I don’t usually write long reviews but this vacuum is THE BEST VACUUM I have purchased in a long time. I have the worst shedding dog in history. I have been through many vacuums. The Fantom fury, Bissel, Dirt devil, and most recently the animal Dyson. Out of those the fantom worked the best, but I had too difficult a time with repairs. I am very hard on my vacuums, with animal hair and small toys.

I didn’t think this vacuum would be great. I had a gift card and a recommendation from a friend and tried it as a spare vacuum to keep in the basement. This vacuum is amazing! First, it got up so much dog hair even right after I vacuumed with the very expensive dyson (which is not worth the money, nor do I think it vacuums all that well.)

It is very light weight and easy to move around. There are no fancy bells and whistles. I even don’t mind changing the bags as it is much less messy than the bagless vacuums I have owned, plus I think this helps with the suction power. The only accessory I may get is the extension hose so I can do my stairs.

Do not hesitate to purchase this vacuum. You will not be disappointed. It is hands down the best vacuum I have owned.

Great bike. This bike was the only one that had everything I wanted (dual suspension, dual disk brakes, Shimano EZ shifters) and was under $350.00. I looked at other review, and people were comparing Mongoose Status 26-Inch Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike with $1000’s bikes… That’s not even close to fair.

Anyway, if you want a bike that has really good parts, a good setup, and cheap, this is your bike. So far, I put a few miles on it and it is really awesome. Suspension, brakes, tires, weight, everything is better than I expected based on the price. A good exercise: compare it with those $300-$350 bikes you see at Sports stores and you’ll realize how better this bike is.

Only one con: despite the easy assembly, the front derailer came totally out of alignment. I worked it a bit (I’m no expert), but I will probably spend some $ in servicing it.

2nd review (06/01/09): there’s a slight change from the bike you see in the picture and the one I received. The holes in the frame where is installed the bottle support face down. This is a problem, since once you have it with a bottle and the front suspension goes down a 1 inch the front tire hits the bottle. Not the end of the world, but I would change my review to 4 1/2 starts if possible.

Good value. My 7 year old son loves the bike. Postives: the 20″ wheels are a good fit for him, the mountain bike style is much to be desired by my son, frame is solid, set up was 15 minutes, attractive colors, great price, chain guard so the kids pants to get ripped up in the gear. Negatives: hand brakes are a little difficult for my son to get a good grip on (he’ll grow into Pacific Evolution Boys Mountain Bike , gears are a little cheap. Gear 5 & 6 rub the chain against the tire. Good value when you look at what the bike has to offer vs. the price.
