How Well does the vacuum actually work? Does it leave much of a mess?

It works really well for my husbands scruffy beard. Holds a lot of hair and does not make any mess. It's wonderful! No more cleaning his hair out of the sink!

It doesn't always work perfectly, but it is so much better than not having one!

The hose itself works fine and is very easy to use. The hose is permanently attached to the machine. You can change out the cleaning attachments. The brushes clog up easily and are very hard to clean. The item you are cleaning needs to be well vacuumed first or you will have a hard time cleaning the attachments. The suction is very poor. I read where some people use fans to completely dry their carpets. I bought a wet vac because I am allergic to mold and cannot risk any fluid being left in the carpet. The wet vac probably soaked up about 25% of the fluid in the carpet. It will leave it wet. The hose itself works fine and is very easy to use. The hose is permanently attached to the machine.

it is really good.The cyclone system is a marked improvement on traditional vacuum cleaners -- there are no bags to replace and the suction doesn't decrease as it suck up more dirt. so many times i have left the vaccum on in error on my carpet, and when i removed it, it was awesome cleaned , i can confidentally say it is Good!

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up. Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

I have three pets so vacuum thoroughly before cleaning the carpet. I have not had any problem with the Hoover. it cleans up easily.

I mostly use the vacuum to clean up around the litter boxes. That fine powder and hair coats the filter until it's pretty darn thick, and I've never seen it lose any noticeable amount of suction. So for me, no, it doesn't seem to clog at all.

I think what it does is funnel the crunchy debris/dirt into the vacuum part - or somewhere that the vac can suck it up. Update on The Bailey (my name for the Neato) I can't imagine keeping up with the dogs/cats/dust/dirt without this guy. Even running it every day, I have to clean the filter in the middle of a run.

I haven' had a problem at all. I do make sure there are any larger chunks of things on the floor though. A piece of glass might flip around in the beater bar and scratch the wood. That's the case with any vacuum I suppose. I've been really happy with it. Only complaint is that the cord gets in the way.

I've had this vacuum for almost two years and I've never had any problems. I was impressed with it from day one and it still works great. I do clean the filters regularly, which is very easy to do.

It does not work as a regular vacuum cleaner where the dirt goes in a bag or so.... it sucks the dirt pass it through the hose out... I filter the dirty water and the clean water goes in a separate container so it can be used again.

it does an excellent job, but is not a substitute for vacuum. the dirt is sucked up into the sweeper, and there are 2 buttons to squeeze to empty the dirt. all of the little brushes underneath can be taken out to clean them. mine does a good job on cat litter. the only thing you must be careful about is: DON'T LEAVE THE BATTERY PLUGGED IN OVERNIGHT! this will totally wear it out and you'll need a new one.

It picks up everything well. Just make sure you don't turn it off right after to sweep up the litter. Let it suck it up for a few minutes, I have Maine Coon and he does kick it out everywhere. And as a side know it does pet hair really well also.

Well it is kind of loud I guess but if it's louder than other vacuums it's not enough to be bothersome at least to me. It is super lightweight and portable and it gets your carpet really, really clean as long you empty the canister and clean the filter regularly. It's the best vacuum I have ever purchased. Even though it's not the high end expensive type of vacuum like Dyson I would still buy 3 or 4 of them even if I was a millionaire. I often bring it upstairs to my bedroom from the living room while my old vacuum is still in my bedroom taking up space. It's way better than my old one especially since it is so lightwieght and portable. Best of all it works really well at getting the carpet clean.

I have an 1130 sq ft condo and it cleans it all in about 1 hour. It will go all over the house until the bateery is low then it will go recharge itself. Keep in mind that the vacuum is not very powerful. The way it cleans is by going over the same area multiple times. It also does not have hugh storage area for dirt, dust, crumbs, hair, sand, or whatever is on your floor. And it does not clean shag carpet well. Good points are you start it and then leave it. It goes under the bed and most furniture. It will not fall off an upstairs area by going over the edge.

I also spot clean and there is no problem. When I vacuum I give it a going over with the brush attachment.

We have owned this vaccuum for a couple of years and it has worked properly. One key is to keep the filter clean. There is a tool supplied that allows you to clean it; if the light on the vaccuum starts to blink, it means the filter is dirty. For the money, it's a decent machine that is flexible in its function.

The suction hose works great. After having this vacuum a few months, I'm not as thrilled by it. I think it should be picking up better. Sometimes the dirt basket is full and other times it doesn't pick up much at all. Probably the operator.
