Quite possibly the BEST vacuum!
I bought this vacuum to replace my Dyson "Animal" upright. That was a great vacuum as well but became increasingly harder to push and I couldn't get into corners or under furniture with it. I have never owned a canister before but thought it might be easier on my back. After much research and consideration I went ahead and bought the UniQ. I LOVE it!!! It is extremely powerful - at least as much so as my Dyson - and is so much easier to handle. And QUIET! The "wand" is telescoping so I can stand up straight which is a huge help on my back. The power head attachment is very powerful and easy to maneuver. It also lays flat to get under furniture. The lights on the front are very bright and help you too see what needs to be cleaned. The power cord automatically recoils which, again, saves my back. This is a pricey vacuum but so worth it. It seems to be extremely well made and I am expecting many, many years of use. I don't like having to change the bags but it's a small...
Expensive, and worth it. . . .
Pros
* I have owned previous "true HEPA" vacuum cleaners but noticed a critical difference with this unit: My allergies went away. Totally.
* Perfect, 0 ppm, lab-grade filtration.
* Superb materials, build quality, and fit-n-finish.
* Velvet bumper protects woodwork and furniture, while the swivel wheels prevent contact in the first place.
* Rigid, positive locking, stainless steel wand.
* Paced, one-touch cord retract mechanism is superior to any I have ever experienced.
* Light base unit encourages me to just carry it when doing stairs.
* Unusually quiet electric carpet head.
* Perfectly flat profile allows cleaning under almost any furniture, no matter how close to the floor.
* Handle-mounted controls.
* Very light, uncrushable hose with swivels on both ends.
* Classy, real metal satin-finished trim on the base unit.
* Attachments, wand, and hose are oversized (although this is hard to perceive). The result...
Fancy features but lacks performance when the going gets tough
Pros: Quiet: It is amazingly quiet. The motor produces lots of suction and the filtration system is awesome. Quality of handle is excellent.
Important considerations: Price @ $1500 I expected unmatched performance, reliability and a company that provides excellent support.
Cons: The powerhead made noise out of the box. After about 5 uses, it was clearly defective. I called the company, which has no support on the weekend or after normal business hours, and spoke to Jim in New Jersey. His first task was to lecture me for purchasing on Amazon. He was unfamiliar with the powerhead on the model. (First, he said I didn't have the proper head and when I informed him that only one head comes with it his response was "oh yeah... You got the big boy" I asked for a head replacement and exchange he refused then he lamented over the price saying "that's a $300 head"
My response was "exactly" I then informed Jim of the extended warranty and all I wanted was to have the...
