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.

I own many Xiaomi products and I can truthfully say this is the first time I’ve been disappointed. I would say this thing sucks but that’s the problem, it doesn’t. It has weak suction and gets clogged at the slightest sign of dust. It’s really useless compared to the Xiaomi car vacuum. When it does manage to pick anything up the dust container is so poorly design you have to remove the attachments to open it and this generally ends up dropping dust everywhere.

I bought it on sale.
It's alright for the sale price, however I wouldn't pay full price.
Suction power is OK (on turbo mode).
DO NOT RECOMMEND for carpet or rugs.
The motor head has bristle strip that came off after one use.
Is very lightweight but feels more like a toy than a vaccum.
Only buy if you have a proper vaccum and this is only for quick jobs. I bought it on sale.

great suction power, just remember to rotate the machine all the way to lock it tight so that the power can go to the brush unit, otherwise it's not connected. great suction power, just remember to rotate the machine all the way to lock it tight so that the power can go to the brush unit, otherwise it's not connected.

We needed a new vacuum cleaner, and I decided and I decided that one which loaded the standard 3 pin wall outlet to its maximum should have adequate grunt. It did, operating just short of pulling the nails out of the floorboards, the dust didn't stand a chance. Alas, it functioned as a pretty good heater with 2,400 Watts to play with and while lifting the carpet off the floor and stretching it is an impressive stunt it gets pretty tiring pushing the agricultural scaled implement of dust digestion. Pulling it back is worse.

So, the Xiaomi light handheld 50 watt unit from PBTech was called up to the front line. It's light, easy to maneuver, gets dust dirt AND COTTON THREADS off the floor quietly and without fuss. Like a lot of small units it is a bit fiddly to empty, but the cleaning cycle is so quick and easy that it is now simple to do the house every day and still spend less time per week than doing it every three days with the high power beast. Carpet and lino looks just as good as the mighty sucker, and there is far less muscle and electrical energy expended. The lack of gale force exhaust, noise and room heating is most welcome, and there seems to be a much smaller amount of carpet pile biting the dust (bag).
It might be just me, but the wall mount seems to be a bit of a weak point, but a small modification to the mounting bracket fixed that satisfactorily. One thing it's not good for is cleaning up after using woodwork power tools, it doesn't take much sawdust to stop the suction. That job is reserved for the heavy mains powered unit, it has noise levels more suited to the workshop anyway.
Vacuuming is a more pleasant and faster process now, so, and while it is not ever going to power a half size wind tunnel, it does a great job on floors, upholstery and curtains. Probably not ideal for drying the bilges on a leaky boat, but a great non-intrusive, pleasant, and effective cleaning tool. Great value, I'm glad we bought it.

Our vacuum worked great for the first 3-4 months of use but then became faulty with constant error message stopping operation. Upon return I was told it would be 4-8 weeks to either service/repair or even consider for a refund. I think this is pretty unreasonable to have to wait that long for any outcome so can't recommend this from a service point of view.

Great for spot cleaning and for use for interior car cleaning, looks nice but just be careful as it scratches easy, although it’s all superficial markings so not a problem.

Nice cleaner as an addition to the main vacuum. Can not substitute a big normal VC but as a helper to clean kitchen area is really nice. Nice cleaner as an addition to the main vacuum. Can not substitute a big normal VC but as a helper to clean kitchen area is really nice.
