Toys and Games Reviews of iPlay 2-in-1 Vacuum
Customer Review: Fun for little cleaners
Summary: 4 Stars
We gave this to our 2-year-old on Christmas and she spent all day vacuuming! She's played with it every day since. If she sees a mess, she runs to get her new vacuum. She loves it, but I have my quibbles.
-First, there are absolutely no instructions. There are all kinds of warnings about what kind of batteries to use, but not the first hint about where to put them.
-Next, the detachable handle. Why? The kids are always taking it off and they can't get it back on.
-Also, the only part of the vacuum that "works" is the hand vac. That's the part that lights up and makes noise. The upright vac part is inert. It's just a big base for the hand vac.
This toy isn't very noisy. I'd rate it slightly less noisy than a microwave oven or maybe a turbo-desktop fan. Ours has picked up some cat hair. I didn't bother opening the little bag of styrofoam pellets that came with it because I didn't want to find them scattered all over the house. The vac also drains batteries pretty quickly. After one day of play, it had noticibly less power than when it was first turned on.
We've only had this a week, so I can't speak to its sturdiness yet, but I'll update this review if something comes up.
UPDATE: One year later and this is still my daughter's favorite toy. She runs for it at least once a week to help clean up. I'm listening to her tidy up, right now. Noted: the vac does actually pick up some dust, cat hair and tiny bits of debris, but there's no way to get them out of the container. A little annoying, but not awful.
