Tefal X-Trem Compact Handstick Vacuum - TY1238

Tried out X-Trem Compact Handstick Vacuum - TY1238 for two weeks. ✅ effortless assembly ✅ delivers extreme flexibility and reliable cleaning performance in an ultra-compact frame. ✅ bi-directional Flex Technology for go-anywhere cleaning with no need to bend over. ✅ variety of features to make the home cleaning experience easier. Only wish is that it is able to last for more than 40 minutes.

Pros: 1. Easy to assemble, can be done without referring to the manual 2. Lighted up when vacuuming, very helpful when cleaning especially the darker corners 3. Removable handheld component is very useful, even young children can help with cleaning! 4. Bendable handle, useful to reach under furniture 5. Can stand on its own once locked in a certain position, handy for storage Cons: 1. A little heavy with the full set 2. Dust compartment is quite tight, some strength is required to remove it to empty the dirt 3. The handle "stick" locks when held at ~90 degrees during vacuuming, needs to be stepped down to unlock every time when changing angles. A tiny inconvenience

I simply love the design of this vacuum. It is lightweight and yet excellence with cleaning. I can turn on fan and do my cleaning without turn off the fan and sweep. I felt it made easier for my house chores as I can lift it high up to the ceiling and under sofa with its flexibility 2-way adjustable handheld stick and different type of accessories. Easy washing and storage as is space saving.

This vacuum comes with LED lights at the base, so I literally vacuumed in the night without switching the lights on! Amazingly this allowed me to see clearly the dust and dirt on the floor, which I never noticed when the lights are turned on. But I haven't found a way to turn the lights off, if it can be done in the first place. Vacuum is very light weight and can be maneuvered easily. But I saw that the full charge can only last 20minutes, which is pretty short but still long enough to finish cleaning a 4 room flat. Would be better if the battery life is longer.

Package was well packed. And i received a WhatsApp with a photo that it was left on my shoerack as no one was home. Unboxing was a little tough coz i had to push the whole box out of another box. But everything was packed nicely and easy to locate. Setup was easy. Could do with just looking at the photos. Set is light. And easy to move around. The head can turn very easily. Suction is decent though it is a little loud. Can even go down the sofa easily. Main set can also bent at the press of a button. But the rollers were a little loud on my vinyl flooring. It was ok on my kitchen tiles.
