Value for Money

published

I have bene using the Target Bagless Vacumm cleaner near about an year now and it works flawlessly. With a regular cleaning of the barrel by keeping it dustfree, it gives good results of the carpet after cleaning. Its makes noise but thats normal.Its a great value for money.

Purchased in June 2021 for $79.00.

The head is unstable

published

Not too happy with this vacuum. I'm no engineer so I'm not sure what the issue is. The head seems really wobbly and so the suction isn't really there because it doesn't really get a seal as such. I thought that by not buying a really cheap vacuum that this might be OK but it really isn't worth the money spent. Check out the reviews for other cheap vacuums and make an informed choice based on your individual budget.

Powerful suction, value for money

published

This Target brand vacuum cleaner TBVAC112 is a winner.
The vacuum cleaner that I wanted was sold out, so I bought this model.
It is light, and easy to manoeuvre as well as having very powerful suction.
I use it on my new rugs and it sucks up the shedding wool with ease.
It works well on hard floors too.
Being a budget buy, I do empty and clean and rinse the filters after every use. This takes a mere 2 minutes, and I leave the parts overnight to dry.
Perfect as a smaller space ie apartment cleaner or as a second one for upstairs.

Good basic vacuum

published

While a Dyson would be nice it's not in my price range. I don't expect much from this basic vacuum other than to keep it's suction, not burn out and to last at least 2 years. So far it has met my needs. I cycle vacuuming so that I do one room a day so I hope that helps it's longevity. It's easy to empty, I'm happy with it.

Good one for a small space at the price point.

published

It works well for a small space. Build quality and suction power are relatively good. Sometimes have found it difficult to move around. Given the price and is a bagless vacuum cleaner, it is value for money. I was little skeptical while I bought it, but am satisfied with its sufficient power and quality.

Average but good!

published

This vacuum is super fine if you have a small apartment. I find that the cord length is great you can get around almost everywhere. The sucking power is standard and very random but I love the colour of the vacuum it matches the inside of my apartment so i don't need to rush in hiding it :)

ok for small apartments

published

well, needed to buy a new Vacuum. choose the one from target for around $60 over 1 year ago.
its working ok. didnt expected much and amazing quality.
emptying the container is sometimes a bit disgusting. the filter got blocked twice in a year for some reason.
but was easy to solve.
anyway, good value for the price but not amazing.

Good quality

published

It has great suction, and good performance. Clean things fast and easy, no matter the surface (tiles or carpet). It is a bit hard to maneuver though, cause the pipes are shaped weirdly. It is easily detached as well when you use it. But considering that this is from target, it's actually really good.

Nice vacuum cleaner under budget

published

The vacuum cleaner is good..nicely designed for carpets as well as floor but they have missed the wheel, so it requires additional pressure to clean. Apart from that, after some months, it had started making weird noise. Also this vacuum cleaner needs to be cleaned periodically before new usage. For temporary purpose, one can have it.

Works well. Hope it lasts.

published

I have had this vacuum for several months. It does need to be emptied frequently. The individual parts do seem somewhat brittle so I have been careful not to knock it around too much or in to the skirting boards. It has good suction and I'm happy with it for now.

You get what you pay for.

published

I guess it’s true ‘you get what you pay for.
The Barrel only gets to 1/4 full before you realise half the dirt and hair has clogged up the filters and reduced the suction to next to nothing. Less than a month in the part that you attach the foot to the unit when finished using broke off.
Also it’s very loud (probably amplified by the filter clogging so quick and it gasping for air) it can be turned down which makes it quiet but it also reduces suction to less than it has on maximum which is already hopeless.
Lesson learned and will now spend decent money to get a decent vacuum.

Worked great initially now makes weird noise

published

Good light easy to use vacuum, however, after a few months it started making a weird noise and now suction is not great. Have changed the filter and barrel but doesn't seem to fix the issue. Will look at exchanging this item and see if the replacement works better or the same.

Good little vacuum

published

This is a surprising little machine, it has more power than you would expect, and cleaned my entire unit in one session. It is user friendly and easy to empty, I highly recommend this vacuum to people with a smaller place, that need an easy to use vacuum. Really recommend.

Good Price

published

Good price. Having moved out of the house earlier in the year I had the need to purchase some appliances from Target for my new place. I have been happy with this vacuum. It does get full quickly and needs cleaning often but it does a good job in my small unit.

Great little Vacuum!!

published

Great price for a powerful little machine. You can choose the settings easily and it is user friendly. The suction is powerful and the machine is easy to empty. I love that it is bag less and easy to empty right into the bin.
It is light weight and so easy to carry around.

I went to empty the barrel and everything came apart as I was a little too boisterous banging it on the bin... so I took the opportunity to clean it all... and now can't work out how to put it all back together! Help!

I bought the barrel bag free ($79) I have just assembled it and find it hard to push forward and when you drag it back it kangaroo hops. Have I got one with a faulty head?

You can adjust the suction level. Sometimes the suction is too strong for the carpet and this makes it difficult to push the head along the carpet. I hope this helps.
