DC23 Canister Vacuum Cleaner- Refurbished

First-off... this is a $500 vacuum which I got for $230 on Amazon (refurb).

Vacuum looks and functions like-new.

Incredibly powerful, and versatile. With the included attachments, I'm vacuuming areas I either couldn't reach, or lacked the power to vacuum in the past.

The Turbine head is powerful and does an excellent job of vacuuming rug/carpet.

The turbine head does get bogged-down on long-ply carpet, but still functions.

The head fits under anything, and turns corners like a breeze.

The canister itself pulls along quite easily, and also "mounts" to stairs.

Why 4 stars? Because some of the ergonomics of this model are lacking:

Hose and handle do not wrap around canister, or attach in any convenient way.

Activating Turbine head is odd. Weak/Achy hands may not be able to perform the function.

Oh, and not that this matters, but this thing looks awesome.

If I could break-down the "star" rating, it would look like this:

POWER * * * * *
