I'm not totally on board with this machine, but I'm also cheap and already have multiple other cleaning machines (Bisell carpet cleaner, Dyson corded vacuum, steam cleaner, corded hand held Dirt Devil, shop vac), so this machine fills a niche for cordless convenience in our house. Still, not sure that I’m totally sold on this. If you’re really looking a deep cleaner for a fully carpeted single home over 1700 sq ft and this is going to be your ONLY vacuum, I suggest going with a more expensive cordless vacuum or one with interchangeable battery pack. My aunt has the more expensive model with the bendable wand and it is a lot more powerful (and louder). She also has three spare batteries for it. If you’re just looking for a surface clean and some dusting, this does the job nicely. If you live in a 900 sq ft apartment, this will be probably be awesome if you have floor/closet space to store it. If you want the convenience of a wall mounted unit that charges on it's mount, this is NOT it. We live in a two story townhome just under 1800sq ft. Off the bat, I wished there was more suction power. It was almost anticlimactic when I turned it on for the first time bc it was SO quiet! Second, I wish the battery lasted longer or it could be detached and switched out for a backup battery. The battery is built into the motor/ canister house and relies on a cord plugged into it to charge. I knew it was 40 minutes of battery life going in; I underestimated how much I could actually clean in 40 minutes. I’d definitely have to break up my cleaning into sessions if this is what I am relying on to clean a whole house, top down (including furniture surfaces). Third, it would've been nice for them to design a way for the two accessories to attach off the wand or floor nozzle so that it’s always at hand and doesn’t get misplaced. Fourth: some option to mount this on the wall, even if it has to be purchased separately, would be helpful. The pluses: It’s quiet. Low price point, especially at 50% off. Light enough my kids to use with ease. There is a light on the floor nozzle. It’s great for some quick vacuuming around the dining table since my kids eat like Cookie Monster and vacuuming is a must after every meal; great on stairs and crevices that my corded Dyson was unwieldy and troublesome with. It’ll be convenient for cars, which means our car will be cleaner more often. Also, note it only takes but a few seconds to separate the top and hang it off the wand. I don't see it as a big deal to spare a few seconds to press a button for separation. It takes me longer to rewrap the cord back around my Dyson. The vacuum absolutely has the ability to stand upright on its own if the motor/canister is hung from the wand. Update 1/25/24: Been a few months. Loving it so far. Definitely vacuum a lot more often bc of how light and easy it is to use. Definitely wish it had more suction power, and affirms the idea if you are wanting a cordless as your sole vacuum cleaner, definitely invest in a pricier model. Also, wanted to add something as I was finally confident enough to recycle the packaging the vacuum came in: I have to point out the packaging is quite impressive as it is entirely paper based, which is such a welcome relief given the amount of plastics I get just from ordering a take out meal. Zero styrofoam and plastics in this packaging. Completely flattens down except for the two compressed paper fiber structures. Bravo to their packaging engineer. Update 5/17/24 Still finding it uber convenient to use, but it’s no good for the car! It’s ok on the upholstery if it’s like fresh crumbs sitting lightly on the surface. But it does not have the power to pull off things like fine dirt, sand or crushed leaves imbedded into the wiry carpet fibers of the car or crumbs wedged into seat crevices and carseats. I find my shop vac a lot more efficient for the car.
