Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I hate vacuuming. Really hate it. But I think this product will help me at least put up with it. It arrived today, and I have to say I am impressed with how thoroughly it cleans. Fluff and dog hairs that our Dyson failed to lift off carpets were gone in one sweep. After only 2 rooms, the bag is almost full (yuck!).
How did we end up with this vacuum cleaner? We moved to the US from the UK 3 years ago. In the UK, we had a Henry vacuum, which was fantastic. But US voltage differs from UK voltage, so we had to leave our Henry behind. When we arrived in the small US town we now live in, our local store offered us a very limited range of vacuums, so we bought a Dyson. It was a brand we recognized, and had a good reputation. How I regretted it. It never cleaned carpet well, and as it aged, it seemed to get worse. A week ago, after resorting (for the N-th time) to using the unadorned end of the hose -- without any kind of head or brush -- to try to lift off the black bits left by my other half's socks, I snapped. The Dyson was forthwith banished to the garage. To cut a long story short, I selected this make of vacuum cleaner based on the reviews here on Amazon, and on other consumer sites.
It shipped from a partner site, and arrived 2 days after I ordered it. It was very simple to assemble (just one screw to tighten, otherwise things clicking together), and I was using it within 20 minutes of opening the box. It seems very straightforward to use.
Things I particularly like:
* The power head. There are 4 settings, for different types of carpet. You can tell if it needs moving to a different setting because an amber light comes on (if the setting is OK, there is a green light)
* The variable speed of suction. Rather than a simple on/off switch, there is a slider that goes from off to top speed via a range of other speeds. Very useful if you want to vacuum something more delicate like an old rug.
* The swivel head and handle. These make it very easy to slide the head under furniture and into corners.
Things I will have to get used to:
* The weight. It's heavier than I am accustomed to.
* Changing the head for wood floors. The Dyson had a multi-functional head (which was probably why it was so useless on carpet).
Things I think could be improved, given the price:
* It should ship with at least a few spare bags.
* There is no dust brush included. This is one of the most useful accessories a vacuum cleaner can have (particularly this one, with its ability to finely control the amount of "suck"). In this price bracket, a dust brush should be standard
* Before I bought this, I hadn't registered the difference between the Felix Fun/Classic and the Ice Blue. I thought it was just the color. But looking at the users manual, it appears that the Ice Blue has a 15" head, whereas the Fun and Classic have a 12" head. It turns out that a 12" head is fine for me, given the arrangement of my furniture (some tight spots), but given the amount of carpet I have, I may well have bought the 15" head Ice Blue version had I realized.
All in all, so far I am very pleased with the product, despite the above shortcomings.
