Levoit - LVAC-200 Cordless Vacuum

Whilst it's less convenient, I find a canister vacuum the lightest to work with, although you do need to manoeuvre the machine around on the floor. With a canister you're barely holding any weight in your hand, it's all down on the floor. For above floor cleaning it's the best experience, and then for carpets and floors it's also easy as you're only pushing around the wand and floor head. In terms of lightweight sticks I don't know too many really I'm afraid. Sebo balance and Dyson V12 are both light. I can't speak to the longevity and quality of either though. I owned a V12 for a bit and it was light to use but I returned it as couldn't justify the expense for my daily runaround vacuum. I own a Levoit LVAC 200 which is...fine...but does a poor job on carpets, it will really only skim the surface. I replaced that with a Tineco Pure One Station Five. It's a bit heavier but it does the job and I picked it up new in box on eBay for about £125. The self empty station really helps and it does an ok job just keeping things looking clean. However I'm not sure how long it'll last as some of the joints are already getting creaky and loose.

Yep, I bought the budget levoit and I have to say it's a great fucking vacuum

levoit lvac 200 is great. the charge lasts for multiple uses and vacuums my cats fur really well. it also doesn’t get clogged from human hair (i shed like a dog lol)

mine stands on its own! it came with a wall mount but stands just fine, i have a Levoit

There’s no single vac that does it all except for maybe a super heavy super expensive traditional canister like a Miele. For an everyday hard floor vac (and light carpet vac) the best is Levoit on Amazon that's about $200. It's a Dyson-like machine that overcomes a lot of the longtime design issues with Dysons (such as, it can stand up by itself -- what a concept). But we also keep the Dyson around for a more aggressive carpet vac when we need it. We also have a Eureka boss -- powerful and dependable small canister vac. And a monster shop vac in the basement. Dysons are great but they're really expensive and their air filtering system is overly complicated and tends to lose efficiency. If you own a Dyson, watch all the available Youtubes on how to clean it with pressurized air so you can keep it running. Given the competition from newer manufacturers like Levoit, I think it's going to be harder for Dyson to justify selling floor vacs for close to $1000.

Two Goldens and an Aussie here…I currently am in love with this one: # LEVOIT Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, Stick Vac with Tangle-Resistant Design, Up to 50 Minutes, Powerful Suction, Rechargeable, Lightweight, and Versatile for Carpet, Hard Floor, Pet Hair, LVAC-200 I’ve only had it three months so far but I use it daily, at a minimum, and it handles the random drifts of dog hair beautifully.

I own this one from [Levoit](https://levoit.com/products/lvac-200-cordless-vacuum) and I like it. It’s a fine second vacuum and has some filtration. Handles hair exceedingly well and I love that it stands on its own. It’s also relatively inexpensive. I made the mistake of spending a lot of money on a cordless vacuum once and that’s something I will never do again. Even models from top brands are mid and have a pretty short lifespan.

I don’t use it as my main vacuum, just as a quick clean up like a Dustbuster. I have mostly hardwood and a few flat rugs and it works great. My stairs have a plush carpet runner and it does a good job of cleaning that. It will not work on my shag bathroom mats. Maneuverability is good. It’s a little floppy though, so sometimes you have to pick it up and put it down again to readjust the angle. Overall, I’m very happy with it as a small portable option, but I don’t think I’d be thrilled with it if it were my only vacuum. I read the reviews before I bought it and now really feel like the people who were unhappy with it expected the performance of a full sized vacuum and were asking it to do too much.
