My dad's girlfriend owns this vacuum. Today, I went to her house to do some cleaning, and I got to use it. Mind you, she has 3 big dogs and uses this vacuum to clean up after them, so it smells.

Prior to using this machine, I did an inspection and found that it was in pretty rough shape. The upper part of the dirt cup was completely clogged, so I had to twist and remove the air separator to get all the debris out.

In addition, the filters were clogged, so I had to bang and shake them out over a big trash can.

With everything cleaned off, I set to work. Although it's a cheap, plastic vacuum, it cleans surprisingly well! It got up a lot of dirt from an entry mat. The attachment suction is very good, but the hose is somewhat stiff and doesn't stretch.

Does anybody else own one of these? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

My gramma does, she took my with her vacuum shopping ( I begged her ) and we chose this vac, to me it's a big hunk of plastic that will last a couple years. I'm not a big fan of it, I liked her Kenmore Progressive that this replaced a lot better, the good thing is the kenmore is in my collection. So it's in good hands.

I used this vacuum a few more times over the past week, and noticed that the filters get dirty quickly. The top foam filter got filthy after about 3 uses. I am uploading a couple of pics, one of the filter and another of the filter housing and cover. So this vacuum doesn't have true cyclonic technology, despite the name.
