It does its job well and the dust is not flying around when you're vacuuming or emptying the canister. It does smell bad afterwards-I guess it just depends on how dirty your house is and how often you vacuum, so change the water often before and after using it, which can be a little bit cumbersome but well worth it. I would give this 5 stars but the downside is that it is a bit loud so I have to wear earplugs and I wouldn't let my toddler or any young children be around when I'm using it because of that.

This product does a lot. This is not a carpet shampooer, so please be aware of that before you purchase. It is a vacuum, a sweeper, and a water extractor. Personally, I have found this to be one of the best buys I have made. The suction is really good, and the flexibility from going from carpet to bare floor is great. You don't have to change the attachment unless you want. The only downside, which I consider minor, is you have to dump the water and it's a cumbersome task if you are cleaning a lot of rooms. Warning-the water does not smell good once you are finished. However, when you see the amount of hair and dirt lifted, it's well worth the price. The added feature of having no exhaust coming from the cleaner itself is an extra added bonus which I really loved. There is nothing more annoying than having a vacuum blow dirt back out when you are trying to vacuum. Another review said the attachments were cheaply made. I disagree. I have used this a lot since my purchase and never had a problem.

This machine all and all it does what it says it does. I love the fact that I don't have to deal with filters and left over dust in the air. The attachments are not that bad, they seem to do their job. Also the power that this machine has cleans a room in minutes. I think for what you are getting, its great bargain.

This is by far the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. First of all we have pets and the hair gets all tangled up in between the two rollers everytime I use it. Then I have to get scissors to cut it out. Also the bag for this vacuum is bigger than the canister it fits in. Therefore the bag fills very very fast. When you pull the bag out of the canister to throw it away there is plenty of room left in the bag. So the canister will only allow it to fill to its canister size. There goes $200. down the drain. I would not recommend this product to anyone!

I bought this vacuum cleaner as it was advertised as beltless.. This was really neat as long as the warranty lasted.. Two months after my warranty( 1 year) expired, the brushes stopped spinning. I took it in for repair.. and the bill :-
1)$70 for a gearbox ( the wonderful technology behind beltless)
2)$40 for labor....
Total without taxes :- $110.. Isn't that wonderful!!!

So, in short, this is a great vacuum till it breaks down.

I have to say this is a pretty good vacuum, and I would watch out what reviews you read on this web-site. Some of them are good, but some of them are not about this particular vacuum. For instance there is one that says it doesn't have a dirt indicator light, and it does. There is one that says they have had it a year, but from what I understand it is a fairly new vacuum. Sears has only carried it for around a month, and consumer reports don't even have it listed yet. Here are some of the things that I have noticed, and I have had it about a month, but I vacuum every day.
Cons:
There is a greasy residue on the compartments when you pull them out, but you can easily clean it off with a wet towel
You have to watch out that you don't let the filter when you are using the bagless canister that it isn't totally covered in between the two halves. If it gets totally covered, even if the canister doesn't have much in it, it will overheat.
When we tried to use the bag canister we found out that it wasn't sealed against the vacuum properly, but we took it back to the store and got a replacement.

Pros:
It has great suction. We have a lot of pet hair because we have two inside Husky's (we live in Texas so its hot outside.) and a cat. It gets up a ton of hair. We vacuum every day and you would not believe how much it picks up. Our old vacuum didn't get up near that much. You have to make sure to keep the filter clean though so the suction stays constant.
The attachments are easily accessible and they clean our furniture wonderfully.
It has an indicator to tell you when the carpet is clean. (This really helps if you every have your husband help you vacuum! That way he knows it's clean!)
My husband and I both have bad allergies and it filters a lot of stuff out with the filters.

I would recommend this vacuum to anyone that doesn't want to spend a ton of money for a really expensive vacuum, and not just a cheap vacuum. This is a good middle type vacuum, and a great buy for the features, and the performance.
