Gary was the worst performing vacuum on carpeting of all vacuums tested by CR. As CR says, there are better choices. They point out that the "free bags" have a $9.95 charge for shipping and handling.
Thanks for the info Severus. I feel the whole Garry Vac issue stems from off-kilter consumer expectations of cheap miracles and also because of our belief that if something's said or shown on TV -- well -- it must be so. If you happen to read HSN consumer reviews from disgruntled vacuum customers you'll see many disappointed testimonies.
Unfortunately, I've come to believe that fair pricing on vacuums whose use may prove worth the while will not come about until the American economy has been knocked to it knees and manufacturers are gagging for air. I'd say to smart consumers, know what you're looking for and when you can catch a good sale, jump on it before you just have to.
Best,
Venson
