Seen a demonstration as a kid. My parents really wanted it, but couldn't afford it at the time. Now as an adult, my husband and I had the chance to purchase one during a demonstration. My husband was skeptical at first because his family owned a vacuum called Rainbow when he was young and they said it was the best. When we saw the FilterQueen, we both agreed it was the best we seen. We bought it almost 2 years ago and we still love it. The service has been great. They always call us for filters and we have had no mechanical problems. Both our parents now actually own Filterqueens after we bought it. They are pricey, but I think they are totally worth it in the long run. We've stopped lending it out to friends because they take forever giving it back. They should get their own. HA HA. I would recommend it to people, especially if you don't like dust flying out of a vacuum.

I had a miserable Kirby and an Oreck before I learned about the Filterqueen. I have wood floors and carpet. The Majestic gets all of the dust up. It requires you to pay attention to what you are doing and the attachments work really well on just about everything (corners, bedding, blinds, car upholstery, lampshades, electronics, etc). I love the fact that I can use it for pretty much anything! Works very well, replacement cones are cheap, and it actually cleans my home without polluting it. I also love the lifetime warranty so if the motor ever breaks, then I can get it fixed with no hassle through Summit Air which is located right here in MN. I also have allergies and this system helps keep my home from becoming unbearable as I also use it as a temporary air purifier. It's expensive but it was well worth the money and I couldn't be happier.

I bought the Filterqueen Vacuum 2 years ago. I long ago decided that regular store bought vacuums were garbage. Over the years we owned a Kirby and a Rainbow (which uses water). They were better than store bought vacuums, but they were no match for the Filterqueen. I love my Filterqueen. It's so much more powerful than the Kirby or Rainbow. It doesn't blow dust, which I love. It's pretty easy to use and it seems to be made of good quality. Good tools as well. I really enjoy cleaning with it weekly. I have not had any problems in two years. My neighbour has had her Filterqueen for much longer (almost 20 years)with no problems. She won't use another vacuum. The service is good and warranty is very good. The price is high, but so are other high end vacuums. The Filterqueen is better and worth it.

I have had Dyson's for years and never thought I would find a better cleaning machine...Amazing cleaning product, picks up the finer dust and pet hair much better..I love it!

My mother bought her Filter Queen in 1973 and used it as her only vacuum cleaner until about 2005. At that time, she decided she needed something lighter, so she gave it to me. She was kind enough to have it serviced to replace the motor brushes and hoses before she gave it to me and I've been using it ever since. With a data set of one, I can't draw conclusions about the longevity of Filter Queen vacuum cleaners in general, but ours has been amazing for 40 years and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, I stumbled across this site while looking for my next batch of filters. If there's a negative, it's that getting genuine filters has been difficult unless I purchase at a local vacuum cleaner store or make a phone call to Filter Queen. I'm taking a chance with Amazon this time. The performance of my Filter Queen is also very impressive. I replaced an admittedly much less expensive Eureka, but the increased cleaning power still exceeded my expectations. If there are better cleaners out there, I can't imagine they would be substantially so. Others note that the Filter Queen is heavy and has a short power cord. Both claims are true. Of course, it rolls so the weight isn't that big of a deal to me. But as I get older, it probably will be an issue just as it became for my mother because there are times I need to carry it up the stairs or outside to empty the canister. I suspect the cord is short by design because the motor undoubtedly draws more current than a less powerful vacuum cleaner.

I bought a used Majestic on Ebay for 300.00. I paid 100.00 for a new Ametek motor and about 40.00 for a new power head motor, so now I basically have a brand new Majestic for about a third of what a new one costs.

New Filter Queens are way overpriced, but there is nothing that cleans as well, and will be as durable in the long run.
