So, I've had my eye on one of these for a while now... (Joe has, too... and wanted a different vacuum for his new apartment. He also loves green.)

I finally decided to grab one while at Target the other night...

Here's Joe opening the box.

I love it when he gets excited about a vacuum! :)

Overall verdict....

Nice little machine. Kinda noisey, but very powerful.

Being able to shut the brushroll off is a very nice feature, as is the "dial" (think Dial-A-Matic) to divert suction to the hose, and the telescopic handle. The brushroll is pretty wimpy, and would do best on low-pile carpet. Bagless isn't my thing, but this one is pretty easy to empty.

Anyone else have one of these?

You and Joe will like that Optima. Victor and I each have one and they are very handy. They are perfect for quick clean ups and I too like that you can turn off the brushroll when using the hose. Have fun with it! Marty

I did try one, and I was admittedly impressed! As far as bagless go, its one of the easier ones to maintain, and for such a small machine, it did have good suction!

I purchased the the gray colored model for a friend and she like it as well. It is the one with the fold down handle, basically the same machine.

I also have the bagged version from Sanitair and love it. It is my daily driver along with my Purple Airway.

Sounds like you've lost a vacuum cleaner. I had a girlfriend who 'borrowed' a Kirby Heritage from me in 2014 and almost immediately threw her Oreck in the trash. I never did get my Kirby back.

Either you need to change your vacuum bag or you forgot to LOG-IN?
