The vacuum has good suction.
It reaches those hard to get areas.
Love how small this can be. My 2-year-old can get involved since she likes to help out.
The storage container is a nice size.
Attachments
A trigger turns the vacuum on, simply release the trigger to turn it off.
Things To Know
For a battery powered vacuum, this one is pretty powerful. If you’re looking to do everyday cleaning around the house and car then this guy will get the job done. It’s great for cleaning in a typical non-construction environment. It struggles to pick up finer particles like drywall dust, but overall it gets the job done.
Whats the price?
This compact cordless vacuum is listed at $159.00
The Good!
- Good size for everyone in my home.
- Fast charging battery
- Comfort
- Convenience
- Performance
- Versatility
The Bad!
- Doesn’t come with a brush attachment
- The charger is noisy (fans when charging, silence when the battery is fully charged)
- If you’re over 6ft tall this may be on the short side
- Would be nice if there was a switch to turn on instead of a trigger
My thoughts
I love the small footprint I can store it in one of my lower kitchen cabinets. My two-year-old likes to help clean and she cannot keep the trigger squeezed, I believe a switch would have been a better choice.
The specs say it has a 15-minute runtime but it seems to last a lot long longer.
