Customer Reviews of Fantom FM740 Twister 300SE Upright Vacuum
Customer Rating:   Summary: Virtually no suction Comment: Even with clean filters and such, the vacuum doesn't even pick up half the stuff on my carpet. Customer Rating: Summary: I love it Comment: I love the way it picks up the dog and cat fur. Also that it is light weight. It is easy to pick up and move around. In a tiny area that is great. I am very glad I bought this. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantom Twister Comment: I am very pleased with this product. It is great for picking up dog hair. I had a Hoover before and we had to replace the roller bar every 4-6 mo. because the dog hair wound around the ends and caused them to melt. The hair does not even catch on the roller bar with Fantom it goes in the canister. It is easy to empty. I clean the filters with a soft brush and dish detergent and it never has a musty smell like vacuums with bags do. Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the money... Comment: I have owned 2 Fantom vacuums- and the one I am currenty using (this model) will be the last! The first one died unexpectedly about 5 months after I purchased it- the company went out of business and so I had NO recourse, no warranty...nada! Foolishly, I bought another Fantom. I have had this one for about 1 year and since then, the belt has broken 3 times, the hose constantly comes disconnected from the main unit, the plastic holder that keeps the cord wound has broken off AND it mysteriously turns off and back on while I am vacuuming! When it works, it works very well...unfortunately, it just doesn't work that often! :( Customer Rating: Summary: best for the price Comment: When I decided it was time to retire my 35 year old electrolux canister, I knew I didn't need a super expensive vac because my needs would change when I moved from my apartment into a larger house in a few years. SO, I gave myself a 150.00 budget and looked around for a vacuum with the most suction, the ability to not get clogged on the tons of fur my two kitties constantly shed, and one that had attachments to get the fur off the furniture. Well, the Fantom does the job and then some. It effortlessly moves from my berber rugs to my hardwood floors and even to my super thick luxury carpet without adjusting anything. AND the suction - the suction is amazing!! I had vacuumed with my old vacuum two days before buying the fantom and it still picked up enough fur and dirt to make-up a whole new pet!!! Not only that, but on the hardwood floors, the dust bunnies come to you! The attachments are definitly an afterthought and not the best out there, but that's my only drawback so far. More Reviews The Fantom Twister upright vacuum not only cleans carpets, stairs and upholstery--it also cleans itself! A bagless model, the 12-amp vacuum features a 13-inch cleaning path and a motorized brush roll. Though not made for bare floors, the floor nozzle is smartly constructed for edge-to-edge cleaning and has a floating head for automatic carpet height adjustment. Dirt collects in the transparent dust cup, which features a built-in handle and a bottom-release hatch for tidy emptying. The canister also features the twisting mechanism the vacuum is named for--a spiraled insert that you can engage manually to sweep out the collected debris. The Twister comes with a true HEPA filtration system to trap airborne particulates, including dust, dander, and pollen. The filter stores in a front hatch for easy access and requires replacing 2 to 4 times a year. Additional filters inside the cup can be cleaned with an included tool for regular maintenance; the subfilter is washable. Handily equipped for above-floor tasks, the vacuum features automatic hose conversion with a sturdy, flexible hose and onboard tools. Accessories include two extension wands, a crevice tool, and a dusting brush that converts to an upholstery tool. In use, the hose attaches to a low clip on the backside of the machine for a smart, tip-resistant structure. Function switches on the machine are simple and straightforward, and the unit as a whole is highly maneuverable. It comes with a 25-foot power cord, quick-release cord hooks, a bright headlight, and a cord retainer clip. It measures 13 by 13 by 45 inches. --Emily Bedard 
Choosing Appliance -> Food Processor This is a big ticket item, but worth its weight in gold. It will save so much time when it comes to simple chopping or more advanced preparations like mayonnaise. As with most things, buy quality-- it will last longer, be capable of tougher jobs, and give you less problems. To make the food processor easiest to use, leave it on the counter top instead of storing it in a cabinet. Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare.

Useful info -> Self-Cleaning Ovens Store measuring cups, mixing bowls and other items used together in the same place. Duplicate frequently used items like cutting boards, knives and dish towels in each work area. Keep two containers - one at the baking center, the other at the range - for wooden spoons, spatulas and other cooking basics. And try to store every item at its first point of use. Keep the saute pan near the range, and stow pasta pots near the sink. |
