When I read the first review on this vacuum about it being smelly, I thought maybe not all of them would have the same issue. Since it was the strongest wet/dry cordless hand vacuum that I could find, I decided to order it anyway. It's a lot more powerful than our old 7.2 volt wet/dry Dustbuster. But, the smell that it gives off when in use is pretty strong. So, if you don't really need the wet pick-up feature too much (I don't pick up wet messes with the vacuum as often as I thought I would), I would recommend the Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster. It's gotten pretty good reviews and our Black & Decker held up well over the years.

This product is horrible! I own mine for approximately 6 months or so. As others have mentioned, there is a nasty smell emitted when you use it and there is NO storage for the accessories.

MY problem is that the battery no longer charges. I followed directions not to leave it on the charger all the time in order to prolong battery life. I would use it a few times before recharging. Eventually, I had to recharge it after each use. NOW, the battery does not charge at all!

I have tried many times to contact customer service via email. Never received a response! I have tried to contact customer service via telephone. A receptionist answers and says she is transferring to customer service, but no one picks up the phone.

I would personally recommend staying AWAY from this product!

I purchased the Readivac Cordless Vac mainly to clean my car and it works great. Having no cord is so much better than using others I have tried that have to have an extension cord. Works great on small clean ups on carpet or floors.

I bought this vacuum with a singular function in mind. I wanted to clean up my son's cheerio mess without a broom. since dry cheerios are light, anything should pick them up. This vacuum performed perfect for the first day. After that, it started making a slight noise when in use. Then picking it up and using it caused a loud noise. Then finally, I figured out the problem. The vacuum rotor popped off the motor spindle. It fell apart after less than 2 days. While it may work great for the first day, I can't recommend a product which only lasts two days of light use. Very poor quality control.

I've been very disappointed in this unit. It has a cheap feel about it,and I don't think it's very well balanced, weight wise. Most important, the suction is not very good for a unit of this size. I've also not been happy with the lack of storage for the included tools. You'd be much better off with a B&D Dust Buster - little more expensive, but worth it.

Just about nothing good about this poor investment. Loud, Smelly, and the poorest rechargable battery that may last a month or so before nearly losing all power. Don't think that you'll be the lucky one to follow the charging instructions and have an acceptable product. It's easy to disassemble and troubleshoot, in fact, short of the main thing (which is suction) the unit is well designed and built. DON'T BUY ONE.

I've owned this for about a year. Took good care of it, followed instructions, and didn't use it very frequently - no more than once every two weeks tops. Now the battery no longer holds any kind of charge - when it's turned on it emits a wimpery, sad little sound and has absolutely no suction. I did not purchase a cheapo model, I spent $40 on this and I expected it to last a lot longer and perform a lot better. I'd steer clear of this model.

This hand vac does what it promises but I have to use it in rooms where my birds aren't; it has a strong chemical smell even after 6 months of use.

We have had other hand vacuum's and we expected this to be a good product. To our disappointment we do not care for it at all. It does not pick up and it seems to be on low battery set up. We are ready to throw it out and purchase a different brand.

This was a gift that my Sister asked for. I picked it from Amazon so I could review a few of them. I don't personally know how good it works or how good it is holding out but, just after she received it she said she really liked it.
