Won’t replace your upright vacuum
Overall:
There are things I like about this and things I really didn’t. This won’t replace your upright vacuum. Due to the short battery life and okay cleaning ability, I would not find this practical for my home.
Cons:
-Depending on the cleaning mode, this lasts between 10 to 40 minutes on a full charge. 10 minutes on boost mode, 20 minutes on carpet, 25 minutes on bare floor, and 40 minutes in hand vac mode. I was only able to do 900 sq ft of my home, before this died out. Charging takes about 3 hours.
-While the accessories are nice, they don’t come in a case or bag to store them, so in addition to the charger, you have loose pieces that you now have to put somewhere. They suggest buying a drawstring bag from their online store in the manual.
-I am 6 foot, and this vacuum is a little too short for me. I find I have to crouch a little when using it, which gives me a sore back by the time I am done.
-Since the vacuum doesn’t have much weight on the bottom, when you walk backwards or pull the vacuum back to you, the head will often pull up off the carpet, losing the suction. This may also be due to my height.
-The marketing picture shows the cleaning head is made of fins, but it is a mixture of bristles and fins.
-Overall, the cleaning ability was lower than what I would expect for the price. After cleaning my whole house with this, I immediately sent my robo vacuum out, and it filled up a third of its dust bin, indicating that this vacuum missed quite a bit. Also, my house was very clean to begin with.
-Using this for 25 minutes, my wrists became tired. This is because the weight is now at the top of the vacuum. This doesn’t normally happen to me when I vacuum.
-This vacuum can not support itself upright when fully assembled. Therefore, if you have to stop to move something or answer the phone, you need to lean it up against something or lay it down.
Pros:
-The battery and dustbin detach easily and can be hung near the base for convenient storage.
-This can get places an upright vacuum can’t, like partially under a couch.
-It is easy to clean out the dustbin.
-Easy to assemble and disassemble.
-The cordless feature is nice since you don’t have to navigate around the house with a cord.
