Electrolux Precision® Brushroll Clean Bagless Upright Vacuum, EL8802A

I bought it at Costco, then read the reviews!
I made the mistake of reading the reviews AFTER we came home with the vacuum. Needless to say, we consider boxing it up and returning it. We decided to take the leap of faith and try it out.

I actually vacuumed my two bedroom apartment with this immediately after the Dyson went over it and had to empty it twice. That says a lot. As for hose problems, if you can't get the hose back in without kinks and twists I have to ask if you have trouble operating doorknobs as well. I even looked it over when I...
