Wertheim 7 Series W9000

We've had our Wertheim 7 Series W9000 for almost three years now and today we finally had enough of it that we replaced it.

The main annoyance is the power cord that slowly retracts on its own as the vacuum cleaner is being used. Sometimes the retraction is in fast spurts and it retracts over a meter in a few seconds, other times it's quite slow. Usually, the first time you notice it is when the vacuum stops as the power cord is pulled out of wall socket before you should have reached the normal extent of the power cord. We've returned the vac...

I have dogs and it clogs easily, it stops working. The heads are hard to get off. Salesman said I need to get the upright and use every other day ($800) and just use this one once a week. That’s not what he told me when I bought it! Not happy.

I collect vacuums and this is by far my favorite. I have over 30 and this machine with it's beater head and old school Domel motor is just mint. Allergic to dust mites and this thing gets them out of my mattress and the bigger beater bar makes it resist pet hair tangles.

We have old carpet, large family & a short haired dog, as much as it's a great power head we have many issues with it getting clogged often with soft debris

This is the second Wertheim I've owned and I may have just got a lemon but I will never buy another one. The heads don't come off easily, the cord rewinder is broken and keeps rewinding the cord, I've checked for blockages but it just doesn't suck properly. Extremely disappointed, paid a lot of money for this, should have just got a Kmart one.

Had this vacuum for 12 months now. When we purchased it we thought our carpet was flat and hard now the carpet is fluffy. I tell everyone to buy one

Bought this from Godfreys a couple of years ago after having an old Wertheim XL180 that was absolutely freaking amazing, however, it now sits collecting dust because it needs some costly spare parts. It is expensive to purchase but made so cheaply. The rubber has peeled off the wheels and the handle. The handle has cracked twice, now beyond repair and costs around $200 for a replacement.
I bought this one in particular because we have 3 large inside dogs and I vacuum the house every day. It is so heavy to drag around that I ended up buying another vacuum and only ended up using this one once a week for a deep clean...until it broke.

Suction is great, but vacuum itself cannot handle it and therefore everything from power head, hose, filter will break. Very heavy. The biggest waste of money. That’s what sales ppl don’t say unfortunately

I've had Dysons before and this by far is the best vacuum you can get! I'm OCD and after cleaning my carpets once, I could instantly smell a cleaner room. The carpets get such a deeper clean with the turbo head. The hard floor head socks up everything without pushing objects like some other vacuums I've used. I suffer from back problems and the turbo head is heavy but it does the job trust me! If you have kids and carpets you won't regret your purchase. Godfreys offers servicing which is an added bonus. I honestly could not go back to a Dyson after this!

We purchased this for our uneven terracotta floors. Nothing we tried had enough suction. We were tossing up between this and the Miele but the extra plastic attachment on the arm means we only need to use one vacuum bag a year! We just empty the attachment and keep using.

Have had this Wertheim for 2 years now and it has never let us down. Mother is OCD and uses Dyson and carpet shampoor every 3 months and we did her carpet and got so much stuff out after she had already vacuumed!! We vacuum our floor daily due to amount my dog sheds plus allergic to cats so having a great vacuum helps my symptoms. I love that I can do my entire house without having to unplug, bit bulky but that’s a non issue with how great it is otherwise

Fantastic machine, solid built. I was offered 10 years of free services from Godfreys which really says it all. Can't believe how much muck it sucks out. We have wooden floors and carpet and does well on both. Love the longer cord too. It is heavier to pull around so may not suit elderly or anyone with back problems. I purchased this as we have 2 in the family with Asthma and it can double as an air purifier. It's the dearest vacuum I've ever purchased but I hope it lasts us 10-12 years as my Meile did before this one. We received the cyclonic thingy, 4 x bags and 10 years services (1 per year) all included. Good deal

Vacuum looks great not as good as older models. Older models had better suction. The suction is like normal vacuum. Features are good and attachments are good. Cord feedback is lacking. Not sure if this will last. I purchased 9000 this year. This is my third wertheim not overly impressed.

Bought this in December2019 after old wertheim could no longer be fixed.
Sorry I did, am giving it to my daughter as it is not suitable for me at all. I find it very heavy and hard to move around, it picks up a lot of dirt and some cat hairs, but I’m still constantly bending down to gather up bits of cat hair.
And now it is stuck on curtains, and it will not move, don’t know what I’m doing wrong there.
Wish I’d bought something more suitable for a 74yr old after bypass op.

Brought this machine from Godfreys last week after our last cordless died. We always vacuumed twice daily with children and though the floors were clean. Our lounge room filled the diverter 5 times. I will never buy another vacuum ever again
