This is a lot of vacuum for not much money. What I like most is the ability to turn off the floor roller-brush: it turns off automatically when the vacuum is upright or when a second switch near the carpet height adjustment is pushed. You gain all the advantage of a canister in an upright, which is easier to maneuver. The vacuum strength is very good. The switch for floor or hose (attachments) is conveniently located near waist-height (the big yellow dial on the right). The machine feels solid but it is not heavy. Although it is not as quiet as some (e.g. Electrolux Oxygen), it is not annoyingly noisy, either (I don’t hold conversations or listen to the radio while vacuuming, anyway). The long cord means you are not changing plugs all the time. The clear plastic cover on the roller makes it obvious if the roller-brush is on or off. The HEPA filter means the vented air is very clean. I got a rebuilt, which shipped with minimal packaging (yeah!) and looks fine but is missing the pet-hair/riser attachment (dispensable). Nothing can make vacuuming fun but this makes it not so bad.

I love this product! I’ve had other vacuum cleaners by other makers and this is by far the best. It leaves my carpet looking new everytime I use it. My 17 year old son used it and was very impressed. I’ve read about the difficulties with the little yellow switch to change from carpet to floor so it wasn’t a big surprise when the time came to use it. The only negative thing is that the machine is heavy and I have a hard time carrying it up and down the stairs. But over all, it’s a great buy.
We bought this because of a problem with dust mites. It took care of that problem easily, but the bonus was that our carpets look brand new! We have 2 cats, (one long hair), so carpets were always a battle. So it’s a hit on 2 levels. We read about the difficulty moving the latch from carpet to bare floor, but followed the advice of another review. While rough, it definitely moves, and isn’t that difficult. Great product for the money.
This is a great vacuum! Very powerful suction. I think it’s already picked up more dirt than our old one did in the whole time we had it.
I’ve had the vac for about a month now and love it. It is heavy but, the power is worth the weight. Easy to switch between floor and carpet, easy storage for the accessories and great pick up power.
I have researched extensively for weeks while I was pregnant, looking for a new vacuum. After making my decision to purchase the maroon 4870GZ, I wanted to find it at a store where hopefully I could try it first. I couldn’t find it anywhere. I was only finding the red and silver 4870MZ. I decided to order the GZ model anyway and received the red and silver 4870MZ! I asked my husband to look into why I got the wrong vacuum, and eventually found that it really is the same one, just new colors. This has never been mentioned anywhere. I do have to say that we love this vacuum! It has very powerful suction even when the bag is full. The motor is also very quiet, which is a bonus with our newborn. The attachments are user friendly and the hose can reach pretty far. It has a very long electrical cord making it convenient to vacuum for longer periods without stopping. The vacuum is easy to push and pull on carpet. It also works great on my tiled kitchen floor. The only thing negative is that the foot release is a little awkward at first, but no big deal. I have always went for the expensive vacuums in the past, but this vacuum is by far the best vacuum I have owned.
