With the special coupon code, it brings the price down to the lowest it has been.
I've got one myself via the indigogo campaign. I've had it for around a week and it's great. I can't compare it to other stick vacs as this is my first, but it is comparable to a no-brand corded vacuum, but doesn't do as well as a 20 year old Rainbow vacuum system that still gets used from time to time.
The 55 minute run-time is accurate with the motorised head, however, it only applies to its lowest "normal" setting. There are three "normal" settings - 80W, 130W and 180W. You get around 55, 33 and 26 minute run-time respectively. I find that the 80W mode is only good for hardwood floors. You really need to set it to 130W or 180W when using it with carpets. If you intend to use this mostly on carpet, then the real run-time on this unit is at least 33 minutes. This then makes it comparable to the V8 using its motorised head. The 40 minutes it claims are when using the other extensions and not using the floor/motorised tool.
Note: Reposted this deal as the previous deal had a one-time use code, that's why it was unpublished.
