I find heavier cleaners difficult to manage, so reserve them for a regular thorough clean, This one is ideal for having on hand at any time, just for tidying up.
For a cheap cordless, I am impressed. It picks up dog/cat hairs and is one of the quietest I have ever owed.
Certainly prefer it to my Vax, although I only use it in my motorhome, battery life seems good.
Product was easy to use and I like it has an on/off switch and not a trigger in the handle like other designs I have used, which means it doesn’t switch on and off when you weren’t meaning it to; it might sound like a little thing but it always bugs me
I was very hesitant at buying a cordless hoover at this price but I have been very pleasantly surprised. It’s sturdy and works great! I live on my own with no pets so I cannot say what it’s like with big messes or animal hair but for everyday cleaning and spills this is perfect!
I really like this hoover. Easy to assemble, cordless so easy to get around however, it’s not as powerful as my old hoover. For the price it’s a great product especially for hard floors.
This hoover is easy to use and able to suck up huge amount dirt/dust from carpet. Suction is rightfully good, however it takes a long time to charge the battery. Very suitable for people who hates cabled and heavy hoovers. Hopefully it will last longer than a year.
Affordable alternative to a dyson! The light is really useful, the battery life is good overall and the attachments are all good. Been using this for a year and it’s a life saver. The suction is good, and hasn’t got clogged like a previous dyson I owned.
Only had it week.
Seems to do the job, nice and light and easy to use.
Think our vax had more power but time will tell.
Battery life needs to be tried before I can comment on tha
I bought this a while ago.few months I think.It is ok item to clean the floor but still will have some area can not be clean as much as I want.Anyway, rwasonal price and it is still doing the work anyway.
We have a Dyson ball hoover that just isn’t doing the job well anymore so thought we would try this as it appeared to be much lighter and wireless. We are so impressed. We ran it over carpets that looked clean and were shocked at the dust that came out, battery last a doing out whole house. The only quibble I have is it advertised for pets and you do have to regularly cut hair from the bottom as it gets wrapped round but have had to do that with all others. Would buy again and a great price.
This replaced a 600 Dyson (wouldn’t waste my money again) that died after a few years and it does what it’s supposed to do.
Yes structure of the hose could be sturdier but this worked well in a 3 storey house and now a 2 bed flat.
Have yet to run out of charge when using from full. I get the job done using the standard setting and rarely need the Max Boost.
Doesn’t have a Swiss army knife of attachments but is basic and functional enough to get the job done at a good price, as I managed to get this on offer.
Product delivered on time and does the job. It has two levels of power. When you turn it on, it’s on 1st level. Pressing again the power button, it goes to level 2. You can’t get back to level 1. You should press the power button again and it turns off the cleaner. This is why I rated it 4 out of 5.
It works as intended, the only problem I have with it is the lack of possibility to hang it somewhere and its a bit annoying to me that I have to tuck it behind the door and hope it wont fall. Other than that, super happy with how it works. Battery life is a bit low but for a house of 60 m2 works enough to clean the whole house thoroughly.
Having purchased a few different of these type Hoover’s they have all been a let down suction wise I have spent a fair bit trying to find a one that lives up to it’s advertising and reviews! And this one does it has a max power boost button on it for higher suction and works very well I have two cats and children around all the time and this hoover is definitely my best, was weary of buying another one but glad I did compared to others it’s a ten out of ten.
We needed a light weight hoover for upstairs as we were struggling to carry our heavy Henry upstairs. This is light weight and compact. Being able to change it to the smaller attachment is great – the smaller attachment can also be hung on the hoover via a clip which is great so it does not get lost. As you can see in the video, I am recording easily with one hand while hoovering so great maneuverability. The hoover lights are a great addition. Only con we found was that the hoover would not clean well on hard floors such as our laminate.
This cleaner is very easy to put together and use in both ways. It cleans well although not as efficiently as more highly priced cleaners. I cleaned the whole house without any loss of power, and switched it to turbo in some areas. As a handy cleaner for a motorhome, this is just perfect.
Having gone from a Shark to this, it’s a bit lightweight and clunky, not particularly maneuverable, but that’s not a fair comparison with a Shark, you get what you pay for.
The brush heads are really soft, which is why I’d say it doesn’t really groom your carpets but it does have good suction.
I’d say this is ideal for those with just hard type flooring, due to the suction. If you’ve carpets, I’d say this is ok as a daily quick whisk around to remove surface debris, but for a full on deep clean I’d say you need a 2nd decent vacuum.
Used it this weekend for the first time, to clean our caravan and car.
When I used it upright it was very light and manoeuvrable and I cleaned the carpet and laminate very quickly. In its hand held mode it was very nippy. Perhaps not quite the suction of my usual Henry but good and easier to use. I had the time to clean both vehicles without recharging- about half an hour. Easy to empty as well.
I love this hoover! Was so fed up of heavy hoovers that were difficult to manoeuvre and lift and dangerous with having to make sure I didn’t trip over wires! Enter this amazing little hoover that can be made into all kinds of sizes for stairs, curtains, corners, under furniture ect ect. It even has lights at the end so you can see the dust clearly to hoover! And on top of it all, it’s so light plus I kept thinking I must make sure I don’t trip over wires then realised I didn’t have to worry as it’s wireless! Also very strong so dog and human hair were picked up so easily! I could go on. I simply love this hoover and wish I’d found it sooner! So thank you so much! I definitely recommend this amazing hoover!!!
I needed a quick cordless replacement for quick jobs. As a professional cleaner I would recommend this for home as quick go over or someone that doesnt create a great deal of mess. especially people that have issues with heavy appliances. It doesn’t feel impressive when in use, feels like it’s not got much suction, but picks up a fair bit of hair, dust and fluff. Takes a couple of goes to pick up anything of weight- would not suck up a drawing pin and doesn’t get right to edges. Lack of additional tools makes it useless on stairs. I will pass this on to my elderly mother – it will be perfect for her.
his seems to be a good little vacuum, though I have only used it a few times so far. It is very light, which is a big bonus as my last one was like driving a tank! It seems to have good suction, but because it is so light, I am almost waiting for it to break! I do not think it will though. It is a very good price, so although I hope it lasts a long time, it will not be the end of the world if gets broken. I bought one of the better makes for the first time, last year, and it hasn’t lasted a year yet! so I hope this one will stand the test of time.
Wanted a 2nd cordless for upstairs. Bits of fluff from joggers, socks etc stick to my stupidly bought beige wool carpet like glue. My Dyson v8 animal works OK on them but my corded shark is best but bulky so that’s being made redundant and wanted a cheaper lightweight cordless to sit in upstairs cupboard for when needed. No plug there so wanted a separate battery charging hoover. Bought a shark first which was too heavy for arthritic wrist and refused to pick bits up without boost on. Sent it back and settled on this one but expectations were low. For 69.99 it picked up all fluff, was lightweight and the battery charged fully in 2hrs. Yes it’s not separate from head but easily charged then popped on hoover and shoved in cupboard til needed. Aluminium stick and clicks in place. Awkward to get fluff off filter guard but I use an old toothbrush. Obviously not as well made as my Dyson but for 4 x less price I’m quite impressed. Just hope it lasts
Very pleased with this purchase. After a substantial amount of online research I went for the Akitas V8 cordless vacuum cleaner. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It is light, easy to manoeuvre, it has a high speed power button. Assembly was straightforward and it charges at a fast rate. It is a quality item at an affordable price. Speedy delivery made for a very satisfied customer.
I don’t usually write reviews but this definitely warrants it. I purchased as I was looking for something light weight for my static caravan and it’s absolutely brilliant. I have ordered others in the past and none of them have the power or keep the charge like this does. It feel like really good quality, very light weight and makes hoovering really easy. It’s that good I’m considering getting one for home. I have only charged it once so far and it hasn’t lost any of the charge yet. This would also be good for anyone who struggles with the weight of a normal vaceasy to set up and easy to clean, I can’t be believe how much it picks up
I ordered this vacuum cleaner after our old one suddenly broke a few days ago. It arrived very quickly, and I’m surprised at how powerful it is for such a small and lightweight vacuum! It’s easily to assemble and take apart for storage, it charges quickly and isn’t too noisy. I was able to vacuum the whole house in less time (compared to the old vacuum) and without any pain, huffing & puffing, etc, that I experienced with the old vacuum. Emptying the dustbin section was very straight forward and the instruction manual is easy to follow. I rarely leave reviews for purchases and I’m very impressed with this one!
Really delighted with this hoover. Suction really good and very easy to manoeuver. Very light. Having struggled with a Henry for years, hoovering is now a doddle.Very easy to empty. Was surprised at how much it had cleaned the carpet. Won’t stand up on its own unless you dismantle the handle part but I have just propped it against the wall in the hall.Very good price too.
I’ve gotten to the age that lugging the Dyson up and down the stairs is more than a chore and with minimal carpets down stairs I wanted something lightweight and easy to use, to quickly whizz around I’m obsessed with my new toy! It charges relatively quickly and on full power mode the suction is awesome, (you know when it lifts the carpet, leaving freshly vacuumed marks) i easily go from room to room, hard floor to carpet.
With the nozzle attachment, I can get into corners and it’s great for the stairs. Today I’m going to use it in my car. This great cordless vacuum cleaner, ticks all the boxes for me. It’s as good as the vax cordless I use at work but half the price.
Very well made, assembles and disassembles easily – solid locking so it feels sturdy.
Light enough for quick clean ups, would not want to do a whole house with it, but room by room taking a rest between it’s easy to handle and not too heavy.
Impressed with the (head)light, and motorised roller (for the money).
Could use a bit more suck – I always use it in turbo mode but some stubborn pet hairs, etc take a few runs at to shift.
Love seeing how much dirt it has removed through the visible dust container.
Easy to empty – and I recommend you empty it after each use to keep it’s sucking power up.
It feels a bit cheap and sounds like it’s not doing much when hoovering but you’ll be amazed at the amount it’s actually picked up when you switch it off.
Pros:
It’s very lightweight, has a cut-out system if you snarl something in the roller, lifts cat hairs out of thick & thin pile carpets/rugs, has a decent charge life and is very good value for money.
Cons:
Feels a little clumsy on the stairs and the charger cable isn’t particularly long.
Overall though very I’m pleased with the purchase and will definitely like-for-like replace it when it does finally pack in.
Bought to replace an expensive Dyson and really thrilled with the quality and versability of this product.
At least 3 times less than a Dyson and much more versatile. Bargain of the year!!
It’s great. Everything as in description. Good power in it. Works good on the carpet too. Very easy to clean. Charges in 3 hours or so. And lasts one hour which is enough for me.
The delivery for this item was quicker than I assumed, was handled with care by the curior. Very easy to use, at least 3 clicks to put it together and I was away! Would highly recommend
For the price, this is amazing! I live in a bungalow so don’t need to worry about stairs or a very long run time. It’s light, great movement, excellent suction (picks up far more than my old hoover) and great battery life.
I was between a Shark and Dyson before I found this, and so glad I did as I’ve saved a fortune and still got an excellent product!
Highly recommended.
Looks like a Dyson, less glitch than a Dyson so far. Not quite as powerful but it’s a fraction of the price. Picks up just fine and the battery lasts far longer than Dyso
I’ve only had it for the past two days, but it works well so far. The suction is good, and it is easy to put it together and use it. I will say, the swivel head is a bit weak in that it doesn’t move much, or easily, but overall the vacuum works perfectly fine.
Although suction doesn’t appear to be great it surprisingly cleaned carpets and floors very well. It’s very lightweight and handles well, like the fact that it’s easy to store not like some stick vacuum cleaners that need to be secured upright with clamp or leaned against a wall. But still need to have care when in use, like most stick vacuums it’s top heavy so you can’t just leave it to move something and then go back to it. Other down side is the dustbin- really small capacity – lost count of how many times I had to empty it. Not great when your up stairs and your waste bin is downstairs! also dust collects against the cone bit and isn’t easy to just shake out – had to remove it to get rid of dust particles. Bit of a pain that. hence only 4 stars.
This Hoover is small but mighty! Picks up a lot, great value for money.
Can put away neatly, no crazy wires so can move around easy, it’s hoover stairs with no fuss too so definitely portable too!
I purchased this as an easy way to keep on top of cat hairs on a hard floor and I’m pleased to say, it’s perfect. It’s not got the greatest suction, but for the money, I’m not complaining. I’d give it 5 stars if the suction was that of a Dyson, but realistically it’s a quarter of the price. Pleased with my purchase and would recommend as a second, daily, hoover.
I bought another cordless Hoover with similar specifications but more expensive, thinking that probably will be better, but it stopped working after the first charge, I was completely disappointed. So I sent it back and thankfully Amazon refunded me, then I decided to try that one, if it was another failure it won’t hurt so much. But I was gladly surprised, it work nicely, lightweight, easy to clean and maintain. As I said the best shopping of the year.
This is fantastic I had a shark was to heavy this is just as good light weight and is very flexible love it and the price is great as well light weight head part to do the pet hairs can’t fault i
It isn’t the most powerful hoover, but for the price it does the job! We have mainly wooden floors so it is perfect for these. Probably wouldn’t be powerful enough for a carpet if you have pets, but it is ideal for what we need. Charge lasts a reasonable amount of time.
Fantastic value for money. Having had 2 Dyson handhelds in the past, both of which eventually had problems with charging and holding charges, I went for this as a matter of curiosity as it was so well priced. It can’t match the Dyson for ergonomics or cosmetic build quality, but it matches and improves upon every other area. Excellent.
Purchased just for my conservatory but use downstairs as all tiled floors but I have used it on my stairs as so lightweight, tried it on my bedroom carpet but hard work as I have a thick piled carpet. I would recommend this product to anyone and such great value.
I bought this while I researched the more expensive versions of cordless vacuum cleaners. I knew if it wasn’t great Amazon would refund me. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It’s a marvellous little vacuum. Lightweight, efficient and so easy to clean. I’ve just purchased the replacement filters so I can swap them over when they need washing and while I’m waiting for the other one to dry.
I have also bought the Shark Stratos 400 model which is slightly heavier so I use that downstairs. This cheaper one was a fifth of the price of the Shark!
Bought this as a second vacuum cleaner mainly for daily use cleaning up dog hairs. I have a Doberman, and boy he sheds all the time and everywhere. Secondary use is to clean the car. Main cleaner is a corded Shark.
This cleaner is good on laminate flooring and tiles. Needs to be put on max power for carpets and rugs. Easy to use, sits unobtrusively in the corner on charge.
Improvements would be anti hair wrap cleaning head (family memers have long hair) and perhaps a stair tool.
Summary, lightweight, easy to use, run time has been fine but used mainly on normal power – max as you would expect saps the battery faster, so for me with mainly hard floors, this works well for me.
Materials seem a little cheap for the price however the device functions well, LEDs on the front are effective, the suction is just as good as a standard vacuum and the device is easy to charge and holds charge well.
Detatched the device is good for vacuuming around coving and getting rid of cobwebs. Attached the vacuum deals well with cleaning laminate and short pile carpet.
When stowing the vacuum its not very stable which probably wont matter if stowing out of sight.
Overall does the job well and cheaper alternative to big brands.
I bought this cordless vacuum cleaner to deal with spiders and insects which always manage to be out of reach by hand (my daughter cant cope with spiders). We keep it upstairs so is always on hand and very quick and easy to use. It seems well made and is much cheaper than branded ones and certainly does the job it was intended for, and is then very easy to open and release the critters outside in the garden. We use a Henry for the house, which although, bulky and a pain, cant be beaten on suction by any cordless. My wife is a cleaner and has used most cordless vacuums and they all perform much the same, not very good suction and limited battery life. However, for light cleaning duties I would recommend this cleaner.
I would have expected to have to pay a massive premium to get a vacuum cleaner as quiet as this. I used to dread vacuuming because they’re normally noisy enough to drown out everything (TV, radios. pneumatic drills…) but you could probably use this one in the middle of the night without disturbing anyone. Now all that stands between me and a dust free home is my laziness.
This hoover has all the capabilities of a Dyson in my opinion for a fraction of the price. It has great suction and is really sturdy. Even though it is light to carry.
It’s is fantastic at picking up hair but because it’s so easy to clean and take care of – this isn’t an issue.
I would prefer the handheld connection to be a bit more robust when tackling heavier jobs like stairs and carpet edges.
My other issue is that the battery charge doesn’t last too long. I can’t compare this to a Dyson but you get about 30mins of continual use before you have to charge it again – which can become a problem for bigger houses/jobs. Or if like me you forget to put it back on charge after use.
I would recommend.
I love everything about this hoover- especially for the price but it’s important to note:
my hoover didnt come with the short suction brush accessory and when placing the hoover against walls,
if the hoover was to fall down it can leave a blue paint residue on the wall. However this is relatively easy to wipe down. Biggest issue is the missing brush which is show in the product photos
I have a ball Dyson for main clean.
Watching family using cordless vacuum cleaner inspired me to purchase one.
Not the cheapest on market, this cleaner has to be cleaned after use, definitely by third usage.
It’s convenient, handy and pretty straightforward to assemble and use, a 15 minute task.
I think this particular cleaner would struggle with cleaning a large house, for the purpose i want it for, its reasonable.
Basic and does pretty much what it says, ideal for cleaning up the areas i need it for.
Hi!
I had been looking for a cordless vacuum cleaner for my house for a while when i stumbled upon this one. My parents have a dyson at their house, which i could definitely not afford on my salary. However, this product, which i have been using for almost 5 months now, is as good as the dyson vacuum cleaner. This thing runs for a GOOD while before it discharges. Lovely suction power as well. The sound it makes isnt too loud either. Would recommend 10/10!
Good vacuum, picks up well excellent value better than expected
