Effective and Optimal for a College Student!
As a college student, it is very important that an item is both effective and affordable. I had purchased a few models of vacuums before this one that were less expensive than this, however they were not as effective in cleaning nor did they have the longevity that this model has. It was definitely worth it to pay a little more for this model, as I've had it for a little over two years, and it still works great. I have a large floor carpet and a dog that sheds, which is not exactly the best combination for keeping the floor clean. However, this vacuum has made this a minimal problem! The high speed (it has a switch that allows you to switch between the fast speed and a slower speed) picks up small things quickly, such as food crumbs, dog hair, dust, dirt, and even other undetectable items. It works best for light cleaning, and is such an asset in cleaning hard to reach areas such as corners or shelves. I have even used it on my couch to get crumbs, on my windowsill, in my car, and even on my clothes when I have dog hair on me! The suction on this vacuum is very powerful and I have used this alone in my apartment without a larger hand-held vacuum and have not had problems. It holds charge pretty well (the greatest I've used it is about 45 minutes), but I always keep it charged as to not deplete the battery. It is easily transported and I can easily take it from room to room. Most importantly for me, this vacuum is clean and easy to keep clean! It does not leave any dust residue after it vacuums and the filter is easy to keep clean. After taking the time to clean, you don't want to spend an excessive amount of time cleaning your vacuum. At the same time, it's crucial for the longevity of the vacuum to makes sure that it is cleaned and not let the dirt accumulate. The suction does not work as effectively if there is build up. But the ease of cleaning this vacuum makes cleaning an effortless task! It is very easy to take apart (it is made up of the filter, the nozzle, and the holder). I make sure to check the filter after each use, and if the vacuum needs to be cleaned, I simply take off the nozzle (it has a button on the front part that you can press), empty the large contents that are contained within the nozzle into the garbage, and then twist the filter out. I tap on the filter and rotate it in order to unclog any debris that is contained in there or clinging to the filter, and then I clean the actual filter. It is worth the time that it takes to clean it (even though it really is not that time consuming at all), because the payoff is large. It retains the high suction power so that you can continue to use your vacuum. Additionally, it comes with a long nozzle that you can use as well as a supplement to this vacuum, but I've never used it. It reaches corners just as well without it, but I can see how it would be useful! This vacuum comes with a cradle that you place the vacuum into the charge. There is a little light that shines to designate that the vacuum is charging. I use the vacuum to almost its full capacity, and then I connect it when the battery is almost depleted. This way, I don't overcharge or undercharge the battery. The manual that comes with the vacuum states that you should have twelve to fifteen minutes of use depending on whatever setting you use. I usually use the high setting for heavier particles such as dog hair or any dirt on carpets, but the low setting is just as effective in picking up small items on less porous surfaces. It is lightweight and easy to transfer. The design is also optimal for usability, and avoids the problems of vacuums with a cord. It is also really easy to store and does not take up space at all. I am very satisfied with this vacuum overall; it has made my life a lot easier (and cleaner!)
