Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read a lot of weird reviews related to suction-strength duration and battery life. Now, because I’m old, I now know there is not always a fire where you see smoke. So, I bought it anyway, due to price vs OVERALL rating, and here is a neutral review from, generally, a relatively picky but not obnoxious customer. BATTERY LIFE: if you wanna CLEAN your car, you’re going to be disappointed, and your perception negative, when it comes to this vacuum. My pictures are of the area I use the vac to “KEEP TIDY”. I pick up littler box dust trails and sloppy-kitty-food-eating-spillage all day (maybe 30 seconds of use, about 4x a day). Well, I only charge it every 4 days... and there is still charge left. I really just charge for suction power maintenance. SUCTION: It mainly picks up dust and cat-litter-gravel-leftover, which is trailed 2 feet all around his litter box, as well as about a small hand-full-at-a-time of kitty food (size reference: Blue Buffalo for kittens), each time I use it. That was it’s purpose for purchase. Now, OF COURSE it super sucks hard when u first take it off the charge and, I’d agree it “palpably” reduces in strength within only the first 5 min of usage (that’s a whole days worth of intermittent usage), but by day 3 and 4 you still have way sufficient charge AND suction-power to get the same job done. JUST GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO GARBAGE AND GO A BIT SLOWER... hello! EASY TO CLEAN: In a quick answer, YES. It’s super easy to clean. That being said, if you hate or are allergic to dust, you WILL be fiddling around with lots of it, so FYI. This doesn’t bother me, so 4.5 stars for ease of cleaning. WHAT’S GREAT: Just click the button, canister comes off, empty in trash, dust off with wet paper towel... DONE! I do clean it every evening to help with suction, which extends battery life as well. WHAT SUX: The filter (though a snap to remove) needs to be beat on the trash can wall to get all debris off it and you may have to pick off tiny items that adhere to the felt fibers of the filter. IN THE END: If you’re cool with this, which 90% should be, the whole “cleaning process” is less than 3 min. I’ve counted. For the price, and I’m on Social Security so, there’s really no excuse, it’s been a life saver. I hate little garbage and kitty debris all over, or anywhere on, the floor. This helps me look down, next to my bed, and not feel suffocated by an unnecessary, untidy mess on the floor. “B“ Purchase, overall. “A+“ Purchase, considering price.
