Change sometimes is not better
After using this for several months, I felt compelled to sit done right now and write a review. I have owned the original model for 30 years and was quite happy with its performance, only minor parts needed replacement -- belt in carpet motor and worn out hardwood floor brush. When motor failed completely my husband said it was time for a new one... But -- 1. while it is nice to have the on/off switch at the handle instead of pulling hose from wall, the switches are right where handle is and I'm constantly turning it off while trying to grip the giant handle and push to vacuum; 2. The dust brush is useless, bristles are non-existent, it's in the trash and I'm using my 30year old one; 3. The "tool bag" is a joke, it also is in the trash and am using a bucket; 4. You cannot vacuum underneath furniture with carpet cleaner, because when you lower wand to the floor and try to clean under sofa, chair, table, etc. the attachment ring scrapes on the carpet/floor and stops you from pushing...
Exactly what I expected
Works great, with protective sleve it slides easily across the floor. Note you may need an extension cord if you don't have an outlet within 6' of the vacuum plug
Nutone could have done much better.
Power head works well. But, the lights aim too high and they are not shielded from the top, making them distracting.
The storage bag is useless.
The hose works, but is very flimsy and I do not expect it to last very long. In fact my first order arrived with a damaged hose that had to be returned.
The wands are very good. The other tools are OK.
