Title: Piece of Junk
Product review: I used this for 10 minutes and was impressed that it was sucking up so much. The Owner's Guide isn't that useful so I struggled to get the brush to work on the carpet (you have to switch a toggle back and forth). Finally I did and it worked well. Then I sucked up the fringe of a rug by mistake. I do that sometimes with my other two vacuums, and I just turn them off and it's not big deal. But with the Eureka I IMMEDIATELY smelled burning rubber! Horrified, I quickly turned it off. I turned it back on and the roller brush wouldn't turn. Long story short, I unscrewed the bottom and realized 1) the roller was not new (lots of scaring) and 2) the BELT was broken! It just arrived today! You have to be kidding me - now I need to take it in, or return it. I'm am very upset about this. Also, this vacuum is VERY HEAVY!! Not worth it if you have a house with wood floors and area rugs -- too much switching between settings.
