Expert Reviews


What experts liked

It has a powerful motor with good suction and comes with a hose and dust brush attachments.
We also like that it weighs less than four pounds (not having a battery cuts down on overall weight) making it light enough for anyone to use.
The top of the vac has a plastic extender that just flips down into place for a longer crevice tool. It flips back up and that’s it. It’s as simple as it can be, with no extra parts to lose.
-
This device is powered by a 7 amp motor via a 16 foot cord, which provides it with a great amount of suction power.
The integrated quick flip nozzle helps you get hard-to-reach places, while the bagless design makes it easy to empty.
- Bustle

What experts didn't like

The motor is very loud and there is not a spot provided in the vacuum to wrap the cord
The only drawback with this model is that it is tethered to a cord, which limits its mobility. You won’t be able to vacuum out your car with it, unless you have a serious extension cord.
There has been an issue with many users stating that the device gets hot after 10-15 minutes of continuous use. And with the high power also comes loud noise and a slight burning odor.
