We have this as back up to a wired vacuum cleaner and use it for a quick tidy up. It’s not really powerful enough to be your only vacuum but it is easy to use, charges quickly and is pretty versatile with the hand held ideal for stairs and furniture
The suction is more than strong enough for home use but also ideal for holiday home, caravan or camping.
Sits in charging dock comfortably and is very stable, once at full charge the vacuum seems to last really well but does depend on what power you use.
Great if space is at a premium, the vacuum is slim and the handle folds down. The fact the vacuum can also pop off the main body to become a handheld is great for the places a traditional vacuum can’t get to.
All in all its a very good value and practical cordless vacuum.
It’s powerful enough to pick crumbs/lightweight debris off a hard floor or even a carpet. The brush is ideal for short-pile carpets and hard floors alike (Brush can not be switched off however, so would be cautious using it on wooden floors).
The detachable handheld part is ideal for window sills, skirting boards, behind a chair or under the car seats, it is very powerful with the crevice tool attached.
Battery life is excellent, just make sure you pop it back on the charger after every use and you’ll never run out of juice. Would definitely recommend.
It comes all nicely packaged in quite a small box with all the parts and accessories that you need. The main hoover part is a small handheld vacuum that can be used on its own. This is great for travelling and getting into places with awkward angles. Then if you want to use it as a proper vacuum cleaner, you can slot it into the handle and place the brush part on the bottom.
Now you have buttons on top of the handle to power the hoover on or off as well as change between the 2 different suction strengths just as you could on the main vacuum part. In order to charge the vacuum, you just plug in the stand and then leave it stood upright in the stand and it is always charged and ready for you to use.
Also included is a different brush attachment as well as a spare filter which is very handy to have. the whole vacuum is very lightweight and portable making it perfect for small spaces. At only 80 when writing, it has great suction and does everything you would want. I would definitely recommend.
I really like the Joey compact.
The 20V lithium battery gives you a working time of up to 30 minutes of continuous use and on turbo mode, it will give you up to 15 minutes of a more powerful suction use.
What’s not mentioned is the fact it has a motorised brush bar, it cannot handle deeper piles that well. It also has a bank of lights at the front, to help you clean in dimly lit areas and two washable HEPA filters, that can be removed and washed under a running tap, then dried and replaced with the one that’s already dry.
This needed a little assembly which was a bit daunting when I first opened the box. But I was able to figure it out pretty quickly with some help from the instructions and the picture of the completed item.
I was amazed frankly by how light this was. It is bagless so entities directly from the cylinder .
Of course it doesn’t have the suction power of your Dysons or your Sharks .
But I have to tell you that for light jobs this is great. And being light itself, vacuuming is much less of a chore. It sits in the charging station and lifts off easily.
This is well made and great for the price. For that, 5 stars !
This is a lightweight vacuum which is great for small quick run round but not really an alternative to a traditional more powerful hoover. This is very light and manouevreable but the suction power is limited. It has plenty of charge if it is put back on charge after each use so you need space to keep it near an electric socket.
4 Stars for 4 Reasons:
1. Very lightweight
2. good battery power
3. Good versatility with handheld option
4. Compact
I would recommend, the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it isn’t the most powerful.
This vacuum cleaner arrived in its own sturdy, branded cardboard box. Inside, the contents were packed in plastic bags inside ‘egg box’ cardboard to protect them in transit.
The box contains:
* The handheld vacuum cleaner.
* The upright frame.
* Floor cleaning head.
* Clip together base/charging station.
* Crevice/brush attachment for hand held cleaner.
* Mains charger with 2m cord.
* Spare HEPA filter.
* Instructions.
Assembly simply requires slotting the floor head into the upright frame and slotting the hand held unit into the upright frame. The charging base back also needs to be slotted into the base. All of this took literally a couple of minutes.
When on charge the power button on the hand held unit pulses white and then goes off when the battery is fully charged.
This machine’s first outing was as an upright. We have a bad combination of light carpet and a couple of black cats. When they choose to sleep in a pool of sunshine they leave dark patches of black fur on the carpet. This machine coped remarkably well at removing the cat fur. It took a few passes where our mains vacuum takes a couple but it was quick and easy.
I then used the hand held device (which simply unclips from the upright frame with the press of a button) to clean the dust out of my keyboard. Once again, it did a good job.
I got this cleaner to keep upstairs in the wardrobe so that I can do a quick vacuum upstairs without having to go downstairs and carry up the mains vacuum cleaner. Obviously, a lightweight battery vacuum cleaner is never going to clean as thoroughly and quickly as a mains one but I’m impressed with how this machine performs. I’ve only used it upstairs (3 bedrooms, bathroom and landing) but there seems to be plenty of power in the battery and I think it would do the whole house on one charge easily.
In use it is light and manoeuvrable and it is easy to get the head under low furniture or beds and the built in LED lights do a good job of illuminating these spaces. It performs well on carpets and hard floors and the hand held device is very easy to detach for curtains and the like. The translucent collection chamber just unclips from the main unit for emptying.
The filters are washable and two are supplied so you can use one if the other is drying.
I haven’t had this machine long enough to comment on its long term durability or performance but I’ll update this review if there’s anything to report.
This is a powerful, well made and versatile little cleaner. Its footprint is tiny and the folding arm makes it incredibly easy to store as it requires so little space. It’s perfect for the reason I got it but it would also be an ideal primary vacuum cleaner for a small house or flat. I really am impressed with this little machine and at 79.99 it is reasonably priced so I’m happy to give it 5 stars.
The 20V lithium battery gives you a working time of up to 30 minutes of continuous use and on turbo mode, it will give you up to 15 minutes of a more powerful suction use.
What’s not mentioned is the fact it has a motorised brush bar, which helps to brush deep into carpet pile, but there is a limit, like other makes of cleaners, on the hight of carpet pile it can handle, it cannot handle deeper piles. It also has a bank of lights at the front, to help you clean in dimly lit areas and two washable HEPA filters, that can be removed and washed under a running tap, then dried and replaced with the one that’s already dry.
The vacuum cleaner comes with a charging station, so when you have finished vacuuming, just park it in the charging station, and it will be ready for the next time you want to use it.
The handle folds down for easy storage in a cupboard or under the stairs. It all slots together rather easily, and the hand held unit just pops out and slides in with a push of a button. To empty it, just press the side release buttons on the container, and lift it out, it’s so simple and lightweight. The only problem, although it’s not really a problem, is that there is nowhere to store the tool for using with the hand unit, they usually supply somewhere to clip it onto the main body of the cleaner. So it will have to live under the stairs till it’s wanted.
We use ours, and keep it upstairs, it saves taking our heavy one upstairs, which is getting harder and harder to do now, and also use it for the stairs and in the car.
I know the run time doesn’t seem long, but it’s the same as a known rechargeable brand that my son has, and it’s long enough, we have found, to clean the 4 rooms that we have upstairs. I used my expensive vacuum cleaner, then used this one straight afterwards, and it was still picked up more fluff and grit, showing it has great suction power.
Battery charging time is stated at 5 hours, I cannot confirm or deny this, as I just place it in the charging station and find it’s fully charged next time I want to use it. I’ve timed the running times both on normal and turbo, and they are accurate as stated.
Reference my video, it really isn’t as noisy as its portrayed in the video, I always find my phones microphone makes things whine, or sound louder than they do.
A great lightweight vacuum cleaner at 2kg, that I’m happy to recommend, even my mother in law uses it, it’s so lightweight, I might have just lost it to her.
The charging time of 5 hours is about right and the run time quoted is correct too. It has incredible suction for a rechargeable unit when on high power but you do only get 15 minutes – you can get quite a lot done in 15 minutes though when you’ve got something that picks up crumbs and dust like the handheld bit of this does. When it’s on its rollers it does pick up really well on hard floors on both full and low power, it’s not brilliant on rugs but with 3 dogs I don’t expect it to cope with all their hair. It picks up everyday dust etc though and if you don’t have pets it could probably deal with a short rug.
You can turn it on and off using the button on the lift away part or the top of the handle and there’s another button on the handle to adjust the power.
Unlike rechargeable stick vacuums this will stand upright while you move things to vacuum round them, so you don’t need to worry about it falling. It has really good LED lights which are great for under furniture.
The lift off is super easy to operate, just push a button and it’s away and it clicks back in effortlessly. You’ve got a brush and nozzle attachment to make cleaning easier. The attachment slots in and when not in use stands on the charging stand.
The stand is compact and the vacuum sits easily and neatly on it.
The filter is easy to remove and clean, the bin easy to empty and spacious enough. You get a spare filter too, so you don’t have to wait for a washed one to dry.
The price seems high but you’re getting 2 vacuums in 1. When you look at it like that and compare it with other vacuums it doesn’t seem too bad.
It’s a pretty good vacuum. Not very heavy duty, hence the ‘light weight’ it does its job well and using it is very simple. The new ‘Joey’ is easy to pick up and easy to move and manoeuvre with one arm. The head swivels and easily finds its way under tables and hard to reach areas.
The handheld portion of the vacuum easy to remove if I need something more portable to clean the sofas or car’s interior. Also the handheld is easy to pop out and to remove its contents without making a big mess. The hand folds down, decreasing the height by half for easy storage.
‘Joey’ is easy to set in the docking station and will remain upright, which is great. The docking station can be fit to floor board eventually, both would fit in my cupboard underneath the stairs.
The battery holds up around 25-30 minutes, so the manufacturer’s 30-minutes claim is actually true. The turbo mode sucks the juice out of the battery twice as fast, which is understandable. If I’d discover anything new, good or bad, I’ll then update my review.
So far it gets the job done very well and I’m glad I have replaced my old vacuum for this lightweight one.
First off, it uses lithium-ion batteries, so the chances of it no longer charging after a year (I’m looking at you B&D) are slim. It also charges fast and keeps working until it cuts out, rather than a tortious slow death.
You get the rather decent hand-held vacuum with on/off button, replaceable filter (spare included) and crevice tool attachment. It’s got really good suction and works well.
The handle attachment has this just clip into it at the base, where you can clip on the carpet brush head. The vacuum makes contact with the handle, so you’ve on/off buttons higher up to control it, and even a high/low button that’s not available on the hand-held part. It also delivers power to the head so you’ve rotating brushes and LED lights.
Works much better than I expected as an upright, and even though the weight is at the bottom it’s still easy to hold and manoeuvre. Picks up lots of stuff (the carpet shown was pre-vacuuming) including cat hair. Actually made a good job on my back door carpet too, which is fuzzy and retains debris that even my mains vacuum struggles with.
Easy to empty and has a decent capacity. I’ve done 5 rooms on a single charge and it was still going strong, so probably good enough for a whole house a couple of times. You get a mounting plate with charger built in and a mains adaptor, so it will charge when tidied away.
