Would this work as a primary home vacuum?

This is a high efficiency shop vac. Not suitable for routine carpet cleaning. There are HEPA units made for routine household cleaning that would likely serve you better. They include carpet beater bars etc.

Not really. More of a shop vac. I think it would be inconvenient to move around in a house.

If you have the room for it.not great for every day use for carpets.if you are goin to use it as a hepa, you will go through bags... unit works great for my contracting needs.

I think it would do good. I've always used a shop vac but this has a great suction & is so light & portable, I would definitely think it would be ideal. I use it for dog hair- lab to be specific- and have no complaints after 6 months.

Yes, it will but it does best on bare floors and very low pile carpets. It is not a substitute for a vacuum!

We used to have a model which attached to our own vacuum but this one, as you are aware, is a canister model. All I can tell you is that we are pleased with this unit and it seems to have plenty of power and suction. This is a great deal more convenient than hauling out the regular vac to hook up to. Good luck.

I think so! We have hardwood with some area rugs and it's been our sole vacuum for just about a month. We'll likely need to pull out the Electrolux just to vacuum off the bricks on our woodstove hearth, but I really can't fault the Roomba for not getting in the deep mortar joints on our brick work. We were thinking about picking up a small handheld vac (like the Shark 12 volt) to make such brick work and stairs a breeze.

Absolutely. It's just made by Dyson but any vaccuum will pick it up. Stuff works really well. Good luck

Great question. I haven't tried it. I don't think it is strong enough for an entire house but could work for smaller stations around a work shop. Just my guess and not based on any data. Just like a central system, you would need to keep the other suction points closed when not in use in order to draw full suction on the opening in use. I may try it now that you've brought up the question.

I also have three dogs and was given a Roomba for Christmas. You WILL still have to use your regular old vaccuum even though you have a Roomba. It will probably be great on your hardwood floors--likely a big help. However, on the carpet, it will probably just do 'maintenance-quality', picking up quite a bit of hair, but still not replacing a good manual vaccumming. (But hey, every little bit helps when have multiple pets). I run mine every day, and I appreciate its ability to perform damage-control every day with the "kids'" daily shedding, supplemented by my own once or twice a week regular vaccuuming. I empty the bin every time it completes a cycle. It only takes two seconds. If you try to run it will a full bin, it won't be able to pick up anything very well, just like a regular vaccuum. One more very important thing-- since you have pets, you'll have to be extra dilligent about cleaning the brush and the rubber thing next to brush. The brush is relatively easy to clean with the cleaning tool, but the rubber thing next to the brush can get hair wrapped around these tricky grooves next to its wheels--its kind of time consuming, but if you don't keep those things clean than its bad for the Roomba. Oh, and for other pet people out there, I was at Roomba's website the other day and they have now came out with a Roomba for homes with pets, so you may want to look into that if you are considering buying a Roomba. The Roomba Sage for Pets is like 219.00, and the Roomba Discovery for Pets is around 300.00. The brushes are supposed to be easier to clean than the standard Roomba.

Nope, it's not made for that kind of function. I would look for a vacuum bottle. You can find short ones if you that is what you need.

I wouldn't replace a regular vacuum with it because of carpet and such. It doesn't have a brushed power head for the nap of carpet. Fortunately I don't know about spill clean up yet. Sorry

yes! I think so, because from how we experience of use, its one powerful vacuum, thats why we bought 3 more for relatives. One down side though, the charge drains faster when use on carpets. Hope this helps.

I have read that some people use it to vacuum their rug or entire house. In that case it probably would. I only use it for pet hair on my furniture and have no problem. The filter around the motor gets clogged and would cause it to overheat and shut off. That's just basic for small motors.

It's a vacuum...sure it will. just don't expect to vaccum the whole house with it.

It's designed for shop vac. The opening is probably too large for a regular vacuum unless you can rig up something to make the connection airtight.

This is a small vacuum and doesn't have a power head. It isn't suitable for whole house cleaning. This vaccum is great for stairs (of which I have many), car interiors, curtains and upholstery. I suppose if you've got all hardwood or tile floors, and only needed a vacuum for periferal things, you'd be okay. It's very lightweight and portable. I hope this helps.

It is acceptable. Keep in mind it is a small, light weight "touch-up" vac. It will not replace a regular vacuum cleaner but works great for what I bought it for which is to pick up pet hair, etc between weekend cleaning.

Yes, but why would you want to fill your house vacuum with saw dust. Small shop vacs are very affordable.
