NIBC22 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

I am not one for getting excited by domestic appliances. Did this Vacuum excite me? No it didn't. However, I must admit to being impressed with its performance, given that it is a hand held battery model, and I can fully understand why it has such high ratings. I had just got fed up humping my old Vacuum about, the cables and tubes really were getting on my nerves, despite the fact that it is so powerful it is capable of lifting rugs off the floor. The power on this machine doesn't come close to that, but it is more than adequate for my twice weekly buzz round. The motorised head does a more than adequate job at giving the floors a fair brushing and the suction is strong enough to make sure everything is sucked up. There was some charge in it when it arrived, so I took it for a quick spin round the Living room, Dining area and hall and a few bottom steps. I didn't time myself, but it was on Full Power all the time and there was still charge left in it when I was finished. It feels sturdy, without being overly heavy and the attachments are very good. It doesn't make 'Hoovering' more enjoyable, as if it ever was, but it certainly makes it more convenient and as a result I will be more inclined to do it more often. Great value for money and I am very pleased that I got one. In the event that I find myself needing a bit more 'Muscle,' I'll will just get the 'Beast' out of the cupboard !! Lol.

This cleaner is very easy to use and extremely portable. It arrived very well packaged and the instruction manual is very clear. It draws up dust very effectively and is easy to empty. Only a couple of downsides - the main cleaning head is on a flexible tube, which means that it moves from side to side as you push it forward. This means that you have to consciously steer it to make it go straight ahead. Also, the body is made of very slippery plastic and this can make gripping the unit rather tricky when changing tools. But all round, very good for the price.

This is my first hoover and I’m slightly cash-strapped so wanted a budget one. Was a bit skeptical about the reviews but figured I’d give it a go and absolutely love it. It’s just me and my boyfriend who live in our two-bed flat, and almost all of our floors are hardwood, with just carpeted hallway and stairs. So far we’ve just been sweeping but it was such hard work and made us dread cleaning the flat. This hoover makes life so much easier - the suction power is very good, and I love all the different attachments for reaching places that haven’t been cleaned since we moved in a couple months ago! We have no pets so it’s only really dust, hair and kitchen crumbs it needs to pick up but it does so really well and I have no qualms with the functions. The only time the suction left some to be desired was when I didn’t realise it needed to be emptied (one round of the flat usually completely fills it), and when the battery dies and it’s on Eco mode (i find this mode so pointless because it barely sucks at all, but I manage to get 2 rounds of the flat before it needs charged so I don’t mind). Also if you’re using the floor attachment and it stops picking things up you may need to clean the little brush on the bottom - it tends to get fluff stuck to it. Easy fix though. Obviously if you have pets or more carpet or a larger house you may have a completely different experience but if your situation sounds similar to us i’d definitely recommend!

This vacuum started off OK but less than two years on and months of getting infuriated by it it's finally gone in the bin. Everything from loss of suction caused by the pipe splitting, dropping mess everywhere and hair wrap. I've battled with it all. I'm sick of buying useless housework tools, wasting money and getting stressed trying to do simple daily tasks. So much of what we buy with good intentions these days ends in misery. Sorry to write a bad review but I'm fed up with useless tools, including malfunctioning vacuum cleaners, faulty washing machines, dripping kettles and toasters that burn half the toast and leave the rest untoased. All these things make life stressful and waste our money. Please design things that are fit for purpose!

Absolutely loving this vacuum! (Yup ive reached that point in adulthood where i get excited about stuff like vacuums! XD) I was a bit reluctant to purchase originally because of how many reviews were saying "the suctions is nothing like my Dyson", however never having had that kind of money to spend on a vacuum I cant make that comparison, I can however say that this cost a 3rd of the price of my previous Vax vacuum and its been so much better! I have 2 small kids, 2 cats and a bloke to clean up after and this beaut never lets me down. The suction is great, takes quite a while for a full charge but it lasts ages!! Easily does my entire 3 bed house before even using 1 of its 3 bars. I love how fluid its movements are and how light weight it is to manoeuvre and lift. (I have CFS so this is a super important feature for me) . Another of my favourite things is how easily all the different compartments disassemble for cleaning! I honestly cant fault this vacuum in any area and found how well its performing for the price a pleasant surprise! Both my parents have now also brought one for their houses! (Copy cats :P ) Seriously though if you're looking for a lightweight, easy to clean vacuum with good battery life and fab suction power without paying a small fortune, this is the one for you! Hope you guys find this helpful :)
