Kmart Anko 2000W Bagless

[Content Removed] and not in a good way – Major blocking issue in the floor brush all the way up into the extension tube. Impossible to clean properly. Used on mainly carpet and some Lino Show details

Falsely labelled as 2000W – Bought this as my old contempo started switching off periodically. Compared old 1800W Contempo to 2000W Anko and Anko had less suction and didnt do a good job on my carpet. Went and measured power on both and Anko is only 1320 Watts (see pic) not 2000W as advertised. While my old one runs at rated power 1800w. Gonna be returning Anko tomorrow. FALSELY ADVERTISED AS 2000Watts. Show details

Bought to use "wrong", not disappointed – I bought this for $47 to attach to a ceiling sander, and to clean up plaster sanding work. This was expected to fail. Yes I have a shop-vac, all it does is fire dust out the exhaust "hepa" filter kit, which alone costs more than this vac. Thoroughly impressed. The vacuum is very light duty machine, very soft plastics used, wouldn't survive too… Read more

many drops, but survived the 3 I gave it. It handled an industrial application without ejecting plastering dust back out the hepa exhaust filter.

Very small and nimble. Can break down and wash every part very easily.

When used in normal vacuum duties, it performs pretty well compared to a much more expensive Electrolux. The $500 electrolux only pulled up a small amount after running over it with the Kmart anko. This is using the small carpet head, not the "normal" one, as that gives better suction.

It survived pulling up some damp stuff, and pulled fresh paint from a carpet pile.

Under heavy work, the cord will heat up, this is where danger can be, in over working a light duty vacuum, setting the cord on fire.

For a cheap price this is perfect – I purchased this bag mid of 2019 and hasn’t failed on me and I don’t think it will any time soon. It’s affordable and works great. I had a cordless vacuum before that was a lot more expensive from Another store and only last me 2 months so Thankyou Kmart for supplying the good Show details

Just pulled apart this machine – This vacuum cleaner has a very clever No-filter filter. this means that when you lose suction you simply need to pull filter apart and clean no need to buy a new one. Power is strong enough to work with motorised brush head. if I could give a rating out of ten I would give 8 for the work achieved I think it's great. and of course if you want anything to serve you to its full potential be it a woman or any price technology you must look after it. Show details

Good Base, terrible add on – I've used this vacuum only once. Suction seems to be good, a little loud but that's OK. My biggest issue was that it was scratching my floor. For whatever reason both this one and the 2200W one have the same floor vacuuming attachment. Only the backside of the addon has 2 small wheels. The front side (which is bare metal) simply drags all over… Read more

the floor. Luckily my floor was concrete but I wouldn't dare using this on wood. Perhaps ok on carpets. The vacuum itself is OK. The floor attachment definitely needs replacing which is $30 or so online. The vacuum itself is $50 so definitely have returned it already. Kmart took it back without much question which is nice.

How difficult is it to put 2 more wheels (4 in total) on the floor vacuuming add-on? Makes the entire product unusable. Simply bad design.

Value for money winner all day every day – Is this the best vacuum cleaner? No! Is this the best value for money new vacuum cleaner? Yes! This vacuum cleaner is a great little machine. It's straight forward, has a great suction, which it maintains for a long time before you need to clean the filter. The floor attachment and wand is excellent. It does have only basic filtration, (no hepa)… Read more ·  1

so not recommended for allergy sufferers. The crevice tool is pretty disappointing, and the machine itself of course is very loud. I have personally have been using it very harshly vacuuming up tons of sand and fine dust and it is still great. Makes a $600 vacuum cleaner hard to justify regardless.

If you need a sacrificial vacuum or you don't want to trouble yourself dealing with second hand deals, grab one of these.

Pros: Incredible value for money Durable

Cons: Loud Average filtration

Poor cyclonic design – I bought this as a quick and cheap solution after my old Dyson stopped working. I like the bagless cyclonic design and Dyson no longer owns the patent, so there are lots of brands to choose from these days. The Anko works, but its foam filter clogs up much faster than my old Dyson’s filter. It needs cleaning every second use, whereas the… Read more

Dyson would go at least 20 times longer between filter cleans. A high volume of dust particles are somehow getting past the Anko’s cyclonic system. But I still gave it 3 stars because it’s so cheap. That said, I’ll eventually replace the Anko with something better.

Not recommended. Cheap but not recommended – Purchased form Kmart based on the reviews I saw here, usually trust the users but guess we are on different spectrums on this. I thought I would write a proper review (note this is my opinion). The price is good. Hard to fault that, although its not value. Light, so you can move it around but the handle (too short you may need to bend) is so light… Read more

it doesn't allow you to properly vacuum. The suction on the vacuum is bad. I have carpet so the main reason you buy a vacuum but the suction is not strong enough. I had to go over the same area 4-5 times before I thought something happened. I tried the tiles, same thing, had to go over a few times, in the end, used a brush. The bin size is alright, but device is not worth it. The vacuum doesn't really do what it is built for, pickup dust and particles. I would recommend looking at another product

Works well. Easy to use – Great value for money. Great suction on all floors. Massive dust catcher. Lightweight. Cleans all surfaces extremely well especially carpets. have used it frequently for over a month and is suckin' strong. Just remember to clean the filters every now and then. The only negative is that it could do with a longer hose fitting. Show details

Not bad for the price – Purchased a cheap vacuum that would get my family by until I could afford a better one. At first this vacuum worked quite well but after several uses it took several attempts to suck up dirt/hair/particles from the carpet but works better on lino and laminated floors. Being a bag less vacuum means you don's have to spend more money when replacing… Read more

the bags. This makes this vacuum much easier to clean. Not a bad product for the price or to just get you buy.

Impressive, affordable vacuum 2 years on – This is the only bagless vacuum I have owned that has lasted past the 1 year mark. I have previously spent double this amount on another brand only for the unit to clog up and become beyond economical repair. This vacuum is extremely impressive and still going strong! The vacuum does not tip over. The cord is a decent length which allows me to… Read more

clean room by room in their entirety. I have 2 dogs and it does a brilliant job at collecting their fur, and it is satisfying to see it all collected inside as you empty it.

This unit is extremely easy to clean, not too many steps involved in emptying the container. I use this on both tiles, all through my apartment, and on a carpet that sheds. Provided you are being reasonable with what you're vacuuming the unit will not get clogged. If any clogs occur it is an easy fix.

I wash it out thoroughly once a month and it looks good as new each time.

Very impressed. Give it a try. I know there are expensive models out there with a lot of hype surrounding them, but if you just have a smaller home this Kmart vacuum will absolutely suffice!

Excellent VALUE. Inexpensive and great vacuum for the price – For under $50 (bought this in Jan 2020 for $47), this is a fantastic vacuum cleaner. As I only have two bedrooms with carpet (rest of the flat is laminate flooring), I didn't want to buy a super pricey vacuum. This vacuum is great in terms of performance versus cost. It cleans the carpets more than adequately. Perhaps not the deep deep clean… Read more

of a $500 dyson, but I don't see any issues.

I've used it on the hardwood floors and it works just fine. You don't need super suction power for non-carpeted surfaces anyways. There are two attachments with this vacuum: the crevice brush tool for conrners and such, and a small upholstry vacuum head. The latter is great as I've used it on a couch already. My previous vacuum didn't have such an attachment.

I really like that fact that this is bagless (my first ever bagless one). Those bags were dirty and gross to empty. This Kmart one has a detachable part that contains all the vacuumed dirt and such. Just take it outside and empty it into a bag and then put it in the bin. Don't empty it inside.

The unit is small and easy to manoeuvre. I have tipped it over once or twice, but not a major problem. I just wasn't paying attention.

There are two other bagless units that Kmart sells. I chose this one because of the price and because the dirt container was not a primary concern. This one, which has 2000W power, has a small container. The 2200W and 2400W models (currently $69 and $95) are larger containers (they call it 'dust capacity'). If you have a lot of carpeted area, and find emptying the container annoying, you can get one of the pricier ones. You'd get a bit more power as well, and a few other nifty features (e.g., the 2200W and 2400W have HEPA filters).
