Vacmaster VSD1801 Cordless Handheld & Stick Vacuum Cleaner 2 in 1, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Powerful Lightweight for Hardwood Floor, Carpet and Pet Hair White

So far, I am very pleased with this machine. I charged it overnight and ran it this morning through what I thought was a clean house. It certainly destroyed that idea once I went through two or three rooms and then emptied the container. It picked up a lot of dust, hair, and other bits and pieces lying around as I have just moved into this place. It was very easy to assemble. I just following the manual if I needed it. I like the fact that is rechargeable but as of yet I have no idea how long it will run on one charge as I used it for less than an hour. It goes into corners very well, but I really had to work at getting my long hair out of the roller and I eventually resorted to scissors. That's not a problem and I still highly recommend this powerful little machine. The price was decent.

I bought this vacuum 5 months ago. I felt like I was taking a risk to buy it since I had never heard of the brand, but I am so glad I did. It’s very lightweight, swivels with ease, and has very powerful suction. It makes vacuuming a pleasure. I also like that it shines a light onto the area you are vacuuming. It’s great not having to deal with a cord or a heavy, clunky machine too. My kids even love it. They are 9 and 4 years old. They were so excited about it that they wanted to vacuum the whole house. It’s very easy for them to use. When my husband got home, both kids were excitedly telling him about this vacuum. Ha! He finally used it himself and commented on how nice it was. I am more motivated to vacuum now since it works so well and is so light and easy to use. I make it into a game for myself. How many rooms can I quickly vacuum before I lose battery? The battery seems to last longer than other cordless stick vacuums. I hope the machine lasts a long time. The vacuum has a spin brush that always spins. There is no way to turn it off. At first I was worried about this because, in my experience, spin brushes only spread debris on hard floors. Not so with this vacuum. The spin brush helps draw in dirt and works great on hard floors. It doesn’t kick any dirt away from the vacuum. I only have hard floors, so I cannot attest to how it works on carpet.Cons:As other reviewers noted, it doesn’t vacuum when being pulled backward, which is strange. There is some padding behind the open suction area that pushes dirt backward when dragging the vacuum backward, preventing the dirt from being sucked in. I don’t like this, but since the vacuum sucks everything up really well on one forward motion, this isn’t a deal breaker for me.Overall, the vacuum seems sturdy and well-built. However, there is a very thin, flimsy piece of plastic that locks the spin brush in place. The spin brush can be removed to clean hair and debris, but you have to press, squeeze, and rotate this flimsy piece of plastic to get it out. When I first saw this, I was shocked at how thin and cheap this part was, knowing it wouldn’t last long. It has lasted so far, but there is already a stress mark on the plastic where it is weakening. If it breaks, the spin brush will no longer stay in place. I will have to rig up tape or something.

I can’t believe how much I love this vacuum! I’m OCD about keeping my house clean and this is so useful and easy. I’m disabled with mobility challenges so the lightweight and cordless features are invaluable for me. The handheld unit easily separates and emptying the bin is very simple. No complicated assembly and i was able to tuck it away behind a coat rack so it’s concealed but easily accessible for a quick clean up any time I need it. My housekeeper vacuums the carpeted room in my house once a week with a big more powerful canister vacuum that is too cumbersome for me to use but I can use this for my daily pick ups in between the heavy duty cleaning that happens once a week. Even my husband had fun trying out this vacuum. After having it for a week, I decided I needed a second one for my basement guest suite. I had robot vacuums but they always seemed to miss the one area that most needed attention and this is easy to get right where it’s needed quickly. Charges quickly and holds the charge long enough to cover a large area. So glad I found this!

I honestly love this vacuum! I was a product tester for another stick vacuum (think JAWS) which convinced me I wanted a stick vacuum. This one is better! Seriously! It’s lightweight, the dust cup is large and easy to empty, it’s pretty intuitive to use, and is great on hardwood floors. The light is quite handy.I’m giving it 4 stars and not 5 because and I wish the charge lasted longer. Also it’s terrible on rugs and just ok on carpet. Running it over a throw rug makes the brush roller stop turning. The only way I’ve figured out to get the roller turning again is to turn it Off and then On. But all in all it’s a good product. I even took it on vacation in my camper and loved it there too (but not on rugs),
