Query: Works great....for a year only!

My husband and I purchased this in July of 2006 because it had great reviews and it was even a Good Housekeeping best buy! We're having the exact same problems! The power doesn't even work on "bare floor" and the brush agitator has completely stopped working on the carpet setting. The power flickers on and off on the vacuum and it is extremely difficult to drag this "best buy" across our floor now. So much for us *ever* buying a Hoover again! Run away!
