    After watching this review while standing in front of the display at Five Below I decided to give it a try. I don't expect this to keep my floors spotless, but I wanted something to tackle the endless supply of dog fur my pup supplies, and figured this might help a bit. I'm pleased to report that it does a great job of picking up the fur and more!! It doesn't get every spot like the review says, but it definitely helps to maintain between deep cleans. The battery lasts just long enough to do my kitchen and living-room

    We just purchased the newer 25$ version with LED lights and it is 100% worth the money, it's not as smart as our expensive one but it works wonders in our pet room. I was shocked with how much it picked up in the 30 minute run time, it found things I didn't even relise were there.

      @David Traxler it doesn't work on carpet but it does really good on our wood floors as well as tile. It picked up a tun of pet hair as well as dust/sand (I live in a super sandy area)

      I am in the process of vetting out a replacement fan motor right now. After 4 months of daily use the commutator wore off the fan motor. Unfortunately there are no markings on the existing motor stating the no-load rpm, current draw or even model number so all we know is that its a 3 pole motor in a 32mm diameter by 17mm long case with a 2mm output shaft powered by a single lithium battery so about 4 volts DC and has a fan that is 70mm in diameter, blades that are around 7mm wide and overall about 9mm thick including the fan blade backing plate. There is no room to increase the diameter of the fan however it may be possible to use a deeper fan with wider blades.
      Put in a much more powerful fan motor and you'll drastically reduce run time as the fan is what uses the most energy in the device. Without the fan drawing power it will run for many hours so the drive, side brushes, lights and power board draw very little plus without specifications you could end up blowing that controller board if you use a motor that draws too much current. To support a larger fan and more powerful motor you'd likely have to install a power relay for the fan motor and power it from its own larger battery which there does appear to be room for.
      Note though that there do not appear to be any consumables available for these vacuums so it may not be wise to invest too much in upgrading and repairing them.
      Best!

    i have one of this. Though it is not as good as the expensive smart robot vacuum cleaner, it is still descent on picking debris especially if you do have pets at home. I have a cat that sheds a lot and this vacuum helps collect those furr on the floor that cannot be easily seen and swept by broom and dustpan. Its worth it for the price.

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial

    It works like an old toy having a kid. It was a train that went forward when it hit the wall it would stay there for a second then back away and go in a different direction. The double wheel assembly acts like a differential. It will drive forward in a particular direction until it encounters resistance and it will spin around it's Pivot Point. It spins around until it dries itself backwards or sideways or whatever to get free. Totally random

      I do think it would do well with dog hair since it is light and wispy. I was not able to test it. My best idea was to cut my own hair and sprinkle it on the floor, but my hair is not very long so it would not be a good representation.

    I was actually really surprised by this little vacuum. I had another I spent $200 die on me and thought I'd give this a try.
    I mainly use these for when my dog shed's and about 5 mins in to my living room this filled the dust tray up over half way.
    For $20 if you have a animal that shed's and/or lots of hard to get places it'll make things so much easier day to day.
    Overall it does what it should for $20

    @ElevatorWasher5000 2 года назад

    Should I get it? I’m thinking no because it has no sensors.. Maybe I could get a little more expensive vacuum that is 30$?

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial
      @HowtoandReviewsOfficial  2 года назад +2

      I don’t necessarily think the lack of sensors is an issue. It still changes direction and continues to vacuum when it hits an obstacle.
      The thing to consider in my opinion that kind of make it inferior are
      1. Run time. Does it run long enough for your needs?
      2. Inability to drive over rugs, carpet, obstacles. Hard floor only. This would be a problem if you have rugs.
      3. Finding it when the battery dies. It doesn’t go back to a base station.
      I think you get a lot for $20. Definitely getting your moneys worth. But the next level up is hundreds of dollars.
