Yep. It’ll suck as required

published

If you don’t want or need bells and whistles this is a good cheap solution. The crevice tool is integrated and flips into position. The long handle is removable for using by hand. A utilitarian model that serves its purpose. I mean really? What is happening in the world when we feel the need to flop out a purple headed, overpriced stick to impress our friends and neighbours? I mean REALLY people? Come on. ITS. A. VACUUM.

Quite powerful despite its cheap price

published

We have a very messy bulldog who manages to track dirt inside or knock something over just about every day. This is excellent for quick clean ups in the kitchen area. The cord reaches fine and I can zip it out and deal with things in just a couple of minutes. Its light and easy to move around - easy to empty too. Good buy !

Does what it’s supposed to

published

Lightweight, the wheels make it really easy to move around, good for both tiles and carpet. A steal for 29 dollars if u ask me! I’ve bought it just for my bathroom to pick up hair (cause we have central vacuuming) but I end up using it in the whole house.

Excellent for hard surfaces

published

We use this down at our place in Apollo Bay Its not all that great as a vacuum on carpet but to pick up loose sand in the entrance and hallway - it excels. Its kind of like a powerful dustbuster on a pole, with a cord attached. The cord is a little bit annoying but this one has much more power than the battery version that Kmart sell. Easy to operate and easy to empty. Pretty good!

Great for quick clean ups

published

This is a good "electric broom" I say that because that's how we use it - like a broom that gets use daily and picks up crumbs and dust. You can also use it like amini dustbuster as the pole comes away leaving the dustbuster body. It runs on mains power though so you need to be near a power point. It does really good job for the price and is simple to operate and simple to empty. Good product

Cheap and Good value vacuum

published

I got this vacuum from Kmart and it’s worth the price to keep your room clean. You can also detach it from the main unit and use it as a hand vacuum as well. I’ve made a YouTube video about it on the link below.

This isn’t for big jobs but it will get the job done for cleaning a room or two or three.

The filter is quit small and does tend to get filled up rather quickly and needs emptying frequently by this is all dependent on how dusty your environment is.

Again, it’s not a industrial stregnth vacuum. It’s purely for home use.

Bit cheaply made but works OK

published

To be fair, this is very cheap to buy so I don't expect miracles but you can tell it's made to a price. It is however very lightweight and quick to move around. I don't think it gets fine dust up very well but it is excellent for spills and crumbs etc on hard surfaces - kid of like a broom that collects the dust! Cheap to buy and very handy!

Gets Used Evey Day

published

We use this to give a daily once over to the entrance area. It's light and fast and is perfect for cleaning up little autumn leaves that fall in our street. I prefer it because it's quick and I don't have to get out the big vacuum. Its also easy and fast to empty. Overall a good unit and cheap to purchase.

Good for a basic model

published

This ain't no Dyson but it does a good job with incidental spills in everyday life. I like it because it was cheap and it saves me pulling out the big heavy vacuum just for a small spill. It's very light and easy to maneuver and easy to empty. Suction is adequate for the purpose but not that world beating!

Better than the more expensive and stronger product!

published

Absolutely love this vacuum! I originally bought the $89 bagless vac from Kmart which was meant to be as good as a dyson. That turned out to be rubbish. It was noisy and didn't pick anything up. I then went and bought this $29 corded stick vac and it pick everything up off the carpet and tiles. Its 100% better than the more expensive vac thats for sure! Very happy with my purchase.

Handy on the floorboards and tiles

published

This thing does great on the tiles and floorboards. I think of it like an electric broom that sucks! It does and awesome job with loose sand and crumbs. On carpet its OK but not as god as a full sized vacuum. It could use a slightly longer cord but overall I got no complaints about the construction - especially for the price.

it is OK

published

I heard of this product when I browse an online shopping products comparison website. The website compared this product and Dyson, said this one had all features of Dyson however only one third of its price. However the quality is not that beautiful. It is easy and handy to use and store.

Perfect

published

I am not into brands. Paid $50 for it and its great on wooden floors. Quick clean for baby. Not recommend for carpets and heavy cleans. It's just for quick sweep. Recommend for hard floors. Charging dock doesn't take much space either. And very easy to clean and store away :)

Great For Quick Tidy Ups

published

This thing is marvelous for quick tidy ups around the house. I use it nearly every day, mostly in the kitchen and halls which are floorboards. It saves me having to do a full vacuum until the weekend which is good. Its best for crumbs and dust, not quite as effective on the carpet. Its easy to use and empty and cheap to buy.

Good till it stopped working

published

This vacume was great until 1 week out of warranty it stoped working. Took it back to Kmart which refused to do anything about it. So we won't be ever shopping at Kmart again! The vac did a great job on our floors and the cable was long enough to do our house

I love this

published

Super affordable little vacuum that stores easily. I just leave it standing in the corner of my room. It's a simple white design and doesn't look ugly at all, even if you leave it in plain sight. Has handy hooks to wind the cord. I hated pulling out my old, massive vacuum cleaner so this lightweight Kmart one has been excellent.

Best for quick clean ups on hard floors, does a decent job on low pile carpet. Easy to take apart and clean. Would recommend if your house is on the smaller side. I am really happy with this purchase and what used to be a chore is now a pleasure

Pretty good

published

Bought it for easy vacuuming around the house without dragging the larger vacuum out. Very good for its price ($29) and has quite good power, vacuuming up dust, hair and all! The handheld option is great for vacuuming the car and corners on the ceiling of the house.

It's quite loud and looks a bit cheap but it still does the job. It's a little messy cleaning out the trash compartment and the dust filter but otherwise it's a fantastic, cheap option!

You get what you pay for

published

We were looking for a cheap no frills vacuum to use in the tiled living room. Does the job, suction is ok for its price but you obviously get what you pay for - it’s really loud and clunky. Don’t think it worked very well on our carpets though. Will only use on tiles or floorboards.

Meh..

Needed something for the kids play area and car. Pros were it was very easy to use small for quick easy areas, but unfortunately it Was very loud had to empty after every use. Didn't like the suction, but I guess with the price you pay it not too bad.

Do the job

published

It works very well with my weak wrists. Because you don't need to hold a bottom to operate vacuume. It is light and easy to use and battery charge last to clean my 4 bed room house, sucks reasonably well on house dust and hair, but it would be tricky to suck long or around shape objects like elastic band, pips pop corn. I am using this all the time instead of normal vacuume cleaner. This vacuume cleaner is definitely worth for money.

It does, but if your after something powerful under $200 the Hoover Essential Upright Vacuum cleaner works better than the industrial vacuums l use at work . ( it’s not cordless but it’s very powerful)

It’s probably a really dumb q, but for the 2 in 1 Corded Stick Vacuum how do you remove the floor attachment?
It is not in the manual, it just says if you want to use the hand held vacuum you can leave the floor attachment on or take it off. Do you just pull it out? Thanks in advance :)

Not a silly question at all, l was confused at first too, there is a silver button at the back of the floor attachment.:)
