Review on Upgraded Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner by RUMIA - Powerful Suction, Stainless Steel Filter, Lightweight & Portable, 7000Pa - Ideal for Home and Car by Jodi Ward

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple, light, great attachments

I was pleasantly surprised by this simple little handheld vacuum! First, it's far lighter than most I've tried in what seems like a lifelong search for the perfect handheld vacuum at the right price. And I've tried many types of Bissell and Shark vacuums - both the classic blue cordless vacuums and several types of larger multi-purpose pet vacuums (which have great suction but are bulky and heavy, and as usual the cord is always very limited). ). Then there's the red Black and Decker, the Dirt Devil, and the more expensive Anker (which stands out for its lightness compared to many others, but still isn't nearly as light as this little vacuum, although I have to admit that the Anker it does indeed have great battery life and suction power (which has been going for over 2 years btw) but in my opinion Anker's biggest downside is that it's sorely lacking in corners and under furniture mounts, which often leaves me reaching under stuff in frustration literally hand feeding them picking up dirt/fur/garbage into my vacuum and then sucking it up - a step I'd very much like to avoid if possible lol!There's always something missing.This lightweight little vacuum felt cheap and not at all playful out of the box, but I was pleasantly surprised by the decent suction power right out of the box!After charging for the recommended time (2-3 hours), the suction power is even better! I have 2 toddlers, 2 rescue dogs and a very fluffy cat lol. I know this may sound crazy lol but I love having an affordable handheld vacuum in almost every room in my apartment for a quick clean up or to catch those pesky new piles of fur/tumblewees that seem to appear out of nowhere every minute. 😂. Also, kids love to turn almost any snack/meal into an endless supply of crumbs, so this vacuum cleaner comes in very handy. I'll admit that having a canine cleaning crew that often tends to kids' food trails is cute at times, but definitely not the most efficient or hygienic way to clean up food that's fallen on the floor, and it can even be a disastrous one Pose danger when the kids are done. drop something like a grape or some chocolate, God forbid! Coming back to this vacuum cleaner, what I'm most impressed with is the attachments that come with it, although they are simple but incredibly effective! The long, thin nozzle for corners and hard-to-reach places is very precise. In addition there is also a long flexible hose which surprisingly I haven't seen on many other brands and models I've used but now that I've tried it I have to say I like its versatility. and achieve! I also like the 2 suction modes, although I find both modes are powerful enough for your daily quick cleaning. I haven't used this vacuum continuously for long, but I imagine it will be similar to other rechargeable handheld vacuums in this price range. I'll be sure to post an update as soon as I try to clean a very spooky room with a litter box. This repeatedly puts most vacuum cleaners to the ultimate test. From heavy strewn debris, to scraps of carpet scraped from his scratching post, to cat food to cat hair strewn clinging to everything, to the long non-stop use it normally takes me to clean everything, most cordless vacuums can not meet this requirement. . . This job has killed the batteries on most of my handheld vacuums in the past, but I'm curious to see how this little device performs. I will definitely post an update as soon as I solve this scenario. And finally, I know this can be a very silly little feature, but I was actually oddly pleased with the little plastic button cover that was on the vacuum! It happens more times than you can imagine that one of my girls or pets accidentally pushes, leans or steps on the button on my old hand vacuum that I kept on my bedroom floor lol. It seems such a minor thing, but when the sudden roar of a vacuum cleaner wakes my sleeping one-year-old, or puts my cat or chihuahua mix into shock (and often my chihuahua gets into a fight or standoff with a random noisemaker 😂 ) , it's actually a great relief that I can close the button and maybe leave the vacuum cleaner behind. Well at least as long as I can follow the cover art before it inevitably gets lost I guess lol. The big downside is that it's only glued on (to protect the power button during transport I guess?), so it's completely removable; It probably wasn't intended as a permanent button cover, although I plan to try my best to use it as one. I'll try to remember to try hard not to lose the little piece of plastic that sometimes brings peace (unintended cheesy pun 😆) in my hectic home of furballs and 2 1/2 and 1 year old - the biggest vacuum - can preserve cleaner challenge which i had guessed lol! This vacuum even includes a carrying case so I can zip it up and keep track of all the attachments and all the detachable components more easily. This is definitely a plus in my book! All in all, the vacuum is obviously brand new so far, but I'm definitely pleased with its performance, light weight (it's probably the lightest handheld vacuum I've owned), versatility and ease of use. I will definitely be taking this little baby with me in my car for the many necessary cleanings I encounter all the time! Again, all that remains is to see how long it lasts and how long it lasts on a charge after continuous use. Also, it's advertised as a wet/dry vacuum so I'm definitely curious to see how it will perform when moisture and/or wet spills are added to the equation! If it passes these tests, I would definitely recommend this simple little vacuum cleaner to its more expensive branded counterparts! So far I have to say that I am very satisfied with my purchase! *** Addendum **** I've found after a few uses that if you don't empty the vacuum EVERY time, things you've previously vacuumed, especially if they're relatively "heavy" like flakes or similar, fall out immediately when you use the vacuum cleaner. to use it a second time 😫! It actually comes out right in front and I need to hurry up and vacuum it all up again! It's quite annoying, especially when I just want to quickly clean up a small mess of dog hair or dust and the canister isn't even close to full! So now I have to be very careful to ALWAYS hold it upright until I turn on the suction, or I literally MUST empty the contents of the vacuum EVERY time I use it. Normally I would deduct a star for that. But the battery seems to be holding up a charge well, at least so far. It's still very new though so we'll see what happens in a while lol. I will fully update my review accordingly and include any other issues I may encounter while using it. I also think most people are fed up with the longevity of these battery-powered portable handheld vacuums (always my main concern lol), so I'll address that if (or if, lol) I start running into these issues. *** Also the small cover button is already lost as feared but definitely expected lol. The part of my review that comes with this button cover (which was only taped on, most likely for protection during shipping) can pretty much be ignored unless you can find a way to keep it up after the tape has been applied. deleted laugh. I did NOT succeed myself 😂 By the way, I haven't tried going to the toilet yet, so I'll update as promised as soon as I have the courage and maybe overcome the fear of overloading this little vacuum cleaner. Maybe for now it's just a bedroom cleaning/car vacuum hoping it lasts longer lol. Also, I do NOT want the rubbish I've vacuumed to fall out again if I can't empty the bin right away, and I have a feeling this will inevitably happen 😕. So if I'm not throwing out the trash after every use, it's probably best not to try the awful "cat" in the Astrophe toilet, lol. Anyway, thanks and happy cleaners!
