Summary: It's Ok...
Comment: This vacuumn has great suction and cleans well but the floor to rug switch did not work since the first day. I see in a lot of reviews this seems to be quite a problem. It is also very loud and quite heavy to maneuver from room to room. I liked my Hoover Wind Tunnel better!

Summary: Powerful Cleaner
Comment: This vacuum cleaner is very powerful. It pulled out stuff our other sweeper had left in the carpet. On the downside, very noisy. Also to pull the sweeper backwards on a high pile carpet, you must learn to lift up the front rollers to prevent the brushes from touching the carpet or it becomes very difficult to use.

Summary: This is the new version of 4870GZ model!
Comment: I have researched extensively for weeks while I was pregnant, looking for a new vacuum. After making my decision to purchase the maroon 4870GZ, I wanted to find it at a store where hopefully I could try it first. I couldn't find it anywhere. I was only finding the red and silver 4870MZ. I decided to order the GZ model anyway and received the red and silver 4870MZ! I asked my husband to look into why I got the wrong vacuum, and eventually found that it really is the same one, just new colors. This has never been mentioned anywhere.

I do have to say that we love this vacuum! It has very powerful suction even when the bag is full. The motor is also very quiet, which is a bonus with our newborn. The attachments are user friendly and the hose can reach pretty far. It has a very long electrical cord making it convenient to vacuum for longer periods without stopping. The vacuum is easy to push and pull on carpet. It also works great on my tiled kitchen floor. The only thing negative is that the foot release is a little awkward at first, but no big deal. I have always went for the expensive vacuums in the past, but this vacuum is by far the best vacuum I have owned.

Summary: Maybe the Second Time Around It'll Work Longer
Comment: This is my second 4870; the first one worked great as long as it worked, which wasn't very long. After a little over two years it started smelling and acting like something was seriously wrong which happened to be the case. That 4870GZ is sitting in the garage waiting for me to decide what to do with it. It may be repairable or not but I have decided to retire it.

You may well ask why I would buy another one, well, that's a good question. I've never owned a vacuum before that stopped working after only 2+ years. I hope that this early malfunction was anomalous to that particular machine and not typical of the breed. While it worked, it did a really good job, therefore I've decided to give the maker and the model one more chance, and I hope I'm not sorry; I could not find a pattern of early failures on this model on the web. I also had an investment in bags, filters and belts that I hoped to be able to use. I'll admit that I feel as if I'm rolling the dice but hope for much better results this time.

The 4870MZ has an additional feature which the GZ model didn't have; the small brush attachment for cleaning stairs. Although we don't have stairs we do have some small carpeted spaces that are too narrow for the upright; this attachment does a good job in those areas.

The 4870 has done a very good job on our carpet, and is easily adjusted for bare floors. I was pleased enough to give it one more try; if this one only works for 2+ years I will write the model off as a lost cause. Only time will tell.
