Vroom Your Room
If you asked me what I’d like to be doing at any given moment, you might hear me say sitting on a beach in Maui reading the Twilight series over again, dancing under the stars on a rooftop in NYC with Ryan Gosling, or waking up with my family in the dream suite of Cinderella’s castle in the Magic Kingdom.
I can assure you that the one answer you will never hear would be, “I sure would like to be cleaning my house right now.”
I know there are plenty of people out there who find joy in keeping their houses clean and tidy, but I am not one of those people. Don’t get me wrong. I like the end result of clean and tidy, but I just don’t like the actual cleaning it part.
It isn’t that I like to live in total chaos, but finding the motivation to keep things company ready at all times is just something I’ve never been able to do.
I’m always on the lookout for products or solutions to simplify the whole cleaning up process, so when I was asked to review the Vroom Solo I was really excited.
About the Vroom…
This small, but powerful, vacuum can clean up a mess in less time than it takes to find a broom or go get the cleaning supplies. Vroom installs in kitchen and bathroom cabinets or under the counter in workrooms so you won’t ever have to go looking for it. Vroom is always there, always convenient and an auto on/off means it’s ready when you need it. And with up to 24 ft. of retractable hose, Vroom goes a long way towards making your life easier!
Vroom’s versatility makes it ideal for quick clean-ups on counters, floors, in drawers and aroundappliances. It can handle every surface of your home, from floor to ceiling. Pet hair, cereal,broken glass–no dry mess is a match for Vroom’s speed and convenience.
My Review
After having it and using it for a few months, here are a few of the pros and cons I’ve noticed about the system…
Pros:
-I love not having to pull out and put away my vacuum every time I need to clean up a couple of crumbs (which when you have pets and kids is like every other minute). It is amazing how avoiding that one extra step makes all the difference in the world. By the time I would have lugged out the Dyson, unwrapped the cord, and plugged it in, I could have already had the mess cleaned up with the Vroom.
-It is so simple that even my 7 and 9-year old have been using it to clean up their messes. I let them eat their breakfast in the living room (bad mom, I know) so along with that comes crumbs. Now that we have the Vroom, they are in charge of cleaning up their own mess.
-It has an extremely powerful suction to it. It is way more powerful than my Dyson Animal if that gives you any idea. I was blown away by how quickly and effectively it gets the job done.
-The hose is super long (24 feet) and will reach most of my first floor (this is because I live in a teeny, tiny house). From hair in the first floor bathroom to cat food in the kitchen, it has been a big help to me.
-It is compact so it will easily fit under a kitchen or bathroom sink. We chose to put ours in the living room so it would be in a more central spot and reach more space, but it really is small enough to hide away.
-It comes with an adjustable wand tool so you don’t have to do a lot of bending or straining when using it to clean your floor.
Cons:
-The installation was a little more complex than I was expecting. You need to wire things if you don’t have an outlet readily available under your sink (or wherever you choose to place it). They do have a link on the site for finding a dealer to have it professionally installed, but I’m thinking that would probably be an additional cost. We were able to do it ourselves, but my husband is pretty handy.
-It takes bags. I’ve always had bagless vacuums so this is a new inconvenience and cost for me. I will say that I have just been emptying the bag (which I’m quite sure isn’t recommended by the manufacturer) so I haven’t had to replace one yet. The bottom line is that although this is a con, I do think that it is a minor one and it may be just a personal pet peeve for me.
Final Thoughts:
I do want to end on a positive note and say that I have really come to love my Vroom! I will go as far as to say that I don’t ever want to go back to life without it. While I will never, EVER love to clean my house, the Vroom helps me to keep on top of the mess a whole lot better than I had been prior to receiving it.

Interesting. I enjoy cleaning- I know it’s weird, but I LOVED my Swivel Sweeper for the first couple months and then the spinning mechanism began locking up- I think I will go check out this one.
