This stick vacuum is just okay. The battery life is short and the pick up ability is fair. I can see the pet hair and dust with the green light, but it does not pick up on the first pass. It struggles on area rugs with red warning light indicating a blockage which I have never been able to clear. It also struggles picking up litter on hard wood floors. I end up using on low pile rugs and clean hardwood floors with broom and dustpan. The handheld vacuum does work well on the stairs.
I’ve always used an upright vac. I’ve dragged them more miles than I care to remember. My sister finally convinced me to get a stick vac. I was positive it could not possibly be as good as my old vac. Well I filled the cup twice. My carpets never looked so good. I thought they were fading. Now I’m telling my friends what to buy. We agree that my Levoit cleans better than her (other brand).
The vortexIQ pro vacuum is great, it totally beat my expectations. To start, the green light actually works, compared to my old stick vacuum I can see WAAY more dust on my floors. On top of that, I love that it stands up so i can leave it around without having it leaning or fall over (my old one falls and the canister pops open spraying dust everywhere) and last, I like that it can go all the way to the ground, I can clean all the dust under my bed without having to do weird angles.
This cordless vacuum has been a game changer for me! The green light is not a gimmick. It really works and makes it easy to see the dust on hardwood floor, and the vacuum picks up almost all of it. It’s easy to assemble, charge, clean, and the attachments are simple to use. It also feels very well built. I’m extremely happy with it. It has made my life easier and my house noticeably cleaner!
I love my new vacuum! I used to hate vacuuming because my only experience was with heavy vacuums, long cords, and loud noise. But this one is so lightweight and easy to use, with no long cord to deal with. I especially love the green light. It helps me see all the hair and dust I would have otherwise missed. Now I’m actually in charge of vacuuming the house! My husband loves this change too.
