Useless!

published

Thought I’d give a got as decent reviews, boy was I wrong. I’ve had about two months. House is all tiled. Suction is ridiculous, doesn’t pick up much. The brush fails to move, getting stuck with hair. Frustrating when you just want a clean floor. Will never buy s vacuum from Kmart again. $100 that could of been spend on a decent one. Waste of time.

Much like a Dyson

published

This looks much like a Dyson but a fraction of the price. I use it to spot clean all kinds of places around the house and then do a bg vacuum on the weekend. Its easy as pie to use and emptying the dust out is simple too. I get a wet paper towel and wipe it down because it always ends up having some cling to the body. Its a good vacuum.

EDIT WASTE OF MONEY

published

I bought this on a recommendation from a friend to help save me time. I use it on lino and carpet area plus a few rugs. I wouldn't go throwing out my big vacuum but it's great for small mess. It's light charges a lot quicker then the instructions state.

EDIT after a few months it broke never worked again lost suction then died. Kmart only part refunded me seriously unimpressed. Next time I'll spend a bit more money. Lasted about 3 mths

Great for the price

published

I bought this the other day after reading mixed reviews. So far i haven't any major issues. Its great for hard floors and carpets. Its obviously not as good as a dyson but its great for quickly grabbing and vacuuming up the crumbs from 2 very messy toddlers. Love it.

Addicted to vacuum cleaning

published

Even the kids can do it because its so convenient and easy. It doesn't have head if power but if you keep it emptied after every use it sucks better. I have a big house and can almost get it all done. But usually just do sections at a time. Its easy to use and you don't have to hold your finger on the button

Great for the hard surfaces

published

I use this in addition to giving the house a thorough, proper vacuuming once a week. I use it for the little clean ups here and there that occur. Its always charged and ready to go and I find it works very well indeed. Easy to empty the dust bin and light enough to use without tiring. It's a good machine!

Love it, picks up the dog hair!

published

Bought a few months ago for the sole purpose of picking up my dog’s hair from the carpet as my current vacuum just wasn’t doing a good job. I was worried due to it being on the cheaper side as Kmart usually is, but it’s been fantastic at picking up the dog hair. Really pleased

Value for money

published

I’ve had mine 2 months now. I originally bought it to vacuum up the sand my grandson was bringing in from the sandpit. I love it. I use it everyday. I have a 4 bdrm 2 lounge,, dining and study. Big house. New carpet. It does it all. I never run out of battery. Compact and easy to use. I use the big vac once in a while. can’t recommend it highly enough. A very pleasant surprise.

The best carpet cleaner iv'e ever had

published

Carpet. Tiles. Picks up all the dog hair. Is easy to use. Always ready to go. No cord dragging around with the vacuum cleaner. And the best part is it was only $59. Makes vacuuming breeze. Packs away against the wall out of the way. I'm really pleased with my Kmart battery operated stick vacuum

Good for the quick vacuum.

published

I have slate floors and timber floor which get dusty, I wanted an easy cheap vacuum for those days when you don’t want to drag the big vacuum out. I don’t have carpets so this is perfect for floor boards and slate. For the price of $99 it’s great value for money.

Easy and convenient

published

It is easy to use, can be at hand and it has no cords and can be very handy for small places. I keep it in the kitchen to clean the mess and it works for me. The Kmart is great and also very inexpensive and affordable and worth trying. It is a fast way to clean and not to worry about cords and getting out the vac

Like all vacuum cleaners they will loose suction if you do not pull them a part, and clean out the filter. The filter can be washed, I clean it at least weekly, they do get a lot of fluff on them. This should also help with the suction.

Best mum with baby or toddler tool

published

My little one isn’t great at sleeping while the vaccuum is running around the house... who would be? But he also is an absolute pain to vaccuum with . But the stick takes the big machine and cords out of the equation. It only takes 5-10 minutes to run through the whole house in the evening as part of our clean up routine. For the main areas it means I can mop more frequently. The carpets don’t get as messy. I still pull out the Dyson on the carpets once a week because it’s not a replacement for a deep clean. And for the price tag! Why wouldn’t you? I love this thing.

Eat My Dirt, Vacuum

published

Really pleased with this $99 vacuum.

Compared a number of stick vacuums and most cost over $300. I wasn't prepared to spend a lot of money on an item I might not like or use. Decided on the Kmart brand.

We have floor boards, carpet and tiles in our home. Single storey, three bedrooms, one and half bath and it completes without needing a recharge. Picks up a lot of stuff and for a quick vacuum, works great.

Need to empty after each full vacuum but that is easy straight into the bin.

My vacuum stopped working all of a sudden, it turns on for a brief 5 seconds and turns off. It also has a red flashing light on the battery pack. Please advise what to do?

If it is under warranty (usually has 1year warranty) take it back to Kmart, they will replace it. Or refund you the money. They usually ask for its receipt, but even if you don't have receipt, they should change it because it's there home brands. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a battery problem. Once my vaccum is charged I take it off charge and when I use it I make sure to drain the battery so I can fully charge it again. I hope this helps.

Sounds like either your charger or battery has failed. Could also be dirty or corroded contacts preventing proper charging. Make sure the charger plug is seated all the way in the socket and also not loose. Try twisting the plug inside the socket to establish better contact. According to Dyson V6 Stick vac support.....A solid amber light indicates that the battery is not charging due to a temporary fault (e.g. too hot/cold). If this fails time for a new one. But go for one of the new Dysons this time. Chalk and cheese. The VC101 pales into insignificance compared with a real Dyson Vac Stick. Good luck!
