Advantages: The disposal system is easy to use.

Disadvantages: It blows dust back through the filter. It is too heavy.

I bought this to replace a worn out Dyson. I have 3 dogs so my home gets quite messy! When I first tried vacuum it felt very powerful and I was pleased it was going to be so effective. However, it's power means that it sucks so hard to your floors that you can barely push it around! It feels very heavy, even after adjusting the head to the appropriate setting for the type of floor it is. Furthermore, it is quite noisy, much noisier than my old Dyson, and actually frightens the pets!
The filter is easy to insert and remove but for some reason the vacuum blows air back through the filter and a lot of dust and white powder residue (particles of the filter) are blown back and can create more mess than when you started! It gets so bad it chokes you.
The capacity is quite small but the removal system is quick and easy. Unfortunately this vacuum is so horrendous that I have purchased another Dyson, only a month after buying this. I still use this Electrolux on non carpeted areas and in the utility rooms where it is still powerful and easier to move on the bare floors.
I would not purchase this vacuum if you are looking for a solution to pet mess. It doesn't help do the job.

Summary: An awful vacuum that doesn't do what it promises.
