OKP Vacuum Cleaner Corded 17KPa Suction Handheld & Stick Vacuum, Lightweight & Versatile with Metal filter and HEPA for Hardwood Floor Pet Hair

When I first got it and used it, it was pretty decent and overall, I was impressed with its performance per value. When I went to empty it for the first time, that's where it began to go downhill.Issue 1:- Twisting to open the trash compartment sucks. It takes a bit of a forceful turn, but similar to opening anything with too much force, it suddenly opens and can easily let the trash you just vacuumed up go everywhere. Well... now I have to vacuum it all up again.- I didn't think too much of it at first, but it continued to get more annoying. What was worse, however, I found that certain movements, while vacuuming, would cause the container to open without my intent. Great... now I vacuum it all up again.- I blame these two examples on the locking mechanism being poorly designed. Too difficult to open when you intend to, and too easy when you're not.Issue 2:- After about the third time using this, I noticed it began to get very hot to the touch on the handles. Not much of a concern when using it really, however, shortly after it began to turn itself off.- Now, not more than 3-4 minutes of use, this will turn off on its own from overheating, I presume. Likewise, it takes about 30 minutes for it to cool down and reset before it will work again. I'm guessing at this point it's permanently damaged and won't go back to normal use. I've cleaned out the filter and vacuum thoroughly, yet this didn't help.I really wanted to like this vacuum. It's lightweight, easy to clean with (when it works) , and is relatively powerful for my needs. The wire is also long enough and I felt it was a single vacuum which could get it all done. With these 2 major cons which quickly arose, it's unreliable and not worth it at all.I have a feeling that most of these sub $50 vacuums that look similar are all of the same generic/whitelabel manufacturer and would share similar issues. It's possible that I got a dud, but at the same time, I've read similar reviews on other listings. I'd be willing to guess, if you don't have the issues right away, they might eventually happen.Best to avoid and seek a different option.

I really like this. Very powerful, light and maneuverable on hard floors. Not really designed for carpets, but I don’t think they claim that. You must really put the attachments on firmly for them to stay in place, but once you do, they stay. One star off for the dirt container being small (kinda to be expected), but it comes apart easily if you’re changing attachments. I had it dump on the floor.Overall for the price I’m happy with the purchase. Very strong motor, compact, long cord. What I was looking for.

About 4 months now:The suction from this vacuum is incredible. Maneuverability is really good, HOWEVER!!The vaccuum canister has a ridiculously horrible security design. Like, it wont stay "locked" for very long and is not very strong at all, in any way shape or form. I am impressed with the Vac but this inconsiderate design flaw is why I give it only 3 stars....When I am willing to drop $$$ on a stick Vac, a Dyson or Shark will be purchased..

This stick vac is great for hardwood floors and rugs. The only reason it wouldnt do carpets great is because the suction is so strong is just sucks straight down to the carpet and wont move. Its great to do stairs or anywhere that would normally be difficult for your normal vaccum because its heavy or doesnt manuver well because this stick vac can manuver through all the tough spots and corners.

Very good suction but the head doesn’t turn that easily. You get what you pay for I guess. Good for something quick. The cord doesn’t have anything to easily store it and no way to hook it. The attachment doesn’t have a holder. Little things that would have made this vacuum a lot better.

This vacuum is best on hardwood floors and probably hardwood floors only. It really struggles on carpet. But to clean the floors or even the car with the small detachable part I guess it was worth it for the price

The Grommets that hold the swivel head on broke off rendering the vacuum useless. Before that the suction was very good on the hoard wood floors especially when going with the grain.

Works great on hardwood and tile floors. It is great for stairs with carpet. The attachment works great. If doesn’t work great picking up pet hair on carpet.
