I like the vacuum. It is light enough and yet it is powerful enough. The only problem is the belt broke after just 1 month of use. I hope this doesn’t continue.

Artemis Fowl
Eoin Colfer

The main character is Artemis Fowl 12-year-old boy is a cunning evil crook mastermind that won’t stop until he gets his hands on fairy gold. Another character is Captain Holly Short who is a magical elf on LEPrecon and has no time to “refuel” her magic so her magic is very weak.

The plan for Artemis is that he will take a fairy hostage for large sums of fairy gold! He is doing this evil mastermind scheme so that he can restore the Fowl’s family reputation and fortune.

The setting of the story takes place at a lot of different locations but mostly and the Fowl mansion and it goes on for a long 10 days.

The theme of this story I would say is probably thinking one step a head of your “opponent”.

I liked the story because you could never put the book down. It always kept you guess on what would the next step be for the LEPrecon force and how would Artemis react.

We bought this vac two years ago, primarily based upon the Consumer Report review at the time. We needed a vac at a second location and didn’t want to cart our cannister vac back and forth from home.

I must start off by saying the noise is deafening. My wife says I have a hearing issue (OK, I do) but I can surely hear this machine running! Sounds like a jet taking off . . . no, several jets.

I could live with the noise but the real problem is that it really sucks. No, I mean that in a purely vac sense. I don’t know why other purchasers have said there’s no suction with this unit. Ours will almost lift the wood flooring up! On carpets, even with the setting at the highest level away from the floor underneath, the unit will pull itself down (on installed carpeting) or pull the carpet up (for throw-rugs) to essentially stop the brushes and create a firm grasp on what’s below. You will need to either shut off the unit or try and lever the head section up to free it from the carpet.

As cited by others, the hose is exceptionally short and you will have some difficulty in reaching things you want to vac with the limited attachments included.

Well, hope this helps in your decision. As I said, ours is two years old and we do have the headlight and the bag-fill indicator. No big deal with either in my opinion.
