I am writing to you today regarding an issue I've experienced with my vacuum cleaner. The wand broke in less than a year of use. It seems to be a multi-purpose product that isn't particularly good at anything in particular. From the moment I first purchased it, the wand was loose and wobbly, and it eventually broke. I have used several vacuum cleaners over the years, bu...

Filter clogs up.
I bought this vacuum in October 2024 and unfortunately I don't think its all that great and definitely not for the price. It's convenient but doesn't pick up well and the small filter gets clogged in no time which prevents the debris being sucked into the bin. Gave three stars for the convenience of use.

Earmuffs required, feels like its going to break
I avoid using this new vacuum in favour of my 10-year-old model. It's very noisy and feels flimsy, like it's going to break, but it does a great job of cleaning, and I do love the easy empty function. If it's possible to revive the Model: IC160ANZ 26, I'd pay all over again to be rid of the stick version. I would go for another brand from here on if replacing again, whi...

Great Features But Needs Some Fine Tuning
I decided to buy this on a whim, and while I am so glad that I gave it a try, I have to say that it appears that the vacuum itself is too short for someone of my height (5'10") to use. I have attached a photo of it on it's stand with my Dyson V11 standing upright beside it in an attempt to show the height difference. I must say the shark was so short that I could barely...

Can be frustrating
Is a good vacuum when things aren’t getting stuck in it because of the bending part of the stick or when you try to vacuum anything bigger than a 10cent piece, also the automatic empty in great but sometimes doesn’t work if there’s anything covering the connections

Not worth the money - always getting clogged
We’ve had this for 6 months. The only good thing about it is the self emptying feature. Don’t waste your money, we spend more time cleaning out the main shaft than vacuuming - it’s too narrow and is always getting clogged. The battery takes a long time to recharge too!

Theory good - execution poor
I bought this vacuum a few months ago. Had an older Dyson and was sick of the way you had to empty it so the auto emptying appealed to me. The theory is good but execution is poor. As other reviews say it keeps getting blocked up by dust balls at the head of the vacuum or in the centre of the tube. I also notice that I have to put it on the stand properly or it wont...

Terrible battery life
I brought this vacuum a month ago.
While I love the auto empty feature and the vacuum seems powerful enough the battery is completely useless. I have never got more than 15 minutes use out of it no matter what setting it is on, so I always end up finishing my vacumning with my target cordless vacuum instead. Very disappointing 😕

Excellent product! Highly recommend.
Brought this vacuum recently after much research on my next vacuum upgrade. Safe to say I’m am more than happy with it. I have no complaints at all!
Great suction power and multi surface detection.
Auto-emptying feature is the best (plus the deodoriser!)
Multiple head attachments are super useful.

Don’t waste your money!
I should have bought an LG Cordzero instead!
This was great for about 5 minutes!
Even small items get stuck in the tube and it’s impossible to get them out.
I had to shove a long thin broom handle through and twist until it dislodged:
It started not sucking and just spitting out even the tiniest pieces of lint,dirt. Hair etc and right on the 12m mark the roller stopped...

Disappointing vacuum
I’ve had this vacuum for about 6 months. It’s useless, you spend more time unclogging the stick than actually vacuuming. When it’s not clogged it flicks everything around and takes a few goes to suck it up. Not worth the money, super disappointing!

Best Stock vacuum on the Market
I am a disabled veteran and have health issues which make it difficult for me to use a full-sized vacuum. This stick vacuum is the best I have ever used. The automatic emptying of the vacuum into a chamber that holds a month or more debris is phenomenal!!

Horrible.
Purchased over a year ago. Terrible vacuum. The diameter of the pipe is very small so jambs up with next to nothing. Inside there is a section that collects dust that cannot be cleaned. I have researched how and other people who have one say the same thing. I really like the auto empty base. Shame the actual vacume gets clogged up before I even get to use that part.

As soon as that handle breaks it’s absolutely junk
Just a really poor handle design.

Not ideal for families
Purchased this vacuum a little over a year ago. I think it would be a good vacuum for a single person or a couple with no pets. I think the vacuum has great suction and the concept of it is great. Unfortunately, I struggle with it working well for our family (5 of us) and our pets (dog and cat). It does fine sucking up the pet hair, but it struggles with the auto-empty ...
