      I bought one for $49.90 but it's so bad, I wouldn't even buy for $25 if I have my time again.

        yeah, I used a mates one once - > they are so weak its of limited use. Wont suck sand out of car carpets aso. Also quite difficult to use in a car because of the form factor. I was wishing it had a flexible hose attachment.

        • bargaino on 04/01/2023 - 23:24

          No simple vacuum will suck sand from carpets. That's why they sell upright carpet cleaners with rotating brushes!

          • inherentchoice on 05/01/2023 - 12:09

    All the 1 star reviews speak to "gutless" suction.

    It does look like a generic 12v car vac from 20 years ago.

    • Serapis on 04/01/2023 - 19:08

      Can confirm, these are crap.

    • wwwsam on 04/01/2023 - 19:19

      They're decent enough to pull dirt from a spilt pot plant onto carpet. So yes they've come some ways from the crappy 12v car vac from 20 years ago.

      The sub $50 vac is obviously no 1000W AC vac so you shouldn't expect it to replace one.

      I personally find the main problem with these (and why people may think they're "gutless") is to do with the tiny filters clogging up way too fast.

      A bit of a pain, but keep the tiny filters clean and they're pretty decent.
      Otherwise pay more for a better vac.

      • tonka on 04/01/2023 - 19:44

        One of the things with the filters is also being selective about what you vac up. Trying to vacuum a whole house of plaster dust is gonna clog filters, same with damp stuff. But I use this for gungy stuff to save wear and tear on the pricey Dyson and Robot Vac.

      They are awesome for small easy jobs instead of a dustpan, dust bunnies, crumbs, tidy the corners the robot vac misses. Gives my batteries somewhere to hang out when I'm not using my tools. A job that needs suction I get out the vac with suction. Not the $40 job.

    • BargainKen on 05/01/2023 - 08:08

      Of course it sucks if people use it to do things its not intended to do. Its basically an electric dustpan with a little more reach and convenience.

    • Prong on 05/01/2023 - 13:17

      In my experience low suction is (mostly) from using anything less than a 4Ah battery.

      The smaller batteries can't supply enough current for the vacuum motor to run at full power. Even the 4Ah battery is not great when under half charge.

      Don't get me wrong it is still great for sawdust etc with any battery. But for tougher jobs, a freshly charged 4Ah battery makes a huge difference.
      Rinsing out the cloth filter occasionally helps too, if it is clogged with very fine particles.

    Not sure why people are trying to use this to clean the whole house.
    It's better suited to quickly suck up sawdust around the shed, or give the work bench a once over.
    Never going to replace a dyson.

    • subywagon on 05/01/2023 - 12:00

      Exactly. I use it while renovating to suck up crap after drilling or sawing or cleaning to quickly remove dust from shelves before I wipe, or to vacuum up insects. Great for that. I haven't used any other brands to compare it with, but it works good enough for me for the price.

    It's not that it's weak, but that it clogs so easily. The fine particles make its way into the motor and the air outlet, and then it's useless.
    I have resurrected it plenty of times by disassembling the whole unit and cleaning it. But yeah not buying another one.

    • Prong on 05/01/2023 - 13:08

      It might be worth checking if you have an air leak, which allows dust to bypass the filter cloth. Perhaps in the section where the plastic filter holders lock into place.

      As I comparison, I have a 6 year old one of these vacuums, and I have never had them clog. I pulled mine apart at 4 years old to mod it into a stick vac (I was running power down from the switch to a motorised head) and the foam filters inside had minimal build up. The vacuum had been heavily used too. That said, it was for normal dirt and dust, and I never specifically vacuumed very fine dust that might get through the fabric filter. I do clean the fabric filter regularly too.

      You could remove the foam filters from the air outlets inside the vac, so avoid buildup. It does blow a lot of air out sideways then though which might be annoying.

  • WSDtightwad on 04/01/2023 - 23:37

    I got one of these, it couldn't even suck sand up off tiles. Returned it.
    YMMV. But I'd say nope.

    It's not on sale but if you're looking for a decent vacuum for the car and you're in the Ozito system I can recommend:

    https://ozito.com.au/products/18v-cordless-wet-dry-vacuum-in…

    Good suction, easy to empty and clean, hose is good quality. Pumps up a tall double mattress in a couple of minutes. I was looking at the similar Ryobi one on sale the other day and as far as I can tell the Ozito is better overall. I'm in the process of upgrading my set from Oz but I reckon the vacuum will be the last thing to go (if it ever does).

        Can't say as I've never used it. But the advantage to the one I've linked is you can pick it up with one hand, pack it away on a shelf in the laundry etc. The one you linked looks pretty big and clunky.

      • Prong on 05/01/2023 - 12:50

        I compared these, and bought the bigger one. Mostly for the larger catchment.

        They have the same suction power. The smaller one has a lower air flow rate. It's likely the exact same motor and centrifugal fan internally.

        The larger one is good, though the hose and fittings are pretty average. The hose itself is very stiff and not very long. I modded a hose from some old vacuums into one long hose, so for car vacuuming, the vac just sits outside and I can reach anywhere with the hose.

    • WSDtightwad on 05/01/2023 - 12:24

      I got one of these, but on vacuum it keep overheating the battery and shutting down after a few minutes. It got returned.

      • RolandWaites on 05/01/2023 - 12:46

        Interesting. Must've been a dud unit. With the 4ah mine's never had an issue.

    These are terrible, good enough to suck up some sawdust or similar. I think the filter is too restrictive and the dust collection area is too small.

    There was a deal of Ryobi stick vacuum? https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-hp-brushless-stick… It currently sits on $369 which is a bit too high. Would be a goo deal any soon?
    Anyone got it? any good?

  • Prong on 05/01/2023 - 13:00

    I have two of these, and think they are great for the price, if you are already in the Ozito ecosystem.

    Key is that you need to use a 4Ah battery. The vacuum is very powerful, but the smaller batteries can't supply enough power, and it has much weaker suction using them.

    Even the 4Ah battery is only just able to supply enough power. A fresh off the charger battery gives amazing performance but as the voltage drops after a few minutes under load, you can feel the difference in suction. Anything under half charge on a 4Ah starts to get a little eh in terms of suction.

    The filter assembly isn't the simplest to clean, but not too bad. I don't find it clogs too fast, unless vacuuming a lot of very fine stuff. The whole collection area can be full and it still has decent suction IMO, provided it has a fresh battery.

    My original one is 6 years old, and 2 years back I modded it into a stick vacuum, using a powered vacuum head and some pipe. It was just going to be for the garage, but has ended up as my main house vacuum. I empty it once a week, and blow out the filter fabric with my garden jet blower every couple of weeks. Occasionally rinsing and and drying the filter fabric is good too.

  • SearchAndSave on 05/01/2023 - 19:43

    There have been concerns about the suction power of this Ozito model which ultimately is the function of the motor. When all things are equal, I don't think a freshly charged 2Ah battery will perform any differently than a 4Ah battery except for the peak power period is shorter. Unfortunately neither the power outputs (measured in watts) of the Ozito PXC 18V Hand Vacuum or the ALDI 20V Stick Vac are provided.

    I have an older ALDI Stick Vac with 130W motor. It's not very strong but does a decent job of cleaning the car with better accessories included.

    • Prong on 06/01/2023 - 11:30

      The 4Ah battery is effectively two 2Ah batteries in parallel, so can output double the current. The vacuum doesn't hit the battery current limiter, so it's not actually pulling double the current, but the vac is noticeably more powerful on a 4Ah battery.

      Part of this is because the 4Ah battery will get less voltage drop under load. Higher voltage for the same current means more power. A few more amps from the battery, and a few less volts of droop under load can easily give 30%+ more power.

      I don't know what the actual difference in power is in this case. I do have a a rig for capacity testing the batteries, so if I get a chance I will measure the difference in current flow and voltage using a 4Ah vs 2Ah battery.

      It's not the only Ozito tool that does this - most of the more powerful single battery tools develop noticeably more power with a 4Ah battery. Which is why many of the manuals recommend a 4Ah (or 5.2Ah battery), and why some of the very high power tools run two 18V batteries - double the voltage for the same current means double the power.
