EICOBOT Cordless 20Kpa Vacuum Cleaner

I have a Dyson. And a Kirby. And a Dyad. And a Roborock S7 Max V. I also have a bunch of dogs and cats. I know my vacuums and I heavily rely on them. I wasn’t expecting this to become a part of my regular vac routine, but it has! It is a good machine and works well. I don’t think suction is *quite* as good as Dyson, but on high, it’s comparable. It does what I need it to do, and I’m happy with it. It’s also nice to have a pink vacuum. Lol.

Cordless is the way to go – especially in small apartments ! The battery pact is easy to remove & charge – & it runs long enough to vacuum my entire space with time to spare. It’s easy to store , easy to use as regular size & as handheld vac , easy to empty . I don’t need my large vacuum- this one does a better job ! It’s well made, sturdy – but not too heavy. Great value for the cost .

As with anything, it’s important to set realistic expectations prior to using an item and/or deciding if it suits the intended purpose well. I will admit, I had initially expected more from this stick vacuum, but have found it suitable for my ADJUSTED expectations. I was offered this item for free, as part of the Vine Program and had never owned a stick vacuum before. I live in a two-story house and thought it might be a great second, upstairs vacuum and then maybe I wouldn’t have to lug my full-size one up and down the stairs. When it arrived, I realized it’s basically a dust-buster with a longer reach.

It was packed really nicely, was easy to assemble, and installing the hanger for it in my pantry was a cinch. It’s light enough for my 9 yo and 12 yo to use, convenient enough that my husband will use it to vacuum under couch cushions without complaints about his back, and has pretty good suction. But the first thing I noticed as I put it together, was that the bristles on the roller brush are very soft, not stiff like normal vacuum bristles. This basically precludes it from being used on rugs and carpet, unless you have those flat, printed rugs (which I do have a couple). So expectations adjusted, and now it is my vacuum for downstairs, on the tile and hardwood, where my larger vacuum can’t reach and that my robot vacuum misses (we have 5 animals that shed and my kids are walking messes so I vacuum a lot). I also like it for furniture. I’ve even had the kids use it for a few minutes after dinner to get crumbs up from under the kitchen table. It does a good job with all that and is easy to empty into the garbage when we’re done. I haven’t tested the longevity of the battery but I’ve used it a total of about 30 min and it’s still going. For comparison, our dust-buster hand vac lasts about 20 min before needing a charge. The only complaint I have is that there’s no place to snap on the attachments to store them on the unit itself, so they just sit loose in a bin on a shelf in my pantry.

Overall, I am happy with it but wouldn’t pay the retail price for it. My dust-buster was about $60 and I wouldn’t pay much more for the convenience of a stick vacuum, no matter the brand.

My kids do all of the vacuuming around here so they should probably be trusted. They love that this has an variable length tube so that even the shorter kids can use it comfortably. They claim it works better than the Dyson especially in spinning the beater brush. And it seems to hold a charge just as long. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the mounting bracket is too meager and has no way to hold the attachments which means they will inevitably get lost.
