Title: Onboard tools - do you use them?
Review: My review largely echoes the reviews of those who've had the vacuum for over a year. I give this vacuum 2 stars for suction power. I'm prompted to submit a review only to highlight what, as a long term owner of this vacuum, I feel is the most annoying long term drawback of this machine: the hose for using the onboard tools is WAY too short. The vacuum is quite heavy. This combination causes it to fall over almost every time you use the tools. If you need to clean ANYTHING other than your floor you will be *frustrated* (and possibly injured - think heavy vacuum handle on body part containing nerves - it's happened often). Even with all of the other problems I've experienced (and they have been numerous) I would buy this vacuum again if it weren't for this lousy hose design. I would recommend that anyone considering purchasing this vacuum give serious consideration to how often they may need to use the onboard tools.
Is the review positive or negative?
