Genesis Cyclovac - don't waste your money

I purchased a Genesis Cyclovac vacuum cleaner 3 years ago and from about 3 months in it would just shut down after only vacuuming a small area and being in use around 5 minutes. I then proceeded to make sure that I had properly cleaned all filters including rinsing them as per the guidelines and then the issue stopped. It recently started up again and now even after washing the filters out properly it is still doing it. I have read multiple complaints of this nature so it seems to be a known problem with this vacuum cleaner. It is by far the worst vacuum cleaner I have every owned, all my others lasted a minimum of 5 years (in a similar or cheaper price range than this one) and most were still working when I replaced them. I will NEVER buy another Genesis product. Absolute waste of money and highly frustrating to be stuck without being able to clean your home for days whilst you attempt to get a new vacuum. I work from home and receive clients, so it is quite a pickle to be in on short notice.
