OK vacuum cleaner

published

It has its good and bad sides. It isn't too expensive and would be a good choice for a rental apartment if you are not planning to keep it for long. It's bagless so more hygienic, you just have to empty and wash it regularly. It's not too noisy and quite light. Now a downside - after a while a handle fell off so had to put a duct tape over it which wasn't too bad. Also after a few month it started to smell bad when operating (as mentioned I emptied and washed it after every use so not sure why it happened). Overall is an OK product for its price for temporary use.

This is a great little vacuum cleaning. It is a great size for my little home. It is easy to use and gets into small spaces. The vacuum is very easy to maneuver on both carpet and venal. I would recommended this product to friends and family with out hesitation

Was ok but you need to empty often.

published

It's ok with suction, it's very light and somewhat quiet (for a vacuum cleaner!) vacs up dirt on both my carpet and tiles, also does well on the concrete in my garage! But the issue is the cord isn't very long and I found that I had to use and extension cord to get around my house!

Not happy

published

When i first bought it i thought great, no more bags to put in. But after the first use and going to empty it... what a drama. It has to be perfectly lined up to put it back together and if you're in a rush forget it.... as it can take up to 20 mins to put it back. Wont make that mistake again.

Great product, great price.

published

Our vacuum had recently broken down and living with 5 people, floors can get very dusty very quickly. This vacuum does great on wooden, tiled and carpeted floors with different attachments to suit your needs. It's not the quietest vacuum but it is very easy to maneuver and also very easy to clean.

Decent Vacuum at Low price - Well done Kmart

published

After only having this vacuum for 3 months, my review on it is that is its decent at a low price. Performance & Suction on carpet is good. Works well on tiles flooring as well. The vacuum is relatively quiet as far as vacuums are concerned. The cord has decent reach as well. I add an extension cord to all of my vacuums to avoid having to disconnect and reconnect in every zone of the home, makes it easier to maneuver.

Very surprised

published

Picked up one of these just to run around house. My house is all wood and tiles and this just sucks everything up. It's feels sturdy and is easy and to empty and clean, once you line it up right.

For the cost of this I find it a great unit . It also doesn't seem to block easy and hasn't lost power since we brought it.

Read reviews it was worth every penny

published

I've got a hand held dyson for my work and it has been excellent, to be honest it's the best vacuum cleaner I've had but it is too expensive. I read a friend raving about this vacuum on facebook and thought it was worth a gamble (I've gotten my hands burnt with cheap crap from Kmart before) but it's been excellent. IT loses sunction when the container is about 2/3rds full but other than that it's excellent.

Great for the price

published

It's wonderful for it's price.

I live in a 2 bedroom unit with a rabbit and its suction has been great so far. I use it on floorboards, tiles and carpet, great on all of them.

It is lightweight, not super loud. Great quality for its price and seems like it'll last a while.

Affordable but not reliable

published

This particular vacuum actually broke less than 3 weeks after purchase . The suction was terrific & the bagless chamber made for easy disposal . However because the pipe broke away we had to return it .
It wasn't from incorrect storage or use, medium size residence with mid grade carpet plush .

Ok for the price.

published

Bough it as I needed a vacuum cleaner quickly and it was one of the cheapest one. Is decent, takes a while to actually vacuum out stuff that are kind of stuck in the carpet. Got a new Dyson vacuum afterwards and can clearly see the difference in suction power, however if people are looking for a cheap vacuum that does its job this will do, and it is light to carry too so bonus points

Amazing vacuum for the price. Strong suction power & very easy to pack aside and assemble quickly. Easy to clean as it is bagless and the instructions are easy to follow. Effective and efficient at a low price and it is a must buy for anyone on a tight budget.

This sucks! In a good way :)

published

This has been a great vacuum cleaner so far. I needed a replacement after my Big W one stopped working just when the warranty ended. It has good suction. It comes apart and goes back together easily to empty. A few whacks over a bin and it's good to go again. Hopefully it lasts.

Good price and good vacuum

published

It's lightweight which I like and has very good suction. Vacuums carpet and tiles with ease and easy to empty. Also easy to clean filter. Good length on the tubes but cord length could be longer. Great value for money, especially if you are on a tight budget. Highly recommend it

Fantastic

published

For a cheap 50 dollar vacuum it has a lot of suction and did great work. Definitely worth. Especially the more expensive ones from kmart.

Comes with an easy to clean filter that you unclip or unlock that tips all dirt out

A long cord to reach far away. .

Can't believe the suction

published

Had a $600 upright previously. This puts it to shame. The power head gets cat hair and more dirt out of carpet than ever. Had to empty three times first time I used it. I am so impressed. Great value for money. Easy to empty. Is a little noisy but suction is so good I guess that's why.

It sucks good

published

I bought this to replace my old vacuum, which had lost its suction power. This model does a good job of vacuuming my carpets clean and I hope the suction lasts for a while yet. It's easy to move around when I'm vacuuming, the noise is acceptable and light enough for me to bring it upstairs. I regularly vacuum the upper part of my house as it's carpeted and occasionally vacuum downstairs as it's tiled. Overall, it's a good purchase that keeps my house clean for visitors.

Cheap, reliable, does the job

published

Happy with the performance and suction, able to get long hair out of the carpets. Has slight plastic-y smell when using however not malodorous.
It is quite loud however, and only okay in terms of maneuverability. Tube sometimes gets blocked/tangled due to thin plastic twisting back on itself.
I have vacuumed on carpet and tiles and effective on both, however vacuuming very small apartment.
Dust canister is simple to empty.
Overall great for the cost and has lasted me 5 years and still going strong.

Take the receipt and go to kmart store and exchange it. They should just give you a new one. My one still works good

Did anyone else's vacuum just suddenly stop turning on?

1 answer

Have you emptied the rubbish out and cleared the hose of all dust & rubbish, or if you have used the vacuum for more than 30mins of continues usage, can overheat if rubbish bag is full. Empty after each vacuum, free from dust.

Can it draw water?

1 answer

No, just a normal dry clean vacuum. You need a Wet & Dry Vaccum.
