Pros

  • I love mine and it’s about eight years old.
  • I have one has been great on hardwood and area rugs, 12 yrs old now
  • Not a bad cleaner, especially for that price. You could do a lot worse. It gets extra points for having the turbo head.
  • Honestly they're not terrible machines. As far as straight suction canisters go they're perfectly usable. They also have a pretty nifty feature where it flips back up if you roll it over by mistake. For such a cheap price it's no it to...
  • OP Costco has the Dyson Ball around it $250 right now. And you get that sweet Costco return policy.

Cons

  • the Dyson Ball the last owners left with the house was marginally better, but also stinky, and emptying the can released a plume of dust which made vacuuming dust feel futile. i deep cleaned it a few times and it was still underpowered a...
  • I forgot to mention that I also have a Dyson Ball which is so heavy and I hate so much.
  • Parent context: I love mine and it’s about eight years old. Reply: Parts aren’t hard to come By just getting expensive
  • It has pretty good suction, but once it gets past being a couple years old the performance drops. It's also pretty maintenance forward where you are constantly having to clean the filters, brush roll, and the dirt cup nearly every use. A...
  • IMO It's not worth it in the long run as repair components are hard to come by. But for something that is cheap and you don't care about throwing away a couple years from now, sure it'll work.

It has pretty good suction, but once it gets past being a couple years old the performance drops. It's also pretty maintenance forward where you are constantly having to clean the filters, brush roll, and the dirt cup nearly every use. As the other comments said repair parts are hard to get. Other than that, good machine for that price
