My Volta vacuum packed up after 10 years and I was talked into a high range Hoover. After purchasing I found the lead to very short a will only extend to one room at a time. I had to return the machine after 10 months as the cord kept retracting and I tried to replace by was put off by the $100+ Godfrey's wanted to charge to extend. Just out of warranty the extention tube for the sweeper collapsed and is now held in place by tape. Three months after fixing the cord it started retracting on its own again and another fitting feeding the cord came off and is unable to fix. The motor is good the but over all the machine is very poor quality for the premium unit I paid for what I expected to be a long lasting unit. I think I may have been better purchasing a better value machine at a electrical discount outlet as I didn't get the impression that Godfreys were interested in the fact they sold me the dud.

Approximate cost: $500
