After waiting for a few moths, I finally received my Lupe! I was extremely excited to use it around the house but after using it for a few days, I can only share disappointment: - The vacuum is heavy for my wife and even for me (42 year old man). - The design is not convenient for left-handed people, especially when you use the accessories and have to hold the canister with your right hand. The hose comes out on the right side of the unit. - Falls very easily when using attachements, you will have to hold the unit constantly to avoid drops. - There is no handle to lift the vacuum other than the canister itself which puts a lot of pressure on it and could break the seal. - Very loud, even on low setting, extremely loud on high setting. - The feel quality of the plastics does not inspire high quality. - Scratches easily, as mentioned earlier, when using the accessories, it is almost inevitable that the unit will drop, especially for left-handed people, the Lupe logo was scratched at the first light drop. - The soft roller sticks to the tiles and makes the unit hard to maneuver. - Retro-Style, love it or hate it but it does not look like your next-gen vacuum. - Very limited reach under furniture, the head is too large and the bending angle does not allow to go far under furniture. - Maneuvering is not smooth and the turning angle is limited. - The suction is decent but not comparable to other higher-end models. - The battery life on high setting (necessary to clean carpets well) is extremely short. I was not able to finish a 200 sq/ft room with a fully charged battery. - The charge time is too long, 3+ hours for a full charge. - Requires some serious muscles to move on carpet, my wife almost gave up vacuuming our only carpeted room. Nice thinking but not worth the high price.
