Customer Reviews of Westinghouse WST1600A Unplugged Cord-Free Vacuum
Customer Rating:  Summary: Battery Problem Comment: This is one great vacuum but I need a battery. It is a 14.4v Westinghouse BP 1600. If anyone knows where I might find a replacement, please email me at magaria@aol.com. Customer Rating:  Summary: Batteries lasted 6 months Comment: Quick review Needs constant cleaning. Heavy as heck, batteries lasted about 4-5 months before they wouldn't charge. Westinghouse wants $120 for new ones. It's a throw away vacuum after 6 months unless you want to plop down another $120. Buy a Dirt Devil or Eureka. But not a Shark! Customer Rating: Summary: Unplugged Comment: I have had this wonderful cordless vacuum for over a month and I don't know how I ever vacuumed before.Such ease to use(after a few time useing) No cords to plug and unplug.Can go from room to room now without the nasty cord having to be taken from room to room .Or no more cords to get wrapped around my feet or leg. The power is great.Like it commits it last 30 minutes.For me that is the entire house. Use of the attachment are easy to use.Pull them off the holders and slide onto the hose and off you go.But like it states this does use a lot of the battery charge . The only thing that is hard to deal with is the hose .Once you are done with it and you put it back into the handle it doesn't stay there.It takes some time to get the handle and hose attachment to make contact and stay. The batteries are plan and simple Click the button and battery stays in place and click it again and out comes the battery so you can slide it into the charger. Ease to dump canister.Though hard at first to get it to click back into place.But with use it becomes easier. Customer Rating: Summary: Too heavy... Comment: I'm a big fan of upright cordless vacuums for daily pickup of dog hair and dust bunnies on our tile and wood floors. These guys can't replace the power of a regular corded vac on carpets but are nice to have around for easy inbetween jobs on hard surfaces. After our old Eureka Boss died which we absolutely loved after a long life, we found they're not made anymore so decided to try this one. It's more powerful than the usual cordless uprights but is a pain to use. It shuts off if stood upright (it's supposed to) and is very heavy to manouver around or get up and down a stair or two. The cannister fills up quickly. On the plus side, it's better on rugs and carpets than the usual uprights. Not great, but good enough. For us, it's not practical as one of the beauties of having a cordless is that the kids can help out with some easy vacuuming or I just whizz around for a quick pick-up. This model is too heavy for my children (8 & 11) to move from room to room where there are 2 stairs and they bang it on my hardwood floor accidentally as they try to lift it. It's also too heavy for me as I have to be careful of my back. This model will be relegated to our basement which is just one big open area as I search for another lighter weight model. If my back was stronger, we had less furniture to manouver around, no steps, and more storage space for housing the big charger and big vacuum, I might like this model. But as such, it's just not a very convenient tool to use in our house for a quick clean except in our open floored basement. I've given it 3 stars as the suction is better than the usual cordless uprights. We have another new one at the office (different brand to this) and that one is pretty useless. The wand is a nice touch too for when you need it. But otherwise, too heavy and cumbersome for our type of house. And the automatic switch offs are a pain when you just want to whizz through the house quickly. Customer Rating: Summary: Low Performance Comment: It is no wonder this vacuum is discontinued. But what is unacceptable is the fact that the company would not back it's product. Even though my vacuum's warranty expired, I feel because of all the problems I experienced with this product, that they would do what they could to correct the problem. The battery packs wear out and the cost of a new battery is a whopping $135.OO! That is what I was told. They would not send me a new battery and you have to remember to recondition the battery at certain intervals. Just too much maintenance on this sweeper. More Reviews * 15.5 amp- more than any other vacuum! * Interchangeable power packs- never leaves you without power! * Long life HEPA filter- lasts 7 years! Model: WST1600A 
Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Check the capacity. 'Standard' 60cm wide dishwashers can take 12, 14 or 16 place settings, whilst slimline 45cm models may cater for 7, 8 or 9 place settings. Compact dishwashers tend to be 45 cm wide and can be placed on the worktop or built in, depending on the model. They may take 4, 5 or 6 place settings. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens The standard 60cm oven has been joined by various other sizes. Now consumers can choose from 60,70 and 90cm wide built-in single ovens. Always check the internal capacity shown in litres as well as the external dimensions. Westinghouse WST1600A Unplugged Cord-Free Vacuum
