Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about WORX WX030

  • Compact and highly portable cube design
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Convenient onboard storage for attachment tools
  • Flexible, extendable stretch hose improves maneuverability
  • Removable battery pack is interchangeable with other 20V Worx PowerShare tools
  • Features a two-speed suction adjustment
  • Sufficient suction for quick touch-ups and light car maintenance

What customers don't like about WORX WX030

  • Lacks deep-cleaning power for heavy dirt, sand, or thick carpets
  • Emptying is messy as hair and lint easily cling to the filter shroud
  • No option to attach a motorized turbo brush for pet hair
  • Standard nozzle has a small cleaning path, making large areas slow to clean
  • Battery and charger are expensive if purchased separately
  • The 32/35mm adapter does not fit into the onboard storage spaces

Verdict

The WORX WX030 CubeVac is a cordless portable vacuum cleaner featuring a 150W high-performance motor that generates up to 10 kPa of suction pressure and a maximum idle speed of 34,000 r/min. Operating on the 20V PowerShare battery system, this 1.4 kg (bare tool) unit offers a 0.2 L dust capacity, dual-speed control, a triple-layer washable HEPA filtration system, and an integrated 1-meter retractable extension hose. Key advantages include its lightweight cube-shaped design, onboard accessory storage for the included crevice tool and dusting brush, a convenient one-touch hygienic container emptying mechanism, and a runtime of up to 25 minutes on a 2.0Ah battery charge. However, its small 0.2-liter bin capacity requires frequent emptying, and critics note that its suction power is insufficient for deep cleaning heavy or stubborn embedded debris like sand from car carpets.
