Embeded dirt finder is the coolest thing ever in a vacuum,
We bought this vacuum based on the good reviews but I just had to write another one after using it. When I started using the vacuum I thought the “embeded dirtfinder technology” was the biggest gimmick there was. After using the vacuum for a few minutes I realized that it actually works. There two lights (one red and one green) on the lower left corner of the vacuum and they switch from red to green when the carpet is actually clean. I thought to myself “yeah right” but when using it, the light stayed red for a long time in high traffic areas of my house but in the spare bedroom where no one ever walks it was green almost right away. I really worked harder on those high traffic areas to get that solid green light and I really feel like my carpet is clean now. Give it a try – it makes vacuuming much more entertaining.

|Great Vacuum for the Price,
Shopped for a replacement for my ancient Hoover Self-propelled vacuum
This one has a number of great features I was looking for:
Easy to carry; It has handholds at the top and the bottom of the handle that make it easy to carry from room to room, as well as helping to vacuum stairs
Easy to use tools: The tools are stored at the top, and the access door flips down and away from you, allowing easy access. The hose is short, but allows me to easily snap on an attachment for cleaning off the furniture, and carpet edges. A longer hose is available as an option. I have not tried it.
Good suction thru the hose and at the powerhead.
Effective cleaning; the dirt finder light does seem to work. It stays red until is senses no particles are being pulled up.
Light weight; at least 5 lbs lighter than the self propelled version. Much easier to carry up and down the steps.
Simpler construction should last much longer than the self-propelled mechanism, too.
Easy assembly; took a whole 5 minutes.
Noise; not the quietest, but not as loud as my old Hoover
Bagged; I tried a bagless unit once… what a mess every time you have to dump the dust can. This one comes with a hepa material replaceable bag. Fill it up, dump the whole thing. No muss, no fuss…
All said, a great unit for a great price.
