> 24 hourWe decided to try a stick vacuum so we could more easily just grab it and run it without having to worry about cords and outlets. We only had this for a little over week but made sure to run it often so we could decide if we liked it, it took a few hours to initially charge the battery before giving it a try. Our main level is fairly small, we have two carpeted areas and two hard floor areas and we were able to clean the entire downstairs on a single charge on the lowest power setting. On the highest power setting we couldnt vacuum more than one of the carpeted rooms. The trigger has a handy trigger lock which helps you avoid fatigue from holding the button, thats a really great touch. The vacuum seemed to do a good job overall, were 2 adults so its just normal dirt tracked in from the garage or the patio, or food crumbs in the kitchen. We found it was very easy to empty the dirt cup after vacuuming - just hold it over the wastebasket, push a button, and the dirt falls out of the cup. Sometimes some fuzzy dirt or hair would stick in there a bit and need a little help, but overall thats the same as our corded vacuum. The main thing that was important to me was a vacuum that didnt get hair wrapped around the roller, as thats been a huge problem with our corded vacuum. For this reason we specifically bought the Pet version rather than another, as these are supposed to be better designed for hair. This vacuum is fantastic in this respect, the roller looks like it would get hair tangled because it has brushes on it, but I was surprised to see that it doesnt get twisted and tangled full of hair. Sometimes I found a hair or two that was mostly just there - almost just laying on the roller so it can easily be removed with your fingers. The biggest downside for me is the filters. There are inner filters that are a bit of a pain, not horrible but just more putzy than I prefer. Theres a pre-filter that has a handy provided attachment for cleaning it, which youre supposed to do after every time you vacuum. They provided a 2nd pre-filter, so you swap out the dirty one and replace it with the clean one, then put the dirty one into the provided attachment, snap that onto the power head (the handle piece with the trigger), turn on the power and rotate the pre-filter inside the tool to clean the dirty filter. This way youll have a clean pre-filter ready for next time. This works well but its an added step you dont have to do with most corded vacuums. Additionally, theres an inner metal mesh piece inside the power head that get hair wrapped around it, so you may have to pull that out to clean the hair from it when cleaning the pre-filter. Lastly theres a HEPA filter, which I checked each time but it hasnt shown any dirt yet, but thats yet another filter that may need cleaning or replacing at some point. While using the vacuum I also found that when removing the power roller attachment to use the wand on a cobweb or something above floor level, you have the power head in one hand, then reach down to push the latch to disconnect the power roller attachment - but its held in place fairly tightly so I had to hold that piece to the floor with my foot to disconnect it. I feel like this is a breakage waiting to happen. Overall this is a pretty good stick vacuum for the price, but theres more after care & cleaning thats needed that I just dont want to do. We decided this just isnt the right one for us, but for many people this will be perfect for their needs as it does clean well.

> 24 hourVery disappointed in this vacuum. It doesn’t pick up well at all. I’m also used to hanging the vacuum on the wall charger and it begins charging. This one you have to hang then plug in. Small inconvenience but worth mentioning if you’re used to just hanging and leaving. The power/suction was the biggest disappointment. My other vacuum broke so I was in a hurry to replace otherwise I’d have returned it.

> 24 hourMy daughter and I have each had to take back another brand of cordless vac that just stopped working for each of us, at different times. So far, this one has more versatility via an easy on/off wand that attaches to a power brush for floors; without that, its a hand vac, my favorite. Each can use a variety of attachment tools. My favorite is the crevice tool, and I leave it attached to the handvac nearby for the quickest clean-ups. So far, the battery has lasted for days without being plugged in, but I havent yet tested the 25 minutes of continuous use (although close). My living space is staying SO MUCH cleaner because of the ease and light weight of this vacuum, with amazingly good suction power! Nothing has eluded it so far. While I cannot fathom what is so tiresome about getting a vacuum out of the closet, unwinding the cord, plugging it into the outlet with the best reach, then moving it from area to area while I clean....wait? Now that I spell it out, I guess I get it. Who wants to lug and plug? This machine is so light and easy that I just grab it whenever I need it. I hesitated to buy again after the loss of my other cordless floor vac, so I waited, watched what was coming out, avoided the too expensive Dyson, then consulted Consumer Reports to find this is rated more highly than the Dyson! I just hope it lasts, but I have already researched and found that I can replace the battery when needed, hopefully not for a long time. I could finally give away my Shark cordless handheld thats served me with slowly diminishing power over the years.

> 24 hourI have a dog who has been shedding like crazy and I’ve been looking for something that will pick up all of his hair on the ground and especially on the couch. This thing is heaven sent. I had been waiting to purchase a Dyson but took my chance in this and it’s like a perfect dupe! It picks up all of his hair from the couch so now i dont have to worry about when guests come over. There’s a ton of attachments. What i love most is the light that shows me everything on the ground. I had a robo vacuum that i thought was picking everything up and i quickly learned that this does double the job in half the time. The battery doesn’t last very long in the highest setting but ever since i got it I’ve been able to vacuum so easily as i leave a room so it stays charged when i do need it compared to vacuuming the entire apartment. I’m interested to see how it will be after a few months but for now I’m quite literally obsessed

> 24 hourI was skeptical about buying this, but it is fantastic! I used to drag my central vac hose out 2-3 times a day trying to keep my kitchen floor clean with kids, now I just grab this quick and it gets the job done! My husband made fun of it after trying to clean his truck, saying the suction was less than impressive, so now every time I vacuum the kitchen when he is around I purposely try to vacuum the squishy kitchen mat in front of my sink and it grabs onto the mat and drags it back, to which I reply “look at the crappy suction”.

> 24 hourNot very impressed. When on high it lasts only 15 minutes if that. Doesn’t hold tiny rocks and will fall out when I hang it up on the wall. Super disappointing and now I’m out money.

> 24 hourMy wife and I are seniors, have no carpet nor rugs in our house and this thing is perfect for us. Its lightweight, easy to use and does a fine job on our floors. Vacuuming our floors has never been more convenient and easy. Disconnect the wand and power head and it works well as a lightweight, handheld vacuum. (I used it to clean the dust out of my desktop PC.) I was a little nervous about buying a battery-operated vacuum cleaner, particularly one priced lower than most, but were both very pleased with its convenience and performance. We get around 20 minutes of run time at low speed, about half that at the high setting.

> 24 hourThis vacuum is definitely worth the price! Suction power is great however, the container is easily filled and has to be emptied quite often. I like the attachment pieces they come in handy. I find myself vacuuming more now because of the light weight and ability to move around freely.

> 24 hourBought because it was light weight. It does seem like I have to vacuum really slow and go over the same spot a couple times to get all the dog hair. I probably wouldnt buy this again!!!
