It Works and is lightweight and easygoing.
Having had a Dyson that gave up after the second battery replacement, we decided to take a chance on this product. I’m packing it from the Boxx the quality was more than we imagined, but more importantly, it actually works and doesn’t exceptional job for the Price. Don’t be put off by the price this is a decent bit of kit.The biggest difference was the weight compared to the old Dyson we find it very manoeuverable and easy to operate. Also easy to carry up and down the stairs when needed. We have managed to hoover the whole house on the first day and the battery has lasted , and we put it to its test using high speed and low speed. Looking at what it’s just collected it probably makes us think the Dyson wasn’t that good after all.🥴

Very good - why spend more?
Was a bit sceptical but I'm genuinely astonished at how good this is for the price. I had one of the early Dyson cordless vacuums which was expensive and I was never that impressed. The performance of this is better, quieter, lighter - battery life is much longer and it's much easier to use and clean.The two heads work well and the brush on the pipe is really versatile - you can use it as a duster if you're careful.It doesn't have the power of an upright or Henry-style vac but for normal use it's good (I have a large 2 bed apartment with a mix of carpet and hard floors).If it lasts 3+ years I'll be very happy!

Great little vacuum
I purchased this vacuum to do a daily whip round the house. I have 3 dogs and 2 house rabbits so the house really does need vacuuming daily but I just don’t have the energy to get my normal vacuum out as it’s heavy and corded.I find this excellent for the price, it certainly doesn’t pick everything up and especially not larger pieces of debris but it deals with hair and crumbs quite easily so keeps the house in an acceptable state between proper vacuuming. I was actually quite surprised at how much hair it picked up off the rug!It’s very light but feels quite durable, I don’t have any issues with the battery — it was still showing as full battery after a quick 10 minutes around the house.Definitely don’t buy this expecting it to replace a standard vacuum, but for interim it’s excellent,

Amazing Hoover.
Works beautifully. Just the right one that I need, easy to use and light weight. Does is work beautifully. Easy to clean. Quite sturdy and stable and moves around well. Attachments are also to good. Reaches in places where we couldn’t even imagine those tiny gaps. It’s cordless and charges also quite quickly.

Great vacuum for a great price. Light and convenient. 5/5 recommend.
Bought this to replace a very old vacuum cleaner I had. Although good, my old vacuum is usually meant for carpet flooring and since moving to laminate, I don't need a big vacuum cleaner to lug around any more. This one is absolutely great for my needs and I definitely recommend it for those who have minimal flooring to clean, like rugs or mats. It's good on laminate flooring too, but I mainly use a mop for that.- Constructing the Vacuum cleaner was very easy as it's simply 3 parts to attach. It's very easy to remove if trying to to use as a short vacuum as it's simply a "hold down and pull apart" mechanism, so you won't have issues.- Noise level is just about as any vacuum cleaner in my opinion, especially if you use it at max level to get a stronger suction, it will be louder, but it's a vacuum cleaner, it will be loud.- You do get an attachment that you attach onto the main body of the vacuum cleaner when using it in the small design. It just helps get any bits stuck behind hard to reach places where the normal attachment can't reach.- The design is really nice too and also when charging it sits up right so you don't have to worry about balancing it anywhere.- The suction is great, I've had no issues, but then again I only use it for rugs and my long hallway rug. The other times I use it on the laminate floors, but I've no issues with the suction power as of yet.Overall, I would definitely recommend this. Great design, easy to charge and no need to deal with a long cable to plug in to use.

Great cordless vacuum.
Great cordless vacuum. The Max button is brilliant for an extra bit of boost.Suction is very good. It's perfect for my small 3 bed terrace. Works on all floor types, and the light is a nice feature. Charge lasts for 35mins. If you have a big house, maybe not for you. But for my cleaning needs, its just what I want. Light, portable, easy to store. 5/5 for sure..

Battery longevity
Initially a very good vacuum used daily for pet hair purchased in may 2025 but battery charge now has seriously slowly degraded only get 10 minutes of use and don't see any where you can get a replacement it was a decent vacuum for the price

Happy Purchase
This is my first cordless vacuum and it's now a game-changer. I will never go back to a corded vacuum again! For the price-point, it is very good. The suction is reliable thankfully. It is portable, and has various attachments which makes it versatile, easy to use, and as a result, I vacuum my home more often as it doesn't feel like the chore like it once was... actually, because of its ease, fairly enjoyable. The dust collection box is smaller than my previous vacuum, but not too difficult to empty/clean. I have only had this cleaner about 2 weeks, so I cannot comment on its long-term durability, but it seems fairly robust for what it is. So far, particularly for the cost, I would certainly recommend to others.

Totally worth the money
What a ripper!!Was dubious but the reviews were mixed.I can say this unit is very good. Yes, the turbo function is needed BUT it rips up cat fur from the rug very well, so much so, i was really surprised. Works awesome on furniture too.Battery life is decent. I have a 40m² apartment and it'll clean it 3 x easily on one charge.
User
Good purchase

Rapport qualité-prix extra !
Cet aspirateur sans fil est une véritable pépite en termes de rapport qualité-prix. J'ai été agréablement surprise par ses performances exceptionnelles, tout en étant abordable. Il offre une grande puissance d'aspiration, capable de nettoyer efficacement toutes les surfaces de ma maison.L'autonomie de la batterie est également bonne, me permettant de nettoyer plusieurs pièces sans avoir à la recharger fréquemment. De plus, son design compact et léger en fait un appareil pratique à utiliser et à ranger.Je suis particulièrement satisfaite de la polyvalence de cet aspirateur, capable de s'attaquer aux poils d'animaux, à la saleté incrustée et aux miettes avec facilité.Si vous recherchez un aspirateur sans fil qui offre des performances dignes des modèles haut de gamme à un prix abordable, ne cherchez pas plus loin. Cet aspirateur est un excellent investissement pour une maison propre et bien entretenue

Recensione a 5 stelle: Ottima potenza, ideale per chi ha animali in casa!
Ho acquistato questo aspirapolvere senza filo Akitas V8 e merita assolutamente 5 stelle. È comodissima, leggera e molto maneggevole. La potenza è sorprendente: ho un cane piccolo e questo aspirapolvere riesce ad aspirare benissimo tutti i suoi peli lunghi, sia dai pavimenti che dai tappeti. Un acquisto utilissimo per l'uso quotidiano che facilita tantissimo le pulizie. Consigliatissima!

BRILLIANT - Genuinely Impressive - A Really Great Product!
We have had ours for 9 months now. Absolutely awesome.Quality product.... its really effective. Very very surprised to be honest. And, actually, we have found it to work better than the super-expensive brands. Genuinely works well. Absolute bargain.Hope it doesn't self-destruct or break tomorrow! haa. I guess... even if it did...we got our money's worth. Would get another one.> Powerful, great charging> Awesome Ultra violet blue light feature> Easy to get the rubbish out of it> The head has a good rubber collector rather than these disgusting and flimsy brush rollers that most have.> Light and maneuvers around anything... toys, chairs, rugs. Would be good for the oldies.Good luck everyone.
