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

The rating is highly personal and should be taken with a grain of salt. This vacuum is not perfect by any means BUT it works for me so I'm very happy with it and my rating indicates that. So, let's start with how it could be better (even a few of the negatives) and then proceed to why I like it and gave it the five star rating.If you want a cordless that is powerful enough to do a deep cleaning of your carpet (if that carpet has somewhat high pile), then this vacuum will disappoint you. Will it clean the carpet? Yes... just not as deeply as you might want. Secondly, the vacuum does not have a means to carry your attachments meaning that you'll need to carry the crevice tool in your pocket if of place it where you think you might want it later. Thirdly, to remove the vacuum head, you'll need to press a release button with your hand meaning you either bend down or lift the vacuum high enough to release it. Many vacuums have a foot release button that make this maneuver much easier to perform. Lastly, getting back to the few accessories, there is no way to store them on the small clip used to hang the vacuum on the wall. So, you'll need to find a place to put them without losing them. Oh... and the plastic wheels could have had a rubber surface but...Now, why do I like it? It performs beautifully on my wood and tile floors and performs adequately on my carpets. When I want a deeper clean, I pull out my corded Shark or corded Kenmore to do that job. So, I don't really require this cordless to do the job and it doesn't lose any points in that regard. I love how light it is and how maneuverable the head is plus, the wand can go almost parallel with the floor allowing me to vacuum under the bed and furniture. Also, it is quieter than other cordless vacuums I've had which is a huge bonus. The battery run time allows me to do both my upper floor and lower floor before it needs recharging. We have a 2300 sq foot house so the battery capacity is more than adequate. Cleaning the canister is a breeze and the filter can easily be unscrewed and rinsed under water. We store the vacuum in a small closet under the stairs by hanging it from the supplied hook where it hangs against the wall while charging from an outlet inside the closet. And now for the best thing: the vacuum can stand on its own when I want to shut it off while moving a piece of furniture or taking a telephone call.As you can see, it's not a perfect vacuum but for my situation, it is and so I rate it five stars.

I have had this for several weeks now and wanted to wait until I had used it for a while before writing this review.I was looking for a portable vacuum cleaner that I could use to do frequent cleanups around the house to replace the broom and dustpan. Think using power tools for efficiency and more. There are so many of these models on the market. I already had experience with Levoit humidifiers and their excellent customer service, and liked what I saw with the 300 series cordless vacuum.My goals were as follows: I needed a vacuum that would not tangle with hair, as that is a major problem in this house (long human hair). This vacuum handles it in two ways. One: Most of the hair goes straight into the canister, where it is easily disposed of (more about that later). Two: The beater roller is easily removed, and it appears that some hair becomes twisted around the end of the roller which is very easy to remove after pulling the roller out, no tools needed. Hair problem solved.Quick cleanups: Many rooms in the house tend to attract crumbs on a daily. In the past I would pull out the broom and dust pan to sweep all of this up, and that would take a while. Now, I pull this off the hook on the wall, run it around the various rooms where I see the crumbs and I am done in record time. Then I empty the canister.Canister Cleaning: We had a bagless vacuum years ago and hated emptying and cleaning it. Dirt went everywhere and parts fell off. This one is so well designed and is easy enough to do over the kitchen trash can. The canister pops off, the center section is removable with a slight turn to the left, and it all wipes down using a paper towel. I clean it after each use, per the manufacturer's instructions.Battery Charging: The battery can be charged on the unit or removed. The adapter plugs into the side of the battery. There are three lights on the side that flash. All three are solid, non-flashing when done charging, and then the lights turn off indicating it is fully charged. I charge the battery on the kitchen counter and circle back when it is done, to return it to the vacuum.Power Usage: I have mostly used the vacuum on level I and the vacuum displays the level of battery remaining in percent from 100% down. For me, it usually gets to 65-71%. Sometimes I kick it up to level II or III. My daughter used it at level III for her room and it drained faster, down to about 35% by the time she was done (using the power head). I am not sure how long she ran it at level III.I have removed the power head and attached the multi-use edge tool to clean along the baseboards. This is easy to do. I have not yet tried the smaller power head or cleaning the car which I plan to do at some point.I also wanted to mention that it is very quiet, much quieter than the corded vacuum that we use. I suspect we will continue using the corded vacuum on the carpets to pull out the deep dirt. Also, this power head is about 60% of the size of our corded vacuum so it takes more passes to cover the same area.Suggestions for the Manufacturer: The wall hook needs something to attach the charging cord to for those planning to charge while it is on the hook. The vacuum stick could use a clip to carry the multi-use edge cleaning tool so it is there when it is needed. The location where the vacuum is mounted could use a floor caddy to store the edge tool, the power adapter, and the smaller power head (and possibly a set of filters). (We are using a wicker basket.) The canister has a little rubber flap that catches some dirt in the edge. A small brush tool should be included to clean the dirt out of this area so the flap will fit flush again after cleaning. Finally, the Amazon bundle tries to put 200 series filters with the 300 for some reason. That should be corrected.Product Support: Before first use, the power head snapped into the upright position. I could not find anything in the instructions how to release it or any videos on the topic so I called the support number, a few minutes before the end of your support day. A man answered and provided excellent support, telling me to just press against it as it is just a friction fit. I did not want to break anything so I was happy to have his guidance. He asked if I had any other questions or needed anything else. I forget if I asked another question, but he was super helpful. I was happy that he was there right up to the last minute.

I should start by saying I did read the run time in the description- it’s very clear that it has a short runtime when using strongest suction, but I was thinking no way is it 15 minutes runtime.. and maybe the battery charges quickly so it won’t be a big deal. The battery takes at least an hour to fully charge and switching between standard suction and strongest suction the battery lasts for maybe 20 minutes.So I can’t really dock points for that but I wish it came with a back up battery so you can keep one charging and swap out dead battery. However, this would’ve been amazing when I had a studio apartment that was 80% wood floors. Currently I have a Medium/Large size house and I was hoping to use this to vacuum my kitchen/ dining room/ wood stairs. Like I’ve said it lasts 15-20 minutes (which is still comical to me). If I vacuum every other day I can usually vacuum rooms listed above and an additional bedroom- but tbh If the battery lasts then I’m needing to empty the canister halfway through. I really only use this on hard wood and small throw rugs. The light feature has been great helping illuminate the light dog/cat hair on my light oak floors.I wish I would’ve done more research or understood the difference between 2 something and the other option… maybe it was battery length? I’m going to search for a back up battery- I think that’d solve my issue. All in all it has amazing suction on hardwood floors for a cordless vacuum: picks up animal hair, cat litter, stray bits of cat food, and has two accessories.
