Please forgive my lack of Spanish language knowledge (as I never took that language). But the vacuum cleaner that I bought a year ago has since died.
It was an Eureka Maxima 12 amp vacuum cleaner. It even still has the stickers on it. I even bought vacuum bags for it that I'll probably end up selling in a garage sale. Granted the vacuum was very light weight, but the roller quit rolling. Then when I would "roll" it on the floor it smelled like burned rubber because the rubber belt wasn't moving. The point of vacuuming the floor to me was to suck up hair/dirt and to make my room smell of that wonder carpet cleaning powder, burned rubber doesn't cut it for me!
I will never recommend this vacuum for ANYONE. Anyone who would want to keep a vacuum cleaner less than a year, this model would be perfect for you. It was hard to find the vacuum bags as well at my Wichita Wal-mart. I had to order the bags from Maine!
Now I will be looking for a new vacuum cleaner for my birthday. That's ALL I wanted for my birthday (NOT!).
Maybe I should just roll up all of my carpets and not buy a vacuum cleaner. Perhaps that is the way to go. Bare hardwood floors, after all that is the latest rage. Until then I'll have to just look at my "hairy" floor!

Oh, MAN, back to square one. How frustrating! Mine is a Eureka Power Plus bagless that I got at WalMart for something like $40. I really like it cause it's lightweight and easy to push. It does a better job than my $150 one I had from Best Buy. I don't use it nearly often enough. Plus I figure for $40 if it croaks I'm not out much, LOL. I really like the bagless feature. Of course, you need a tweenage son to dump it for you ;).
I have fixed a lot of vacuum cleaners in my days; if you want to bring yours by, I will look at it. Your last sentence may be a clue; many times the roller gets stuck from dirt and/or hair wrapped around it and then the belt slips. Yours could be a simple fix. spike
I agree with Spike. In the past when I've had appliances not work it's often been a simple fix. However, the other thing I have found to be mostly true but not always is the old saying: you get what you pay for.
Oh yes I also meant to say that after we took up our carpet on the main floor in our house in Harper, we never put carpet back down. I loved our hard wood floors. We kept carpet in the family room but just used area rugs in the living room. Easy to keep clean, less dusty, etc. Phyllis
