Review of the Simplicity Jill Canister Vacuum

The Simplicity Jill Vacuum Cleaner comes from Simplicity’s line of sub-compact canister vacuums. This small, lightweight machine works well for tiny homes, RVs, dorm rooms, and any living space where storage is tight.

You can buy the Jill only through authorized retailers. It carries an MSRP of $189.95 and includes a 2-year residential warranty. (When used commercially, the warranty shifts to 90 days.)

Simplicity Jill Vacuum Cleaner Features

Filtration

The Jill uses a HEPA filter along with HEPA bags to improve your indoor air. HEPA filtration traps allergens and tiny particles that would otherwise recirculate through the room.

Color

Finding this vacuum in a packed closet won’t be difficult. The manufacturer calls the color “watermelon,” but it’s really a bold hot pink. The compact size may be modest, yet the color makes it impossible to overlook.

Onboard Tools and Accessories

Simplicity equips the Jill with several onboard tools to keep cleaning simple. You get a crevice tool, an upholstery brush, and a dusting brush. A hardwood-floor brush also comes with the vacuum, which fits its design as a cleaner primarily intended for hard-surface floors.

Other Useful Characteristics

Even though the Jill is tiny, the 9-amp motor delivers strong suction. A full-bag indicator adds convenience, since no one wants to take apart a vacuum just to see whether the bag needs changing. The 18.5-foot cord isn’t long, but this vacuum was designed for small spaces. The automatic cord rewind helps offset the shorter reach.

The aluminum telescopic wand also upgrades above-floor cleaning, giving you more reach without adding weight.

Simplicity Jill Vacuum Cleaner Recommendations

If you live in a small space and want a compact unit with surprising power, the Simplicity Jill makes a solid choice. One major benefit of any canister vacuum is that you pull the motor—which is usually the heaviest part—behind you instead of pushing it around.

Simplicity, an American company with roughly 50 years in business, backs its products with longer-than-average warranties, adding extra confidence to your purchase.
