Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the powerful suction and long battery life of the PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum. Many appreciate its ease of use, auto-empty feature, and lightweight design, while some found the noise level during the emptying process and the docking station to be less satisfactory. The price point was also mentioned as a potential drawback by some users.

    This portable vaccum cleaner is the best, and even more convenient after every cleaning floor, just hang on the self cleaning mount and the vaccum is ready for cleaning again.

    Really good for a smart vaccum that has been dependable starting through winter to spring Id say it's like a friend and is there when I need it just wish progressive wouldn't take 3 months to finally work sorry. I would pay for this vaccume out right as a gift for anyone it is great especially if you have patience and like taking the time to work with the space you have.

    Great vacuum when it works. I wouldn’t recommend for covering a large space as the battery doesn’t last long. Gets clogged often, doesn’t handle pet hair well. Would recommend if you don’t have pets or kids. Casual vacuum NOT heavy duty.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
