Reason I purchased this vacuum cleaner: For daily/in between main cleaning maintenance of pet (multi cat household) and main entrance area and to retire the broom. I have been using this cordless Vacuum cleaner for 5 weeks now on a daily basis and really put it through the test (Toddler, husband dragging in construction type dirt, and multi cat household). The type of floors I am using it on are: Tile, low fiber rug, fake astro turf (small cat area), wood, and laminate flooring. The area (battery life and travel): In-law suite/downstairs finished basement with separate entry door (living area, kitchen type area with animal feeding station, bathroom with 3 litter boxes, and stairs & landing Type of dirt: Litter, cat hair, outside dirt like stones, sand, concrete debris (my husbands work brought home), dry cat food kibbles, cardboard scratch debris, cat claw debris Usage: Daily for about 30 mins (and if my almost 2 year old wants it up to an hour) Here are my findings based on the type of dirt and usage listed above: PROS: 1) It is lightweight and easy to handle 2) The head swivels, making it easy with turns and corners 3) The LED lights make it easy to identify dirt, especially in low lid areas 4) Easy assembly 5) Quick to charge, simple and easy charger connection. 6) Good Battery life. Battery holds charge for at least an hour and it dings (indicator) when the battery starts wearing down. It also cuts off automatically once the battery is too low. 7) Push of a button easy removal of handheld unit 8) Easy to clean out 9) 2 Power settings (you push the on button twice - 1 time for the low suction setting and a 2nd time to increase suction power. Please note the increase in power is minimal) 10) It was able to handle multiple floor types (tile, laminate flooring, low fiber rugs, and a green fake grass high fiber rug in my cat area) when it was working great for the 1st 4 weeks (see cons below). CONS: (reason for the 2 Star rating): 1) After 4 weeks, the little rubber flap inside the handheld unit (designed to keep the dirt in the collection chamber) wore out and releases heavier dirt like litter stones) back onto the floor. It just doesnt close at tight as on the beginning. 2) The red filter can be unscrewed into 2 parts to make cleaning out debris caught between the unit easier. But be aware to make sure to screw it back correctly, because it is a bit tedious to line up the filter at the opening in the collection unit. It took me a while to determine the best method. If it doesnt line up exactly, the handheld canister will not close. 3) the silver paint started to wear off on the hand held unit (given only cosmetic and minor) 4) The 2nd power setting (higher suction level) is no longer effective to collect the litter and animal food droppings. 5) The litter or any other heavier debris I vacuum up, gets caught in the brush and if the unit is turned off, it all falls back out onto the floor or if on it kicks/flings back out onto the floor. This, in connection with the white rubber flap inside the collection unit and the ineffective higher suction power setting, makes it frustrating to use the unit, as it undoes all the vacuum and the reason for my star deduction. 6) To work around problem #5, I tried using the handheld unit to collect the debris pile back up and since it doesnt have enough suction under power level 2, it is ineffective and I have to revert back to using the sweeper. Please keep in mind: The collection chamber is small - so if you have more dirt as usual either multiple clean out is necessary or the main vacuum will have to be used. This unit is designed for light clean up only or daily maintenance in small areas. I wish I could provide a video but the area is too large and the video would have been too long (and my camera man aka husband wasnt available). It was a good little vacuum cleaner for 4 weeks and I was happy. Now it is a just a busy tool for my almost 2 year old boy, since the suction does not serve its purpose to assist with the daily cleaning in my needed areas. I am disappointed, since I was really hoping I had found the perfect tool to retire that broom and cut my cleaning time down. Summary: The vacuum cleaner is good if one does not deal with heavy dirt distribution such as litter, food kibbles (not being collected off the floor at all due to lower suction power), or pebbles from the outside. It still takes up cat hair, sand, and lint as it isnt heavy enough to get either released back out to the floor through the flap or not sucked up at all. Recommendation: Yes, if you dont have pets and heavy traveled areas. Otherwise, stick with a broom or heavy duty vacuum unit.

Purchased 20 months ago, it works well on hard and carpeted floors as well as the detachable hand unit. The led lights are very helpful. A month ago the lights and roller stopped working when swiveling to one side. After inspection I found that one of the wires in the lower swiveling unit was about to break. Contacted support since there is a 2 year warranty. They were very responsive although I had to follow up twice to find out the status. In less than a week I had a completely new unit at my door. I give it a thumbs up.

This cordless vacuum has the best suction of any that Ive seen with its High-Power Rechargeable Li-ion battery and Handheld Vacuum. It is also designed well with LED lighting that actually lights up the area in front of the vacuum and its easy to return the charging base and it comes with AC adapter.

I had an Anchor (Euphy) for many years and loved it. When the battery died it could not be replaced. The new vacuum is good but the canister is smaller and the charging base does not attach to the wall as I prefer. It is quieter than the old one. The battery on this one is replaceable which is good. I hope it all lasts as long as the previous one.

Purchased this vacuum for its decent lasting battery, price and vacuum suction. It will not pick up things like small screws even Manuel guide states not to for it might damage the unit. It did pick up a lot of dust and pet hair pretty good. I also like that I can remove the vacuum to use as small portable one. Used it for 35 minutes and it still had charge to continue vacuuming. I compared it to the $99 black and decker and this one was cheaper and works about the same because I owned one before and had to purchase another one for it stop working after 2 years so getting an extra warranty is a good thing to do. I gave it 4 stars for good price and quality.

*UPDATE 2.0 BELOW* I LOVED it when I first got it, now I just like it. The versatility of a handheld and a cordless upright vacuum is great, but I think that takes away from its suction power. It wont even do a good job of picking up a small piece of dog kibble off the floor. Also, hair and what not gets totally wrapped around the brush barrel and it took me almost an hour just to figure out how to take it apart to clean it. I dont think the instructions I ended up finding were for the vacuum but it helped more than the actual manual that came with the vacuum. Taking it apart to empty the canister is also a little much as the filter doesnt always come out and go back easily and things do get stuck and clogged that are hard to pull out with all the pieces and parts. The battery life is great though and I love how it swivels pretty well on hardwood. The rubber bumpers are a bit annoying though as it makes it hard to go along the wall without it constantly catching. UPDATE: This product just keeps getting worse and worse. It hardly even sucks anything up anymore and all the rubber parts on it are becoming detached. Ive taken it apart several times now to un tangle hair around the brush and it still doesnt help. UPDATE 2.0: This company is actually super awesome. They were very responsive and super helpful and obviously stand behind their product. After realizing the vacuum came with a warranty, I got in touch with them and tried fixing the issues I was having with it. After being unable to resolve the problems, they sent me a message saying that they were going to send me a completely brand new replacement. Gotta respect customer service like that. A+

This is great for cleaning , and vacuuming , specially if your in you 60`s and just can`t lift and push those big vacuums any more. With out putting your back out.. this machine cleans every bit as good as my Kirby.

We got this for our cabin. Its busy at times ad this works great on our hard woods and carpet. This is perfect for a small place. We use a solar generator and it keeps this charged with our using much of that power at all. Its great also because the body of the upright vacuum pops off easily to be used as a hand held. This isnt going to work well for heavy duty household work but good for a cabin, RV, studio, one bedriom place. No bags needed. You simply empty the cup into the trash. Take top off over a trash can for avoid spilling. We love it!

I like the easy vacuuming with this product but it is very difficult and cumbersome to empty.

Edit 2: Vacuum number two is still working so far. However I wish the company would have included a little brush to use to get inside the cyclone tube for cleaning. It gets clogged very easily and I have to jam my fingers inside of it to remove the pet hair that coils up inside. Reassembling after cleaning it is a trick too. All pieces have to be completely aligned or it wont snap together properly. This is my second vacuum. The first one quit working after about 3 weeks. It would not hold a charge. So it went back and the company sent me a replacement. Customer service was very prompt and helpful. Hoping this one works! Works right out of the box. The device was really easy to set up and use. Easy to navigate too. Emptying the cannister is a little weird, I couldnt get the filter to align again after I emptied it out but I finally got it back together. I bought this so we would have an extra vac for upstairs and it works well enough. Not as powerful as my regular vac but its got enough suction to do the job. I also purchased this so we have a hand held vac for our cars. Havent tried it yet but I think it will work just fine. Overall, quite good value for the price!!
