The Fantom Upright vac is the one of the best investments I have ever made in an appliance! I have been using the Fantom for about 6 months now and I am still amazed at how well it works. The dual cyclonic action combined with the 12 amp moter means...
Pros: Lightweight, designed to sit securely on stairs, compact, retractable cord Cons: Power head too light for deep cleaning, not good on pet hair, Small Powerhead breaks
Overview After owning TWO Fantom Thunder upright vacuums and loving them, I decided to purchase the Lightning for my tiny, frail mother-in-law for her new home at the beginning of 2001. It is lightweight and has no bags. It also has the HEPA ...
Pros: Effective, lightweight, easy to operate Cons: The adjustment knob is very difficult to move on our machine
How dirty my house gets. Three kids, a cat, working, running a taxi service can make for a very neglected home. I do have someone come once a month to help get the household back to a livable condition, but I also have two teenagers, and I strongly...

Now, at my age, I shouldn't be desperately in love with anything, even a vacuum cleaner, but my Fantom Thunder and I have been having a torrid affair for about a year now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I bought this on sale at Target last year,...
Pros: good suction, hepa filter works well Cons: stops up easily, tools fall off, tool holder broke off

The first thing that happened was a broken belt because of something with a...

My husband bought me my Fantom vacuum a couple of years ago after much begging from me (o.k., yes, I begged for a vacuum...sad but true!).
I had been sucked in (no pun intended), by one of the first Fantom infomercials on the air. This vacuum...
Pros: No bags. Cons: Beater bar doesn't disengage, filters are hard to find. Static buildup!
We've had a Fantom Thunder for a couple of years now, and I've had more than enough time to discover the drawbacks involved in the so-called "bagless" vacuum cleaners...

I have owned the Fantom Thunder for four years and I can tell you that it is one great vacuum cleaner. When I bought it four years ago the whole "bagless" thing was relatively new. Fantom Technologies, Inc. of Canada had pioneered a great way to market...
I live in an old, dusty house! Not that I want it to be that way, but when your house is more than 60 years old, dust just seems to creep in. We have gone through 4 vacuums in the last 4 years, and NONE of them worked very well, even when new.
So...
Pros: Powerful suction, HEPA filter, on board attachments Cons: On the expensive side; a little heavy
I never thought I would see the day when I ranted about the virtues of a vacuum cleaner (shades of Martha Stewart!), but on this product I must. The Fantom Thunder is quite honestly the best vacuum cleaner I have ever had, I love it!
