Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Picked this up at Kohls locally, who also had the Shark.Wasn't impressed with how to empty the Shark, and it wasn't on sale.So, bought this figuring on an easy return.
First day thoughts:Charging for 16 hours right out of the box is a bit annoying, but no more so than any other recent rechargeable.Got a chance to use it today - I bought it, essentially, because we live in the pacific northwest and have hardwood.sweeping is a pain, and vacuuming happens only weekly, so a quick picker-upper of pine needles is WONDERFUL.We used to have a roomba running, but with a toddler in the house, that's pretty scary - who knows what it will jam on. Maybe we'll use the roomba once he's a few years older.
Tried this first on the hardwood.It did ok under the cabinet feet, swept up pine needles pretty respectably without tossing them.Did not do very well on the "foot scrubber" entry-way doormats - I think those pine needles are pretty embedded.Overall, hardwood was ok. Margins of rugs was adequate but not great.Actually, that was my first out-loud comment to the family - "hey, this is pretty adequate". Won't win any awards on hard surface floors -- honestly i want a hugely powerful vacuum without a brush.So far no product that does that. But, didn't fail either. Grabbed the dog food and pine needles, although it occasionally took more than one pass to get it.
Then, went to the high-traffic pine needle areas - which is pretty much just off every hardwood area.Did surprisingly well, didn't leave pine needles behind at all.It was obviously not a vacuum, just a surface sweeper, but it's also not 40 pounds with a long, annoying cord and fourteen attachments. Overall, surprisingly good. Carpet does not look freshly vacuumed, but sure looks tidy. Did manage to pick up a few stickers and a half a crayon, some dog fur and some random scraps of paper.Clearly, a sweeper though.
When using this in the hardwood front hallway, i noticed that the carpeted stairs had pine needles all over them.I unclipped the handle and ran the sweeper over the first 4-5 stairs before my toddler "helped".
NOW i am impressed. It's the right width (maybe just half an inch too wide) but does a very good job sweeping carpeted steps. no cords, no long handles, just unclip the long handle and run it with your hand.
Overall, day 1 is very good. But, I'll revisit this review in two weeks and update. I don't think it's anywhere near threatening for my Dyson Animal, but at minimum it seems that it might keep things tidier without a cord and with less fuss.And with a toddler, i absolutely need less fuss.
Negative: If you have pets (i have a dog and three cats), the waste receptacle can be hard to empty. The first time i tried it, i shook out half the dust container on the floor because the dog fur trapped everything, and then centripetal force kicked in at absolutely the wrong moment. The exit gap is pretty small, and does not accomodate pet fur well. I learned to shake a bit slower and reach in to grab big furballs. and then wash my hands. Pretty sure none of the designers owned a pet... EVER. But, on the same note, they must have pine needles, because that worked very well :)
Annoyance: when it's plugged in, it's showing a red LED. no, it never changes. Red means plugged in.No charge indicator. Very irritating, cheaply solved, and yet not quite there. Gives me a bit of pause - they've clearly outsourced design, are saving the one-one-hundredth-of-a-penny and given up on quality, so I'll just have to see what Dyson comes out with next...
