Summary: Great Performance, Outdated Battery Technology 2010-07-25
Comment: In terms of suction power, this is the best portable vac we have ever seen or used. It really works great! We bought two of these a couple of years ago (one for upstairs, one for downstairs), and now just bought two more to replace the originals. Obviously we like them, in spite of the drawbacks.
What are the drawbacks? The biggest is that these vacs use NiCad batteries, and NiCads must be FULLY discharged each time before recharging. Repeated small partial charges reduce the battery capacity. So don't use the vac for just a short time and then return it to the charger -- use it for a long time or for multiple times until it begins to run noticeably slower, before recharging. We had to replace our original, perfectly-good-otherwise units because they got to the point where they would only run for a few seconds before the batteries were essentially exhausted. As a practical matter, the batteries are not replaceable and it is easier and more economical to simply buy new units.
Other, smaller quibbles: The vac is quite noisy when running (maybe that's just part of being powerful), and emptying the dirt/dust compartment can be messy until you develop a proper technique.
Overall, the performance is more important than the drawbacks in our opinion, and we recommend these units. We're going to be more careful with battery charging this time, and hope to get many years of good service from them.
