Really Good Bagless Suction

published

This Vacuum has great power from the motor. The filter only needs to be cleaned once a month, vacuum canister is easy to clean also. Vacuum keeps the dust inside instead of it leaking from a bag. The body is light and durable going around corners, edges and tiles. I really am happy with this model.

Does the job, good value for money

published

I was looking for an alternative bagless vacuum cleaner that is not Dyson as they are overpriced I feel. The suction is good and it is easy to maneuver. The amazing thing is that it will not lose suction as it is bagless. However, it may be slightly too loud for my liking. Works great on carpet and tiles (Kitchens). For the price I paid for and what it can do, I really can't complain. It is good for what I paid for. Overall, I am happy.

This is the second one I have brought and cannot praise the vacum cleaner high enough that I have encouraged my son and his partner to buiy one - the suctioning is good and it is so light weight. Due to living on a property with plenty of dust - my vacum is so reliable

GREAT MACHINE - best i've used

published

Great powerful machine that effortlessly sucks up all manner of rubbish on wood floors, carpets and tiles. Also has a filter so the air is not smelly as a result. Easy to empty canister and all filters easy to access. Also easy to take apart and pack away. Definitely a great machine. Beats anything I have used kn the last 20 years !!

Amazing value for money!

published

I just hope this little beast never loses its suction because it's just amazing! Sure you could get much better if you pay more but for $150 this is a great vacuum cleaner that does the job. I personally like that it's not bulky and too noisy and as mentioned suction is much more powerful than most of the other 1800w models.

Great long term performance!

published

Been using this vacuum for the last 2 years in our 3 bed carpeted house. The vacuum is really good, consistent and has very strong suction. It’s easy to rinse and clean after every run so there’s really no excuse to complain about lack of power after a few uses. a little dish soap gets rid of all the dust off from the canister.

I’m always surprised by the amount of dust and dirt this vacuum sucks up. The Hepa filter replacement is not in stock always so I bought 2 together in April this year from Target online and replaced the one built in after 15 months continuous use.

This vacuum is now good as new and still sucks up everything in its way!

Perfect. Great suction.

published

Love, Love, Love this vacuum. Never loses suction (other than when its full, or filters need cleaning). Quite easy to clean filters. Basic wash, i usually wash every 2/3 vacuums to keep it in great condition.
Light weight, easy to maneuver, not to loud either.
Have both carpet and floor boards. Fairly average area sizes.
Best vacuum, have owned for over 2 years now.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Demo model still working strong

published

During a Godfreys sale was on search for another brand that sold out. Was shown this model but there was only the display model left. That was nearly 2 years ago. This lil' machine is still running as good as new. The 1800 Watt motor out performs the replaced 2400 Watt Hoover. Have only replaced a filter once in the time since then. Just tap the filter lightly after emptying the canister. Generous power cable makes maneuvering simple. Very pleased.

Cons - Plastics and attachments aren't as premium as they could be
Filters not as widely available in retail stores

Great little vacuum

published

Very happy with my purchase.
I researched medium sized vacuums for my carpeted areas upstairs for a while until I decided to go this machine.
It's quite powerful for its size. I used it a couple of times a week as my little kids play and eat on the carpeted area.
Apart from finding the handle slightly awkward (a bit too upright), the machine does a great job every time. I can the amount of dust it's removed after each vacuum. Very impressive.
I always use the tile setup (the brush pressed down). It works well on my tiled area and even better on the carpet. This requires a bit more effort to move the head around but it removes all the hair off the carpet. I have a think woolen carpet so it ends up looking very fresh after each vacuum!

Great little cleaner!

published

This vac is really good value for money. Its compact, easy to use and gives good suction. Its filters are easy to wash out, and the bagless system is super easy to empty. I find it easy to do my 4 bedroom house as its light weight and holds a good amount of dust. I'm sure there are better vacs out there, but they would cost a few hundred more. For me, this one has been great!

Great little sucker

published

Very strong suction, sometimes lifts the carpet it tries so hard! It does unfortunately suck up all kinds of things, like curtains and blankets from afar because it is so strong. It is light, but not the easiest to move around, constantly flipping itself when turning. I find it easier to just carry the thing by its handle to the vacuum destination. I'm only cleaning a small 2 bedroom unit though, so this problem may be amplified in larger houses. The filter is a bit of a pain to clean, but considering I don't have to deal with bags anymore, thats quite fine by me.

Decent price for a decent vacuum

published

Never needed a exspensive vacuum due to living alone though this product exceeds its value, high powered, durable and easy to move. Only negative is the noise which can turn very high pitched if the barrel is slightly out of place ! Clean my house which is carpet perfectly and also my car so don't have to pay for car cleaning services every month or so.

Because of my immune deficiency the vacuum has been a god send
It is worth every cent i paid.i would recommend people with disabilities as well to use.because it is light and very flexible for someone in a wheelchair to give them more independence they can save money on cleaners.
Also the cost is compatible with our pension payments.

Filters need frequent cleaning to maintain strong suction

published

The suction is good initially but the filters need to be cleaned after each use to maintain it. This is a pretty gross and time consuming task, so I can't say I'm that impressed with that aspect. The cord is very long, which is a welcome change from most vacuums. Pretty good for the price.

Very poor product

published

Suction is lousy im fact there isnt any. Crappy product doesnt do its job. Terrible. The lead is very long tho. So you vsn use just one socket for the whole of downstairs. And tbe same for upstairs. Its just a shame that the suction is so poor as otherwise it would be good.

It is good on tiles but not good on carpets

published

My Dyson upright vacuum cleaner was being serviced and I thought I would get this vacuum cleaner for the time being. I have dogs and this vacuum cleaner did NOTHING to suck up the dog hairs - especially on the carpets. My cordless Dyson does a better job than this one one carpets.

I suppose for the price one can't expect too much

work well

this vacuum cleaner has been well used for a few years.Although, it can be slightly bulky to maneouvre, the suction power becomes powerful again after the dust//dirt container has been emptied. Additionally, the filter and sponge need to be dusted and washed occasionally. Satisfied with the performance for the discounted price that it was purchased at
