Those who have bought the vacuum have raved about it, and there are many five-star reviews.

“Great vacuum,” one shopper wrote.

“Ideal for our apartment and well worth the money. Works great to vacuum dog hair on shaggy carpet, little less so on low-pile carpet. The lights are really helpful and the battery life is decent too. Absolutely worth the money and would recommend.”

Another added: “Very pleased.

This thing is awesome. The battery lasts for ages, the suction is great and the light on the floor attachment makes finding all dirty easy and it works a treat with low lighting.”

While a third said: “Great little vacuum, lightweight and strong suction. Cannot fault, well price and would buy again and/or recommend highly”.
