I do have to empty the bin a few times during big cleans, but overall, it’s a handy, versatile vacuum for my needs."

Much easier to handle and just as effective as more expensive models."

"I did a ton of research before buying and this vacuum has truly lived up to the hype. The suction is outstanding and it easily tackles pet hair, rugs, and baseboards. Although the dust cup is small and the weight can be noticeable on the wrist, the fact that it stands for storage and the cord is long enough for my condo make it a strong recommendation from me."

"I'm honestly amazed by how powerful the suction is for such a compact and lightweight vacuum. This handheld device is ideal for quick cleaning in my car and home, and the fact that it has several nozzle options and a washable filter makes it even more convenient.

"This little vacuum packs a punch—I’ve owned shop vacs that don’t even have this much power! My only complaint is that it’s quite loud—definitely not something you can use if you’re trying to talk to someone or keep the baby asleep. Still, the excellent suction power outweighs the noise for me."

"I needed a lightweight vacuum, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Assembly was a breeze, suction is strong, and it takes up hardly any space. Emptying is simple, and so far, no issues at all. Definitely recommend it as a solid purchase."

The only downside is it takes a little effort to push on thick carpet, and the cord could be a bit longer, but those are minor things. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the performance."
