Cons: Brush turbine seems prone to failure.

A friend of ours had been raving about her Agility cleaner, so we bought one at our local Lowes store for $198 in January of 2005. About 2-1/2 years later, it's still going. Near the end of this review, you'll find an update about a problem we've had ...

Cons: The handle release switch is tricky-my foot tends to slip off.

Cons: Short cord, tanks are awkward.
