MIUZZY 48kPA Cordless Vacuum

Not always. A few units have stopped working, some within a few uses and others after a few months, and one got stuck on a filter warning that wouldn't clear. It doesn't happen to every M245, but it comes up often enough that it's worth keeping the receipt and registering the warranty as soon as it arrives.

It's mixed, with hard floors its strong suit. For daily pickup of dust and crumbs the M245 does the job, and it works best on bare floors. It can struggle to lift larger debris, though it still pulls dust out of carpet. Sweep up big bits like cereal or gravel by hand if they're common in your home.

Yes. The swivel head turns into tight spots and reaches under the bed, and the M245 feels light to push around. It weighs 8 lb in total, stands on its own between rooms, and converts to a handheld for stairs, upholstery and the car when the full stick is too long.

A one-button release with a spring pushes debris out of the 1.5 L dustbin, so you don't reach in by hand. A bin that size means fewer trips to the trash on a full clean.

It comes with a crevice tool, dusting brush, and flexible hose for cleaning hard-to-reach areas and different surfaces.
