Quantum X Vacuum - Updated Review 9 Month Follow-up

I'll tell you my personal thoughts and experiences with the Quantum X Vacuum that we purchased on Facebook 9 months ago (December 2019). Truth only because we're not sponsored!

thanks for a great video. You're very articulate! Im having an issue with changing out the water basin...its stuck and will not come out. Any information?

The reason the hardwood attachment has that swivel neck is to keep the attachment FLAT against the floor when you extend the wand or go under furniture. It rotates to the R or L to maintain the head flat against the floor. The other thing is you should be able to use that pet hair attachment on your stairs. 🤗

Thanks. This was very helpful. Appreciate your thoughtful comments!

I did my stair, which is a lot of stairs. I used the attachment that has the removable brush and it worked great.👍🏼

Thank you for this great review! Your children are adorable, your pets so cute and happy. You bring up an interesting dilemma about fluid dynamics and maneuverability so I'll share this interesting side note.... a former trucker friend told me that that water wobble (fluid momentum) you described is _also_ what makes trailers transporting liquid very difficult to haul, and believe it or not, especially _milk tankers_ because whereas most liquid transportation trailers have v-shaped protrusions inside the tanker to break the fluid momentum and reduce that force from the _inside_ of the trailer, milk transporters can not support that feature bc it turns the milk into cottage cheese during transport (!) so.. milk transport trailers are actually some of the most difficult and dangerous trailers to haul, even more dangerous than fuel transporters!

re the squeegee(?) attachment @6:00 are the blades a soft rubber? It seems that, if the blades are malleable, you could trim them down to reduce that height of those side openings and if you left the front facing blade a little longer, it would put a little more pressure on the surface as you draw the hose towards you. I have had great success trimming various attachments into better use and efficiency, especially ones that just don't work... better to try to alter them than have them never used.
thanks again.

Quantum vac is meant only for guys going to gym all the time. Not for a normal man or woman.
If you watch the demo video a lady operating the Quantum vac
She holds and moves the vac forward and back in straight
and is not tilting sideways to change the direction. The reason the body is too heavy to bring it back to normal straight position of the handle. As an orthopedic physician my strong advice if you bought this vac better return it. Otherwise you will end up with major problems with your wrist and even carpal tunnel syndrome. It looks beautiful and powerful but has problems in maneuvering the vac. Totally not recommended.

Thanks that was a nice review on the vacuum cleaner. I was thinking about getting one.

Thank you for this! I'm trying to decide on a vacuum.

I have been using mine for about 5 mos. I think it does a great job. And while I wanted to get way from emptying the dusty, dirty canister & the dirty filters, there are some cons for me to consider going back to my Shark that does a great job too. 1) you have to clean out the water canister each time (so no quick clean up before company arrives). We have a cat & 2 dogs, so LOTS of hair builds up in the black S tube - so make sure you rinse it out good. 2) I really miss having a cord keeper, and REALLY miss the hose & attachments mounted right on the vacuum. For those reasons alone, I would go back to my Shark if it wasn't for the price of the Quantum.

At the 3.40 mark on the video i noticed the curtain in the background starts fluttering? Looks like a ghost because only one of the curtains move? Scary!!!

[rustyandres]

Thanks! Great video. If the hose is a standard 1 1/4" you can use better attachments. I find the "Rug Rat" is the best turbo stair tool.

So, the larger of the two brush heads, and the rubber squeegee head... They both come apart... The bristles slide off the brush, so it's just a small head, which allows for more area coverage when sucking up water. The rubber comes off the squeegee, which allows it to sit flat on the floor and cover more area, but since there's still two holes left on top, I'm not sure how great the suction would be. Also, the rotating brush attachment, the rubber bristles are moveable. They twist to be over the opening with the rotating brush bristles, so you can't push hard enough to cut off air flow.

Thank you so very much for your review info. I have been looking at the water filtration vacuums but did not want to lug a canister around. I was considering this vacuum since it is the only upright on the market. They sell on Amazon and I read the various reviews but a lot of people were complaining about it falling apart. Im not sure if it has to do with how you treat your vacuums .. idk. I tend to treat everything i own with great care. I have used the Sears bag uprights, several different shark vacuums, kirby and the old Oreck. I have horrible dust allergies which is why I was seriously considering this vacuum. I can't empty the tank vacuums without having a full blown asthma attack so thought this might be better. Bag vacuums are fine but those are becoming far and few in-between these days. I do have a lot of stairs and 5 large breed French sheepdogs which have long hair but these are a breed that don't fully blow/shed coat (having hair not fur) and don't get a stinky body. My big concern would be how does it pick up the dog hair? Again thanks so much for posting this. It's a huge help.

I love mine!!! Just got it. I will take it over the expensive Rainbow any day!

[mflynn]

Found one about an hour away lightly used and it's $200 and they love it but was gifted something else that weights half as much and love that too. So hope I am getting a great deal because we have two dogs and one of them is a puppy and she kinda lives in our tiled dinning area and its nasty and we need something that can easily pick up pee messes quickly but can also do normal vacuuming on the rugs. Hope this is the 2 in one we need cause we could Never pay $300 or more for anything let alone a Vac. Thanks for this.

I loved mine. I had a blue one. The only problem is that it was SO HEAVY and after I hurt my shoulder, I could not use it anymore. I gave it away.

[kellymcentee]

It truly is really heavy. I have 3 golden retrievers that shed a lot and I’ve been having a lot of problems with the hair gettin stuck in the roller brush under the vacuum instead of getting sucked up so it has made the vacuum useless for me. I’m wondering if anyone else has this problem?

[xionpentagast]

Thank you soooo much for this review I think it's really helped me decide.

[carolhatfield]

Here's my review it's very heavy vacuum cleaner and every time you use it you have to clean out that nasty mess in the water filte. Which is OK because you're not blowing air around and getting everything dirty and dusty again. It's easy to take apart and clean out the tubes. There's a video out there that shows you how you can take the cleaning head off. But when my rollers wouldn't rotate and I cleaned them they said push the red button on the back of a powerhead to restart. Mine was not RED!!! it was a little black tab/square button that looked like just part of the machine. Took me forever trying to find a RED BUTTON (on the Quantum x vacuum) When I found this little black square I pushed it and the rollers started working.

PS. The serious downside besides the fact that it's an extremely heavy vacuum cleaner you cannot wrap the cord around and the bag Has to just sit on the floor but the biggest issue is the fact that if you extend your cleaning wand completely out using all the attachments it does not suck very well at all. So when I use my cleaning wand to vacuum the hardwood floors to get back underneath the chairs and stuff I only use 2 extensions rather than 3. And within the 1st month of June using it the flexible cable that attach is the wand tore off and I had to tape it back on
