Spare your child
November 28, 2012
This is my first "poor" review of any product from PBK, and I have bought everything from cribs to the retro kitchen. I felt led to inform parents of the poor quality of this vacuum cleaner before they disappoint their children by getting this for Christmas. In my opinion, the vacuum should have been discontinued long ago. How many complaints and returns does it take before PBK listens to their customers?!! This item is cheaply made and will frustrate even the most patient child...like mine.
The attachments fall off, the confetti balls barely move, the humming sound is so faint you can barely hear it. Though recommended for ages 3 and up, my 3 year old granddaughter was a bit too tall for the gadget...and she is quiet short for her age. I returned the vacuum after a week of putting the attachments back on dozens of times.
I don't mind paying top dollar for quality items but I truly wouldn't buy this vacuum again at any price!

I would expect more from a toy vacuum for this price. It is very noisy. My grand daughter does like it though.

Cute vacuum, Cheaply made
March 23, 2012
Very cute vacuum... no doubt about it. I have to agree with another reviewer though... for $49 it feels very cheap/flimsy.

Pink Dyson
February 28, 2012
I bought this for my daughters second birthday. My son had a version just like it from another store which he wore out. She loves it, especially since it is just like our real Dyson. Unfortunately, just like our real Dyson, one of the attachments does not stay on its resting spot which is frustrating for her. Otherwise I would give this five stars. I also wish they could have the whirling go at the same time the vacuum feature is on.

This is adorable! My granddaughter looooves it! It's just like my Dyson, only pink! She loves that it really sucks up dirt and can be emptied too. So very cool and construction is superb!

Adorable Vacuum Cleaner
December 1, 2011
My daughters absolutely love this vacuum. It's a replica of my real Dyson. They love following me around the house pretending to vacuum whenever I get my vacuum out. And its made so well. It could almost pass as a real vacuum!!

Very Cute for a little mommy's helper
November 23, 2011
My daughter loves to help me around the house when I vacuum and dust. She is always pretending to clean, so when I saw this, I had to get it for her for Christmas. I looks to be good quality, color matches with her pink retro kitchen. I gave it 4 stars since we haven't used it for an extended period of time yet. It would be great if it really picked up the dust and dirt too, but the play vortex is cute and colorful.

Great toy but falls apart ALL the time!
October 3, 2011
My almost 3yr old boy/girl twins LOVE this toy vac and could play with it for hours! However several times a day we are putting the lower gray front part (that says Dyson on it) back on. It is very cheaply made! And for a $50 toy, you would expect more from PBK!! If the store was not so far away from my house, I would return it!

Not worth the money..
September 24, 2011
We got this for our daughter last Christmas and I was very disappointed in the quality. It is very flimsy. The hose attachment constantly falls off and it squeaks as it rolls. The idea of it and design are adorable, but I would not recommend it.

January 25, 2011
I love this little vacuum. I had no idea that it actually works from the handle!!! Very neat. It's a little squeaky...but so is my vacuum for home :)...I bought it full price with rewards....now it looks like it is on sale. Definetely unique compared to others I have seen. I try to buy my daughter a few pottery barn toys every holiday for her collection. She is still young, but when she gets a little older, she will love having them!

A huge disapointment!
January 17, 2011
I realize that all the reviews have been great. But this toy really doesn't work very well. You have barely hear it working. The sounds are faint. The whirling confetti inside hardly move.
I just can not believe that everyone is this satisfied.
A great idea but this toy needs to be upgraded. I would buy it with a revised version.

A Hassle 4 my Girls...
January 13, 2011
My girls received this from "Santa" this past xmas and it has been nothing but a pain in the rear for them to use. It is absolutely Adorable and of very Good Quality but my girls have such a hard time detaching the wand, removing and reattching the attachments and the front end is always falling off! They're so frustrated w/it that they've finally given up on it. My 5yr old has a MUCH EASIER time using Mommy's REAL Dyson than she does this one!

Making Cleaning Fun
January 1, 2011
This mini Dyson vacuum is a very fun toy for children that like to imitate mommy and daddy. It contains realistic sounds and is almost exactly like a real Dyson. My only complaint is that the front wheels squeak when rolling. I'm sure there is a fix to that problem, I just have not tackled it yet. My daughter loves it anyway!

My little girl received this for Christmas and just loves it. She loves that it really "woks", not to mention that it is adorable. A little squeak when you push it but nothing that should stop anyone from purchasing.
