This product is worthless & I would advise no one to buy this product. The battery did not last, and no manufacturer sells just the battery for replacement. Also, the charge will not hold for 20 minutes as stated in their product manual. This should be taken off the market & DeLonghi should stop false advertising!!!

I used to work at Electolux Home Products and the insiders tell me there is no reliable portable vac on the market. I didn't listen.

I bought at clearance centre and figured it was Delonghi and not Black & Decker, so I got it. For about a year, I thought differently, but then the battery died. What Customer Service I got , they said that you must drain battery and perform a full charge. Perhaps. When I did get a local accessory supplier, they informed that a replacement battery costs more than a new vac, it wasn't worth it.

Morale, Delonghi or no-name, portable vacs are disappointing.

The DeLonghi XM5080 wet/dry vacuum cleaner might look nice and has some noticeable suction power but if the battery wears out in a few months, its not worth it at all. The battery runs out of juice in a few months to a level it cannot even pick up small pieces of debris. I tried getting a replacement under the 1-yr warranty but couldn't. DeLonghi is not customer oriented.

Bought four of these because I like their floor heaters and expected a good product. The usage on all four combined is less than a few hours. They don't hold a charge. They don't have good suction. They are heavy, and now two of them do not even work. I have asked Delongi for my money back or replace them with something of quality. By first thought was to throw them in the trash, but I did pay about $140 for the four of them including shipping.

I thought I was going hi-tech getting this thing, but I'm back to using the low-end, no-name brand I thought I was replacing. I hardly used it, but in just a few months it went dead on me, although it says the battery is charged. I can't find the warranty, if there was one, and they have no website (though a page says, not in English, one is under construction) so I guess I'll just have to throw it out and buy something else.

so pleased that i'm now buying a second one for my vacation home

I couldn't design a more pathetic vacuum. Noisy beyond belief,with a small hole for picking up dirt. Recharging is much more difficult than a Black & Decker I once had. And the charge barely lasts more than a few minutes before it needs a new charge. Never again will I buy Delonghi anything.

The first time I used it, after only a few minutes of vacuuming, the suction was greatly reduced so I went to empty it. The dust/dirt got wedged in-between the cloth dust filter and the plastic cassette and it couldn't be shaken out, and there was no way to disassemble it to get the dirt out! Instead of just being able to shake the filter out and resume vacuuming, I had to rinse it out in the sink and give it a vigorous shake to get the dust/dirt to come out! The instructions say, "Take hold of the permanent filter and knock out the dust." No way!!! According to the instructions, the filter should be allowed to dry before vacuuming or the performance is reduced, so this caused further inconvenience. This is a terrible design! I cannot understand how DeLonghi could manufacture a product so poorly designed. I wanted a convenient way of vacuuming up a little dirt or pet hair, but instead I got more trouble than it was worth. I'm returning it.

The Hand Vac picks up dirt great. It is loud, however, and it's good if you have a strong arm when you use it.

It picks up the dirt with no problem. You need to have a strong arm to use it, and it is loud. I am happy with it.
