Carmine,
Yes, my vacuum was new. The only issue with it was the broken piece and that's why I bought it.. Ace: For $69 you can't go wrong. I'm curious about the new box size of the vacuum: In comparison to say the dyson carton, how does the box size of the Premalite measure up? Carmine D.

Ir Ace was referring to a Dyson you would be telling that is a POS. You want us to believe that only Dyson is the problem and not the user. Your credibility would be better if you presented the fact that all vacuums have problems. Could it be that this Sears vac is a POS and overpriced. Almost $400 for a vac that is likely a lemon.

VAX used the aluminum alloy handle in one piece and it appears very sturdy. Wonder if the Premalite handle is halved to make it more compact for boxing and shipping? Carmine D.
Hi Carmine,
Just for the record the handle/wand is all one piece. In result it is a little too short if you wanted to use a bare floor tool with it so like the Vax it's basically good for extending your reach to places overhead. The handle grip/ hose end is the only part of it that detaches. Venson

So you agree that the Premalite is a POS.
I recall my good man, when your DC07 was launched it had a major flaw that required some quick dyson remedy. Airblade [Matt mmc] can verify. I pointed it out on another Forum before you arrived. The U-bend airway was a detachable piece. And detachable it was. It had a thumb button on it. Most if not all users took it to be the handle release. Their first reaction was to step on it. When they did, it came off. When it came off the DC07 had no suction in attachment mode. And guess what. The comprehensive dyson manual had no illustrations and instructions on how to reinstall. Consequently the piece was often off or separated from the vacuum. Dyson corrected the flaw on subsequent models. And the DC07 launched at $439.
The Premalite gets a pass for now until I have a chance to use it extensively. Carmine D.
