This was one of the cheapest, small handheld vacuum out there and I needed something for the car and small household messes that didn't warrant our large upright vacuum. I understand that it wouldn't be very powerful so the Turbo function was nice, but you would be using it 95% of the time so it should really just be called the ON button, and it having a stick head seemed like a nice addon but it is absolutely useless and I suspect there is a huge design flaw. Using it for small dust and dirt particles is fine but anything larger than a pea, then you're going to run into some issue like I did (God forbid if you ever have to suck up an almond!...view more This was one of the cheapest, small handheld vacuum out there and I needed something for the car and small household messes that didn't warrant our large upright vacuum.

My main gripe is with the spinning brush head of the stick vacuum, rotating AWAY from you, kicking up small debris AWAY from the suction hole. I can literally see the debris being flicked away from me and the only way to suck it up is to trap it up against the wall, and even then I'm not sure its being sucked up or just disappearing into the seams of the carpet. The face of the bush head is high and open (I assume to accommodate for long shaggy carpets) so doesn't block/ catch the debris from being catapulted away from you compounding the situation. As you can imagine this phenomenon is exaggerated even more when on hard floors without the friction preventing the dirt from reaching 88mph.

I would suggest that you only buy this if your house is already very clean, you have a bigger more capable vacuum already, you need something small and portable, AND if you have carpet.

I've already lost my money, I hope this helps inform people in making their purchasing decision.

Suction power is really appalling, I get that its cheap but it barely qualifies as a vacuum cleaner. Only way to get it to actually do its job is to go handheld and forgo the boom stick, and have the turbo button taped down. Battery barely lasts a room, and so does my back. Honestly it feels like it was designed for a truly urban minimalist dweller in like a studio apartment, not for the general homeowner especially in NZ. Don't be like me, don't be this cheap.

Works well for spot cleaning. We have wooden floors so we need to constantly clean dirt and dust. Even the kids love using it. Works well for spot cleaning. We have wooden floors so we need to constantly clean dirt and dust. Even the kids love using it.
