Pifco P28036 Rechargeable Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Turbo Brush, 140 W

Exactly what I wanted, vacuum is very good, its very light, it picks up everything and scrubs the carpet pile, standing it up a little, which gives a nice clean look, I did a whole house with charge to spare, it collected an impressive amount of dust and fine sand, picked up a few screws without argument and easy to empty and clean.The powered rotating brush is effective, I bought this with my elderly mother in mind and I have not seen her so pleased in years, she evicted her old corded one immediately. I have ordered another for myself, its very well manufactured and the bits click together nicely, although fitting the headwithout the extension pole is way tighter than with it,Just to be sure,it would go,I used a bit of muscle to get it on and off again so it can be done without damage, suggest a tiny smear of Vaseline and get someone else to do it a couple of times first, it should ease off a bit.

The suction is powerful and the rotating brush works well. The unit is a little on the heavy side. My only issue is that the rotating floorbrush should attach to the main unit via a connector but it doesn't - the connector is exactly the same dimensions at the hole it's meant to plug into. I was sent a replacement connector, but it was identical to the original (facepalm). So I've only half the vacuum I paid for. However, I'm going to keep it because the alternative products in this price range are pretty awful.

This preformed so much better than I was expecting. I had been looking for a hand-held to use as an everyday cleaning solution to deal with 3 kids. It does a great job of picking up all sorts of dirt and the battery last long enough to get the job done. It is even better at cleaning corners and hard to reach areas than my regular vacuum. The power assisted brush is also a great addition.

Always annoying when an item arrives dead. It was a amazon warehouse product so its quite possible it was a previous faulty return that no one checked. I put the battery on charge and was pleased to see the battery was already charged going by the charger indicators but on fitting to the vacuum no life at all completely dead so it's hard to know if it was the vacuum, battery or battery charger at fault. However the fact the vacuum was surely in storage sometime and the charger never indicated any time charging at all just went straight to charged makes me think it was either a battery or battery charger fault. It looked like it could have been a nice budget cordless vacuum but as you can imagine I've lost confidence in it as a product and its long term reliability so feel its probably wise to move on. The exterior construction looked pretty good except the charger looked cheap and very light. The charger has an external PSU which I personally dislike and no wall bracket for storage is included with the product. It's a bit messy organising and storage wise. Some generic Chinese products are surprisingly good others may look good but have poor internal construction which limits it's lifespan and I feel this product is likely the latter type. The charge time is 5hrs or more so it's not like the charger or battery are getting charged at too rapid a rate. I wondered if the battery pack had some failed cells but if so there is not the logic in the charger to display any error signals with the LEDs it just goes straight to indicating the battery is charged which is unhelpful. I'm used to seeing li-ion batteries even fully charged ones be charged for a short period of time when you return them to the charger even if its only 10 seconds before the charger realises they are charged already.

This low rating is to reflect my short lived bad experience with the item.It was damaged out of the box, the filter holder was loose inside the dust container, upon closer inspection the filter holder had one of the flaps broken (this filter holder, twist locks into place using the two flaps)These things can happen, but my low rating isnt solely based on that broken flap. I tested the vacuum briefly and the suction is quite disappointing comparing to the product it is meant to replace.The build also feels quite cheap and flimsy for a £67 pound product that is replacing a 10 year old £14.99 product that was a true powerful sucker, this isn't really a good aspect of this product for the price.So unless you're wanting a secondary product to do extremely light work in between using your main vacuum, this really isnt for you.

I did a lot of research on Amazon into finding the right cordless vacuum cleaner to replace my big,heavy Dyson.I had a certain price in mind and only looked at 4 stars and above. Narrowed it down to 2 and then decided on this one. Have been really,really pleased with it. Motorised head is great and yes you do have to empty it after every use but this is easy to do. No more unwinding the flex,plugging in and lugging the old one around for me:)Just pick up and go. So light and easy to use on carpet and hard wood flooring. Does an excellent job. The battery lasts longer than I expected and charges very quickly. Would highly recommend this product and am glad I spent the time looking for the right one.

Pros:- One charge lasts longer than you think- Great replacement for dustpan and brush or full hoover for small spaces- Super easy to store out of the way- No fuss to empty and good capacity for intended use- Great selection of attachments- Solid build qualityCons:- Main body is a little heavy after using it for a while- Suction could be better, but fine for small bursts of regular vacuumingIf you want a vacuum that is great to just pick up for a quick, regular whip around (especially if you have hard floors and can see the dirt and dust appear quickly) this is a good product. It's also great for reaching hard to get spaces (under beds and furniture, ceiling corners). I'd recommend this product. Very happy with it.

its not easy to take apart ,i have to get my son to take it apart its light weight .... the battery life really isnt very good at all
