I finally got around to taking pictures of this thing. I like it I just wish it was quieter.

I agree about how loud it is. When I brought it home and turned it on the first time I thought the tornado sirens were going off. I returned it to Walmart the next day. I like the thought but it is way, way too loud

This looks like a nice vacuum, and I reckon it would do well over here in the UK and the rest of Europe due to its size and versatility. The powered mini turbo brush is a good idea.

But you mention the noise, when I had a Morphy Richard NLS, a rebranded Shark navigator lift away, the most annoying noise was the powerhead. Such a high pitched whine !

The Shark's motor is much closer due to its hand held design. The motor is extremely small so it has to run very, very fast. Producing the most awful noise you've ever heard. Add the sound of the power nozzle (not nearly as bad) and it's a SCREAMER.

Hmm, I see what you mean. Trial and error after all :3

 

[marcusprit]

Is that why its called a rocket cause in makes the noise of one?

Hahah, that is a good one Mark !

My neighbor has one.

They have it to suppliment their Simplicity Freedom and Sanitaire "mighty-mite." It cleans well, but it's LOUD and the filters get dirty very quickly.
