Carpet Cleaners Reviews

I bought this vacuum at a local wholesale store today. I brought it home, put it together, and vacuumed for about five minutes until the hose ripped. I'll be returning it this evening. I didn't realize it was made by Euro-Pro, the same people who make the Shark line of products--which I was also disappointed with. The other vacuum didn't have much suction, and wasn't worth the money. Look elsewhere to spend your money, this brand is all Lemon!

I own the fantom falcon for 6 months and the belt has gone bad on the power head. I placed an order for another belt and the fantom company told me it was on back order and it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get a new one sent to me. "WOW" no vacuum for that long, I have wall to wall carpet with a persain cat. I also don't like the way the hepa filter is on the basket it sits right in the middle of where you collect the dirt and that collects most of the cat hair and dirt> I always had to use a air compressor to blow out the dirt every time I used It. Please anyone looking to buy this vacuum that doesn't have a air compressor and has wall to wall carpet better think again.

This is an amazing vac! It sucks... By that I mean it finds anything and everything in your house and eats it up. Animal hair and all... Thats the worse in my opinion. Anyways I LOVE this vac for the suction power! It's great. There's a BUT coming now...

BUT.....
I've so far this year returned this vac for 9 others, and today I'll be exchanging it once again. Now this is 10 vac's in one year (less than, birthday gift in March)

Suction is always there, it's the beater bar that goes on every single one of them. The power to the head just quits! Over and over and over again. It's been the same deal with all 10! It makes for very hard time to clean your house aswell.. I shouldn't have to bring it back 10 times before someone realizes that there is something seriously wrong here.

Thanx Coral
Happy yet frustrated

the rotating brush on my fantom no longer rotates after less than a year of use. The customer service office is closed "until furthur notice" and the e-mail address for customer service cannot be displayed. I bought the fantom for the filter system and because it is lightweight enough to carry upstairs, but its useless now because i cant find a place to get it repaired.

When I bought this vacum, I had real high expectations because of previous Fantoms that I had owned in the past. Fantom has really gone downhill, because this thing is junk. First, it seems to clog up all the time, I am constantly cleaning the filter out. Second the piece that holds the floor attachment broke off when I slightly bumped something! So it must not of been very well put together! Im giving this thing 2 stars, which is being nice... go buy a Hoover!

I am a very picky - some would say almost finicky - housekeeper and I can highly recommend this product. You can vacuum your carpet with your present vacuum and then pick up some much more dirt with the Fantom. The hepa filter feature and bagless system are the best. I wouldn't use any other product. I have one for every floor in my house. THE BEST!!

This was the biggest waste of money
The circuit board that controlled the brush died along with the useless lights in the first year. $50 to replace.
Did they offer warranty replacement - NOPE. Fantom - "No longer supported this model" So I did it myself
If the dust bin is sparkling clean it has good suction, if not
use a broom. I will say that the handle/wand is a great idea but with no suction, no pickup.

This vacuum had wonderful suction at first, but only lasted one year. Now I can only vacuum one room, and then it loses its power because it's overheating. It then starts spitting everything back out. It doesn't pick up anything of any size, such as small playground pebbles. This was a waste of money - I've bought a new vacuum and will just keep this one for the basement.

Just a few words in defense of the Fantom Cyclone XT: I bought mine at Target 4-5 years ago and it's always worked well. It has a few minor quirks which some seem to think make it worthless: The lights don't last long, but they're cheap and easily replaced, and to those who experience shutdown, mine did that for the first time recently. I popped out the small prefilter on the canister top and couldn't see through it, so I ran it under the faucet to rinse out the dust, tapped the water out, and after it cooled down, the vacuum worked like new. Not a big deal. It really is a good vacuum.
