VacLife Handheld Vacuum, Cordless Hand Vacuum, Model: H-106, Silver (VL106)

Below is my initial update. I contacted Vaclife and they were really wonderful. They asked me to send a short video of the lights on the unit, and then told me the battery had indeed died. And then they sent me a new unit for free. It's an odd business model if you ask me, but reading the product instructions it looks like the battery only lasts for a year or two - very odd, but hey, if they send a new unit, I guess that's fine. The instructions for maintaining the battery are also somewhat onerous - how often you need to charge, how to keep it optimized. I would say the battery is the product's Achilles heel, but again, if they provide a new one, it's a moot point. The unit itself works great so... I can recommend this dust buster with the caveat that you need to be prepared to contact their AWESOME customer service if/when the battery dies.The vacuum worked just fine for about 9 months. Very minimal use, maybe 20 times overall. And then it died. I plugged it in, the red light blinked a few times, I thought it was charging, tried it the next day and nothing - still dead. I've tried plugging it in to different outlets, nothing. It's possible there's an issue with the actual plug, but who's to say, I'll try to contact the seller to get suggestions, but given the amount of use (~ 20 times give or take) and that it's only 9 months old, really very suspect product.

This Vacuum works very well. Powerful suction and easy to clean.We had it for about a year and the battery died.But, Lily and their customer service department came to the rescue and took care of the problem!Highly recommend!

This suction power works very well. The charging lasts for hours. The attachments are very useful. The only thing I don't like about it is cleaning it out which is very tedious. It doesn't hold much either so you have to keep cleaning it over and over. It works well enough though that I do recommend it.

I purchased this vacuum to replace a Shark handheld cordless vacuum whose battery had stopped charging after several years.  My Shark had been a strong, capable vacuum while it lasted (115 volts and with good attachments) and I was looking for another strong suction handheld with a reliable battery.  I knew I needed something that would pick up dog hair readily, and that would ideally have extension attachments suitable for the car and other tight places.In seeking a replacement, I ended up evaluating 3 models side-by-side:A.  Vaclife;B.  Hoover One Power; andC.  Hikeren Cordless.VacLife was the winner.  I found that, although Vaclife had the lowest wattage, the suction was comparable with Hoover (which, despite it's blaringly loud motor, did not suck stronger) and better than the Hikeren (which needed to be much closer to the item to pick it up), the run time was the longest of the 3 (though they were all close, Vaclife offered about 5 extra minutes at 30 minutes), the attachments were excellent (equal to Hikeren, superior to Hoover which had solely a crevice tool that chronically fell off its on-board mount), charge time was the fastest, and it was very lightweight (my back ached with the Hoover after 30 minutes).  VacLife was about $10 more than Hikeren and $35 less than Hoover, so a medium price point. I have fully depleted the battery at least 4-5 times over the course of a month, and used it for a variety of dirt, and the performance remains consistent and strong.In summary, what I liked about VacLife:1.  Strong, consistent suction;2.  Fairly quiet, dog could tolerate at close range;3.  Very lightweight;4.  Effective and well-designed attachments;5.  Long runtime + short charge time;6.  Exhaust is placed properly to not blow the dirt you are trying to vacuum all over as you approach it (this was a problem with Hikeren); and7.  A reasonable price point (especially if, as advertised in the warranty booklet, they will replace battery without cost at the 1+ year mark when they predict it will need it).Areas for improvement:1.  The filter is fabric, although reviews on Amazon made me think it was going to be a sturdier stainless steel one - however, they included a replacement filter, so that is a nice concession;2.  The filter sits in the strainer which sits in the dustcup - however, the hair and dust seems to lodge in the strainer and in the tip of the dust cup behind where it sucks.  The result is that the actual capacity of the rather generous dust cup is reduced to the much more modest capacity of the strainer because, once that fills up, you need to empty it or accept reduced suction power because of all the stuff crammed in there  - I would like to see a redesign of the filter placement that allows the entire dust cup to fill without obstructing the filter; and3.  It's a bit more time consuming to remove the filter for cleaning - you can't just pop open the dust cup and shake it out over a trash.  You must also remove the strainer, and swivel the filter out so that you can manually remove dirt and, in my case, dog hair, from the filter, shake that out (or wash it if desired), replace the filter, swivel to lock, line up the strainer with the rib in the dust cup and secure it, before reattaching the dust cup, so a bit more than a 1-2-3 task, but still effective and not a hardship.

The vacuum worked well even though the battery started draining quickly after a few years. When we reached out to customer service for a new filter, their rep Lily asked us if we had other issues and we mentioned the battery problem. After asking us a few more questions, we were sent a new vac. Lily was very patient with her us and took great care to make sure we were taken care of. Absolutely stellar customer service!

I really like this handheld vacuum. It is lightweight, but it has great suction power and decent battery life.It started making loud noise after a year and a half use. I emailed the seller customer service. I got an immediate response from Lily. And three days later I received a new one. It is a truly great customer service experience. Thank you Lily and VacLife! You are awesome!

I purchased this vacuum 2 years ago and love it! It has great suction power, charges relatively fast, comes with great attachments, and is easy to clean. What more could you ask for? Excellent customer service! When my vacuum recently began losing battery power and wouldn't hold a charge (after 2 yrs. of daily use, mind you) I contacted customer service like the owner's manual indicated. Lily was absolutely fabulous! Not only did she reply to each and every email immediately, but after some troubleshooting, she sent me a brand new replacement- for free! So, I can honestly say all positive comments in these reviews are true. Seriously, if you're in the market for a new hand vac, don't pass this one up. You won't be sorry. And yes. I am a real customer who hasn't been compensated for this review.

This vacuum cleaner does all we need it to do. It's an easy, effective way to help keep our home clean!

Cleans well. It picks up very fine dust as well as larger particles. Very responsive customer service.
