Alright, alright... I know it's reputation and I know most people hate it, but I love it because it is so hated as well as because it's innovative. I picked this one up from Goodwill for $5 and using a parts machine from my local vacuum shop who's owner "Would never sell another one of those pieces of s&*t so get it the f%#k out of my store!", I took two mediocre and made one good one. It works perfectly and actually cleans OK, not great, but pretty good.

Not bad

But certainly not the best, but for $5 you can't beat that.

on the Brush Rolls for this model . The replaceable brush rollers have metal end caps instead of plastic , solved the melting problem.I have two Brand new Turbo Power Top of the line Vacuum Shop models left over from when I owned my store. I love the choice that they included a Bagged container an a bagless container with the vacuum .

Bagged or Bagless

That's interesting. I also just picked up a Bosch upright BUH11700 (I think) and it has a bagless or bagged bin so I can use either or which is cool.

I used to have one until the switch broke. It cleaned very well, though!

I have one in silver, its both, it also works pretty well, Im actually surprised its lasted 3 years lol. When I had the dog Id use it bagless in the spring and fall when she would shed ALOT, and the bag the rest of the year. Im not a fan of bagless at all but i did like having the option of having either or in the same vacuum.

the recalled plastic end cap on the brushroll model,it works well but it's missing the bag cup lid and of course the brushroll end caps have melted :(.

I have some parts from one if you'd like, including the dust bin lid and three good brush rolls.

Bagged/Bagless mode

Neat idea! :) I have the new style Savvy & LOVE the way you can choose to clean bagged or bagless.
