Abode Cyclonic STX-006E-140

Sucks like a woman posessed – Without a doubt one of the best vacuum cleaners I have ever found. It was sitting next to a clothing bin on Christmas morning. I thought that the poor people would have far more pressing things to want, so I grabbed it. Ideal for the shed and for cleaning the car. A major design flaw is that it catches fire after about 10 mins of cleaning and you have to let it cool down before you can use it again. It is best to use at night to really appreciate the light show. I wouldn't use it inside the house though. Outdoor use only. Big W should have thrown in a complimentary fire extinguisher with it. Make sure you have good insurance and don't wear flammable clothing whilst using it. Sucks like there is no tomorrow Catches fire

Dangerous – Dangerous to use....after a coiuple of uses when I turned the vacuum on you can see the sparks coming out of the back of the unit & smell burning plastic. Never again will I purchase an Abode product. Not worth returning due to the distance & cost of travel & I Do Not want another!! inexpensive dangerous, burning smell & sparks

Terrible – This is literally a cheap vacuum cleaner - though the word 'cleaner' doesn't apply. It is useless. No suction which worsens over time - we have had it about 3 months! The only way it picks anything up is by it getting stuck in the bristles of the brush. It was cheap - and that's why my husband wanted to buy it - but not worth it at all. The HEPA filter keeps blowing off the back - despite cleaning almost after each use. The short retractable cord is the only part with any power - it could break a toe with the force it flies back into its slot. Don't waste your money!!!

Terrible – For the price to performance it's a rip-off. even if it was $19.99 that would be to much. there is no suction to really call it a vacuum cleaner. Its compact and has extra attachments, has a retactable cord, bagless. Having a great design is the last step to worry about. It has to work and with a 5cm hole at the back of the container with a bit of foam being a filter is just a joke. There is other cheap vacuum cleaners out there that is value for money and will do the job, just not this one. It's blue and sounds like a vacuum and the retactable cord works. 1600w of power??? There is no powerful force, me blowing could do the same job.

If the rating was 600W that would be fair, maybe?
