There are two versions of the P5, the black one, which would be the most basic, and the blue one, which has a Samsung battery and includes a soft brush, specific for cleaning hard floors.

Start up

As usual, The vacuum cleaner comes partially charged, although a full charge is recommended before first use.. Charging time is about 4 hours.

The Amazon Basics P5 It has three LED lights, which indicate the charge level (low-medium-high). To charge it, it can be done directly by plugging the charger into the body of the vacuum cleaner, or you can also remove the battery to charge it.

This vacuum cleaner includes a wall bracket, to always have the vacuum cleaner located and at hand. It is recommended to install it at a height of about 90 centimeters, so that with the extension tube and nozzle in place, it also rests on the ground.

As in other similar models, Placing the various accessories is simple and very intuitive.

How the AmazonBasics P5 works

This vacuum cleaner has a design similar to other similar devices from the competition, with a trigger that must be activated for it to work. Besides, It has a selector to choose between hard floors (floor) and carpets (carpet).

As well It has two power levels. At the normal level, The suction capacity of the AmazonBasics cordless vacuum cleaner is more than enough to clean dirt on hard floors and low-pile carpets that are not very dirty.

At this power level, The autonomy is up to 25 minutes in the normal model - the black one - and up to 30 in the one that incorporates the Samsung battery 2.500 mAh.

This autonomy is not excessive, but It is enough to clean a medium-sized home, or a vehicle.

Keep in mind that Cleaning with a cordless vacuum cleaner is much faster and more efficient than with a corded vacuum cleaner., so we can finish in much less time.

When we need a higher power level, we can activate Max mode, in which the AmazonBasics P5 will deploy its 220 watts to capture accumulated dirt, or that is trapped in the hairs of thicker or longer pile carpets.

In this mode, as usually happens with battery-powered vacuum cleaners, the autonomy is significantly reduced., about 10 minutes. But, we insist, it is not a power level that must be used regularly, but only sporadically.

In addition to the possibility of choosing the type of floor we are vacuuming, as we indicated at the beginning, it is possible to purchase the AmazonBasics P5 “Plus” (the blue one), which also includes a soft plush brush, in the style of Fluffy's Dyson or the Jalisco of Conga RockStar.

This brush achieves superior efficiency when cleaning hard floors, capturing the dust and dirt that is on them without it escaping, even helping to detach it (if it is not very stuck), making it a very interesting option.

The price difference between the two models of the AmazonBasics P5 cordless vacuum cleaner is quite small, stands at 20 euros. This way, you decide if you opt for the more affordable price of the black model, or if you prefer to have some more features with the blue model.

The difference between the two is that the blue one has a Samsung battery, which has a higher capacity (2.500 mAh versus 2.000), so it has a little more autonomy. And on the other hand, that includes soft brush, especially for cleaning hard floors.

As is usual in this type of stick vacuum cleaners, It can be used as a handheld vacuum cleaner, and allows 360º cleaning, since we can clean not only floors, but also furniture and ceilings, easily and comfortably.

This is contributed to by its weight, which is not too high (2,38 kilograms) and the design of the device, which concentrates the weight on the handle., in addition to its power. This way, we can lift it and use it to clean high areas.

Its lightness and the design of its wheels also help to transport it easily across the ground., not being tiring at all. For its part, the extension tube provides a height similar to that of other competing models, allowing the vacuum cleaner to be handled comfortably.

Although it is a basic product with a very low price, the Amazon Basics P5 does not give up the inclusion of some details, like the LED lighting in the head.

LED lights allow us to see dirt better and comfortably clean dark areasFor example, under furniture or beds.

The P5 also has good flexibility, both laterally and vertically., so that it facilitates cleaning in more complicated areas, such as between the legs of chairs.

As for the filtering system, it is quite effective. This AmazonBasics cordless vacuum cleaner has multi-stage filtering technology.

In addition to the cyclonic system itself, which separates dirt particles from the air flow, it combines a high-efficiency filter with a foam filter, trapping microparticles of dust and mites inside the device, and achieving cleaner air.

Both the filter and the tank are washable, for greater comfort and hygiene.

AmazonBasics P5 Accessories

In addition to the multifunction brush and the soft brush (in the case of the blue P5), the P5 includes the most common accessories in this type of product and in this price range:

The P5 does not include a mini motorized upholstery brush, this is an option normally typical of higher priced models, such as the Conga RockStar 500 ErgoFlex or the Proscenic P10, for example, although in the end we tell you about a model with a super reasonable price that does include it.

However, What it does allow is to directly attach the accessories to the body of the vacuum cleaner., it is not necessary to use the extension tube if you do not want to.
