Title: Built to bust
Product review: The self cleaning HEPA filter motor is built to break after a period of time. I just spent the past two hours cleaning out the entire vacuum and decided to fix the filter as well. The motor for the filter still spins, but the filter does not. The reason it doesn't is because they made the motor-to-filter connector with some strategically placed holes that make the plastic break over time. Once the plastic breaks, it is no longer able to grip the filter to turn it. I am breaking it inwards and filling it with expanding glue to fix this (this should do the trick). I would be surprised if the self-cleaning worked more than a year on this model.It was also very messy cleaning, and took 25 screws to get it out (which is important if you plan on replacing the filter)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
