell. The lid that covers the hepa filter keeps blowing off to which I think the hepa filter gets clogged up eventually and pushes the filter against the lid. I was very impressed about this vacuum when new but now think I waisted my money.
