Small AC Powered Vacuum?
That got some nasty reviews from users. Has your belt broken or gone up in
flames yet?
I saw those. No problems from mine, but I'm sure it doesn't get the run
time that one might get in a home setting. I've probably had it for a
couple of years, but I'd be surprised if it has more than an hour or two of
run time. It only takes me about 5 minutes to fully vacuum the cabin and
cockpit carpet. I particularly liked the complaint about pet hair clogging
the unit and causing it to overheat. I'm guessing cleaning it out once in a
while might have prevented that problem. Also sounds like maybe they didn't
put it back together right. The part about the pet hair clogging the filter
compartment before going into the canister makes no sense. With a bagless
hepa filter vacuum, the filtering is done as the air exhausts the unit.
Dirt is trapped before it gets to the filter due to cyclonic action.
However, there does seem to be a consensus that locating and purchasing a
replacement belt is nearly impossible. I have no idea what the belts cost,
but I'm thinking that by the time you purchase the belt, pay for shipping,
spend untold time on the phone screaming at someone for three months, why
not just go down to Target and buy another unit for $28? How much money are
you really saving? Or buy something else, if you got such bad service from
the original.
Bottom line, based on my experience and those reviews, if you expect it to
do light duty and are looking for an easy stow, it's probably a good choice.
If you expect it to pull heavy duty and last forever, you probably need to
keep looking.
