 A little wonder |

Having just put tile throughout the house, and living with 3 dogs and 2 cats, I hated hauling out the heavy vacuum and plugging it in. And then unplugging and plugging again and again all the while dragging it around the house.. This little wonder does the whole house, is light and does the job. The only complaint I could possibly have is that the dirt cup is quite small and has to be emptied frequently. This, of course, would vary depending on how much animal hair accumulates on ones floor.
I would heartily reccommend this device because of it's ease of use, lack of weight and powerful suction.I love it and could sell them door to door they are so great. |
Powerful, But Light

| This little machine is incredible. It is so lightweight yet so powerful. We have two dogs who shed terribly and our entire house is carpted. I hated dragging out that heavy, heavy Kenmore just to vacuum the area where i do my yoga and exercises. Every couple of days I grab my dirt devil cordless and vacuum small areas. It doesn't miss a speck of dust or hair on the carpet anywhere I vacuum with it. After use you just stick it back onto its charging base. The only problem is that the cup where the dirt and hair accumulate is awfully small and you have to empty it frequently if you have heavy shedders in your home. Not a problem for me though. I LOVE this machine and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. |
Impressive vacuum cleaner

| I must say I was very impressed with this product. It's very light, but powerful in it's vacuuming abilities. It was so good that it tends to get full very quickly and I had to constantly empty the small trash cylinder. A helpful hint - if you have wood or tile floors I highly recommend removing the rotating brush, it's very easy to do by just using a screwdriver to remove a small plastic panel and removing the brush from the rotating rubber belt. The brush just gets in the way and dog hair was getting stuck more to the brush than getting sucked into the cleaner. I didn't buy a vacuum cleaner so I could bend over and use my hands to pull dog hair from the bottom of it. Now that the brush is out of the way, it's more efficient, but that means I have to empty the cylinder even more, sigh... |
Lifesaver!

I've only had the Power Stick Vacuum for over a week, and I like it so much I use it almost every day. It is lightweight and so easy to use. The small head swivels and does a great job sucking up crumbs, hair, dirt, cheerios--all the way up to the edge of the baseboards. The dirt cup and filter are easy to empty and clean, once you get used to how it clicks back on. I love that it's cordless and rechargeable, and has its own little charging base. This stick vac also stands up on its own, which is something you don't see in a lot of cordless sweepers/brooms. I have about 750 sq ft of wood floor area downstairs, with area rugs here and there, and this vac cleans it all in one charge, with plenty to spare. I also love being able to just move the switch from "Floor" to "Carpet" when I'm moving from the floor to a little area rug; no need to bend down and change anything, flip a brush, etc. I have used the Carpet mode to clean my stairs, and to do a quick vac of any of the carpeted rooms downstairs (family, living, dining, playroom). Of course it doesn't take the place of a deep carpet vacuum with a HEPA-filtered machine, but for a quick surface vac after a playdate, or after someone's been eating crackers in the playroom, it's so quick and handy. I clean the wood floor with this, and once a week I use the Bissell hard floor steamer to give the floor an even more thorough clean (and kill germs without chemicals!). I highly recommend this, and I did a lot of research on Amazon before buying it. I've got three kids 7 and under, so there are always crumbs and bits of paper all over the floor.
My one complaint, and it's not a big one, is that it's kind of noisy. I wouldn't use it upstairs while my baby was asleep. It seems a lot more powerful than other cordless stick vacs I've had, so maybe that's why it makes more noise.

Less than a year later, my review has changed immensely. A couple of months ago this broom vac started going weak. It is always fully charged when I use it, but now it can barely finish my 750 sq ft of wood floor on one charge. By the time I'm about halfway through, I can hear the vacuum starting to go weak. It also barely sucks up anything now, it's ridiculous! It used to just clean up everything in its path, and now I can go over a tiny cracker crumb 4x and it just sits there on the floor. I always clean the filter and rinse it off and dry it, but that doesn't seem to help any. The battery or the suction--or both--are just dying, and I'm not going to spend another bunch of $ on a battery for this. So now here I am again looking for a better broom vac that will last at least a few years. ARGH! |
A cordless vacum that actually works

| I am 70 years young and have purchased several cordless so called vacums. This is the best I have ever used. My daughter just purchased an extra one for a spare "cause it seems every time we find something wonderful, it gets discontinued. She has several long haired dogs so it gets a real workout. It works well on carpet and tile, so perfect for those quick touch ups. |
