Title: Plastic handle broke!
Review: Decent vacuum, however, why make the handle (a load bearing member) out of plastic?!? Snapped off in my hand, making the vacuum pretty much unusable.Pros: versatile (hose is attached and quick to use, all attachments fit on the vacuum), good suction, easy to use.Cons: as others have mentioned - cumbersome/bulky/heavy. You must keep an eye out and replace bag frequently, otherwise a full bag will break/overload the circuit board (I had that replaced under warranty, luckily). However, its biggest weakness is a PLASTIC handle. I've owned this vacuum about 3 years, and the handle broke in my hand when lifting. On inspection, I noticed the only metal is a screw which holds the handle together, the rest is all plastic - unacceptable for any piece of equipment one expects to own more than a few years. End result - off to Goodwill with this vacuum. Hoover has lost my business forever, I'd rather purchase a used Kirby off of eBay than continue with this piece of junk.
