How should i sell my vacuum cleaners

Tumtitums

I have a eufy robot vacuum however i feel it is not very good at vacumming and it also requires a lot of input from me in terms of moving it when it gets stuck. It also seems to dry for over an hour and hearing the drying noise for so long is annoying

Where would i sell it and should i say im not happy with its performance in the description ?

I also have a normal vacuum cleaner that i haven't used for ages so i'm not sure how well it performs . Its very heavy . What should i say about its performance when selling it and where is best to advertise

I think different people have different interpretations of how good vacuum cleaners are at picking up dirt so my feeling regarding good suction may be different to others and i dont want people to complain and say that the performance of these cleaners isnt what they expected

The answer really depends on how easy you want the sale to be. Advertising on a local marketplace like Facebook marketplace or Next door means you can have the ease of getting cash on collection and buyer collects.

If you want to sell online then start by looking at ebay sold prices for an idea of price, but importantly work out how you are going to box and pack the items securely.

Be very very honest in description- even as a private seller your description must be accurate to avoid issues with returns. If you aren't sure how well something runs say that- point out age, don't oversell.

I had a Dyson which I sold as I thought it was performing badly even after cleaning filters and things- sold it for repairs and accepted £10 at the door for it. Yet the handheld one that died at about the same time I split up and sold all the tools and useable separately and ended up with about £22 after ebay fees.

As you say, everyone has different expectations so I wouldnt mention anything subjective at all. When selling on ebay I just Include details about age, condition, any faults and a link to the product on the manufacturer website.

So in the advert i shouldnt say anything about my opinion on how good the vacuum is at vacuuming ?

This is the other issue, The robot vacuum cost a few hundred pounds and the non robot one cost about £100. Im not sure i would be happy at selling them for £10 especially as someone else may think they both work perfectly well

I wouldnt bother. If you say good things they are lies, if you say bad things it is not going to sell (and may not be objectively true either)...

Just look at Argos reviews etc. Praises for the item being very light and then negatives for the exact same item
being too heavy. Opinions are your own and a buyer may disagree with them and return it at your cost. Returns
soon wipe away and funds you expected to make.

We purchased a vacuum and thought being 1800watts it should have been really good but it was less efficient
than the 1200watt one it was replacing.
