Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I want to start by saying that I am a stay-at-home-mom to a 4 year old tornado child, pregnant with another one, with a pit/beagle mix and a really fat Tabby Cat. This is important for you to know because : 1.) I am overwhelmed and exhausted 98% of the time 2.) my house is in a constant state of chaos 3.) the amount of hair emitted from these animals is ungodly and almost surpasses the amount to which I love them. Almost. In addition to these facts, I am also one who suffers from respiratory issues due to an allergy to the cat my husband has had since long before we started dating. So, I shall deal until the cat is called home - so to speak. Now, for the good stuff. I have been using a vacuum that my mother purchased for us - it’s something like a shark “pet” something or other - the kind that has spinning bristles and a hose with attachments and likes to tip over and is a bigger hassle than I am willing to put up with for how often I /should/ be vacuuming my house. I recently reached a breaking point with my house and decided to simplify literally everything. At the top of the list was my cleaning gear. I had used a Dyson cordless vacuum at my MIL’s house recently, not unlike this one, and decided to get the same style. I purchased this vacuum based on reviews and the killer price - not to mention the option of same-day delivery. The second it arrived, I had to use it. Lo’ and behold, my life is changed. 1.) The vacuum is so light weight, I have zero issues holding it ABOVE my head to clean our ceiling fans. 2.) Assembly of the various parts, converting it into exactly what the job calls for, is an absolute breeze and I have never had anything so quickly interchangeable. (This thing is better than my MIL’s Dyson!!) 3.) The longest extension for the vacuum is long enough to easily clean the really tough places - where fur balls like to collect 4.) The suction and design of the floor vac attachment actually PULLS the crap from deep in the corners of baseboards and under kitchen cabinets. It’s also slim and flexible enough that I don’t have to rearrange my living room to get under furniture! 5.) The lack of a spinning brush removes that whole thing where debris gets kicked around instead of picked up by the floor attachment - it’s PERFECT for hard floors! I no longer feel the missed debris left behind while I vacuum barefoot, it gets EVERYTHING. 6.) The detail attachments PLUS the suction (plus the full extension attachment) make it to where my baseboards and blinds are getting cleaner than they ever have been, with out my pregnant butt being crouched down trying to get everything or having to over extend to reach high-up blinds. 7.) It’s QUIET! Like as quiet as my air purifier. Meaning when I have a newborn, I can get sh*t done!!!!! 8.) It takes up such little space that I’m totally fine having it tucked into a corner of my living room for easy, daily access to keep up on the house 9.) It is incredibly easy to use of carpeted stairs - again, without having to crouch and scrub just to get it clean. 10.) Since it has a HEPA filter, you can tell the air it’s pumping out is not stale, nasty vacuum air - it’s working just like my purifier does. I have yet to take it up to my fully carpeted upstairs, but from my experience with it already, I have full confidence in this vacuum and so much appreciation as a busy, exhausted mom on a single income. One recommendation is that you clean the bristles on all attachments after eat clean so that it’s ready for the next go-around - which is also super easy, unlike the other vacuum we have. If you’re wondering if you should make this purchase, take my word for it - so. Incredibly. Worth it!
