" ...  Very cheap plastic, horribly cheap and questionable power cord (in the first 2 weeks: I managed to somehow accidentally run over the cord once quickly whilst on carpet and the insulation on the power cord is completely splitting.). ... I understand this was kind of my fault, but I would think power cords for vacuums would be made of slightly better material to prevent such an easy screw-up.  ...  "
comment
" ...  My only complaint is that the power cord is incredibly short.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The cord is also short and if you don't want to be stepping on it because it comes out of the bottom of the unit, you have to use the first 3' of it to hook it up on the clip on the top of the handle.  ...  "
comment
" ...  My only gripe so far is that it does not have a retractable cord.  ...  "
comment
" ...  There wasn't an actual fire, but the cord is MELTING. ... The cord is pulling apart or melting or something weird where it's insides are visible and dangerous looking.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The cord is so rigid, since the first use it hasn't straightened again. ... We've had to use elecrical tape on several areas of the cord because of this and it breaking because it's so twisted we're unable to untwist it.  ...  "
