EVC3001 Cordless Stick Vacuum with 45 Minute Runtime, 1.1 Qt. Large Dust Cup, 3 in 1 Wall Mounted Accessory Storage, and LED Display

I primarily bought this so I could vacuum daily (quickly) since I have two cats and mostly hardwood floors.It was very easy to put together and figure out all of the moving parts. My battery came charged to 76% so I finished charging it to 100%. That took about an hour and a half and it shut off on its own when charged.I started off on the low power setting for my hardwoods where there is mainly just dust and cat fur and that setting worked great. The vacuum head pivots around furniture legs which is a nice feature. It also has a smaller head so it fits between and under A LOT more things than my regular vac.I love the lights on the front! To the bare eye, I thought the floors were looking pretty clean but the lights told me otherwise. It actually made me want to look for more. It was crazy to see how much more was being picked up than I thought was on the floor.Next, I went to the second power because I found it was more effective to clean around the cat bowls where there were larger pieces to pick up like kibbles. Being able to change the power depending on what you are vacuuming makes it easy to manage the battery. It's really cool too that you can monitor the battery level as you go. The digital panel is extremely easy to read and it looks very modern.Once I got to my area rug, the middle speed didn't pick up the cat hair as well so I moved the power up again, aware I'd have less time on that setting. After a few passes, the hair did come up. One thing to note is that on the max power, and on carpet, you'll need a little more elbow grease to operate the vacuum. I had to lift the unit up slightly so it would be able to glide over the rug easier. I do know that this vac really isn't meant to deep clean carpets the way a corded vac does but for light cleaning it works really well.Then it was time to empty the full canister. The loose stuff dropped out easily. Just a small amount of the pet hair had to be pulled out manually from the upper part of the canister. My Dad has a Dyson and he has to do the same thing so I guess that's common because of the way the filter is situated. I was really surprised to see not only the amount of fur picked but also larger particles and a TON of tiny particles.I vacuumed two more bedrooms and 2 baths and was pretty much done. To be able to zip around the bathrooms in about 2 minutes each was amazing! I used to dread having to haul my vac in to clean them. The bedrooms have low pile carpet so I just vacuumed the spots where I could see debris and did a quick pass over the rest. I still had 26% power left when I was all finished. My apartment is 1500 square feet so I did feel like I had adequate power to get the entire job done and the battery was not an issue.The next day I went around a few spots to pick up some tracked cat litter and did several areas in the kitchen. The battery didn't drop at all. I cannot believe how convenient it is to do little quick jobs like that. I especially think that it makes vacuuming so easy, you'll do it more often making it less likely you'll need to do the whole house at once. I know it sounds weird, but it makes it kinda fun.Also what I like is it doesn't have one of those huge rechargeable bases that are ugly and take up space (and get dirty). And, from what I have read in some reviews here, the company has outstanding customer service and is very responsive. So, kind of hard to find a down side.During my research to buy one of these I realized that EVERY stick vac has flaws. Some lack suction, some lack features, some lack LED lights, some lack battery power, some lack accessories, and some are just not designed well. It really comes down to your budget, what you need it for, and the features that you really want.If you do lightweight/general/frequent cleaning kind of like what I described above, you'll love this vac! And, if you've never owned a stick vacuum before, like myself, you are in for a real treat. This vac is a game changer :)

Exactly what I want. It is very difficult for me to vacuum while keeping control of any cord. Most vacuums are too heavy to deal with both issues. (Wheelchair user.) The suction is adequate (not the strongest, but very satisfactory). The touch panel indicates how much battery time is left.(The battery is tricky to install at first.) I reviewed at least 15 other makes and models. Some were over 8 lbs. The features of this stick vacuum are a bonus. I'm happy I purchased this make and model. I wish it didn't have a light so that there would be more battery time. The stronger the suction chosen, the more battery is used. (So I bought another battery!) The cannister holds about two cups of dust and debris. BUT!!! The more I use it, the more I realize that it is top heavy. It has become difficult for me to hold the top part (the piece with the battery) because of its weight. The weight should be at the bottom - not the top.

When I first received this "New" V30, I noticed that it was "Used". I contacted Evereze customer service and they responded to me within several hours. I had initially was going to ask for a replacement but also gave them the option of refunding a portion of monies paid if I were to keep this one. I have to say, they're customer service is TOP NOTCH! They gladly refunded me some money, the same day, and helped with extra battery. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.As far as the V30 goes, I'm in love. I've had my Dyson for about 3 years and started having issues about 4-5 months ago. Bought a new battery, new filters and it still won't hold a charge. Even making some weird, high pitched noises. Went to vacuum up some junk the other day and it quit after 2 minutes (supposedly on full charge). Needed a backup, so I bought this one after reading reviews.This vacuum is lighter feeling than the Dyson.. Plus! This one has a light to light up what you normally miss... Plus! This one shows you the battery life left on screen... Plus! With a smaller head width, gets under furniture better... Plus! Suction power seems to really get the job done, so I'm very happy with that... Plus! And finally, the filters are easier to clean... Plus! Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. I figured after the price I paid for the Dyson, it would have lasted longer than it did. So, bottom line is this... If I have to purchase another one in the next year or two, I will still be saving money and it seems to be working just as well as the Dyson did (at first).***I will update if there appears to be issues with this later. ***

Update 01/22: DO NOT BUY! This is now a piece of trash we are having to throw away. The vacuum does not have any suction and now makes a bigger mess than you started with. Wanted to love it but we ended up disappointed and looking for a new one. Update 02/25 Customer service replaced this with a second replacement that also ended up in the trash. This is a quality issue. Don’t bother buying.Previous Update: The Evereze customer support team has offered to provide a small credit to me in a attempt to provide a more satisfactory experience with this product. As I appreciate them reaching out to their customers to provide a better experience in the future, I have increased my rating accordingly.I wanted to love this vacuum so bad. Clearly by the rating, that’s not happening.This vacuum is sleek looking, easy to assemble and disassemble and maneuver around the house. However, after requesting a replacement battery for the defective (wouldn’t last more than about 3 minutes)first battery, trying the new battery that was sent, and experiencing the same situation with that one..I am finally giving up hope. The vacuum might have been nearly perfect if it would’ve actually vacuumed for more than a few minutes. Look elsewhere, friends.
