The box should say this vacuum is disposable and has a life expectancy of 2 years. That’s $100 a year. A bit expensive if you ask me. Didn’t vacuum anything but hard floors, in a small, one bedroom apartment, and mostly with the hose attachment to chase those tumble-weeds of cat hair that tend to get all over. This, I did a couple of times a week and All seemed ok. Then I guess I reached the 2 year mark. Both plastic tabs that plastic clips secure to, so as to keep the canister, contents and suction sealed, and are only released to empty the canister or clean the filter, (which I did once every two weeks), broke within 10 days of each other. Now the canister is just sitting on the filter, no seal, so goodbye suction and everything else. While shopping for a replacement, I duct-taped the canister to the base in the hopes of at least being able to pick up some of the bigger bundles of cat hair floating around. Apparently I can get a replacement canister for around $60, but if this company can’t figure out how to make a small plastic clip that won’t just break off, there is no way I’m spending another penny EVER on this brand. This was not a cheap vacuum, I don’t own a huge house with a combination rug/hard floor, yet this couldn’t handle a one bedroom apartment, where all it seal with was maybe some dust and cat hair. Maybe this is a way the company can keep making money off of you. Make you buy a canister every 2 years. Save your money by investing in another brand! Even if a bit more expensive, it’ll be worth it in the long run.
