About this product
The Tower Optimum Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is built for quick clean-ups, car interiors, and upholstery. At just over a kilo, it's light enough to carry around the house or take out to the car, and the 14.8 volt motor gives you up to 7KPA of suction to tackle crumbs, pet hair, and everyday mess. The battery runs for up to 20 minutes on a full charge, which is plenty for spot cleaning or doing the car seats, and there's a battery indicator so you know when it needs recharging.
It's got variable speed control so you can dial it down for delicate fabrics or turn it up for stubborn dirt. The dustbin is compact at 0.2l, so you'll be emptying it more often, but it keeps the whole thing lightweight and easy to handle. It takes a few hours to recharge fully, and comes with a charging stand to keep it ready and out of the way. You also get a crevice tool for tight gaps and an upholstery tool for sofas, cushions and car seats. Works brilliantly on upholstery, stairs and hard-to-reach spots around the house or in the car.

Customers Say
Handheld vacuum praised for light weight, easy use, and decent suction on small messes, especially cars. Some find suction weak, battery life short, and lack of variable power disappointing.

So effective
I bought this last week and I’ve found it very useful and efficient for awkward corners and the stair carpet.

Ergonomically excellent and functional.
Purchased within last week but already proven to be excellent. Does everything it says it does on packaging. Easy to assembly, empty and charge.

Great little gadget
Really good little gadget. Good suction and very light. Easy to empty too. All in all a great little thing. Only downside is Argos are charging top dollar for. It's cheaper elsewhere.

Don't buy it!
I can't believe how terrible this is. It has almost no suction whatsoever. I saw some reviews saying this but decided to believe the ones which said it was wonderful. Also, it says in the description that there is variable power but there isn't. When it was so bad, I thought I must be able to turn it up to a higher setting but no, there is only one. I certainly don't recommend it.

Excellent and lightweight to use

Trixie, 65 or over
Did not do what it advertised
Not as powerful as advertised, and was not able to return it as the assistant said I had tried it
Bob bit tight, 65 or over
Ok but not worth the money
Not as powerful as I thought.
Caz54, 55 - 64
Very poor
It does not do the work it supposed to do. Suction is very bad
Sen, 45 - 54
No power
Rubbish don't buy not worth the pennies
Maff, 35 - 44
Brilliant
Great little vac for sucking up crumbs, and very handy to clean the car.

Hello there,
You do not need to hold the power button down continuously when using the Tower Optimum Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, a single press turns the unit on, and subsequent presses adjust speed or turn it off.

Thanks for using Q&A.
I have purchased this product today and I also cannot get the item to operate in 2 different speeds. It has one speed and one speed only. I will be returning the item this week and ask colleagues in store to demonstrate to me how to operate the 2 speeds. The items is incorrectly described.
Hi Kat,
Tower Optimum Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
Having checked I can see the unit will automatically begin to operate at low speed. The LED display and a green light indicator will light up to show the unit is on and operating at low speed. Press the On/Off button again while the unit is operating on Low speed mode to switch to High speed mode. The green LED indicator on the unit’s control panel will go out and a red indicator light will come on to show the unit is operating at High speed.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Phyl,
The supplier has advised the following for the Tower Optimum Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner:
"We can confirm that this product has a crevice tool however it is not very long so may not be suitable for the car cleaning."
Thank you for using Q&A.
