Title: Major parts broke after limited use
Review: We bought this vacuum in 2002 based on Consumer Report's recommendation. It has great suction and the self-propeller was a really nice feature... until it broke after very limited use. We spent about $80 to get the propeller repaired, but shortly thereafter the motor started overheating. After less than 10 minutes the vacuum cleaner simply shuts down and we have to wait a long time until it is cooled off before we can resume cleaning.Our vacuum cleaner repair person told us that this vacuum is prone to breaking if you lift it by the handle. You must lift it by the special little handle which is built on the back in the middle. It is not a very convenient way to carry this heavy machine around.We may have gotten a lemon, but we've decided to replace it with another brand.
