VacLife VL726-RED Vacuum Car Handheld Red

Great price for a small, rechargeable vacuum, however, comparing it to a Bissell Pet Hai Eraser (the one I was replacing), the Bissell wins out - even though it’s a bit pricier. My thoughts: This vacuum seemed to have a nice suction and was even a bit more compact in size than the Bissell and much lighter, which creates a bit less fatigue on the hand if you’re using it a lot. I used it on the entry stairs and got quite a bit of dirt and dust from the carpet, and it seemed to easily pick up visible debris as well. It’s relatively light and easy to use. Even the attachments are smaller which, in this case, I think is a bonus. On the downside, the “roller attachment” is plastic paddle blades vs. and actual brush. As such, it does NOT remove pet hair well - from carpet, furniture or the cat trees. Since I have 3 cats, this is a key issue for me and one where the Bissell’s performance massively outshines this product. The collection bin is also much smaller so I would imagine the need to empty it more often (minor issue) but the fact that the bin is solid vs. Bissell’s see-through design, also makes it a bit lower rated. The power button is also much too close to the handle, and I kept turning it on and off unintentionally. I didn’t have time to test the length of the batter life, but its more of a pick up machine and neither of the machines have run out of juice while I was using them. I think my final verdict is to keep this vacuum in the garage for use in the car or for picking up saw dust and project debris. I’ll end up paying a bit more and ordering another Bissell Pet Hair Eraser for the house, stairs and cat furniture.
