5.0 out of 5 starsI love it
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024
I bought this to replace my old stick vacuum that was strictly for hard floors and my canister vacuum that has something wrong with it and is so loud I get a migraine every time I use it. My old stick vacuum was held together with duct tape and decided it was time. I love this vacuum. It picks up great on both hard floors and carpets. I have 4 cats and it picks up the hair great. Our house is all hard floors except the bedrooms and an area rug in the family room. I love the long power cord on this. I can do the sunroom, kitchen, family room and both hallways without unplugging. I would have to move the plug 6 times with my old stick vacuum. Other than the bedrooms, the only area I can't reach is the laundry room , which is where the litter boxes are, and I just keep the old stick vacuum there to clean up the litter and not get any of that in my new vacuum. The 2 main complaints I read in the reviews are 1, the top heaviness. And it is top heavy. The first time I used it I thought, I'm not sure I like this, and thought I might send it back. But after using it, I got used to it and all the other things I like about it over rode that. If you have strength or mobility issues, this is probably not for you. I tell myself I'm getting a good workout when I use it 😁. The second complaint was that it will not stand up on its own. This doesn't bother me at all because my last stick vacuum, that I've had for probably 8 years, wouldn't either, so I'm used to it. I just lay it down on the floor when I need 2 hands. Not a deal breaker for me. I find I'm vacuuming more because I don't dread it like I used to. Oh, and it's quiet. Compared to my stick vacuum and my super loud cannister vacuum, it's low volume. So much so, that my cats, who would run at the sight of me just bringing out either of the 2 other vacs, will stay in place while I'm vacuuming until I get too close to them.
Emptying the container is easy and getting it back is easy once you learn the trick, need to press the release button while putting it back. The canister is on the small side so needs to be emptied often, but now that I vacuum more, not as much as I did in the beginning. And it is a stick vacuum, you can't expect it to be as large as a regular vacuum. So overall I love this vacuum.
