Great little vac--I definitely recommend
919772
Love this little vacuum.  I got the 2.5 gallon model two years ago to clean up leaves and wood debris that accumulate on the floor near the doors of our wood stove when we add wood.  My upright vac clogged easily when I tried to pick up these things, and its HEPA filters would fill up quickly from the fine dust that accumulates around the wood stove.  I needed a vacuum that could handle both well.  This little Shop Vac did the trick.

I've found it handy for many other jobs as well.  I use it for any dry spill around the house when I need a quick fix (e.g., spilled glitter, sugar, potting soil, etc.).  It's lightweight and easily carried about.  I keep it hanging on a wall near the utility room and just grab it as needed and hang it back up.  I love that I don't have to worry about a HEPA filter clogging or wonder if the debris is too much for the vac to handle.

I also love it for suctioning dust from window sills.  I use it around base boards, corners, shelves, tight spaces, and other places where handling an upright vac hose is a hassle.

The exhaust blower is also useful.  I use it outdoors occasionally to blow dust and debris from things like the filters in my A/C window units.  Sure, I could suction that stuff, but using the exhaust feature outdoors means that I don't have the added step later of emptying the debris from the Shop Vac.

My 80-year-old mom has this vac and loves it for the same reasons that I do.  She has back problems, and upright vacuums are hard on her back.  This little vac is just right to carry around the house for spot cleaning.

I haven't used the wet pick up option, so I don't know how well that operates.

PROS:

--Lightweight
--Hangs on a wall
--Easy to carry
--Picks up larger debris and fine dust equally well
--Great for the car, too

CONS:

--6 foot cord is not enough
--Doesn't come with a strap so the user can carry it on his/her shoulder

TIPS:

--have an extension cord on hand for the vac unless you plan to use it in a really limited space (e.g., a work desk)
--buy extra filters when you purchase it if you plan to use it a lot as I do.  Saves trips to the store later.  Filters can be used a long time though if you shake them out well.
--consider buying the tools designed for electronics if you will use it in really tight spaces and crevices (I love these for cleaning the car)

I find the 6-foot cord impractical.  It's my only big complaint.  It really needs a 10-foot cord.  I keep an extension cord with mine all the time and that works fine.

Also, I wish the vac came with a carrying strap so that I could carry it on my shoulder.  The unit has a hard plastic handle for carrying, but it must be carried with one hand.  I like to use the vac to reach high places where I can't leave the unit on the floor.  I'm often using the wand with one hand and need the other hand to move objects (or hold a ladder), but it's occupied with the unit itself.  I've rigged up a carrying strap for the unit, but it would make more sense for Shop Vac to just provide a strap.

Despite the cons, I love this little vac.  Makes a great gift for anyone, but especially a person who:

-- has physical limitations and needs a light vacuum for spot cleaning
-- cleans larger debris or very fine debris that an upright won't handle
-- likes convenience and portability

Bottom line:  I highly recommend it.

I am really impressed with how light this vacuum is and despite it's relatively small size, it has an incredibly powerful suction.  I vacuum every week and the Hoover WindTunnel sucked up a TON of stuff from my floors.  Actually, a scary amount....I think my old vacuum was just pushing the dirt around instead of sucking it up!  Here are a few features I really enjoyed about the  Hoover WindTunnel:

Cord Length:  Love the nice long cord.  I plugged it in about the center of the house and got almost from one end to the other without moving the plug.  This is helpful when I am in a hurry!

Adjustable handle length:  My old vacuum does not have that and my 6 foot 3 inch husband would have to hunch over to vacuum.  This is much more comfortable for him to use.  And I am all for him doing more vacuuming!

Ease of Cleaning:  Just a push of a button ad the chamber housing all of the dirt comes right out.  No touching involved in getting the dirt out.  Just dump it over the trash can and reassemble.

Suction: As I mentioned earlier, this is a powerful vacuum and I think my floors are cleaner than they have been in years!

Weight:  Very light, no problem carrying this up the stairs one handed with the convenient handle on top of the unit.

With all of the hoses and the attachable arm, you have a LOT of reach with this vacuum.  You can easily reach the ceiling corners if you need to suck up cobwebs.  It is easy to convert from the hose attachment to the regular mode so you can get all the areas in one room and then move on.

There were one or two things I might change about this unit but they were pretty minor.  I have a couple of spots in my house where I like to use a wide, skinny attachment (under our large bird cage or on the dog bed) and I didn't really have the right tool to do that with.  But, then I realized that my old vacuum cleaner parts worked on the Hoover WindTunnel so I used those.  There must be some `standard' that attachments are made for?  The only other thing I think requires mentioning is that you do have to empty the dust catching cup fairly frequently.  It is relatively small and I started with an empty cup, emptied half way through the house and am almost full at the end of the house.  Of course, I have a pretty decent sized house and a very hairy dog.  Your experiences may vary.

Overall, I am very impressed with this vacuum.  It is extremely lightweight but still very powerful, even when you are using the hose attachment.  There is a push button to turn the brush head on and off so whether you have carpets, hardwood, or a combination of the two this should be a good selection for you.  Now, if I could just find someone to actually do the vacuuming for me it would be perfect!

Disclaimer:  I received a sample of this product to facilitate my review, but my opinions are entirely my own.

I'm very happy with this purchase, specifically because of the handheld option with the turbo brush and it's effectiveness at removing pug hair from a couch. The battery life is short, but that means it's delivering great suction during the window of time. I wouldn't use this for the whole house; I have a corded vacuum for that. This is for inconvenient places like the couch or car, and for that, it's perfect. The inclusion of another filter sweetens the deal even more.

This is a great small, but powerful vacuum.  It has great suction and the brush loosen dirt from the carpet and picks up crumbs from the tile floors.  It is lightweight and easily steerable with the ball handle attachment.  The best thing that I like the best is the fact that it is cordless and I don't have to worry about tripping over the cord.  The only drawback is the battery does not last for vacuuming  the full cleaning in one charge.  I have to charge it again before I can complete the whole house.  I have thought of vacuuming different rooms on different days, but so far that hasn't worked for me.  I'd like to rate this vacuum 5 stars, but can only give it 4.5 based on battery charge.

4.5 stars. This is my 2nd one as the other one was stolen.

For the size, its a great little vac. If you need something bigger, try the Rigid brand from Home depot. They have one thats a little bigger than this and the hose is almost 2 inches in diameter.  This fits very nicely in the back seat of my car and it barely takes up one seat. I wish the hose would snap connect vs just push connect. The gadgets that aren't in use aren't too sturdy and fall off here and there. I use this for general small jobs and I love the blower function as well.

Pleasantly surprised at the amount of stuff this battery powered vac picks up.  I use it on low pile area rugs and hardwoods primarily.  I swear it almost seems like it picks up as much as my Dyson canister.  The convenience is tremendous, I love having no cords or hoses to deal with.  I haven't tested the advertised battery life yet, but haven't run into any issues running it for 15 minutes or so.  The detachable hand vac feature is also very nice to have.

Just received this vacuum yesterday, and immediately loved it.
We have 2 dogs, and 2 cats and their fur balls are everywhere, and always my biggest cleaning issue. It sucked them up wonderfully.
I have nothing but wood and tile floors-no carpeting, and this little vaccum did great.
It also did pretty well on the piles of needles from our Christmas tree.
The attachments are kind of cheesey-not the greatest quality plastic-so we'll see how long they last, but other than that it seems to be a pretty good little vaccum.

I spent hours reading reviews of lightweight vacuums before buying this one. I'm glad I did and I'm just adding my voice to the pack. It's a small vac only suitable for small jobs or small apartments, but it has saved my life! I just leave it plugged in near the kitchen, and it's available to clean up crumbs or whatever any time I need it. I haven't touched my broom for two weeks.

  Clean the filter regularly and you will have the perfect lightweight gadget for vacuuming your small home.

This vacuum works really well and it's very powerful.  Because of it's small size, it is easy to handle and the accessories should handle the vast majority of situations one will probably face.  The hose is long enough for most cars and trucks and can reach each side of the floor if you place the vacuum on the passenger's seat.

This unit also functions as a blower by attaching the hose to the blower side (What a surprise!) .  The attachment is quite secure.

Negatives include the doors on each end of the vacuum.  They open too easily so some care is required when moving the vacuum from place to place.  The vacuum's tools fall out too easily as well.  I solved this problem with a couple of wraps of tape (painter's tape in my case).  I had to experiment to find out how much tape was necessary but that only took a few minutes.

The cord wraps very neatly around the base and there are slots to hold the end of the power cord in place.

I fits very easily in my service cars as I detail my ride.

I think this is a very well thought-out product and I expect to be using for quite some time.

This little vacuum is a gem! I bought it with the intention of using it in our camper, but it is so useful and handy that it is going to stay at the house until it is time to go camping--and I'll bring it back when I come home. Because I dread dragging out a bulky, heavy vacuum cleaner, I procrastinate and don't clean as often as I should. But when I got my VonHaus 600W (upon my daughter's recommendation), I liked it so much that I went on a cleaning binge! I has real suction. It has a small head and goes under  things and around the commode. It picks up surface litter on carpets. It grabs hair and dirt, even up next to the wall. It has a cord long enough to reach a large area. It has an adjustable handle, so it is comfortable to use. And it stands up by itself, without toppling over, when you are done. The price was amazing too. One more thing: there is a hole at the top of the handle so that I can just hang it from a cup hook under a shelf in my laundry room. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

This is a review of the Anker HomeVac Duo 2-in-1 Cordless Vacuum in black.  I absolutely love this duo vacuum.  It is lightweight and the swivel handle makes this a dream to use.  It has great suction and picks up everything from dust, lint, cat hair, litter, and cat food plus dirt and small rocks.  I love the stand up by itself feature and it is simple to separate to use the smaller hand held unit.  It couldn't be easier to clean, the washable hepa filter is great, and as for putting it back in the right way-just don't set it down or change hands.  Pull it out, clean off lint with your other hand and slip it back in-easy.

I can vacuum my 1800 square foot house (mostly tile) on one charge and could keep cleaning if necessary.  The only feature I would change is to have a place on the vacuum for the two attacnments.  I highly recommend this vacuum.  Also love the lights to help with vacuuming under things and in closets and it is quiet, not like a jet engine, which is a big plus for me.  There are no cons with this great little 2-in-1 stick vacuum.  I look forward to using it every day.  It is very sleek looking.

I knew upon unpacking this little vac that the quality is excellent.  The hose is very heavy duty, the attachments are much nicer the ones you get with a shop vac, and the motor housing along with the canister are very sturdy feeling.

I've seen reviews where people have had trouble with the filter - I have not at all yet.  I am using this vacuum to clean out a full size fireplace and I've sucked up some hot coals without any issues.  It gets pretty full fast because of the amount I clean up with it but, a simple tapping of the filter loosens and frees the ash and it's super easy to empty.  The fill indicator lets me know when I'm at capacity and the filter fits right back into place after emptying.

Very happy so far!

So it's been nine months now since we bought this so I think it's time for me to write my review.  And to be honest I really like it!  I was a bit skeptical because I have gone through many cordless vacs and none of them have met my expectations. But with this one so far so good.  I love the way it works on my small rugs that I have on my hardwood floors.  It picks everything up off of them  without eating the entire rug.  Granted I don't use it for my once or  twice a month heavy vacuuming throughout the house but for during the week or when you want to just do a quick cleanup of the kitchen hardwood floors it is awesome.  Contemplating on getting my daughter one because I like it so much.  Hubby says that he wishes it came with the second battery because apparently he has had it stop in the middle of a cleaning because of the battery but I have never had that happen to me.  Definitely recommend!

This is an amazing little vac and is quite powerful. I've used it a handful of time and it works great even on hardwood floors. I assumed it was cordless but that was my fault for not reading the description. The cord is long and the vac is great enough that it didn't deter me from keeping it. The only thing I don't like is the powerful jet of blowing air out of the back that points down. Since I have hardwood floors and am trying to clean up after a pet bird, the back side of the vac tends to blow the mess everywhere while the front tries to suck it up. I've worked around this by being more methodical in the direction of my approach and how I handle the vac, but it would have been better to point this jet a little more upward so as to not be scattering everything on the floor.

I found one at a thrift store that I support--for $15.  We'd just moved to a place with far more bare floors and already, I was tiring of the very frequent broom/dustpan routine.  So, I thought I'd risk the purchase.

It's very useful, very light, and very functional for my expectations.  Picks up lint and larger stuff and I'm glad to NOT have a beater bar that can kick the sand, etc. to another room.  I keep it running in my left hand while I do heavy dusting/cleaning with a rag in my right--dirty windowsills, for example, with excellent results and absolutely minimal cleanup.

After reading some of the earlier low grade reviews, I decided to take the machine to the garage to clean up some sawdust, debris, etc. and was pleasantly surprised.  It's not a shop vac and it won't pick up leaves, but it will surely do a great job of sucking up all the grit and dust--IF you do your part and keep it cleaned out.

I will get one for my mother who is in a very small apartment--for sure it will be easier for her to use than her mostrous, klunky Kirby (which, because of the weight and klunkiness, she uses rarely).

As with all vacuums, just empty it out very frequently--they will ALL suck better, keeping it over the dustbin whilst you brush out the foreign matter. Oh, and turn it on in the garage so that first dust after cleanup isn't inside the house.

(I never give five stars unless I cannot think of any improvements--and this thing could use a longer cord and I'm not so certain that I trust that little rubber flap--so I carry the machine around the house--head up/handle down, so there can be no spillage of already sucked up debris)

Compact, lightweight and strong suction.  Nice loooong power cord too. Excellent for a use in a portable dust extraction system like the one from Oneida where you need the recommended 5 HP, but not the roomy/potentially bulky collection bin with the vac motor.  Recc using a drywall-rated filter bag inside the drum to protect the included pleated filter which can clog rapidly leading to a loss of suction power and can be a real bugger to clean adequately.
Can't speak about durability as I've just started using it.
Negatives:  Not much room inside the collection drum for debris for use as a stand-alone vac (you will be emptying it frequently, but might be great for small jobs where you can't lug up or in a larger vac), but is excellent for powering a dust collection system. Probably my fault, but don't be mislead by the photo thinking that the hole in the top is either for intake or exhaust (which would have been brilliant for how I intend to use it) - the hole is simply a storage for one of the attachments and nothing else.  The exhaust is actually located on the rear side of the unit, setting just above where the plastic turns red and blows horizontally.  My vac came with an exhaust diffuser which is nice, but I can't say that it makes the unit noticeably quieter (this vac is much much quieter to begin with than my old-school Sears Craftsman which is so loud that you have to wear earmuffs) or helps with not blowing debris already located on the surface where the unit sits (it might help, I just don't know bc I haven't really checked).
What more could you ask for, for a little over $100 bucks!

I was looking for a great vacuum under $50, which I realize is a tough order.  I ordered this based on the Amazon reviews and I'm very glad I did. This little vacuum is very compact and packs a powerful punch.  I was so surprised to discover how dirty the carpet in my apartment actually was! A great feature about this is it doesn't need any bags and can be cleaned easy.  It's fairly small for a vacuum so of course the dirt compartment fills up quicky, but thats fine for me because I'm in the habit of emptying it regularly anyways.  The cord is also very long, which is nice because you can do several rooms at once without having to change outlets if you have a small setup.  I have a cat (short hair) and I think this is great for picking up pet hair, the extra add-ons also work well. It's very lightweight and easy to carry.  This was the perfect purchase for my needs, considering I have one cat, and a 2 bedroom apartment around 1000sq feet.  May not be ideal for a whole house, and it doesn't have the features of a $200+ vacuum, but still an awesome value, shipping was fast, comes pretty much ready to use right out of the box. I would highly recommend if your not looking to spend a lot on a vacuum.
