Review on ๐Ÿงน IHome Lightweight Stick Vacuum Cleaner: Efficient Cleaning at Your Fingertips by Mark Greenwood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cleaning the filter unit was difficult and frustrating.

I just liked this vacuum cleaner from iHome because it's light, versatile and rechargeable. Unfortunately, I'm not as excited as I had hoped. And although there are positive aspects, such as the ability to convert it into a handheld vacuum cleaner, a light on the head and small nozzles for cleaning, cleaning this vacuum cleaner after use turned out to be a big minus. I am not exaggerating when I say that cleaning the dirt compartment and filters takes a lot of effort. I struggled to remove the 3 stage filter assembly for cleaning due to the poor fit of the gasket which offered quite a bit of resistance and had to be pulled out. Needless to say, it was just as frustrating as trying to put it back together after cleaning it. The parts don't just snap into place as one might expect; You have to fiddle with them and really put them in place to transplant them. And while I was fumbling with the filters, all the dust that was in the chamber fell on me and into the air. (I also had a friend try this process to see if it got any better with it, but unfortunately his experience mirrored my suction power. I also don't care how this vacuum turns on. You have to pull to turn it on You set the trigger firmly and if you want continuous operation you have to use a separate lever that sits above it.I miss the simplicity and ease of just having a power button.I also think it's important to share that the Power Head roller brush is made is rare and very soft bristles which seem more suited to hard floors The bristles are not hard enough to effectively lift and beat out deeper dirt from the carpet Bottom line I am not impressed at all with the overall quality, design and efficiency of this vacuum cleaner .At this price I expected a lot more.I have a video of this vacuum cleaner in action (I have carpet powder and crack crumbs scattered on the carpet) and uploaded photos of the product so you can take a closer look. I sincerely hope that together with my experience they will help you to make the best decision for your needs. Many Thanks.
