Quite impressed. We have 98% wooden floors, just a stair carpet and some polka Arabic rugs so did not want to spend 100s of pounds on a flimsy Dyson. Nice and solid and just about does the whole 4 bed house on a single charge. I guess battery life will deteriorate and I looked for spare batteries but no joy. Main gripe is the lack of the usual stair attachment. They seem to expect you to use the main cleaning head but that is awkward and heavy on the stairs. The upholstery attachment is better but small si takes longer.
This is the first cordless hoover I’ve had so comparing to others is not an option! But having said that why would I waste money on an expensive one when this basically does what all the others claim to do. Everything about this hoover screams value for money! Great suction, light weight and easy to use and clean, very happy shopper.
A cracking little lightweight vacuum that works well in both the house and the car.
Absolutely five stars. So good I’m buying another one for upstairs. Don’t be put off by the price- it represents great value.
First cordless vacuum I’ve purchased and I’m very pleased with it. It’s a good product with a pleasing price tag. However if you want a low maintenance vacuum it’s probably not for you. It does require cleaning the filter and brush every time you use it. The brush is a wrap around hair magnet and the filter does a great job but gets very dusty! But it’s easy enough to clean.
A.great little cleaner. We’re asking a lot of it with our lock down house full of dogs – but it’s coping well. Very good value for money.
I like the fact that it’s neat enough to hang in an upstairs wardrobe and use for light traffic areas such as study and bedrooms. It means I don’t have to lug the heavier corded vacuum up and down the stairs every 5 minutes.
Great hoover . Very happen ..works really well ..so easy and does a great job ..
Great value alternative to over-expensive brands. Nice piece of kit and makes vacuuming easy.
The head articulation is superb and like a great pair of running shoes the product leads you forward. I have never smiled before when using a vacuum cleaner. On the other hand I have literally smashed up a few useless ones. I introduced it to the now defunct vacuum cleaners I store in the garage (noisy awkward VAX upright and the Henry which only SUCKS only its ergonomics make it unsuitable for domestic use- a conference hall great) and I hope they feel the shame of their existence.
Like Caligula talking to the statue of Zeus in the BBC’s I Claudius (which we are not allowed to watch any longer) the Vax and the Henry have been warned.

I’m very surprised about my new cordless hoover. We have 2 large black doggies and really, really happy.
High recommended *****
Replaced our handheld dyson with this one. So far its working perfectly
Good value cleaner. Can pick up most household detritus, decent battery life but not the strongest. Good as light second cleaner for large houses.
It charges quite quickly though! The carpet mode is great on stairs and landing. The vacuum picks up small bits of grit and dog hair with no problems and is simple to clea
I mainly have hard wood floors at home but do have some carpet for the stairs and landing.
I know a few other reviewers seem to have bought this as a back up to their main, more powerful Hoover but I wanted to give this a try as my primary Hoover, as well as a Gtech hand held and Neato robot in support.
It’s been absolutely great overall, performing very well.
Unbelievably good when comparing it to other premium brand Hoover’s for the price.
I purchased the higher spec version and is my first battery powered Hoover. Definitely worth it for the extra 30 over the standard version and longer battery life, I get about 25- 30 mins, on full power on hard flooring, with definitely enough suction and then switching onto carpet mode, probably slightly less battery, by about 3 or 4 minutes.
The suction power on carpet is decent, not as powerful as a Dyson Animal (previous hoover) but you could argue that is overkill and when comparing to the price difference, there’s no contest.
I also have a medium size breed, short haired dog that likes to moult, so it needs to do a good job.
Pound for pound, the Amazon Hoover does a better job for what I want it for.
The charge time is quick as well, you’ll get about half the battery in an hour which is pretty decent.
It’s a nice weight, not too heavy and the same when detached, cleaning the stairs.
Cleaning the dirt catcher can be a bit of a faff, having to sometimes press the button that detaches the catcher completely, rather than just clicking the lid release to let out the dirt.
This seems to be dependant on how full it is as the dirt doesn’t come out that easy if it’s too full.
Still easier and more hygienic than cleaning out a Dyson Animal though ! (that’s horrendous)
You also get the standard attachments with a handy wall bracket.
The wall bracket fits neatly in the airing cupboard for me, I also changed an old immersion heater switch into a plug socket, then cable tidied the hoover plug which is neat and easy to lift on and off the bracket.
I also leave it plugged in all the time which hasn’t been a problem.
The hard floor attachment is of really good quality, solidly built. It’s a soft roller that does a nice job on the hard floors and easy to clean. A nice alternative to the standard suction head for the carpet.
Another nice feature is that you only have to press the power button once to power it up, you don’t have to keep hold of the button, to keep it on.
Other battery powered Hoover’s I’ve been reading up on, you have to keep the button pressed, which seems like it would be annoying.
All in all a nice purchase so far. I’ve had it for 4 months so far, let’s hope it lasts!

Bought this to replace a failing Dyson, the suction’s pretty good and you get a decent amount of accessories.
My only gripe is that you have to plug in rather than it automatically charging when you sit it in the cradle like the dyso
Very quiet, easy to use and store. The down side is that it needs to be emptied often as the dust collector is on the small side. Apart from that we are very pleased with it.
The suction power is fantastic despite how lightweight the thing is. The bag-less dust compartment empties extremely easily and all of the fittings connect with a simple, yet sturdy, click.
The LEDs on the front of the vacuum are not a gimmick – absolutely fantastic for getting into places Like cupboards and under the sofa.
I have mine mounted on the inside door of my tool cupboard. It lifts on and lifts off the mount easily and the battery life is great for such a powerful machine.
Very happy

This is brilliant! Picks up dog hairs and child crumbs with ease. Lightweight and simple to use. Not the longest battery life but plenty for a two bedroom house.
First cordless vac we’ve owned and impressed with it. A full charge easily does our 3 bedroom semi. We have hard floors downstairs and carpet upstairs. If you have pets (we don’t) then I think this may struggle with pet hairs on carpets. Not quite powerful enough. Otherwise, it’s great.
Why 5 stars well Its reflected in the price people say you get what you pay for with this you get more I keep filters clean and the hoover continues to give good results.
I’m only disappointed not available anymore and the Amazon pay monthly was a big factor in my purchase. I have looked at the umi product available through Amazon and seems to be so much going on with it, I love the basics of the one I brought simple yet effective which is Ideal in todays busy life
Brought this for mum in her 80’s, she loves it, as its so light and portable.
Reasonable battery life and well made.
We recently decided our old hoover had reached the end and had to get rid (may it rest in peace) and scoured pages of information about what to get to replace it – particularly living in a small property (UK terraced house). I saw this and we were both very taken with the idea of a stick vac that wouldn’t take up much space and could be discreetly wall mounted. I know some people weren’t keen on this vac, but we decided to give it a go.
On the plus, it’s got great suction and is, generally, easy to use. However, I took points off though for ease of use – purely because although the more expensive version is touted as good for pets, the pet hair keeps getting tangled on the rotary parts in the head. This does mean we’ve had to take the head apart a couple of times to unhook all the pet hair.
It’s got a really smart look and feel and compares to the quality of upright and compact vacs we’ve had in the past. The fact that we’ve been able to wall mount it with the kit and attach the tools to it means we’ve saved on space and have been able to hide it out of view so it doesn’t impact on the feel of any room.
Overall we’re really happy with this vac and I would recommend it to anyone – particularly those who do not have pets at home and are constantly battling with shedding!
Ideal product for mobility, the product is of good quality, quiet and easy to use. You get everything you need included. Suction could be improved slightly and battery time as well but these wouldn’t put me off from buying another one.
power suction is good for the price, and it really made cleaning fun, then again I am someone who had a broom and and a dusting mop
For the price, as it’s much cheaper than a dyson, I’ve been really impressed with this. Easy to use and light. All the fittings work well and I love it being cordless, which is the main reason I chose it. Charges quickly and fitted the holder to the wall easily. Very happy.
I love it.I have back issues so it is just perfect for me.So light and does a great job.Like the fact that you can use the top part to just hoober in second kitchen or children mess after eating or playing.The only thing is that the battery will end before I even finish the ground floor.Can be very annoying!!Price needs to be reduce because of that!!!
Was so so impressed with this hoover. I’m disabled and have a lot of dexterity and strength issues but I am able to use this well enough, it picks up after 6 cats really really well, is easy to set up and use, just a couple button pushes to change settings super easily.
Took about 4 hours to charge from empty to full and lasts around 30 mins on the MAX setting on carpet mode, fills up super quick with all the cat hair but one push of a button and the bottom falls open, the only thing I struggle with is getting the stuff to come out, I have to use a knife to kinda pull the stuff out and this can be tricky as it just spins around the thing
But all in all, super happy I went for this one, very impressive little hoover!
When I first received this I looked at the instructions and thought I am never going to get this, but when I finally got it out of the box it was just a case of clicking the 3 parts into each other.
I use it instead of my shark on a daily basis (dog hairs) it glides over my wooden floor and picks up equally as well on the carpets. It’s easy to empty, which I do about every 3rd day and I charge up every other day. The shark seems so heavy since I have been using this basic.
Very satisfied with the purchase
However, this one just works very well. It may does not have the extreme suction power as my corded one had, but the head, at the end of the tube has rotating brushes what helps “scoopinging” in the dust into the vacuum cleaner, so it picks up everything. For example it could easily picked up frozen mixed vegetables what I accidentally dropped to the kitchen floor.
The battery time is more than enough to run around in our small flat.
It is nice that you can detach the long pipe and click in the smaller heads to the machine itself and with that you can clean dust from the furniture or from the tricky corners. Also it is perfect for the car. (No more one pound coins wasted at the petrol station!)
One additional benefit: it is easy to pick up and just run around in 5 minutes. No need so much will power to get out the corded one, change the paper bag, attach this and that and put it in and after you just can’t reach that corner, so you plug it in a closer socket etc… this one is easy. Pick it up, use it, empty the dust tank with one click, put it back to charge. Job done.
You can leave it on charge, it will stop charging when it is fully charged.

The product is really well made. The power suction is strong and the battery lasts enough for our 2 rooms apartment.
It takes around 3 to 4 hours to fully charge. Not to heavy. 2 level of power and 2 different modes for hard floor and carpet.
No regret in investing this money for this product.
I recommend.
I think this vacuum cleaner is the best i have ever had.I cannot get over the difference between this and my previous one a Vax32.I also possess a dyson and i can honestly say this is just as good.I am over the moon with it,and i am a genuine customer.
This is even better than I thought. I love it and cant say more than 5 stars. I am elderly and a bit frail but I can manage this with ease, even take it upstairs when necessary. I am stuck in the house on my own but I put it together when it arrived, in minutes.
I have nothing but good things to say about this vacuum cleaner. It arrived well packed and in perfect condition with not even damage to the box. It is easy to put together and interchange all of the accessories. The instruction book is very intuitive and easy to follow. I was quickly able to learn how to change and clean filter etc without complication.
I tested the vacuum on a rug which I have in my kitchen as the rest of my property is hard floor and I couldnt believe the results both on the rug and the floor itself. I am quite house proud to be honest and regularly clean and vacuum but I was ashamed with what this picked up in its first outing! It looks like a different rug!! It has also left nothing on the hard floor and I havent even tried the hard floor head attachment yet.
Product comes with about 20 mins charge to get to grips with it and then charging time to full charge is around 4 hours.
I had been wanting to move to an upright cordless cleaner like this and was prepared to pay more but the reviews it had just made me think it was worth a try for the price and apparent performance and I am absolutely thrilled with it.
Don’t bother with dysons and Vax and all the other expensive cordless vacs. This Amazon basic is all you need. Picks up great and easy to emply. Best 110 I’ve spent. Thanks amazon.
It’s so lightweight and easy to use. I was able to vacuum, on my first use (once battery had been fully charged). Living room, kitchen, conservatory. Hall, stairs, landing. Bathroom and 4 bedrooms all on maximum power before it run out of charge. Once the house is vacuumed regularly I wouldn’t need to use the max power and I’m sure the battery will last for the whole house with power to spare.
The vacuum turns off the charge power once fully charged. I actually enjoyed vacuuming my house for the first time in a very long time and it took much less time than when I struggled with my old vacuum, the Hetty with the inconvenient electric cable and weight was not a pleasure. Now I look forward to my next vacuuming routine with this great little product. Nice one Amazon. I think the name Amazon basic need changing because this vacuum is not basic in any meaning of the word. Great price too. Much cheaper than the named brands.
This just arrived yesterday but I have tried it in all modes and more than delighted with my purchase. It is very well made and works brilliantly- and at such a great price. I wonder how much better the much more expensive brands can be?
This is a great hoover for my apartment. It’s light, very quiet and has good suction. I was a bit dubious at first but that was put to rest when I used the hoover. So far I cannot fault it. Very happy with the purchase.
The suction is great on hard floors, carpet or furniture. Better than my dyson.The handle is quite heavy, which I suppose is to be expected as it houses the battery. The battery life is roughly 25 minutes and then you have to wait about 2 hours to get a decent recharge.
I did compare different products and prices but for my needs this was a great moderately priced option – I don’t have carpets or rugs so can’t comment On its effectiveness but it’s more than adequate on hard floors. I have dogs so need to have a flip round daily to deal with fluff etc.
I think if you wanted something to do a super deep clean on carpets you would probably want something more heavy duty.
But for the money it’s great – light weight, easy to put together and the battery lasts enough for me to whizz round a three bed house. It was easy to fit the bracket it sits on and I love that I can just use when ever without having to get the old vacumme out with leads etc. I also like that you don’t have to hold the trigger on …. the sweeper tool has a light on it which isn’t the brightest but really do you need a light ???
All round I’m really pleased
I haven’t had it long enough to comment on the battery life, but this is a great basic hoover. Easy to put together and although the handle seems heavy at first, it just glides along. This is great for anyone who can’t handle the usual heavy cleaners. Because of the lock down situation, no cleaning lady, so doing my own cleaning, not easy for for someone my age, but with this cleaner I can carry it upstairs and empty it with no added effort.. One thing to remember though, there is no facility to buy spares or replacements. Never the less, a great buy.
Having had a Dyson before I was reticent about purchasing this product which was one third of the price. I say to any purchaser to have no hesitation whatsoever as this is a super product.
It is lightweight, has ample power to do a total clean of my pad with power to spare. It is equally as good if not better than the Dyson I had before. The only item I would comment on was that the dock which you fit the appliance into does not have a charging point in it and therefore you have to connect a separate cable which is a little bit of an annoyance but certainly I have no problem with the actual product. 4 Star product and well done Amazo

I’ve spent 400 before on a Dyson and this is just as good. Mounts to the wall easy. Light enough for the kids to use. Good suction for human and dog hairs. Really easy to empty. A good purchase.
This is a fantastic cordless hoover don’t let amazon basics put you off, I had a shark before and I paid way more, but this is just as good if not better only sorry I didn’t buy it before would have saved a fortune, its a must people
As a disabled person with limited mobility and strength in my arms I find it easy and light to use, easy to assemble and to change out the attachments as needed, it does need emptied after each go but its super easy to do. Charge lasts easily long enough for me to do my fairly large two bed flat, then just hang it on the wall, plug in the charger and in no time its good to go again.
Operation is quiet and a whizz round the flat is done in no time, would certainly recommend, its great value for money and feels well put together.

As a disabled person with limited mobility and strength in my arms I find it easy and light to use, easy to assemble and to change out the attachments as needed, it does need emptied after each go but its super easy to do.

Works really good but having to send it back as only had one battery with it when I recieved it even though it said extra brush and samsung battery, really disappointed that I’m having to send it back.
Apart from that it’s really good from what I’ve tried.
Fingers crossed it will last me long
Interestingly and something that initially gave me some cause for concern was the weight. In the product chart where it compares the specs with 4 alternative products it states the weight as 3.1kg, nearly 1kg heavier than alternative models. Not so, the user manual states 2.4kg fully assembled and I think 3.1kg probably relates to the shipping weight.
Everything looks well made and it appears to be a quality product. When I unpacked everything and assembled the vacuum I found it balances very nicely on the roller head and weight isnt an issue.
I didnt read the user manual properly, most of the functions are entirely logical but I didnt realise I was using it in the ‘max’ power mode. However, it cleaned a large lounge (26′ x 20′), hall, kitchen, upstairs landing, bathroom and bedroom without any significant loss of power although I could hear that the motor wasn’t spinning quite as fast, not enough to affect suction and cleaning but obviously not as fast as when fully charged.
Things I like-
When you switch off you can hear the whine of the motor while it spins down, not an instant stop like a previous cordless vacuum I had which demonstrates the high rpm of the motor and the power.
The combination of rotating brushes and high suction do a very good job cleaning at the edge of carpets where they meet the walls
Dust and debris is easily emptied
I was astonished at how easily it picked up cat hair, I have two cats, one is long haired and leaves clumps of hair all over the place. My powerful corded Miele vacuum which I previously used for ‘deep cleaning’ struggled with cat hair meaning mostly half a dozen attempts back and forth to pick up those larger clumps.
It doesnt pump out vast amounts of hot air like my Miele which will be a big bonus on hot summer days
The only downside that I encountered was the status led’s, they’re very small and barely distinguishable but it didnt affect anything in practice apart from not realising I was using the vacuum in max power mode first time out.
Very, very pleased indeed, glad I didnt spend more money, and no, I havent placed a good review because I was sent one free, this is genuine 🙂

I absolutely adore this! Not having wires to deal with is great enough, but honestly I didn’t expect such a good performance for such a compact item. It’s made cleaning the house and getting the last bits out of my rats cages an absolute breeze. I’ve told everyone I know!
Different heads for different surfaces, all the attachments you require.
Great value, great product.
YOUR ‘ AMAZON BASICS ‘ 2 IN 1, CORDLESS, HANDHELD, RECHARGEABLE, VACUUM CLEANER P5, WILL ARRIVE AS PER THE PHOTOS, IN 2 WELL PROTECTED LAYERS. AS YOU REMOVE THE PLASTIC BAGS, YOU WILL – NO DOUBT – SEE HOW PLEASING ON THE EYE, YOUR PURCHASE REALLY IS. TIME TO GET THE KETTLE ON FOR A NICE CUPPA ( NOT NECESSARY, BUT THATS WHAT I DID BEFORE REACHING FOR DRILL, SPIRIT LEVEL, DRILL BITS & A PENCIL. ITS NICE TO HAVE A CUPPA WHILE YOU PERUSE THE INSTRUCTIONS ). THE WALL MOUNTED BASE PLATE FOR HANGING YOUR CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANER FROM IS SECURED BY 3 RAWL PLUGS & SCREWS ( SUPPLIED ). I DID USE MY OWN RAWL PLUGS WITH THE SUPPLIED SCREWS. THIS WAS ONLY BECAUSE – IN MY PERSONAL OPINION -THE SUPPLIED RAWL PLUGS SEEMED A LITTLE FLIMSY. I’M SURE THAT THE RAWL PLUGS SUPPLIED ARE PERFECTLY ADEQUATE, BUT I JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE SOME VERY STRONG, THICKER ONES KNOCKING AROUND IN MY TOOL-BOX. NOW !! ONTO YOUR RECHARGEABLE, CORDLESS VACUUM. THE TOOLS ALL CLICK ON TO & OFF FROM THE MAIN UNIT WITH EASE. I SUFFERED NO PAINS WITH MY OSTEOARTHRITIS WHILST CARRYING OUT ANY PART OF THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY & THAT INCLUDED THE MOUNTING OF THE BASE PLATE TO THE WALL. THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HOOKS ONTO THE MAIN BASE PLATE ON THE WALL. THE INSTRUCTIONS TELL YOU THAT IT MUST BE COMPLETE WHEN CHARGING. THAT IS, HAVING THE MAIN UNIT, THE EXTENSION PIPE & THE WHEELED FLOOR NOZZLE WITH ITS LED WORKING LIGHTS ALL FITTED TOGETHER. WHEN CHARGING YOUR CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANER, ONE END OF THE 69inches ( 1.753M ) LONG CABLE PLUGS INTO THE BACK OF THE HANDLE, THE OTHER INTO THE WALL SOCKET ( THIS MEASUREMENT EXCLUDES THE PLUG & CONNECTOR & IS THE LENGTH OF THE CABLE IN-BETWEEN ). WHILST CHARGING ( AS THE SHORT VIDEO SHOWS ), 1 BLUE FLASHING LED MEANS THAT THE CHARGED LEVEL IS LOW, 2 EQUALS MEDIUM, 3 EQUALS HIGH. WHEN ALL OF THE LED’s GO OUT, YOUR CORDLESS VACUUM IS FULLY CHARGED. AT THIS POINT, REMOVE THE CABLE FROM THE CORDLESS VACUUM END FIRST, THEN FROM THE WALL ( THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, NOT MINE !!?? ). THERE ARE CLIPS ON THE MAIN WALL BASE UNIT, TO ACCOMMODATE THE OTHER TOOLS ( AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS ).
WHEN CHARGED, THE MAIN CORDLESS UNIT CAN BE USED WITH OR WITHOUT TOOLS, MAKING IT EASIER TO CLEAN CAR INTERIORS etc. THERE IS A CREVICE TOOL FOR NARROW AREAS, OR FOR SKIRTING ( BASE ) BOARDS etc. THIS TOOL WOULD ALSO WORK VERY MUCH LIKE A VENTURI IN A MOTOR VEHICLES CARBURETTOR. THE NARROWER THE GAP, THE FASTER/STRONGER THAT THE SAME AMOUNT OF AIR, IS GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT GAP. WHEN USING YOUR CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANER, YOU ARE 42inches ( 1.06M ) FROM THE HANDLE TO THE WHEELS OF THE WHEELED ATTACHMENT, IF YOU ARE USING THE EXTENSION TUBE. THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO KEEP YOU FINGER PRESSED ON THE TRIGGER WHEN IN USE. A SINGLE SQUEEZE OF THE TRIGGER WILL SET YOUR CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANER RUNNING, A SECOND SQUEEZE OF YOUR ‘ AMAZON BASICS ‘ CORDLESS VACUUMS TRIGGER, WILL STOP IT. DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE WORD ‘ BASICS ‘ WHEN IT COMES TO THE SUCTION POWER OF THIS BEAUTY. IT IS SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE WITH ITS 2 SETTINGS. I HAVE A DOG WHO MOULTS A GREAT DEAL. WITH JUST A SINGLE RUN OVER THE CARPET THE ‘ P5 ‘ LIFTED THE HAIR FROM IT, LEAVING IT AS GOOD AS NEW. THE WHEELED ATTACHMENT HAS A PIVOTING HEAD FOR GETTING AROUND OBSTACLES & ALSO INTO SOME OF THE MORE TRICKY PARTS. THERE ARE SETTINGS FOR HARD FLOOR AND CARPETED ROOMS, HOWEVER I FOUND EITHER SETTING TO BE EQUALLY AS GOOD ON BOTH. A PRESS OF THE MAX BUTTON STEPS IT UP A GEAR & SERIOUSLY SETS TO WORK ON THE HARDER TO REMOVE DIRT & DEBRI ( SOMEONE FORGOT TO REMOVE THEIR WELLINGTON BOOTS AGAIN WHEN THEY CAME IN FROM THE GARDEN, DIDN’T THEY ?!! ). USING THE MAX SETTING WILL USE UP BATTERY LIFE QUICKER THOUGH. THERE ARE 3 FILTERS. ONE IS AN AIR OUTLET FILTER, ONE IS A FABRIC FILTER & ONE IS A FOAM FILTER ( HANDY TO KNOW, IF YOU SUFFER DUST ALLERGIES ). THESE FILTERS ARE CLEANED BY RINSING OCCASIONALLY AND LEAVING TO DRY NATURALLY. THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE PUT IN A WASHING MACHINE OR TUMBLE DRYER. THE ‘ AMAZON BASICS ‘ P5, 2 in 1, CORDLESS, HAND-HELD, RECHARGEABLE, VACUUM CLEANER GETS THE THUMBS UP FROM ME. THE ONLY NEGATIVE POINT BEING, – AS I HAVE MENTIONED – USING IT ON MAX, FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, WILL USE UP THAT CHARGE MUCH QUICKER.
It is so far the best vacuum cleaner I have with the best charging efficiency. I utilized it in remote locations where power plug is not available and it turned out that the suction power is very good. I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner and I am sure I shall buy it again.
A pretty good cordless vac. It’s nowhere near as powerful as our Vax, but it does an ok job.
It arrived packaged very well in a cardboard box (recyclable). Each component was nestled in its own nest….but….each component was wrapped individually in a plastic bag. That’s not good, and I would hope Amazon will be addressing their policy on single use plastic.
The vacuum itself comes with a cradle to store and recharge it. There is a range of tools for various jobs, which work fine.
The dust compartment is pretty small, so it requires frequent emptying. However, it’s simple to do, so that’s not much of an issue really.
Battery power lasts about half an hour on low….10 mins less on higher power.
Now we have 2 long haired cats and, to be honest, this vac isn’t really up to hoovering their fur up properly. But, for a quick hoover up, especially flooring, it’s fine.I
It’s lightweight and easy to use…so that’s a big plus and changing the tools does not involve a wrestling match, which sometimes our Vax does.
If your looking for a basic cordless vac, for quick and easy use, at a reasonable price, this is great.
First of all I need to tell you that I did not purchase this item but it was sent to me by Amazon in return for an unbiased and honest review.
Well packaged and everything recyclable. Easy to assemble didn’t need instruction booklet but there is one if required.
Two settings one for carpet one for hard floors and another two settings one normal and another boost.
On normal the vacuum will operate for about 30 minutes without recharging.
To operate you do not need to hold down the switch.
The LED headlights were a surprise to us, very handy in poor lighting or to assist looking for fluff etc.
Charging station with wall mount to go in a cupboard etc very handy and will hold the tools too.
LED display shows battery life.
Easy to empty dust collector – straight into your bin.
Amazing manoeuvrability and very lightweight.
This little vacuum compares favourably to our cordless Dyson and has one or two features that the Dyson does not! Not to mention the price difference!
We are keeping our Amazon Cordless vacuum upstairs and it is a god send! Highly recommend!
It comes with a pretty comprehensive set of tools and I like that there are LEDs on the motor head so you can see when you’re cleaning under sofas etc. The instructions say to disconnect the power supply when the device is fully charged. Not sure if that is completely necessary. The charging LEDs go out once it is fully charged so I’m hoping it’s not dangerous to leave it connected to the charger. It’s handy that the battery is replaceable as that is the item that will wear out first. You could even buy a couple of spares if you want the freedom to clean the whole house in one go.
This is the first time I’ve seen an AmazonBasics brand on ‘big electronics’- I’ve seen it plenty on much smaller items like cables or adapters, but this is the first time I’ve seen it on an item above a hundred quid. The ethos seen in other AmazonBasics electronics remains much the same though- simply designed and styled, functional rather than pretty, packaged in basic cardboard boxes with no frills, some corners have been sensibly cut here to offer a conveniently cordless vacuum cleaner at a price that’s (fairly) competitive against other brands.
In many ways, it’s a 4 star item, including some key ways. The suction is decent and it does a good job of getting dirt and hair off carpets and kitchen tiles. It’s not super-powerful, but neither is it super-loud, and for everyday bits and pieces like walked-in mud or spilled flour, it’s more than adequately up to the task. The barrel where the dirt accumulates is fairly small, but it’s very easy to empty. There’s something oddly satisfying about the trigger-style on-off button.
It’s really nicely lightweight. I’m not strong by any means but I can easily push it around or carry it upstairs single-handedly. The rollers work well and it rolls about on carpets in a fairly effortless way, without much shoving, which makes the process feel very easy.
The ‘max’ button and the ‘carpet’ toggle button don’t really do very much- it’s still essentially a sucking stick with rollers on the end, doing the best sucking it can with the battery it’s got, and it feels like those buttons are more there for show (because other brands have them) rather than actually accomplishing much.
It can be wall-mounted- make sure you get the height right!- but even if not mounted, it can stand up of its’ own accord. It’s top heavy, definitely, but not too wobbly on its feet, allowing you to put it down and pick it up easily if you need to move some stuff off the floor then carry on vacuuming, etc.
The battery life is OK-ish. Despite being a huge battery, it’s only a 2000mAh capacity (or 2500mAh on the ‘higher spec’ one apparently), which is a lower mAh value than most smartphones so it sounds low, but it’s 21.6V so that’s not a valid comparison. A full battery charge can take this device on a quick spin round every room in our four-bedroom house without needing a recharge, so I’d suggest that it’s as much as most everyday use would need. A simple three-pin plug character, like a phone charger but just a little bigger, is a simpler and more convenient solution than some of the more elaborate charging/docking stations that more expensive cordless vacuums seem to come encumbered by.
One disadvantage with the battery is that you can’t either charge this device and use it at the same time- nor can you charge the battery separately. If you plug the charging cable in while the vacuum is on, it switches off automatically and won’t come back on. So if you do find that it wasn’t charged enough for the full vacuum sweep you wanted to do, you have no choice but to wait until it’s recharged enough for you to try again- which could be quite inconvenient.
Looking around this product category at this price point shows that this AmazonBasics brand model isn’t an absolute bargain- it’s reasonably competitive, but there are other brands on this site which will give you a similar spec for a similar price. But if simplicity is your thing- and the added bonus assurance that the Amazon brand and customer service brings- and you’re looking for a reliable, simple cordless vacuum for convenient quick sweeps, there’s very little to fault about this.
The box arrived well packaged and easy to dispose of being cardboard. Unfortunately each component was wrapped in a plastic bag which, today is beginning to seem a bit excessive. Hey ho, can’t have everything, but I would like to think that Amazon could make more efforts to reduce single use waste products.
The vacuum was very easy to assemble once the battery was fully charged. A plus point is that it doesn’t have to sit in its special cradle attached to the wall as it can just sit on a work surface near a plug socket.
There is a hanging cradle supplied so could be attached to a wall for storage, but this isn’t necessary. There is a clear indicator of the level of charge and once fully charged this disappears.
To start this vacuum there is a button located in the handle, and once again plus points are gained in that the trigger doesn’t have to be squeezed in whilst in operation being a simple on and off.
I have used another brand (Dyson) and the trigger had to be held in at all times which eventually I found particularly uncomfortable.
Once in operation it is light weight and very manoeuvrable around furniture and can lay flat to go under beds and sofas and because of it’s compact size it, if furniture allows, it can actually go all the way under without having to move any furniture.
This can be used without any tools attached, which I found really useful when you spot a cobweb in a corner that can’t be reached with the head attached. It can also be used with just either of the floor nozzles attached with make it perfect for stairs.
There are two floor nozzles supplied – one for carpets and one for hard floors. The one for hard floors is very good as the plush roller is in contact with the floor so highly effective at removing dust.
This vacuum is well balanced when in use and doesn’t feel heavy and usefully stands up when not in use. A caution to this being that it would easily be knocked over because all the weight is at the top, so it’s probably not recommended for safety reasons around pets and small children.
Although the dust collector is relatively small in comparison to a plug in hoover, do not let this put you off, as it’s so easy to empty with the press of one button to release the hinged lid whilst holding over a bin. The dust collector cup can also be easily removed with a quick twist for a more thorough empty if any clumps have become wedged at the top.
The internal filters are equally easily removed for washing and cleaning.
Whilst I probably would never not want to have a full size plug in vac for proper cleaning days, these cordless hoovers are fantastic for a quick run around after the grandchildren have trashed your front room on a Sunday and left their trail of biscuit crumbs everywhere. At this point all you can think about is a gin and tonic and the thought of dragging a full size mains vacuum is not a good one! However a stick vacuum which is battery powered means they are quick to get out and put away, are easy to use and are always ready for action.
So, overall a good battery powered stick vacuum which isn’t quite as good as a Dyson but the cost is of course not even close. This is quite important because no matter what the advertising guff says, you will probably still need a mains vacuum, especially if you have carpets, for the days when you really want to give the house a good clean. This stick vacuum like the Dyson is a ‘nice to have,’ like a microwave. A useful extra tool but you still need the proper full fat item.

To start this vacuum there is a button located in the handle, and once again plus points are gained in that the trigger doesn’t have to be squeezed in whilst in operation being a simple on and off.
I have used another brand (Dyson) and the trigger had to be held in at all times which eventually I found particularly uncomfortable.
Once in operation it is light weight and very manoeuvrable around furniture and can lay flat to go under beds and sofas and because of it’s compact size it, if furniture allows, it can actually go all the way under without having to move any furniture.
This can be used without any tools attached, which I found really useful when you spot a cobweb in a corner that can’t be reached with the head attached. It can also be used with just either of the floor nozzles attached with make it perfect for stairs.
There are two floor nozzles supplied – one for carpets and one for hard floors. The one for hard floors is very good as the plush roller is in contact with the floor so highly effective at removing dust.
This vacuum is well balanced when in use and doesn’t feel heavy and usefully stands up when not in use. A caution to this being that it would easily be knocked over because all the weight is at the top, so it’s probably not recommended for safety reasons around pets and small children.
Although the dust collector is relatively small in comparison to a plug in hoover, do not let this put you off, as it’s so easy to empty with the press of one button to release the hinged lid whilst holding over a bin. The dust collector cup can also be easily removed with a quick twist for a more thorough empty if any clumps have become wedged at the top.
The internal filters are equally easily removed for washing and cleaning.
Whilst I probably would never not want to have a full size plug in vac for proper cleaning days, these cordless hoovers are fantastic for a quick run around after the grandchildren have trashed your front room on a Sunday and left their trail of biscuit crumbs everywhere. At this point all you can think about is a gin and tonic and the thought of dragging a full size mains vacuum is not a good one! However a stick vacuum which is battery powered means they are quick to get out and put away, are easy to use and are always ready for action.
So, overall a good battery powered stick vacuum which isn’t quite as good as a Dyson but the cost is of course not even close. This is quite important because no matter what the advertising guff says, you will probably still need a mains vacuum, especially if you have carpets, for the days when you really want to give the house a good clean. This stick vacuum like the Dyson is a ‘nice to have,’ like a microwave. A useful extra tool but you still need the proper full fat item.
I’ve never been convinced about cordless Vacuum cleaners as you tend to think that they won’t be as powerful as my Animal Vacuum Cleaner, well I can now say that this is a myth now thanks to AmazonBasics 2 in 1 Cordless,
As soon as I unboxed it I couldn’t believe how good this was actually made as it’s very good quality, firstly I plugged it in the mains to charge, one blue light came on to show it was charging and as soon as it gets to 3 blue lights it’s fully charged.
As soon as I switched it on it didn’t feel powerful, unlike my other Vacuum cleaner you can feel the suction pulling on the carpet, this AmazonBasics is different because you don’t feel the suction on the carpet but the actual rotating brush is actually closer to the carpet and picks up a lot better, what I found was as soon as I used the vacuum it instantly picked up debris and I didn’t have to to keep going over the same patch again unlike my other Vacuum cleaner, my wife is very pleased as it’s very light and easy to push as she suffers from a bad back, I’ve also drilled my wall so I can use the wall mount to place the vacuum with the attachments, it comes with two rotating heads, one for carpets and one for hard floors plus some little attachments with a brush.
Again the quality of this Vacuum is outstanding.
To be honest I didn’t look at the instructions because it was so simple to put together and wasn’t much to it.
For the price it is an absolute bargain for what you get and it does a magnificent job especially on carpets.
I don’t have experience of other cordless vacuum cleaners therefore I don’t have a benchmark to compare this one with but I must say I was impressed with it.
* The instructions are straightforward making assembly and operation easy.
*It is light yet robustly built.
* It only took a few seconds to put it together.
* A full charge took 4 hours but I was able to use it for test purposes after 1 hour.
* It comes with 2 heads – 1 that does carpets and floors and the other for hard floors only.
* The attachments can be used with the extension wand for hard to reach places and to prevent the user bending over or they can be attached to the central unit itself making for a much more compact operating unit for cleaning upholstery, cars etc.
* Connecting and disconnecting the attachments is a cinch.
* The suction power is strong – I had just vacuumed with a conventional ‘hoover’ and this unit still picked up copious amounts of fluff, dust and fine grit.
* Emptying is easy and cleaning is simple.
*On the wall storage means it doesn’t take up floor space in cupboards.
I don’t know the price therefore I can’t comment on value for money but my experience of Amazon Basics products is that they are of good quality and competitively priced.
