I don't normally take the time to write reviews, but this product has TOTALLY changed my life!!!!!!! I started my research with much more expensive units, both corded and cordless. I was floored when I came across this unit because of the price. It is probably the BEST and LEAST EXPENSIVE purchase you could ever make!!!!!!! What used to be a chore for me, is now a joy! I have a lot of ceramic tile in my house. I used to dread dragging out the upright vacuum cleaner, plugging in the hose and floor head, and dragging the upright behind me every step of the way. I received my Eureka 166DX today. I put it together in less than five minutes and had all the tile vaccumed in the next ten!!!!!!! I WAS AMAZED!!!!!!! It was actually FUN to get my tile clean!!!!!!! Like a couple of the other reviews mentioned, the biggest problem is the 15' cord. Like another review mentioned: JUST ADD AN EXTENSION CORD!!!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!! The other problem that was sometimes mentioned was making a mess when emptying the dust container. Just do it inside a plastic bag, tie the bag, and throw it in the garbage!!!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!! Since I have allergies, I even went as far as rinsing the filter after I removed all the lint/dust. I just popped it back in the unit when it was completely dry. The unit is now ready for my next fun job!!!!!!!! The other perks I like about this unit are that it has a crevice tool and it converts to a CORDED hand-held vac. I have had a number of cordless hand-helds, none of which are still around because the batteries stopped holding a charge, and the batteries were more expensive than the unit itself. My new hand-held vac will NEVER run out of juice and it does a wonderful job on upholstery (yes, I tried that too)!!!!!!! In conclusion, this unit is a winner; the best "electric broom" you could ever buy!!!!!!!!!
