Awesome. Gets used daily.
So, I have a bit of a history with battery stick vacuums. This is now my third. The first two were both no-name devices, very cheap. Motor would slowly ramp up, dust bin center post was not removable, and by the time you need a filter/battery, game over, you can't buy them anywhere. So for this vacuum, I went online to read reviews and search for parts. Pre-filter, HEPA filter and batteries are all readily available and have been since the A10 came out. So that's a good start! Some reviews complained about things not being picked up after a month, etc etc. The standard complaints from people who are used to non-HEPA bag vacuums that never need any maintenance outside of changing the bag when it's full. If you're looking for zero maintenance, avoid anything bagless. They all have multiple filters that need cleaning. So! How is the A10? In short, we're loving it. Our house is hardwood floors, with several large rugs. (One is 10x14' shag) We also have a toddler and an infant. Since the concept of keeping food on the table is a foreign concept to the toddler, this vacuum gets used a minimum of once a day, but usually 3 times. What makes this vacuum stand out from others are the small details. Everything is absolutely simple to access, detach, remove etc. And everything fits nice. You know what I mean by that, right? There's no straining swapping attachments or installing a filter, nothing binds up, it just slides together effortlessly as it should. Even the brushroll on this vacuum, it comes with a razor hair removal device, but if you'd like, you can take the brush roll out to clean it. When emptying the dirt cup, the center filter holder comes right out with a quarter turn, making it simple to completely empty the cup, even if things get knotted up around the center post. (as you can see in my first picture where I wasn't paying attention to the dust level. My bad.) Remove it, give it a shake, done. Pre-filter pulls out of the bottom, no disassembly needed. Wipe it off, wash/dry it or hit it with an air compressor or shop vac and you're good to go. And that right there? That's the culprit for likely 99% of complaints in reviews about suction and battery life. You have to clean that pre-filter occasionally. And not "once a year when I finally remember". Consider it the "bag" from a traditional vacuum cleaner. Doesn't matter what brand you buy. Any restriction on that filter puts additional strain on the motor, so your suction is bad and your battery life is worse. Ya gotta do it. [WHOA quick edit here! One feature that absolutely has to be mentioned that I forgot, the power switch has a toggle. You don't have to hold down the trigger. I will not even consider a vacuum without this feature going forward! So much more comfortable to use!] So how does it operate? Very well! You'll see a rather gross and embarrassing picture below of under our bed. I'll admit, having 2 kids under 2, some of the finer details like cleaning under beds just kind of got pushed off. Anyway, the picture was after 1 swipe back-and-forth on regular power (you can see the wheel marks left in the dust to prove). As soon as I realized the vacuum can tilt sideways and lay flat, I figured under the bed was long overdue. And it was. Yikes. But hey, our last two cheap stick vacuums couldn't get under there at all, so props to the Tineco. And look how well it does! The soft rollers really do well at polishing up the floors. And yes, low power. I occasionally use the MAX setting for the shag carpet because it makes me feel better I guess. But everything is easily handled by the regular power setting. Other things worth mentioning, there's some mindful features on the device that I appreciate. One is the brushroll stop. If you vacuum up something you shouldn't, or anything causes too much current to the brush roll motor? It simply stops until you let go of the power button. That feature is very much appreciated, compared to the AC powered vacuums that will grab a corner of a rug and just annihilate it before you can turn it off in time. The wall mount that comes with it is excellent, holds the charging cord in place, plus the vacuum, all the attachments and the rollers hair removal tool. The vacuum has a bit of a futuristic design to begin with, but hanging it all on the wall really makes it look like something from the movies. It's kind of funny, but I like it. The LED lights on the vacuum are awesome as well, that off-angle bright white light really shows dust well. Or things that need to be mopped courtesy of the toddler... Battery life is exactly as stated. We don't live in a 4,000 sq-ft house, 25 minutes is wholly sufficient. It's never run out on me, even during the first day when I was trying it everywhere I could think of. So that's it in a nutshell. Seems to be a very capable machine for our household of soon-to-be two toddlers throwing stuff everywhere. If anything changes, I'll update this review. Just be warned, if you have a not quite 2 year old like I do, he may dance and follow you around shouting "Keep going, Daddy!" every time you turn it off. Or maybe that's just me?

Not good
I only had the unit for two months and it won't charge the manufacturer send me me a replacement that is not in its entirety like I'm a technician. I would not recommend this and it only lasts for 20 minutes at the most

    Worth it
    I love that it has lights, it's very maneuverable and has practical attachments. You have to plug it in to charge after hanging it up and that battery does not come off. Battery lasts well, very lightweight, decent suction. Overall very pleased with this purchase.

    The best cordless vacuum in this price range!
    The vacuum works great! It has a sold build and powerful suction. One of the biggest reasons I chose this vacuum is it has a good filtration system so I don't need to worry about polluting the air with the fine dust from the floor. Definitely highly recommend!

    Lightweight and easy to use
    I have empty the vacuum cleaner at least 8 times and have not had to recharge the unit. So I consider the battery life very good. This is a lightweight vacuum with several attachments which allow it to adapt to a variety of environments. It had been very good picking up the dust and hair from the stairway. I would consider this an excellent rechargeable instrument. I would recommend this to a friend.

    Great Cordless Vacuum- Very Suprised
    We have 3 dogs that shed quite a bit. We dustmop at least twice per day. I really didn't know what to expect when we started using our cordless vacuum, honestly. This cordless vacuum is super. It picks up our dust and dirt that the dogs bring in plus it picks up their dog hair. The front of the vacuum is lighted and it highlights any dirt/hair that you need to grab. This vacuum also will also pick up all the way to the baseboard. It doesn't leave a bit behind! It is just great. The top detaches we are able to use it on the sofa. It picks up the dog's hair so well on it too. I could also use this in the car or wherever I needed it. It is SO convenient. When we are done using the vacuum, it stores conveniently and charges until the next time you are ready to use it. I couldn't ask for it to do any better really. I would highly suggest this to any friend that was seeking a cordless vacuum. This has replaced our dust mop.

    light weight and easy to use
    This cordless vacuum is much more powerful than we thought it would be. Love that it goes between our hardwoods, rugs and carpet with easy. Our kids (aged 8 & 4) ended up taking turns using it to help clean once they saw it in action. Being bagless is another plus that we appreciate. The only hiccup we had was installing it on our wall as a charging station. The anchor and screws provided didn't work out so we used wall dog nails to get it properly hung.

    This vacuum has horrible battery life!
    I got this vacuum as part of the Spark Reviewer program. I have hardwoods floors, 3 kids and 1 dog, so I'm very picky when it comes to cordless vacuums. I need a powerful vacuum with a good amount of battery life. So here you go... PROS: - I like the LED lights on the front of the vacuum. They are angled such that it makes seeing the crumbs on the ground much easier. - The clear canister reminds me to empty the bin every time before use. Its a snap and takes 30 seconds to do. Making sure to empty it regularly seems to help it's performance. - The wall attachment for storage is very helpful, so you don't have to worry about having to store it somewhere out of the way. It also has a spot for the attachments. CONS: - I use the max setting when I'm doing my normal cleaning because the suction power is greatly lacking on the normal setting. It's ok for stuff stuck in the corners, where the floor meets the wall, but it doesn't work well on larger bits of debris. - Any type of hair gets stuck on the roller bar and causes it to stop rotating. The suction power is not good enough for it to suck the hair up into the canister. - My biggest complaint is the battery life. If you use it on the normal mode it lasts 10-12 minutes, but the suction is horrible. If you use the max setting it literally lasts 5 minutes at the most! I don't know about you but I can't vacuum my house in 5 minutes. Let alone one room. It also takes 3-5 hours for a full charge, so after five minutes of use you have to charge it again for 3 hours. I don't have time for that. As you can see, this model wasn't able to meet my expectations. It might be good for someone with a small apartment that needs something for quick usage, but it's not made for longer usage.

    Pleasantly surprised!
    Wow, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this cordless stick vacuum is. I have a similar one with a different brand and it does not compare to how nice this one is. The first time I have seen a hair cleaning tool come with a vacuum. But the best part is the suction and how well it picks up. It even picked up little stones from my indoor carpet entryway. It has a Hepa filter, a pre filter, a mesh filter and a cyclone system that separates larger particles. And the pre filter is washable. It also has a low and high speed with a push of a button. This will be so helpful in between heavy cleaning to keep my floors vacuumed up. It also includes a holder you can attach to a wall to hold it and the mini power brush and crevice tool. So easy to use, and I love it!

    Perfect for a dorm room
    This vacuum is light weight and easy to maneuver. It picks up tiny particles, dust bunnies, and crumbs from hardwood floors. However, after you charge the battery it does not last long enough to finish cleaning my hardwood floors in my apartment. My apartment is 1000 square feet. I think this vacuum would be great for a college dorm room or use it for a specific small area in your apartment or house. You have the option to mount it on your wall to save up space. I will just store it in my closet and use it for quick pick ups in my small kitchen or full size bathroom. I don't think this vacuum is suitable for thick rugs. I'm sure it would work on industrial rugs.
