Very disappointed with the new black model - terrible design
The original blue vacuum cleaner was exceptional and have bought two over the years. I needed to purchase another one and there is a new model - Black now replacing the blue model. They have got the new design totally wrong. The release switch to empty the unit sits too close to the unit making it difficult to get a grip to us the release switch. Also the lock lever that holds the handle in place does not lock down properly and it flips up and the handle comes loose so have had to lock it on with a rubber band. The suction is still excepti...
Read moreonal for the size and cost but the rest is a failure. Would not recommend it at all. Also the attachments are hard to get on and off without putting a foot on the head to prize it off the unit Mainly used on vinyl, mats and a small amount of carpet which the suction works well apart from the design.Purchased in at Bunbury BigW for $29.95.

Better than a Dyson
Contempo Cordless vacuum amazing long life battery great for carpet and tiles, only cost $99 , I swear this is better quality and performance than a dyson it even vacuums up 5 cents coin with ease.

Good for the price.
Bought this for $32 3 years ago for our hardwood floors. It’s still going but the suction is starting to suffer.
We have since bought a thick pile rug, the vacuum doesn’t do so great on it, but with a bit of persistence it does an ok job.
It’s lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. The 2in1 function means that it turns into a dustbuster easily. It also comes with a second filter for when you need to wash the current one. It’s not overly noisy either.
Downside is that it’s really only good on hard floors and it needs emptying quite regularly.
All in all, it’s a great little gadget for the price. I would buy again.

Died in less than 10hrs
This is not the exact vaccuum, but i cant find it anywhere on this site. I bought the $99 contempo cordless vacuum. In less than 10hrs, the motor has started making a death rattle after previously being almost silent. Should have spent the money and got a dyson....

Works surprisingly well
For $30 I can't complain much. It does the job, and the cord is long enough so that I don't need to frequently plug and unplug. Lightweight and easy to use. It has some minor broken parts after 3 years of using, but still functioning well. When it's unusable, just buy another one.
Just the vaccum head is difficult to pull out when I want to clean.

Not as good as the original
When the first model first came out I was so very happy with it. The little blue stick did everything, was very affordable and easy to use. All my friends bought at least one. Now, 3 years later, having moved house and lost mine, I find a new model which is just not the same. The head would not stay attached to the body of the vacuum no matter how hard I pushed it in, until in desperation I jammed a hair scrunchy around the stem. Now I have to leave it there and use a second unit for the car. The head also no longer has a straight edge to dislo...
Read moredge dirt, which I found so useful before, although the suction is every bit as good as the original. Once again a great product has been given to geek designers who just love to interfere and make things difficult for the user. Although it is still a good product, my advice is to ditch this new design and go back to the start.Purchased in at Big W Retail Stores for $29.

0 Regrets Purchase
This thing is unbelievably nifty and lightweight.
Bought this simply because my pull along vacuum was too heavy.
No issues with it being corded, just affix an extension lead and you're good to go. 0 regrets with this purchase.

Filter
This is a good. little vaccum cleaner but only one. Majer falt. You can not get a replacement filter. So although washable. They only last 2 to 3 washes. Then they are useless. So you have to throw away a perfectly good vaccum

Good Suction but product life is short
Very good for suction. So light and easy to use.
However it needs to empty a bit often. And it only last for 1.5 years. But I wouldn't complaint paying $30 for 1.5 years use

Held together with duct tape and cable ties!
This vacuum has great suction but keeps falling to bits! I've had it replaced twice but straight out of the package before I've even used it, it keeps falling apart.. I thought I was doing something wrong but was assured by staff.. no that's just the product! I've been holding it together with duct tape and cable ties.

Still Purring.
After 12 months of regular use this beautiful blue beast is still kicking strong.
Granted I've cleaned the replacement filter a couple of times to increase it's ability to draw in messy house debris, but nothing stops this little blue bugger doing business. Still makes me smirk when I think about the $800 dyson sitting half abandoned in the kitchen cupboard. The Dyson is always tangled with hair and has a battery that lasts less than 20 minutes.
Corded vacuums are back in a big way baby & Contempo 2 in 1 is leading the charge

Great value stick and hand vacuum
For the price this is a great 2 in 1 vacuum, hand and stick. The suction is fabulous and rivals my Nilfisk! Small enough to use every day so I don’t have to drag my Nilfisk out! It comes with one spare filter but you can extend its life by covering it in a stocking. I’ve still got mine on after 2 years! Would definitely recommend ...

This vaccuum cleaner really sucks! in a good way!
This vaccuum cleaner really sucks! in a good way!, i am amazed. for 30 bucks, and only 600watts, she does the job for my little place. carpet always left clean. it always picks up all the dust and dirt. happy customer. it just..works.
The one small issue i have, is the clip that holds the vaccum container on, was loose. i taped it down. and she is alright now ;)
