Finally, I have a solid replacement for my old machine. Yes, it is a bit noisy but the suction is powerful and the results are great. The handle is helpful so I can carry the machine in one hand while vacuuming the stairs with the other hand, Highly recommended.

Brought this to replace my failing Miele. Reviews said it was great so with a house full of children and dogs, away I went and ordered. Sure it sucks, worried it was going to pull my carpet up, cord is very long, BUT the turbo head sounds desperately broken after just one use and the normal head is no good for pet hair because it is so darn stuck to the floor it just pushes the dog hair further into the carpet as it goes over it. There's no middle ground. My kids now run a mile if I get it out based on the noise the turbo head makes. Legit would rather stand outside in the rain than be inside anywhere while I vacuum, it's that deafening.

I've had the Electrolux Powerforce Classic for 10 years now and love it! So much so, that when my husband used it to vacuum up asbestos,I told him he has to buy me a new vacuum! And of course I got the same one, but the upgraded Powerforce dust and gone as I don't think they sell the classic anymore. This vacuum, like my old one is the best vacuum I have ever used. The suction is brilliant and all the different attactments is perfect for different areas of the house, from carpet to lino to hardwood floors and excellent for pet hair. I've recommended my vacuum cleaner to so many others and would by it again in a heart beat.
