So my husband used the CleanView vacuum more than I did, but we both discussed and agreed on the pros and cons of this product. We noticed right away as we were unpacking it, was that it is a lightweight machine especially compared to many of the newer vacuums out there. It was very easy to assemble and we loved it had spot holders for all of the attachments. The dirt tank is easy to empty and it has a convenient filter placement...bonus that the filter is washable! When we started using it, we both noticed that it looks great, has good suction, but.... it "feels" of a very low quality plastic (probably related to it feeling lightweight) and the motor and components have a very labored sound at all times. Another drawback is that the cord is way too short. Overall, it looks very nice and does pick up lots of dust and dirt, but we were both concerned on how long it will actually last before breaking down.
