Review on VonHaus Lightweight Handheld Filtration Accessories by Alicia Hintze

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Okay, but take it as it is.

Do you need a vacuum cleaner to help with small clumps of dust here and there? Want to spend less than $40? Then this is the vacuum for you, my friend. This is probably NOT a vacuum for you if: • You're the type of person who says, "I'd like to speak to a manager” more than once or twice every ten years. • You have a large room that needs constant vacuuming. • You have carpets of any thickness. • You are afraid of power cables (long ones). • You are usually clumsy or don't tend to your things. So this little guy showed up just in time while I was painting the floors. I needed something lightweight that could pick up dust from the floor before painting so I didn't have little sticky bugs on the smooth surface of the paint film. easy to assemble, small. Cons: Small canister, small filter, fine ambient dust means more filter emptying, all plastic, outlets point in an odd direction, and bottom mount ridiculously small. It would be great if you have a small room with wooden floors or need to keep the camper or RV clean. This is not the vacuum for you if you have a large, carpeted room. Once this little floor painting is done it will live in my workshops and be used at the end of the night instead of my big broom for trimming fabric and random threads. And maybe stripped down to be hosed down as a shoulder strap machine, but I can be pretty lazy so let's look at this little suggestion. It doesn't have a stand, so you need to take care of it a little. If dropped, this plastic will definitely crack and/or shatter. So it would be with such plastic. I am happy with them. This floor attachment is so ridiculously small and clunky that I ended up putting a Frankenstein hardwood floor attachment from an old Eureka on top so I can actually cover some ground, but for $35 I'm fine with that. This modification also helped with the direction of the exhaust. As before, the exhaust vents tended to kick up dust and debris either side of the way, leading to the comical situation of you chasing dust while getting in the way of other dust. I didn't want to be the Keystone cleaning cop, so when I added a larger floor nozzle, I also gave a new longer tube. The higher the floor, the less dust disturbs the floor dust. That's all. It is in order. It's got a long cord, it vacuums well, and it's fine if you're not trying to vacuum mac and cheese, drywall dust, or the like. Also, it costs less than $50, which is probably wickedly cheap and we'll all have to karmically pay for it at some point. Plastic will definitely break if not handled properly, so yes. Perhaps don't use it as a baseball bat and don't keep "collectible" porcelain angel figurines among your stash. Keep it upright in the pantry and don't use it to smack things and you'll be fine. And 1 1/8 inch nozzles. My Frankenstein work combined a whistle from an old Orek with a wooden nozzle from an old Eureka. use to get the best result I could put together.

Pros
  • We look forward to it
Cons
  • Almost everything is included
