Good for inbetwen Vacs but have to clean head or it ceases to function

published

Purchased from Godferys, Nov 2016. Works well but head needs to be dismantled & roller cleaned on regular basis or performance declines dramatically. Has tendency for dust to accumulate in wand so have to pull apart to clean. Is light, easy to maneuver but noisy. Works OK on timber & carpet when it isn't clogged up.

I'm quite smitten with this machine.

published

This is the best vac I have ever used! It is light, compact and just amazing! It is powerful enough to vac up all the dust and dirt in the carpet, yet, miraculously does not pull up the rug when I vac it. I don't even understand how it does that! It's defying science! Great machine and only about a third of the price of a dyson.

Great for those quick clean-ups!

published

I purchased this after seeing a promotion on TV for half price at $149 over the weekend so I raced on down to Godfreys and bought one. Was so impressed with it I purchased another one the next day for my son and his wife. So much better than getting out the bigger vacuum and setting it up. Works really good. I have dogs and a mixture of hard floors and carpets.

Was good

published

Began with as being a great vacuum until the power head stopped working. The vacuum was great at clearing up all my dogs hair cleaning under furniture window sills and the car and all other hard to reach places. It it take a while to recharge after going flat. The power head stopped working and was covered under warranty dirt git into the electical connections which is a fault in the design.

Good kitty litter spreader

published

Terrible on timber floors. Flicks kitty litter all over the room instead of sucking it up. What it does suck up drops out when turned off. Not enough power to pull it into canister. So before turning off have to point it upwards so litter drops into canister. Works better on carpet but still not great.

Great and easy!

published

Firstly I should say thank you to everyone here for leaving reviews here. I purchased it after checking review here and tried at Godfrey. Wherever I went, everyone recommended only expensive Dyson, but I wanted to try out cheaper version as my 1st stick vacuum.

It's working good on hard wooden floor without scrach as well as carpets in the rooms. I can work on this every 2nd day as quick job. With this stick vacuum my little 6yo boy helps me whenever he drops crumbs of his biscuits or chips. So far I'm very happy to use even with half price!

Easy to get out the roller and scrap out hairs as my hairs are so long. Also the filter can be washed in watm water but should be totally dried out before putting back.

Great cordless vacuum that punches above it's weight!

published

This is quite a powerful cordless vacuum that's great for quick clean ups around the house every few days. Works well on carpet, tile and wooden floors and the battery lasts longer than expected. Don't think it's worth the retail price of $300 as the quality of the plastic body feels a bit cheap but when it goes on sale for half price every now and then it's a bargain at $150 or less!

Stick Vac

published

Fantastic little machine..Great suction..Easy to use very light and has a great battery life..Also has a continuous button so you dont have to hold to the on button down.....I use it on wood carpet and lino..Battery life is approx 30 mins ..I would recommend this for older people as it is so light. .Also a great price purchased from Godfreys at a fraction of the price of the other models...

I wuv me vac

published

Really powerful & easy to use... Just dont vac within 30 cms of a sock or you'll realise why they never match. Figured out if the unit ever stops, it means the rollers at the bottom ain't turning and u just re adjust it. Bought one for mum and one for me... we are both very happy

Who needs a Dyson?

published

For gods sake, people stop spending money on Dyson. My Dyson stick gave up the ghost after 3 years. Just stopped working. I was looking for a replacement and low and behold, discovered this little beauty. Aesthetic is actually sexier than my weird reddish Dyson. Yes, sexy! Now I have just potted some plants at home and got potting
mix all over the place (don't ask) anyway, having used my higher Hoover earlier, I did not want to pull it out again. So off to Godfreys I went and unpacked this little beauty and used ur factory charge to clean up after myself. Suction, manoeuvrability and effectiveness, all 10. Don't second guess yourselves people, just buy it.

So good we bought three ...

published

No, we're not mad. We bought two for ourselves, and one for our daughter. All were $149 from Godfreys, and were advertised as being half price. We got one, and then the other two once we saw how good it was.

We use one at our beach house, and it's good at picking up sand etc on hard floors. It's a big house, but no issues with length of charge. Not yet, anyway!

Compared to Dyson, these are just as good and half the price. Perfect for hard floors and dog hair. Easy to put together, charge and store.

Cant live without it

Very easy to use over large tiles and light to maneuver. Is very quiet and has extra attachments that also comes with it to get in the corners if need be. Battery lasts for a week before needing to recharged . Quick and easy to use and would now be lost without it.

Efficient for the price but don't expect cleaning to be fast and detailed.

published

Vacuums are like families we are responsible for our own destiny and when we all make that one important purchase we must leave no stone unturned in ensuring we make life's domain as clean and hygienic as possible. I purchased a hand held Hoover for smaller spaces around the house along with car cleaning duties and l find that even though it's not the most powerful it does the job efficiently. It is above average for the price and power and can be used by anyone who can hold minimum weight restrictions..in simple terms it's not for a fully fledged house clean but a nifty little brother who does what you require.

Sometimes you get better than what you pay for

published

What a great little vacuum cleaner. Paid only $49. Little ripper. We all prefer using it to the big Dyson I have considered the Dyson handheld but after our experience with the big vac I was reluctant to spend the money. For $49 I could hardly go wrong. It does overheat If I try to do more than 3 rooms but for a quick whip around the kitchen family room it's perfect. Really easy to manoeuvre, a tad loud but no more than other vacs. Love it.

Hi Kylee,
There may be an issue with the battery, PCB or charger.
We would recommend taking the machine into your nearest Godfreys store, when the re-open, to be booked in for further inspection.
