Amazon.com Review
Powerful, convenient, and simple to operate, this two-motor, 1440-watt, bagless upright vacuum has a soft-grip handle that converts to a cleaning wand by squeezing a release button and provides a 10-foot reach thanks to a stretch hose. Onboard attachments--a universal cleaning tool and a crevice tool for stairs and upholstery--attach to the handle/wand or directly to the hose. By employing a washable, transparent bin to collect dirt, the vacuum eliminates messy disposable bags. The machine's two motors--one for the brush-roll, the other for suction--make the vacuum more effective than a single-motor vacuum. For screening out allergens, it comes equipped with a true HEPA filter that traps 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size and a prefilter to prolong the HEPA filter's life. A height-adjustment dial on the front offers a bare-floor setting and three carpet settings. Dual headlights and extra-large wheels provide illumination and maneuverability. --Fred Brack

Summary: A vacuum cleaner that you need to to vacuum to clean 2008-05-31
Comment: My title may sound confusing, but it explains what you need to do to have the Fantom Cyclone XT work properly. When the bagless container is clean, this vacuum will pick up dirt and pet hair like no other vacuum cleaner I have ever seen. Once you have collected all that dirt, the trouble begins. The canister is easy to remove and dump in a waste can as clouds of dust fly in the air. The top portion of the canister will have air inlets that are clogged with dirt that will need to be cleaned. The easiest way to do that is to vacuum it, but then you need another vacuum cleaner to vacuum the Cyclone! Yes, that is a waste of time. My Cyclone has worked dependably for many years but when it dies, there will be no funeral in my house. I will miss its ability to pick up dirt that other cleaners left behind.

Summary: any help appreciated for my fantom cyclone xt51 2007-12-01
Comment: I have had my cyclone for about 5yrs and it has performed admirably untill this week when I have seemed to lost all suction. Everything seems to work, even the brush turns but I dont have suction and I have done all the cks to see if there is any blockage and cant find any, tried to reset the circuit board , opened the rear chamber for chance of blockage. I have tested it by putting wads of hair or fluff on the floor and the brush picks it up but it doesnt get to the bin.

Summary: Works great, naughty circuit board 2007-11-14
Comment: It worked great for years until the brush would power on and off. I was ready to buy a new one until I found another guy talking about the fix. You basically reset the circuit board because it craps out when you play with the brush (terrible idea). This fix worked great for me and hopefully it helps someone else:
It could be the circuit board in the powerhead that controls the motor that turns the roller brush. If the circuit board has been tripped, this is one of the things that happens. How this happens is usually by pulling debris or manually turning the roller brush. To get into the powerhead area to reset the circuit board, follow these steps:
Remove lightbulb covers..
Remove lightbulbs...
Remove the screws beside each lightbulb socket...
Gently lift cover...
Locate circuit board...
no wonder I couldn't find the screws!
There is a "tower" on the board that has a little "arm". Push that in so that it clicks the button on the tower. That resets the circuit board. Make sure that all connectors are connected everywhere else in the powerhead area.
Put vacuum back together. Vacuum should restart and beater should work. If doesn't, then you need to order a new circuit board.
Please note: If there is debris on the roller brush, remove the debris by cutting it out and not pulling or turn the roller brush.

Summary: Fantom Cyclones are Great! 2007-09-20
Comment: I bought my Fantom Cyclone 5 years ago and I still love it. It's the best vacuum I've ever owned. I just had to replace the powercord, but otherwise it's as strong as it was the day I got it. I have two dogs and it picks up every bit of the hair. I have to change the filter 2 times per year, but it's worth it. Most people don't realize you have to change the hepa filter more often if you have pet hair. The suction is greater with a clean hepa filter.

Summary: Couldn't give it a ZERO 2005-09-08
Comment: This was the biggest waste of money
The circuit board that controlled the brush died along with the useless lights in the first year. $50 to replace.
Did they offer warranty replacement - NOPE. Fantom - "No longer supported this model" So I did it myself
If the dust bin is sparkling clean it has good suction, if not
use a broom. I will say that the handle/wand is a great idea but with no suction, no pickup.
