Saw this vacuum cleaner in the Target catalogue and decided to buy it to try it out, being that it's marked as a $70 "saving" and I need something temporarily to replace mine while it's in for repair.

Just got it home and cleaned the carpeted part of the house with it for the first time, and now I doubt I'll even bother repairing my $500RRP electrolux.

Model number is KBV250. Features:
- Bagless
- Washable filters and comes with a spare
- Light
- Adjustable power
- 3+ rod attachments

          "RE-USING someone else's line"

          I'm pretty sure it's been used before that…

        • Maestrok on 30/12/2011 - 00:00

          @jv well even so..it was JUST used a couple of posts before. Where's the original material? XD No harm done you know we love to read you on OzB haha

        • jv on 30/12/2011 - 00:04

          @Maestrok

          "it was JUST used a couple of posts before."

          Now i see why it's priced at $ 69… :O

        • delfredo on 30/12/2011 - 00:42

          The telescopic wand is a must for good functionality.

  • miq on 29/12/2011 - 23:01

    i have one of these but a yellow/black one, it's decent but the filter needs changing very regularly, so buy a couple of spares if you can. it comes with one spare though

    • daydream on 30/12/2011 - 12:08

      Are the filters ok after washing or do they look like they'll fall apart?

      • delfredo on 30/12/2011 - 12:41

        It should give proper protection if you put it on properly.

  • skysurfer on 29/12/2011 - 23:04

    Can you expand a bit on how good the vac is and what's good about it? Thanks.

    • Ashlea on 29/12/2011 - 23:08

      Mostly the fact that it is below the $200 price point and actually works. We have three pets that shed a lot of fur and the carpet looks like new after running this vac over it. The fact that its so light is a nice advantage I missed, too.

      I'll need another day or so to accurately comment on how good it is for the finest of dust particles, but this time tomorrow I'll be able to give an accurate description and review of that portion as everyone in my house suffers from pretty severe allergies.

      • delfredo on 30/12/2011 - 00:45

        There seems to be reported issues with lack of suction and overheating for other Kambrook vacuum models, particularly after using them for a few weeks/months.

        • Ashlea on 30/12/2011 - 01:10

          That's what I like about the fact that I bought it from target - If it's shitty after a few weeks I'll go in there, kick up a stink and they'll return it :p

  • McMerc on 29/12/2011 - 23:14

    Don't have this particular Kambrook but the one I have (yellow and black 2000W one) leaves my other expensive Godfreys junk for dead. The performance on mine is comparable to Dysons if you keep your filters clean.

  • MrMaxwell on 29/12/2011 - 23:46

    Do Target let you get a refund for change of mind? I would love to try before I buy!

    • Ashlea on 29/12/2011 - 23:47

      Yeah, my intention was to return it if I got it home and didn't like it, which I've done with products from Target before.

      • delfredo on 30/12/2011 - 00:12

        Do they resell returned items?

        • jv on 30/12/2011 - 00:19

          Yes, but they don't include pirated video's and malware with their vaccums…

          But you may find a USB key in the vacuum cleaner, containing these.

  • Maestrok on 30/12/2011 - 00:09

    Anyone care to comment on this vs the airflo posted just a few deals down? I want to get either.

    • jv on 30/12/2011 - 00:20

      get the cheapest

    • McMerc on 30/12/2011 - 00:24

      Airflo is trash honestly, stay away IMHO.

    • Austin 316 on 30/12/2011 - 09:39

      Airflo is junk. My mate has it, and you will be lucky to get some dirt in the vacuum from 1 spot if you can stand there and vacuum it for 4 hours.

  • TZK on 30/12/2011 - 01:11

    The Kambrook KBV420 bagless vacuum can be had at Harris Scarfe post xmas sales for $100 atm. I got one the other day and am very happy with it's results for the price.

    • Mikinoz on 30/12/2011 - 07:56

      Link please as its not showing in lasoo or shopbot

    • xit on 30/12/2011 - 09:10

      Do you know the differences between the 250 and 420? Anyone please? They seem the same power.

  • MrMaxwell on 30/12/2011 - 11:46

    This unit is not listed on the Kambrook site :(

    • delfredo on 30/12/2011 - 11:53

      This model is specially made for Target. Look for the closest model number for similarities.

  • xit on 30/12/2011 - 15:01

    Bought one. Very happy so far. Will use it to clean our PC's and cars etc instead of lugging out the bigger vac we have with power head for main carpets.

    Thanks for the headsup Ashlea.

  • delfredo on 30/12/2011 - 18:36

    I finally went to have a look today. Instruction on the unit clearly states that the filter needs to be regularly cleaned and has to be replaced every 6 months. So while you're not buying vacuum bags, you need to buy the filters (a set).

    Power is only 1500 watts (not 1600 per Lasoo website). Kmart has the homemaker 2000 watt bag vacuum cleaner for $49. Comes with 1 year warranty and features 5 metre power cord, 360 degree swivel hose and includes 5 paper dust bags.

    • Ashlea on 30/12/2011 - 18:38

      I had kmarts one and found it pretty much useless, though I'm sure it'd be fine if you didn't have pets.

      • McMerc on 31/12/2011 - 23:08

        AGREED
