“I love this vacuum.”
I have two pets, so I vacuum a lot. Mostly bare floors with some area rugs thrown in. I use the attachments every time I vacuum, although I think they could be better. The wand is poorly designed because; 1) it doesn't lock onto the hose, and 2) the wand keeps collapsing into itself. A dab of duct tape fixed the collapsing, but now it's always long.
Now for the pros; it is very powerful. I love going back to a bag system, I found the cups a pain to empty outside in the winter, I live in the North East. It picks up very fine dust and pet hair like nothing else I've ever used. The cord is long enough to only have to swap outlets once while doing the first floor of my house. I am buying one for my son as a house warming present. I bought this vac because of the Best Buy rating of that magazine and I've never regretted it.
