At our home, we have hardwood floors with rugs in the main living spaces and bathrooms. Our previous vacuum would turn on and occasionally pick up a leaf here and there, but would visibly leave behind food crumbs and other things. Ultimately we just stopped using it (a Dirt Devil).
After looking around and researching vacuums on Amazon, we found out about this absolutely awesome cordless vacuum from Powerffy (and got it at a great deal during an Amazon sale). The main selling point for me was its "40Kpa" rating – Think about it as suction power. Many "Cheap" vacuums you can find on Amazon top out around 20Kpa with a few going as high as 30Kpa… but the 40Kpa rating on this vacuum means its good for sucking junk out of our 1" thick pile rugs in the kid's bedroom every good as the somewhat thinner rugs in our living room and bedroom.
You can adjust the suction speed yourself, or set the vacuum to "Automatic" and watch it detect and switch suction power on its own as you pass between rugs and flat wooden floors (and kitchen / bathroom tiles) on the fly!
If there's a single downside to it? This thing DOES run on a battery, and if its been the first time you've cleaned up a rug in a while, you MIGHT just use the ENTIRE CHARGE (around 30 minutes) of that battery to clean up a SINGLE rug… and it can take around 4 hours to fully charge again – But here's the GOOD news about that: In 30 minutes, your dirty rugs LOOK brighter than when they were hiding all that dust and pet hair that we can't see with the naked eye.
Kinda gross – But ONE of our rugs was hiding a kid's size shoebox of dust, lint, hair, food crumbs etc… and we had no idea! Worse? We were pulling similar loads of filth out of EVERY RUG IN OUR HOUSE (because our previous vacuum just wasn't doing the job properly!)
The suction on this thing at 40Kpa is strong enough that it will lift most corners of the rugs we have off the ground – Which is a WAY more desirable trait than you might think. I'm always surprised by how much junk this vacuum can pick up, given its somewhat limited runtime.
After a day or two of cleaning + recharging, there is overall LESS junk for the vacuum to pick up… which makes future cleanings much easier on the hardware. Now I can get away with doing a whole room or two with a single charge, and I'm finding way less junk in the collection container each time too.
If you have a LARGE house? Get this vacuum and an extra battery (or two)… and you'll have no problems getting it all banged out in an afternoon. I have a 4 bedroom, 2 living room, 2 bathroom space so it can take me a day or so to get the whole thing cleaned up with this vacuum… and I mean EVERYTHING. Blinds, behind the couch, under tables, vents… and if I really want to? It'll even clean up the car for us.
Yes – Short battery life, but dude – This thing outperforms our Shopvac when it comes to cleaning the house! I've *seen* the shopvac leave stuff behind on our rug… but this Powerffy vacuum is picking up stuff I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WAS THERE!
Highly recommended!
