The reason the hardwood attachment has that swivel neck is to keep the attachment FLAT against the floor when you extend the wand or go under furniture. It rotates to the R or L to maintain the head flat against the floor. The other thing is you should be able to use that pet hair attachment on your stairs. 🤗

Quantum vac is meant only for guys going to gym all the time. Not for a normal man or woman. If you watch the demo video a lady operating the Quantum vac She holds and moves the vac forward and back in straight and is not tilting sideways to change the direction. The reason the body is too heavy to bring it back to normal straight position of the handle. As an orthopedic physician my strong advice if you bought this vac better return it. Otherwise you will end up with major problems with your wrist and even carpal tunnel syndrome. It looks beautiful and powerful but has problems in maneuvering the vac. Totally not recommended.

Thanks. This was very helpful. Appreciate your thoughtful comments!

Thanks! Great video. If the hose is a standard 1 1/4" you can use better attachments. I find the "Rug Rat" is the best turbo stair tool.

Thank you for this great review! Your children are adorable, your pets so cute and happy. You bring up an interesting dilemma about fluid dynamics and maneuverability so I'll share this interesting side note.... a former trucker friend told me that that water wobble (fluid momentum) you described is _also_ what makes trailers transporting liquid very difficult to haul, and believe it or not, especially _milk tankers_ because whereas most liquid transportation trailers have v-shaped protrusions inside the tanker to break the fluid momentum and reduce that force from the _inside_ of the trailer, milk transporters can not support that feature bc it turns the milk into cottage cheese during transport (!) so.. milk transport trailers are actually some of the most difficult and dangerous trailers to haul, even more dangerous than fuel transporters! re the squeegee(?) attachment @6:00 are the blades a soft rubber? It seems that, if the blades are malleable, you could trim them down to reduce that height of those side openings and if you left the front facing blade a little longer, it would put a little more pressure on the surface as you draw the hose towards you. I have had great success trimming various attachments into better use and efficiency, especially ones that just don't work... better to try to alter them than have them never used. thanks again.

Thank you for this! I'm trying to decide on a vacuum.

I have been using mine for about 5 mos. I think it does a great job. And while I wanted to get way from emptying the dusty, dirty canister & the dirty filters, there are some cons for me to consider going back to my Shark that does a great job too. 1) you have to clean out the water canister each time (so no quick clean up before company arrives). We have a cat & 2 dogs, so LOTS of hair builds up in the black S tube - so make sure you rinse it out good. 2) I really miss having a cord keeper, and REALLY miss the hose & attachments mounted right on the vacuum. For those reasons alone, I would go back to my Shark if it wasn't for the price of the Quantum.

Thanks that was a nice review on the vacuum cleaner. I was thinking about getting one.

thanks for a great video. You're very articulate! Im having an issue with changing out the water basin...its stuck and will not come out. Any information?

Thank you soooo much for this review I think it's really helped me decide.

I did my stair, which is a lot of stairs. I used the attachment that has the removable brush and it worked great.👍🏼

Thank you so much for this review.

I love mine!!! Just got it. I will take it over the expensive Rainbow any day!

Thank you for this very useful information.

So, the larger of the two brush heads, and the rubber squeegee head... They both come apart... The bristles slide off the brush, so it's just a small head, which allows for more area coverage when sucking up water. The rubber comes off the squeegee, which allows it to sit flat on the floor and cover more area, but since there's still two holes left on top, I'm not sure how great the suction would be. Also, the rotating brush attachment, the rubber bristles are moveable. They twist to be over the opening with the rotating brush bristles, so you can't push hard enough to cut off air flow.

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHOW THE BACK OF THE VACUUM WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE BOTTOM PART, DOES IT LAY FLAT OR IS THERE A GAP NO PICTUES SHOW THE BACK AT THE BOTTOM. JUST BOUGHT 12-4-2021.

Found one about an hour away lightly used and it's $200 and they love it but was gifted something else that weights half as much and love that too. So hope I am getting a great deal because we have two dogs and one of them is a puppy and she kinda lives in our tiled dinning area and its nasty and we need something that can easily pick up pee messes quickly but can also do normal vacuuming on the rugs. Hope this is the 2 in one we need cause we could Never pay $300 or more for anything let alone a Vac. Thanks for this.

It truly is really heavy. I have 3 golden retrievers that shed a lot and I’ve been having a lot of problems with the hair gettin stuck in the roller brush under the vacuum instead of getting sucked up so it has made the vacuum useless for me. I’m wondering if anyone else has this problem?

Thank you so very much for your review info. I have been looking at the water filtration vacuums but did not want to lug a canister around. I was considering this vacuum since it is the only upright on the market. They sell on Amazon and I read the various reviews but a lot of people were complaining about it falling apart. Im not sure if it has to do with how you treat your vacuums .. idk. I tend to treat everything i own with great care. I have used the Sears bag uprights, several different shark vacuums, kirby and the old Oreck. I have horrible dust allergies which is why I was seriously considering this vacuum. I can't empty the tank vacuums without having a full blown asthma attack so thought this might be better. Bag vacuums are fine but those are becoming far and few in-between these days. I do have a lot of stairs and 5 large breed French sheepdogs which have long hair but these are a breed that don't fully blow/shed coat (having hair not fur) and don't get a stinky body. My big concern would be how does it pick up the dog hair? Again thanks so much for posting this. It's a huge help.

Do you have to clean hair out of the bottom of it that is like my biggest issue with my shark vac?

Shopping 🛒, thanks for the input

At the 3.40 mark on the video i noticed the curtain in the background starts fluttering? Looks like a ghost because only one of the curtains move? Scary!!!

Does anyone know how this vacuum handles hard water? Here in the desert our water has tons of minerals.

How do you attach the hose

I'd like to see how it does with clumps of pet hair. Does it get clogged up on either the brush head or the water basin? Thanks!

You mentioned not liking doing the stairs (paraphrased), is it possible to use the hose out the back with the carpet/dust brush? Leaving the sweeper propped at the bottom or top of the stairs?

Two thoughts I have: Could you use the pet hair attachment to vacuum your stairs? Could you use attachments from your shop vac or another vacuum to vacuum up the water?

No cable management which really sucks, no pun intended!. Had to 3D print an attachment so don't have to keep connecting and disconnecting cable. Overall, great vacuum, especially if you have pets that shed a lot and bring in the back yard! Just don't use oil based scent otherwise it will damage the interior finish of canister creating a haze which is near to impossible to remove.

What about cleaning furniture?

have u said this to quantum

Good job. I just bought one.

How is it to clean? I had the Bissel and it was gross to keep clean. I had the rainbow for 30 years which I loved but it got too heavy for me to use.

P.o.s. just stopped working for me after 8 months. The plugged stopped working.Had my carpets professionally cleaned after using the Quantum x for 6 months. The guy filled up his vacuum twice. The company responded to me telling me that it was years of dirt build up in my house. Reall???? The vacuum heavy and bulky. Not practical for stairs or dragging up and down stairs. I spend more time cleaning out the dirt build up in the vacuum chambers than I do cleaning my entire house. If you have hairy pets...run. this is not the vacuum for you. My husky sheds from April through September in the desert. This the Quantum clumps the hair and dumps it. The attachments a clunky. The more you extend the hose to reach areas, the less suction you have. Save your $400 and invest in a shark or Dyson or even a rainbow. I've had my shark for over 10 years. It still works great. My brother has had a rainbow for over 30 years. Still works great. I sent an email to the company because it supposed to have a one year warranty. I'm not holding my breath. Other reviews mention that the company doesn't respond.

Great review

Here's my review it's very heavy vacuum cleaner and every time you use it you have to clean out that nasty mess in the water filte. Which is OK because you're not blowing air around and getting everything dirty and dusty again. It's easy to take apart and clean out the tubes. There's a video out there that shows you how you can take the cleaning head off. But when my rollers wouldn't rotate and I cleaned them they said push the red button on the back of a powerhead to restart. Mine was not RED!!! it was a little black tab/square button that looked like just part of the machine. Took me forever trying to find a RED BUTTON (on the Quantum x vacuum) When I found this little black square I pushed it and the rollers started working. PS. The serious downside besides the fact that it's an extremely heavy vacuum cleaner you cannot wrap the cord around and the bag Has to just sit on the floor but the biggest issue is the fact that if you extend your cleaning wand completely out using all the attachments it does not suck very well at all. So when I use my cleaning wand to vacuum the hardwood floors to get back underneath the chairs and stuff I only use 2 extensions rather than 3. And within the 1st month of June using it the flexible cable that attach is the wand tore off and I had to tape it back on

Thanks for sharing with us, I`ve been wanting to get one of these for a while now... where can I get it in rose gold?

Thanks so much. Great review

I dont know how to use the hose part, don't know how to connect

Can you add essential oil for smell while vacuuming? Example lavender essential oil?

it still stinks! any suggestions? the suction but like you said it is heavy. Also I can't get rid of the smell after I clean it thoroughly

How often do you have to change the water basin during a normal house cleaning?

I have had my Quantum X for about a year now. The lights in front haven't ever came on. Now for what ever reason it isn't sucking up anything. I have check everything I know to clean and check. Has anyone else had this problem??? In the past I owned a Rainbow canister sweeper for 30 years. So was excited to find this portable one. V

Buy a squeeze tool for that vacuum aftermarket just measure the size of the pipe

How is cleaning the tank and letting it dry? I read one review that said it smelled?

I ordered this vacuum mainly for pet hair which it did a fantastic job. However, the swivel move,emt is difficult because i can't manage guiding too well. i have injury to my hands plus it feels heavy. manipulating it is the main issue for me, which magnifies the weight. any comments??

How do u take the extension off of the back ?

How does it work on scattered cat litter? Do you have any issues with it cleaning it up?

What about a very thick, shag rug?

Please tell me about how this vacuum handles very long human hair when cleaning the carpet. Thanks!

I just have a question where do you even leave the dirty water, what happened if there big junk of trash in the water. Like do I put it in my trash can

I want one of these so bad. I wish they offered a payment plan

do the front lights work? mine don't

How it is ther air smells after vacuum

How does this work on pet accidents on a rug?

Caution whatever you do not put that nasty water in any toilet or any kitchen sink bathtub or face Bowl sink to get to the nearest trash can

The bong vacuum

Lol at 6:35 something flies behind you in the bedroom.....not sure if it's an orb or just a moth or what.

I have one, I do not like it. it is very heavy and hard to turn due to the weight

@ 6:37, a hair flew in front of the camera - kind of freaked me out. I guess the Q X missed that one. LOL

how much did you pay for it?

where is the reset button

Hello, I have a weird choice for receiving one question for you. This is just a pretend scenario --If you had a choice between a Rainbow, Kirby, Quantum, or Dyson. Pretend you get a choice for you to get one free. Which one would you chose???

During vacuuming there is still little dust in the air from vacuuming , just no dust after you are done when opening to throw away whatever you had colleted since it is in water .(but the problem is during vacuuming there is dust in the air caused/disturbed by vacuuming) . Then you also have the smell of vacuuming(I know that's normal but the smell is strong and I had thought with this vaccum u wouldn't smell it ). Does anyone have this issues? Also the whole vaccum has a very strong chemical smell , does anyone have this issues too ? (especially when you open the box every piece has a very strong chemical smell) .

also it does not have a place for cord. and i am not buying the one rhey offer.

When you do the steps you don’t use around thing like you hook the hose to use it for the furniture thing and you take the brush off of it in still do the steps OK when you hook the hose to the back of the unit and go up the steps with it you got 20 feet there I don’t know how many steps you can do then you have to bring it up if you got a landing then you have to bring it up and do it that way and then when you do wet spells use the same unit you the same attachment to do that to the pick up the carpet or pick up any water you don’t use that big unit that you demonstrate in your thing because it’s not really designed really for that it’s a piss poor design and everything else you know if you know anything about vacuum cleaners much as I do and how many years I’ve used them in all the things in and out then you do you understand about cleaning because I have commercially clean for a couple years and I’ve used commercial stuff in a vacuum where I work right now ain’t worth a shit I don’t wanna think about these commercial vacuum operates ain’t worth a shit you know I’m trying to talk to company to buy me a koala quantum X

Nay

Not worth $400 I wasted my hard earned money

Ok this is depressing. Does she understand what vacuums are used for lol. Couldn't even finish watching whole thing. She gave me a headache.

Your review is ok but too many "i dont knoks" so what is the review if you dont know?
