Title: Major design flaw...
Review: I bought it in a store without checking Amazon reviews first. As you've probably already read in other reviews here, the exhaust on this vacuum comes out the front. This makes the vacuum practically a useless noise machine on hard floor types. The dirt just gets blown around the room by the exhaust before it can get vacuumed. It's probably not as bad on carpeted floors, but that doesn't help me. I had to "fix" the vacuum with some plastic and duct tape to re-direct the exhaust upwards rather than forwards, and now it works fine. With my addition to the vacuum installed, I might give it 3-4 stars, but out of the box i would give it 1-2 stars.
