We purchased this vacuum with high hopes given the reviews here, but quickly ran into a huge problem: the vacuum pulls “fuzzies” out of our carpet like nobody’s business. Even with it set to be as high off the ground as possible, a sweep of the whole house yielded hundreds of carpet fuzzies laying about all over the place. Worse, the vacuum was literally *jam packed* with carpet fiber – the intake, hose, everything.

It took about an hour to clean the whole thing out. (It really was incredible how much was stuck in there. It was completely unusable.) I was left with a shoe box sized box full of packed carpet fiber to throw out, as well as all the fuzzies strewn about to pick up.

My theory is that the roller is simply too close to the ground, even on the high setting. I don’t think it’s our carpets, which are of the typical new house short, textured plush variety. Nothing old or shaggy or anything.

I fixed this issue by disassembling the intake cover and putting a washer underneath each screw channel. This pushed the base of the intake further out, thus decreasing the protrusion of the brushes. After this modification, all seems to be well. The added bonus is that the vacuum doesn’t leave such noticeable lines in the carpet.

Upon close examination of my mother’s $400 vacuum cleaner (I don’t recall the brand) I noted that on the high setting the roller is completely disabled. Perhaps Hoover makes up for poor suction power by heavy reliance on the roller. Whatever the reason, I’m afraid I would not purchase this unit again.

I had low expectations with this inexpensive vacuum but I purchased it due to the low price, free shipping and the great Amazon reviews. We have had it for a year and it works much better than my old vacuum from Sears that cost $250. I tried a Dyson at one point but it was so bulky, difficult to clean my car with and expensive that I returned it to Sears. That was a total waste of money. This vacuum is relatively light and has great sucking power and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It is totally sufficent and it costs what a vacuum should cost.

We bought a KitchenAid two years ago and use it all the time. Mixing cookie dough or whipping cream is a breeze. It’s solid and stable (won’t tip) and is well made. We’ve never had a problem. Lot’s of accessories are available, but it’s the basics you’ll really appreciate.

Without a doubt, J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in The Rye is a controversial piece of literature, from the moment the novel is open, until the book’s back cover is closed. Salinger’s use of profanity and coverage of mature material has been debated for years. Some claim it to be too blunt and inappropriate for its targeted audience, but regardless of these critics’ opinions, Salinger’s brilliance is undeniable. The novel’s protagonist, Holden Caulfield, is a seventeen year old prep school teen who constantly suppresses his past which causes interference with his present life. With the plot set, the novel easily establishes a theme in which many can relate to, the inevitable loss of innocence one undergoes when growing up. This theme seems to prevail, and bring truth to the unavoidable facades adults often wear. J.D. Salinger’s informal use of language, and well developed characters help capture the ingenious plot of his novel and its ability to have its audience clinging to every page.
The Catcher in the Rye ultimately portrays Holden Caulfield’s fear of becoming another phony adult in society. His many teenage problems that uniquely present themselves throughout his life, create a page-turning effect that keeps the reader anticipating what the next may reveal. While Holden’s attitude and personality seem to embody every reader who praises this novel, the supporting characters don’t always play such a minimal role. Holden’s older brother, and younger sister, Phoebe plays a large part in the development of Holden’s character. Events such as the death of his little brother, in the long run also reveals much about Holden’s attitude on life. His close relationship with his sister and the envious resentment he occasionally portrays for his older brother, are relationships everyone can relate to.
Salinger’s simple use of language leaves no space for confusion, and his bluntness enables The Catcher in the Rye’s audience to relate in such a close manner. His informal

After seeing my students devour this book, I decided to give it a try and Wow!!! I came from Transylvania – the land of Dracula, and I am also teaching high school level, so this book hit home! Loved the style of writing more than anything. Sophisticated and well developed, the characters echoed their actions in my head for a long time after finishing the book. LOVED IT!!!!
