Where to buy replacement filters???? – Great vacuum using on carpet and tiles. BUT no one seems to be able to find out where to get replacement filters. Do i just throw the vacuum away now and buy another one? Any information would be greatly received Show details

Good vacuum for a cheaper vacuum – Decent vacuum for what you pay , has decent suction for about 6 to 8 months I'd say but does the job , cute mint colour , works on tiles as well as carpet easy to empty and clean filters would get again :) Show details

Value for Money – I have bene using the Target Bagless Vacumm cleaner near about an year now and it works flawlessly. With a regular cleaning of the barrel by keeping it dustfree, it gives good results of the carpet after cleaning. Its makes noise but thats normal.Its a great value for money. Show details

This has got to be The Best buy Now Product – After forking out for a Heavy Bag Nilfisk many years ago, it finally gave up. Fair enough it was my husbands ex wife's (he got part of the settlement ha ha !) i can finally say Good Riddance Jancinta !! Ok had the demonstration in the local Godfreys store. I have a bad back and lugging around another version of the Nilfisk was just not an… Read more

option. The Power driven (almost self propelled ) $699 model was oh so tempting to buy then and there. No I resisted Impulse purchase and headed for Kmart. Nah nothing there and the reviews were helpful. Stay Away.

So off to Target. Bingo. $79 Bagless 2000W small compact, perfect for my back.

This little bundle of $79 plastic, had so much suction, I thought I would have to replace the entire house carpet.

Wow. Its light and easy to move around.

I got out my 'Black Sharpie Pen' and wrote ' ON ' on the dial, as it is hard to see which is the cord retractor and which is the on / off.

Problem Solved!

You have a dial for the power, even the option 'Minimum' was enough to bring up the carpet on staircase to look like brand spanking new.

Im tall, and the only issue i have, is the handle length could be another couple of Cm longer, to enable me not to bend my back, hence the back pain issue !!

Guess I will just have to get the kids to vacuum the house!!

Winner all round, and for the price, suction, guarantee, multiple available at my Target.....Do yourself a favour, put the $699 into your next Europe Vacation !!!

The head is unstable – Not too happy with this vacuum. I'm no engineer so I'm not sure what the issue is. The head seems really wobbly and so the suction isn't really there because it doesn't really get a seal as such. I thought that by not buying a really cheap vacuum that this might be OK but it really isn't worth the money spent. Check out the reviews for other cheap vacuums and make an informed choice based on your individual budget.  Show details

Powerful suction, value for money – This Target brand vacuum cleaner TBVAC112 is a winner. The vacuum cleaner that I wanted was sold out, so I bought this model. It is light, and easy to manoeuvre as well as having very powerful suction. I use it on my new rugs and it sucks up the shedding wool with ease. It works well on hard floors too. Being a budget buy, I do empty and… Read more

clean and rinse the filters after every use. This takes a mere 2 minutes, and I leave the parts overnight to dry.

Perfect as a smaller space ie apartment cleaner or as a second one for upstairs.

Good basic vacuum – While a Dyson would be nice it's not in my price range. I don't expect much from this basic vacuum other than to keep it's suction, not burn out and to last at least 2 years. So far it has met my needs. I cycle vacuuming so that I do one room a day so I hope that helps it's longevity. It's easy to empty, I'm happy with it.  Show details

Good one for a small space at the price point – It works well for a small space. Build quality and suction power are relatively good. Sometimes have found it difficult to move around. Given the price and is a bagless vacuum cleaner, it is value for money. I was little skeptical while I bought it, but am satisfied with its sufficient power and quality.  Show details

Average but good! – This vacuum is super fine if you have a small apartment. I find that the cord length is great you can get around almost everywhere. The sucking power is standard and very random but I love the colour of the vacuum it matches the inside of my apartment so i don't need to rush in hiding it :)  Show details

ok for small apartments – well, needed to buy a new Vacuum. choose the one from target for around $60 over 1 year ago. its working ok. didnt expected much and amazing quality. emptying the container is sometimes a bit disgusting. the filter got blocked twice in a year for some reason. but was easy to solve. anyway, good value for the price but not amazing.  Show details

Good quality – It has great suction, and good performance. Clean things fast and easy, no matter the surface (tiles or carpet). It is a bit hard to maneuver though, cause the pipes are shaped weirdly. It is easily detached as well when you use it. But considering that this is from target, it's actually really good.  Show details

2 broke down – We bought 1 in December from Target, 4 weeks later it stopped working, we took it back and exchanged it for another, it also broke down 3 weeks later, just stopped, no smoke or noises or overheating, just stopped, went back again and got store credit, will buy some other vacuum,  Show details

Nice vacuum cleaner under budget – The vacuum cleaner is good..nicely designed for carpets as well as floor but they have missed the wheel, so it requires additional pressure to clean. Apart from that, after some months, it had started making weird noise. Also this vacuum cleaner needs to be cleaned periodically before new usage. For temporary purpose, one can have it.  Show details

Works well. Hope it lasts – I have had this vacuum for several months. It does need to be emptied frequently. The individual parts do seem somewhat brittle so I have been careful not to knock it around too much or in to the skirting boards. It has good suction and I'm happy with it for now.  Show details

You get what you pay for – I guess it’s true ‘you get what you pay for. The Barrel only gets to 1/4 full before you realise half the dirt and hair has clogged up the filters and reduced the suction to next to nothing. Less than a month in the part that you attach the foot to the unit when finished using broke off. Also it’s very loud (probably amplified by the filter… Read more

clogging so quick and it gasping for air) it can be turned down which makes it quiet but it also reduces suction to less than it has on maximum which is already hopeless.

Lesson learned and will now spend decent money to get a decent vacuum.

Worked great initially now makes weird noise – Good light easy to use vacuum, however, after a few months it started making a weird noise and now suction is not great. Have changed the filter and barrel but doesn't seem to fix the issue. Will look at exchanging this item and see if the replacement works better or the same.  Show details

Good little vacuum – This is a surprising little machine, it has more power than you would expect, and cleaned my entire unit in one session. It is user friendly and easy to empty, I highly recommend this vacuum to people with a smaller place, that need an easy to use vacuum. Really recommend.  Show details

Good Price – Good price. Having moved out of the house earlier in the year I had the need to purchase some appliances from Target for my new place. I have been happy with this vacuum. It does get full quickly and needs cleaning often but it does a good job in my small unit.  Show details

Great little Vacuum!! – Great price for a powerful little machine. You can choose the settings easily and it is user friendly. The suction is powerful and the machine is easy to empty. I love that it is bag less and easy to empty right into the bin. It is light weight and so easy to carry around.  Show details

Its Work for a while – This suction works well the first couple of time but the filters always get block so you need to bang it out for the suction to work. it greats but suction part sucks. its never ever full but its suction will not suck because filter is block from dust
