Title: Good Suction but awkward and clunky
Product review: I bought this vacuum because of the rating it got in Consumer Reports. After having a Panasonic for the past 20 years, I found this vacuum to be awkard and clunky. The handle is too short, the release lever takes the force of a sledge hammer to activate. It vacuums carpets nicely but is hard to handle. Using tools is an altogether different matter. Using tools is a nightmare. The hose is too short and it is not worth the effort. To be honest, I took this vacuum back to the store for all the reasons noted above. I don't know who is doing the ratings at Consumer Reports lately, but that orginization has lost credibility with me because of the vacuum ratings of late.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
