Cheap Sanitaire by Electcrolux S782AT Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner (Sanitaire 782, Sanitaire S 782 AT) Review

I bought this vacuum after reading the many positive reviews. I was looking for a lightweight vacuum that could easily and quickly work on several different floor types, rugs, and carpets, and this vacuum does the job well, for the most part. On first use I was concerned when it didn't move, in the carpet mode, on my large (12x15 feet) area rugs; it seemed to stick to the rug. But after a few hard pushes, it then started rolling correctly. Perhaps the roller brushes needed a little loosening to get going.

Pros: Extremely easy to go from hardwood surface to rugs/carpets with just a switch of the button. Everything needed to clean with is on board, accessible, and easy to switch to. The fold down handle makes it manageable to carry from area to another. The bonus extension hose allows for more flexibility for getting to hard to reach areas. Did a fantastic job on area rugs that my other three types of vacuums haven't been able to clean as well.

Cons: Has a high-pitched sound that is somewhat annoying. I noticed that in the floor mode, the vacuum tends to blow dust bunnies away from the vacuum unless I move the vacuum slowly. The floor mode does not do a very good job of picking up the fine dust that clings to hardwood, so I still need to use a vacuum with longer wands and floor brush to remove the fine dust. Speaking of brush attachments, the one that comes with the vacuum is somewhat small with very short stiff bristles. However, I found that some of the brushes from my other vacuums fit snugly on to the crevice part of the wand, so I'm able to use what I consider better brushes than the one included with this vacuum.

Having owned many types of vacuums, I think this is the most versatile and useful vacuum I've yet found. It is reasonably priced and hopefully will last a while. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a vacuum to be used on variable surfaces.

One caution about ordering this vacuum: the vendor ships it with the original cardboard carton as the shipping container. The carton is not sturdy enough for shipping, and I received a carton with several dents and major rips in the carton. Fortunately, there was no damage to the vacuum, but the vendor really should be enclosing the vacuum and carton within a sturdier shipper.
