There are a lot of companies making vacuum cleaners, but they generally suffer from poor design and are ugly too. Heck, too many of them don't seem to actually pick up dirt either! Enter the Roidmi F8 Storm, a beautifully designed cordless vacuum cleaned with tons of suction, HEPA filtration and great battery life. Tech expert and homeowner Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ had a chance to test out the Roidmi F8 Storm and found it a great addition to his cleaning arsenal. With one small problem to know about... Check the F8 Storm at Amazon: https://amzn.to/2ZvNbku

This vacuum really sucks, but in a good way, let's have a look
0:11
Dave Taylor here, and aside from all the obvious vacuum jokes, I actually am looking at a pretty cool vacuum
0:17
This is the RoidMee F8 Storm, and it's basically a direct competitor to the Dyson V10
0:24
but at a lot lower price tag. It's also a really well-designed and well-engineered device
0:29
So, first off the bat, you have the main unit, which is what this is, and it has two buttons, power on and off, and then speed fast and slow
0:37
I shall demonstrate, power on, and then speed fast, which has quite a lot of sucking power
0:50
I can pick up some dust while I'm at it. Turn it off, though
0:54
You have to push it down. It's kind of loud, but it's..
0:59
It's not really designed to just have it open like this. So maybe a better test would be to put one of these attachments on it, like this one
1:06
And let's see. It goes like this. And now let's give it another shot
1:13
And this would be like for cleaning your car and stuff. And it's doing a pretty nice job
1:19
As you can see, it has a lot of attachments. So let me get this thing to turn off
1:27
So let me tell you a little bit about it. So the attachments are pretty durable
1:33
Hang on a second, I'll be right back. Okay, rescued. Now, let me tell you about some of the attachments
1:39
because we have this. This is like your couch and furniture brush
1:43
We have this, which is a carpet brush, which will demonstrate in a second
1:47
So it has two different rollers. It has this brush roller, and the brush is pretty soft
1:53
And then it also has this even softer roller that would be appropriate for
1:59
I don't even know. I don't know what, you know, honestly, I vacuum a lot, but I don't modify or change my attachments
2:06
So this is just even softer for even different surfaces. Perhaps this would be really good for a hardwood floor, for example
2:12
And then it comes with this little gizmo that help you clean if you get hair caught in that, which is kind of inevitable
2:19
It has a metal extension tube And it also has this which is another little roller attachment this one probably even better for your couch or something so you can see there just lots of
2:30
different options there's obviously this which i would say i will be using to clean my car and
2:36
just has a simple button on the front pops off everything comes out super easy to work with you
2:42
can then assemble it so i can put this on it for example and then i can put this brush on it
2:49
it on the end, which will involve just a little bit more. And now I am ready to go. It's a pretty
2:56
long vacuum here, but let's actually go and have a quick demo. I'll show you how it works
3:01
with two different speeds. Now watch, because first we're going to do it at regular speed
3:07
and then I'm going to do the same vacuuming again with the higher vacuuming speed and obviously
3:13
the greater suction. Now, let me give you some specs, okay
4:05
First off, this is 3.3 pounds, so it's actually quite lightweight, easy to work with
4:11
It's reasonably quiet. I think we've gotten a little bit of an unusual volume level because it's so close to my face
4:18
which is so close to the microphone. In reality, I think that your experience would be that it's reasonably quiet as a vacuum
4:24
Inherently, they're all noisy. There's no way around that. It's also powerful
4:28
It has 100,000 RPM DC motor generating at its maximum 18,500 pascals of suction
4:36
Now, don't ask me what a Pascal of suction is. I don't know. But it generates 18,000 of them
4:42
So that's a lot, right? It runs on 55 minutes for a charge depending on if you using high power or low power And it actually has a HEPA filtration system a four HEPA filtration system with filters you can pop out and clean
4:56
And it even comes with a spare HEPA filter, which is actually a really nice feature
5:00
It also has LED sensors. So you see that on the top to show me when I have my battery needing charging and all that
5:08
And one of my favorite things, it has this magnetic holder. So you can actually, let's see
5:14
I figure out how to do it right. There's a way you can do this where it will actually just sit on the charger
5:20
I haven't experimented much with that because obviously I'm still in the test phase as opposed
5:25
to in the put it on my wall phase. But that's actually really nice
5:29
And here's what's kind of weird. It comes with an app. Well there is a RoidMe cleaner app which actually Royd Me
5:37
It's part of the show me ecosystem or me if you're familiar with that
5:42
So this app gives you things. like an overview of the vacuum once you've paired it, and it gives you the ability to make some
5:49
changes to settings and look at some status, manage and update of firmware and stuff
5:54
I don't really think that's very mission critical, but your perspective might be different
5:59
So like I said, the real competitor here is probably like the Dyson V-10, and these are all
6:05
these, you know, vacuums that are designed for apartment dwellers, for people with small places
6:11
is maybe to have in your small office when it's just two or three of you where yeah
6:17
something falls something spills and now you have a tool to clean it up so with
6:21
that in mind let's actually clean something up so it moves things out of the way and
6:26
just happen to have some breadcrumbs right here and these are the same stunt breadcrumbs
6:33
that we used in the previous video inserts I'm just gonna dump some on the table
6:38
here and then we'll just use this and you'll get a good sense of how quickly and easily
6:44
you can clean up messes so ready I'm going to turn this on and then I'm going to
6:51
again put it on maximum and then we're just going to clean it up and that has let's see
7:08
That got all gotten all of it It all in the bin Now which leads me to one of my few complaints about this there a lot i really like about this it really a nice design but this
7:22
bin is pretty small there's not a lot of capacity and if you for example have a pet you are vacuuming
7:29
even your hardwood or something this will fill up with pet fur pretty darn fast and then it's a
7:34
bit of fiddling around to get it to empty and if you actually are picking up things that are wet
7:39
you might end up with a fairly tricky cleaning task of cleaning the bin
7:43
because it could end up being stuck on the sides. Again, that's probably true of any vacuum
7:48
But one thing I will say is the Dyson has a bigger bin
7:51
So if you don't like cleaning this thing and you don't want to deal with it on a frequent basis
7:56
that's something to take in consideration. But otherwise, there's a lot I really like about this
8:02
And this is something where I'm going to be giving it to my daughter, who has a nice little one bedroom apartment and she really doesn't want to deal
8:09
with one of those huge heavy vacuums. This is going to be a perfect alternative
8:13
and it's gonna work perfectly well for cleaning carpets and hardwood and with various attachments, cleaning her car
8:20
or getting around edges and crevices and such and having it be wireless and chargeable, super convenient
8:27
So big fan, definitely this is one worth checking out. Now, before we get to the price
8:32
let me ask if you can subscribe to my channel. Really appreciate when you do that. Excellent
8:37
Now, this is the Royd Me, F8 Storm vacuum cleaner and it is well it was 399 but on Amazon when I last checked
8:46
it was 29999 at Amazon.com that is not a bad price for something this powerful
8:54
this flexible and this well engineered so I would suggest that you check it out
8:59
and as I started in the beginning I will say again it sucks but it's it sucks in a
9:07
good way it sucks the way it's supposed to suck Have I overused that joke yet
9:12
Oh well. Regardless of that, I hope that I will see you in my next video
