Simplicity Jill Lightweight Canister Vacuum

I've been using a version of this for decades. I love the compactness, maneuverability and great suction. I'm not wild about the rug attachments but my rugs are so small I just use the regular nozzle. A NOTE ABOUT OVERHEATING: Recently mine stopped working due to overheating ~ note to self, change the bag before it is bursting, especially when vacuuming granular items like kitty litter or oatmeal. I knew there was a feature to cut the motor in the event of overheating so I waited several hours but it still didn't start despite feeling cool to the touch. So I ordered a new one that arrived the next day. (Thank you Amazon). But before uynpacking it I tried the old one a final time and lo and behold it was working fine. So I returned the new one (Thanks again Amazon) and hopefully the old one will continue doing the awesome job it has been doing.

This is the 3d Jill we bought. It appears sturdier than the two prior models. It replaces a battery powered sick vacuum we paid 4 times the price for and that was utterly useless. Suction power is awesome. Size is small, also great. We also arrived to the conclusion that a bag is much better than bagless vacuum. The latter ending up having dust all over the kitchen when emptying. And bags are easy to change and very affordable for Jill. The only slight negative is that it is noisy. But we can live with that. Highly recommended.

Would not recommend. It is made of cheap plastic. I have LVP flooring, I vacuum once a week and the cord recoil broke in less than 2 months. Now unable to return according to Amazon and Simplicity. While I thought the suction power was great at first, the level made the vacuum head feel like it was scraping the floors. Some of my throw rugs are heavy and this thing still grabbed on and pulls them up, so you have to stand on one end and try to vacuum them. I have used a Kenmore cannister vacuum for over 34 years & just recently had my 2nd one had issues with the hose and could not find a replacement part; thought I'd save a few bucks since it's just my husband and I now. What a waste of money.

Excellent suction. Unit rolls smoothly. Not as effective on carpeted areas

This vacuum has soo much suction for it's small size. I won't keep the attachments on the wand, too cumbersome...a shelf until needed...other than that, Awesome!

Before purchasing this vacuum I was using an off brand stick vacuum I got off of TikTok shop for $35. I hated the battery life and everyone I know kept recommending this specific vacuum to replace it with given the price point and the fact that it plugs in and has a bag. was really excited to get this because I needed to do some serious vacuuming around my house (I have a crazy shedder dog and two cats). All I can say is that I am NOT blown away. It seems to have the same suction power as my stick, its harder to move around and use, the tube never stays untwisted, the cord is not long enough for the spaces I need it for, and the attachments are dismal. The suction power on it is good enoough but the attachments level it down dramatically, on top of the navigation aspect of the machine. The handle on the machine itself is hard to hold because you can only grab it from one side of the machine. A pro is that it has a lot of filters and gives off no smell when using it which I can not say the same for my other vacuum. The bag lasted me 3 full house deep cleans which is impressive in my eyes given my stick only lasted one room before needing to be cleaned out. It is a good size and fits nicely in my small house, but I would probably not recommend this to anyone, I would have rather gone with a better stick vacuum with back up batteries had I known all of this.

Works great for a budget canister vacuum. The standard sizing is nice. The suction on this vac is GREAT. I bought a wessel werk floor head that came with a longer, sturdier wand and this thing is AWESOME now. Don't get me wrong the standard wand and floor head are "okay". This unit is much smaller than I thought it was going to be. Just about 2/3 the size of my Miele C3.

I have been searching for a really good vacuum, and found it in this one. Great suction power, lightweight, easily stored, BUT so far I have yet to find bags to fit this vacuum. I emailed the actual company directly, no reply. So, vacuum's great, but can't keep using it if I can't find bags. FRUSTRATED with this. The co. website has bags, but they don't list the vacuums they fit, and there is no number on the bag that came with the one I purchased. Hopefully they'll see this & reply with bag info....

The empty bag indicator doesn't work and it's very difficult to change the attachments on the metal pole. I waited to complain and now it's too late for Amazon to return it. I'm in communication with the company, but I don't know how it's going to work out. The brush on the floor and upholstery attachments are pretty skimpy. On the positive side, it's compact, light and easy to handle.

As title says and it wasn’t very effective when it was working…
