Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So my previous vacuum was a Dirt Devil Featherlite - a complete, loud piece of junk that wouldn't even pick up loose lint with 10 passes (not an exaggeration). I have 2 maine coon cats who shed constantly. There were always tufts of hair left on the carpet by the old vacuum. I had gotten a rubber pet hair brush and every couple weeks I would spend about half an hour crawling around my entire apartment on my hands and knees, brushing up a dense, softball-sized tuft of fur that had been left behind by the D.D.
Enter the Savvy... I got my U8173-900 at Circuit City as a floor demo for $85 (score!) I was looking for one of the Tempo Widepath models that Consumer Reports loved so much but no place in Seattle carries it - Not Best Buy, Target, K or Wal Mart, Fred Meyer etc. The Savvy was priced right and I was desperate for something new so I picked it up on an impulse. At first glance I was very impressed with the low front clearance and the dust cup and filter design seemed so much better than the Bissells' and Dirt Devils', which got constantly bad reviews for being messy to empty and for being prone to filter clogging (I spend hours researching everything before I buy).
So, I was expecting one of those experiences that you so frequently read about in a vacuum review - "It pulled up so much junk from my carpet that my old vacuum left behind that I almost fainted"... Well, I got it.
I fired it up and the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was, especially compared to my old D.D. It was so quiet that rather than running for cover, the cats actually came into the room to investigate the sound! I was wide-eyed with disbelief at them sitting there, watching me vacuum. Within the first 20 square feet or so by the front door I already had a massive whirlwind of fur, lint and dirt in the cup. I was blown away! My apartment's only about 750 square feet and I have a lot of furniture so exposed area is fairly small. Well, by the time I was done, the cup was filled to capacity with a monstrous, dense clump of crud that weighed over a pound - and I had just gone over it with the rubber brush and old vacuum 2 days ago! The carpet is cleaner than when I moved in. The Savvy also did an amazing job of lifting and fluffing the nap of the carpet. It's never been so soft and full. I am completely amazed. The cats seriously spent 10 minutes just walking every inch of the carpet, looking at it and sniffing it, confused by its new state. That's a statement in itself.
Other bonuses are that the cord was long enough for me to do the whole place from one outlet where the D.D. took me 2-3.The low head went under my bed, couch and entertainment center with no problems. The air was fresh when I was done and dumping the collection cup was a dust free and hassle free experience. I like the selectable switch for the beater so it doesn't scatter stuff on the kitchen floor. the low front lets you get under cabinet lips, too. It also maneuvers very nicely.
I am so glad I bought this vacuum! I am keeping my fingers crossed that it holds up mechanically for the long-run. I will post a follow up if it ever breaks down on me. I haven't used any of the hand tools yet but I would expect no problems. I like that the hose is super flexible and stretchy and not that rigid kind of plastic that fights you.
I would obviously recommend the Savvy U8173-900 in a heartbeat! I got a great deal on mine but now I would easily spend typical retail price for one.
