Rating: 2

Time with product: 10 Months

Strengths: Has good suction.

Weaknesses: Bag too small and too expensive.

Summary: Pleas do not buy this vacuum. There is a small circuit board (called sumo board) located under the top of the vacuum that goes bad. It usually takes weeks to get the vacuum fixed because the circuit board has to be ordered. If not under warranty,it would be very expensive to repair.Mine went out after about ten months and I had to send it back to the factory.It took almost three months before I got my vacuum cleaner back. Do yourself a favor and buy a real vacuum cleaner.

Strengths: Quiet, clean, with good airflow

Weaknesses: Light turns off when powerhead is turned off. Small 2 quart dust bag.

Summary: This vacuum is quiet but has great airflow for sucking up all sorts of dirt. It's pricier than many department store vacuums, but a lot less than the luxury vacuums. Be sure to get the EL7020B, not the EL7020A model. The powerheads are different on the two models. The older EL7020A comes with a noisy powerhead that only tilts to the right and is difficult to maneuver. The newer powerhead on the EL7020B is more quiet and rotates in both directions in a way that makes steering the powerhead much easier.
