Review: I've created a monster! - I got this primarily to vacuum
my dogs. That's right - I have two very large, very shedding
dogs. A first gen Labradoodle - 1st gen don't always get the
poodle coat. Mine didn't. He sheds. A LOT. I know people say
their dogs shed, but seriously, this guy takes it to a whole new
level. The other dog is a Rottweiler, who also sheds, but it's a
"normal" amount. I have a robot vacuum, but it cannot cope with
the volume of dog hair even running daily. The bin is always
full. If I'm home when it runs I empty it twice while it's
running. This is currently 4 days a week. The other three it gets
emptied daily. Neither of our dogs are really afraid of the
vacuum (before I had the robot one) so I figured it wouldn't be a
stretch to get them acclimated to being vacuumed. So I ordered
this and an attachment specifically designed to brush/vac a dog.
The attachment was a waste. In the end I use the hose of this
vacuum, without an attachment. Both dogs love it. However, the
Rottie, she's obsessed. She begins barking excitedly as soon as I
turn the vacuum on. I do use this to vacuum surfaces and corners
where the robot can't quite manage - shelves, entertainment
center, couches, corners, etc. My Rottie can't wait till it's her
turn. And even when I'm done with her and move on the the
non-Doodle Doodle, she is still trying to get in on the action.
Bot dogs mad the "oh that feels SO good" face - seems to me it
scratches the itch that they can never reach! Now - how does this
little guy perform as an actual vacuum as opposed to a dog
grooming implement? Surprisingly well! It has really powerful
suction. Works great on all the items I mentioned. I haven't used
it with the floor attachment but I can imagine that the folks who
complain about it on carpet didn't read the description very well
- there is no powered brush attachment and the suction is so
powerful that I wouldn't even try to use it on carpet except with
the crevice tool around baseboards, corners etc - I have all hard
surface floors so this won't ever be something I do. I also can't
speak to the length of the extension for the floor tool because I
haven't used it - our robot vac does that job. The extensions do
look short though so I can't imagine trying to vacuum my whole
house with this - but I can see using them to take out cobwebs!
As a lightweight, powerful hard floor vacuum, being used for
everything BUT the bulk of the floor, I give this high marks. As
a dog-grooming device I'm thrilled - the amount of fur and
(shudder) dander that I dumped from the bin was a real eye-opener
- and that's before I got to tapping out the filter (OMG that was
disgusting!). I would not use this on small dogs.... the suction
is powerful enough that you could probably lift a dog of 10lbs or
less off the floor. But for my large dogs (+/-100lbs each), it's
amazing. They love it, it gets the shed and hopefully it'll help
cut down on the wear on our robot vac. It's also small enough
that it tucks into our already packed hall closet easily. It
rolls smoothly on the floor and even when I took it all over it
didn't get tangled in it's cord. I also love that the cord
retracts into the body of the machine. Between this and the robot
vac, I will likely never use our expensive water basin vacuum
again! If you're looking for something to get corners, cobwebs;
to vacuum furniture and even large dogs, I don't think you can go
wrong with this... just be prepared for your dog to become an
addict.
Review: Incredible and lightweight – – love it! - I’ve been
trying to figure out for years which vacuum cleaners I need for
which jobs in my house. I have a Riccar for carpets and area
rugs. It is fantastic and very lightweight. I had another little
canister vacuum cleaner that was hand held and light for doing
hardwood floors and kitchen floors but the suction was so intense
that I couldn’t even use it. I also got, at one time, a Miele
canister that was supposed to be so great and I hated it because
it was so heavy. So when we moved to a different state and
brought my dream home and found out that I hated having cleaners
in my house, and I was going to have to clean my house at the age
of 75, I read review after review on desertcart about canister,
vacuum cleaners and decided to buy this one. It is absolutely
wonderful. The suction is fantastic but it has a little slider
that you can make it less if you need to which I always use. It
is extremely lightweight and can be carried or rolled. It goes
underneath the bed to clean the back of the bed behind the bed
and underneath furniture that is on hardwood floors and any other
nook and cranny that you need it to go. I absolutely love it. I
only use it on hard floors because my other vacuum cleaner works
so great on the carpet. I also love that it doesn’t have a bag
and I can see all the dirt and dust and stuff that I have picked
up! It makes me feel so good to know that I actually did
something useful and that my house is clean. It is also extremely
easy to unlock the canister that has to be dumped in the trash
and put it back again. The secret to this little vacuum cleaner
is that you have to clean it each time you use it meaning, you
have to dump out the contents, take out the filter and wash it
and also wash a little tiny filter that’s a little square cloth
in the unit itself. Is that a bother? Not to me. I simply rinse
everything out and then dry it over night and when it’s dry, I
put it back in the vacuum cleaner. So do I love this little baby
vacuum cleaner? Yes I do and I’m so happy to have it.
