I got this vacuum to replace a pet pro that wasn’t in stock and it does not even compare. I am not happy at all with the suction power or pick up power it has at all. I only used it once and was so unhappy that I won’t even bother using it again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the PowerBoost Handheld vacuum about a month ago for our vehicles and small messes in the kitchen / around the house. It's excellent for those very things. It's lightweight, easy-to-handle in tight(ish) spaces, and has good suction given its size. It'll suck up pretty much anything lighter than a penny (regular setting), and it's very easy to dump and clean out.
The one thing keeping it from the whole 5 stars is the runtime. The regular, non-boosted setting will give you about 15-20 minutes. I had enough juice to vacuum all the floor mats of my large SUV on one charge, and I took my sweet time. The low eco setting will give you the advertised 40, but the eco suction is rather weak. It's a setting I don't bother with. PowerBoost mode does indeed give a boost in suction, but the battery would probably run for 5-10 minutes if left on that settings. The upside is that the battery charges within a couple of hours.
That said, I didn't buy this vacuum to replace my regular corded vacuum. It doesn't have that kind of power, nor should you expect it to. It's well worth the money for small jobs, and I would gladly recommend it to friends and strangers reading this on the internet.
I brought this last week. I used it to vacuum out my car. What a difference it made. No cord plenty of suction. Did whole car battery still strong. My car never gets that dirty. It is great so far. It isn’t heavy very easy to get to tight places. Didn’t have to empty it til I was done. Easy to clean.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good handheld vacuum that has decent runtime, great suction and is easy to hold in the hand. The problem however is that the small mesh filter is cumbersome to clean as it gets clogged quickly. They should have put something behind it to help catch any particles that get through to further protect the hepa filter.
I received my cordless vaccum today , red all the instructions, takes 4 and one half hours to charge.the weight of the machine is fine. the tools that come with it need some work, no way to get into those tight places. the suction of this vaccum isn't that good, you have to go over the same spot over and over. I had enough time to do one front seat, then had to charge it for 4 and a half hours, it will take some time for me to finish the whole car.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
