Glenn Beck's Common Sense: A Case Against an Out-of-Control Government is the perfect example of how a book should be written by a conservative nut job. I sometimes sit awake at night wondering what went wrong in his childhood that made him end up like this.  Perhaps he was dropped on his head, or maybe he just didn't have many friends.  In either case, it is apparent that Glenn Back should not be able to produce any publication or media to influence and scare the American......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This book hits the nail on the head!!! It is straight forward and in your face. If you want sugar coating go some where else. Glenn hits you with facts and blunt conclusions that are very much on target for this country.

Seriously, that much money for a vacuum, that things must do the work without you running it or at least it better if I was going to buy it.   So after, much debate, I went with the Eureka Smart Vac for pet lovers.  It was a fraction of the cost and I am quite happy with my vacuum.  The pet paw attachment is FANTASTIC!

It's just so heavy that it's difficult to manage the stairs.  It also needs to be kept in an 'open' position while struggling w/the stairs or else the beater brush doesn't engage and all you get is suction.  That's not satisfactory for carpeted stairs.  The extra atatchments break easily and are worthless.  It does a decent job on carpeting but on hardwood I needed to use the hose.  The hose split after 1yr and I had to duct ta......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I bought about 1 month ago and really love it.  I was concerned about the weight from the reviews, but it is not all that heavy.  What you would expect for a good vacuum.  I do not like that some of the attachments do not stay put and fall out of the holders all the time.  Excellent suction and very quiet.  Would buy it again if I needed one, but I'm hoping this will last for quite a long time.  Great Value!!&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I purchased this last week and received it a few days later.  Machine works well so far, but today noticed on the box that it is a remanufactured unit.  I could have purchsed a refurb for at least $40 cheaper than what Amazon charged me, and nowhere did it indicate that it was not a new product.

Before I knew it my wife had junked it and it was gone from our lives. &lt;br/&gt; This thing is heavy, loud, only fair suction and the worst belt I have even seen.

Although it was past the time to return..Amazon was kind enough to make it right and stand behind their merchandise.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;All that really did is make me want to continue to do business with Amazon. When you are buying things online, it always seems a little risky. I know Amazon will do the right thing and I will continue to do business ......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We had a spot lifter before, and after a few years of heavy use, the liquid container broke.  We went about a month without one, and felt like our floors were quickly being destroyed by our 3 and 1 year olds.  This machine will take out almost anything out of our carpets.  Juice, pop, strawberry milkshake that was sitting stained for almost 2 weeks.  This should be as standard of a household item as toilet paper.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is an updated model Spotlifter with longer battery life.  Works the same as the old model - just add solution and clean.  Can be stored with solution in the tank so it can be grabbed in a hurry.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The tank on our old unit finally cracked after four years and this unit was cheaper than replacing the tank.  We expect to get at least four years use from this one!  At $10 per year it is a bargain and much easier to use on small jobs than our full-size Bissell.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h2&gt; Images Product&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41T74Y2JD4L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41T74Y2JD4L.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41T74Y2JD4L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41T74Y2JD4L.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4132MH8A1DL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4132MH8A1DL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4132MH8A1DL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4132MH8A1DL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511G2SW0BPL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511G2SW0BPL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/413RWQTHPCL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/413RWQTHPCL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41K3PF09CSL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41K3PF09CSL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K5P5W5HEL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K5P5W5HEL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41EDGF4MWNL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41EDGF4MWNL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000AS9IIC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Views  More Images &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000AS9IIC"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Bissell 1719 SpotLifter 2X Portable Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-4049232369113293749?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4049232369113293749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=4049232369113293749&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4049232369113293749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4049232369113293749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2009/08/bissell-1719-spotlifter-2x-portable.html' title='Bissell 1719 SpotLifter 2X Portable Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-3567919733178515643</id><published>2009-08-01T22:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-01T22:43:26.569-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='buy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sweeper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='g2'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='swivel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='one'/><title type='text'>Swivel Sweeper G2 - Buy One Get One Free!!

Let me just say this is far and above the older model.  The rinse cycle is a MUST.  It makes the carpets so clean!  I was so thrilled with it!

But it did.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Puttin this unit together took all of 15 minutes after taking it out of the box.  Filling it up with soap and water couldn't be any easier.

There were juice stains and other stains that I don't even know what it was.  I could not get them out of the carpet by hand.  This machine removed the stains and made the carpet look like new again.

This cleaner has done a better job than professional cleaners I have had come in. Both my son &amp;amp; daughter plan on purchasing this cleaner.

Really picks up everything. Then I used it on my sofa which did not appear to be dirty but there was tons of cat hair it picked up. Same results for the comforter on my bed. I then used it near the litter box to pick up litter that had fallen around the box (I did not change the nozzle to the hard one, used the pink, flexible nozzle) and again, perfect results.

I now will not have to use up so many sticky roller sheets and this will save me a lot of time and MONEY.  I urge any cat or dog lover to purchase this little machine and you will not be dissappointed!! Even the price is unbelievable.

This little vacuum is AMAZING. Using the pink, rubbery attachment, I am able to very quickly remove hair from the furniture as well as on the spot on the bed comforter where they like to sleep.  With the other attachment, I was even more impressed with how well it removes hair from the stairs and in tight spots. Great power! It's extremely easy to empty as well.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;My only complaints are that......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I got this along with the versus and hate it.... the high power motor blows the dust away before you have a chance to vacuum it up...the catch needs to be cleaned out often and the pet hair attachment  does not work...don't recommend at all!!!&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is the first hand-held vacuum I've ever owned, and I have to say that it does what it's supposed to very well.  Cleaning hard to reach places and dusting blinds, for example, are a snap.  BUT:  the fan exhausts to the side, so unless you're very careful it can wind up blowing the dust and dirt already on your floor all around the room!  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If this were re-designed to exhaust out the back it would be just about perfect.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h2&gt; Images Product&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410YDlgrCiL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410YDlgrCiL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410YDlgrCiL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410YDlgrCiL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51p8cYf5FhL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51p8cYf5FhL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51dbRYgE6CL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51dbRYgE6CL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2BxH0h2NBL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2BxH0h2NBL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410YDlgrCiL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410YDlgrCiL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B001EYFQ28"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Views  More Images &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B001EYFQ28"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Bissell 33A1 Pet Hair Eraser Corded Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-8171858657478556767?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/8171858657478556767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=8171858657478556767&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/8171858657478556767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/8171858657478556767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2009/07/bissell-33a1-pet-hair-eraser-corded.html' title='Bissell 33A1 Pet Hair Eraser Corded Handheld Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-1443444052919313929</id><published>2009-07-17T16:01:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-17T16:01:32.536-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mc-1275'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='steam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='McCulloch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='duty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heavy'/><title type='text'>McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Cheap  McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0000DF0RB"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517KMdj-7TL.jpg" border="0"    &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0000DF0RB"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy  Low Price From Here Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Steam clean like a professional!

But so far as I know, nobody in the favorite reviews is telling you this isn't really cleaning with steam.  Sure, it was probably steam coming out of the boiler.  But once it makes it thru the generous hose and emerges, it is just really a warm mist.  I aimed it at a thermometer and the highest I could get it was about 140 degrees.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As for how it cleans, it does ok on some things, but then again I'm not sure its doing much more than......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h2&gt;

The filter is kind of fuzzy so it is a bit difficult to clean off, and it does fill up pretty fast.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Overall, I can recommend.

I have two cats who track litter all over my laminate floors, and it's so easy to sweep and then vacuum with the scorpion than it is to haul out my huge and awkward full-size vacuum.

I settled on Wagner after reading many reviews.  I opened the box, put it together, and in 30 minutes I cleaned two bathrooms (floors, tub, whirlpool, toilets, sinks, showers, countertops) and also the entire grimy kitchen floor.

(It made me think of a child's toy vacuum cleaner!) Anyway, it works well in terms of sucking things up, as long as the thing to be sucked up isn't huge, e.g. this vacuum won't work if you want to pick up a leaf or a penny. This vacuum makes it easy go under couches and small spaces. However, I am disappointed that I cannot vacuum the stairs, since it's advised that you don't use an extension cord with this vacuum.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We were searching for a small, lightweight but powerful little vacuum to take around the house to do quick dog and cat hair pickup as well as liter pickup and we found it!   This powerful little machine takes care of the hair from my 2 boys (dogs) and little girl (cat) easy and effectively.   Just be sure to empty the container a few times during pickup (at least I need to -LOL).  I especially like the handle for floor pickup and then how it can breakdown for stair pickup.

It only has 1.25 amps, so if you need a vacuum that does more. You should buy a vacuum with more amps and a bigger motor. Overall for $25 it is a good buy.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is ideal for quick pick ups, light weight.

I have tile throughout the house.  I think it works very well.  It is really good for the kids.  I just wish the cord was longer.

Our last one died after about 4 years and granted it was abused and not well maintained.  But a lot of that was due to not really being a user serviceable vacuum.  This Hoover came with a manual that gives complete descriptions on how to replace all the parts/belts!  That alone will make me more likely to attempt to replace the parts.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As for operation we've only had it a few days.  It is easy (logical) to use.  Suction is amazing.

This is far and away the best vacuum of its type I have ever used. First, the motorized brush was a great idea. It helps remove those often clingy things like hair that just don't want to leave their resting place. And I can't say enough about the suction; it has to be at least twice as powerful as the Black &amp;amp; Decker I owned before. And last, when not in use, the battery holds its charge for a ......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I liked the first one so well, I just bought another. The little brush head is an exellent feature. Instead of trying to keep up with the head and crevice tool, I put a small velcro on the side of the vac for the crevice tool. Works great. i highly recomend this product.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For its size, it's a very mighty little vacuum.  I've had others, but this one really seems to pick up, and the power brush is a bonus.  I've been careful with the charger and made certain to fully discharge it and then not overcharge the unit after reading some of the reviews on the batteries.  So far it's working just great!&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;have owned it for 3 weeks now.

It's working great.  It's powerful and is easy to store.  The only thing about emptying the filter is that you kind of have to get in there to pull out debris like hair that gets wrapped around.  Otherwise, great vacuum.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We were pleased with the vacuum until it stopped working only a year after we purchased it. After a search on replacement parts, I found that it would cost $80+ for a replacement battery/motor, assuming that I installed it myself. The unit saw low to moderate use--it was our primary device for cleaning a staircase. Now, it only cleans a single step or two before losing its charge. For a $60 product, I expect to have more than a year's use from it. I'd also hope that replacement parts wouldn't co......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This handheld is a great improvement over the 3 year-old Black and Decker that it replaces.

It's especially great for our shared computer office/work room because it's much easier to vacuum up around all of the tables, chairs, cabinets and various wires. You do have to empty it out quit often, but it's a minor inconvenience compared to how nice it is not to have to pull out a larger vacuum any more than once a week.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For all the design innovation here, this is just a "dustbuster" with a few quirks. Mostly good ones. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Pros: 18V! It's 30% more powerful than any previous B&amp;amp;D dustbuster. The canister filter is very large for a handheld vac, and it's protected from larger debris by both the cyclone design by a washable plastic filter cover.&lt;br/&gt;It has an extendable nozzle built in for reaching in between your car seats. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Con: The canister is not removable!!!!!

I live in an aparment with mostly hardwood floors so this is used for a loft area that measures about 9 X 6 feet... It's loud but it does the job!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So far I'm pleased with this unit. It seems to work well and does what it states. You have to clean the filter a lot, each time you use it - but it seems to clean well. I've not used it a lot but I'd purchase again...so far so good....&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a great little product. It works much better than any little dustbuster and the brush head really helps to pick up stuff. My cat hair on the couch and stairs dont stand a chance. The hose and tool are convenient. My only complaint is the storage of the cord is poorly engineered and easily slips off the unit when you are trying to store it and there is no way to unroll just what you need. Basically it is all or nothing, meaning if I want to use it I must unroll more cord than I care to ro......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h2&gt; Images Product&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P8K0DVPTL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P8K0DVPTL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P8K0DVPTL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P8K0DVPTL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5178M3QV8ML.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5178M3QV8ML.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41MJCYW67QL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41MJCYW67QL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006HUYGM"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Views  More Images &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006HUYGM"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-4083567048428610677?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4083567048428610677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=4083567048428610677&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4083567048428610677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4083567048428610677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2009/07/eureka-71b-hand-held-vacuum.html' title='Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6834664718271635771</id><published>2009-07-08T19:19:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-08T19:19:50.549-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bagless'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flair'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='upright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='s2220'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Cheap  Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00020BQGK"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31X2TTBCMZL.jpg" border="0"    &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00020BQGK"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy  Low Price From Here Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Lightweight, maneuverable, free standing stick vacuum with power nozzle.

It cleans my porcelain tile by using steam which then turns to water which you rub across the floor like any conventional mop. Although tap water may be used, I use distilled water to prolong the life of the filter as per the instruction booklet, and there are no other cleaning agents involved. I do not use it on my laminated floors as the instructions say it can only be used on sealed wood.

I like this mop for several reasons; it uses no chemicals, pads are easy to clean, and it is effortless to use.&lt;br/&gt;The only con is that the cord is not long enough, and that is easily solved using an extension cord.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This steam mop works like a charm.  And I agree with other reviews that said the only thing you need to be careful with is holding the steam button down too long because it wets the floor too much.  Once you get the hang of it that's not a problem. As usual, you can't beat products with the Good Housekeeping Seal.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cord is too short - constantly re-plugging.

I have a 900 s/f condo with 50% split of tile/carpet and it has been more than sufficient.  The suction is really good and the one touch dumping of the dirt is extremely nice. If there is one negative it is an extremely minor one in that the hand attachment which is attached to the top front of the unit comes off by itself with minor bumping.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For the price you get a good bang for your buck.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am a person who trust the user reviews and blindly buy the product if it has good reviews. But that turned wrong on this product. I wonder how people gave 5 star rating for this product. It doesn't solve the purpose at all. The motor is so weak. You can hear its struggle as you move it. And obviously the suction force is very feeble. The only pros is the auto-rewind feature, which is really good. I had an Eureka prior to this, which was very powerful with self-propulsion, and a knob to switch ......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The suction is quite powerful, handle very nicely, perfect for someone my size (5'2").  I wish the electrical cord was a bit longer.  I am very happy with my Hoover (the previous vacuum had been a Dyson).  It would've been nice if the vacuum had arrived sooner than the 13 days!&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I got this for a steal and it would be worth the full price.  It is very powerful and the bagless feature is easy to use.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Be careful if you purchase this product.  The price is decent, but you have to keep it moving or it could cause damage to flooring.  I luckily read about this issue from a reviewer who damaged the floor when letting the vacuum sit on unprotecting flooring while using the accessories.  I vacuumed new but inexpensive carpeting with it and the amount of carpet fibers in the container blew my mind.  Even at the highest setting.  It is pretty heavy, and if you leave it sit for more than 10-15 seconds......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h2&gt; Images Product&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41F53Y77ZEL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41F53Y77ZEL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41F53Y77ZEL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41F53Y77ZEL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZX1VT29TL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZX1VT29TL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KFS1HYBWL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KFS1HYBWL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FZDJ6K5AL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FZDJ6K5AL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/416P2WD1EXL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/416P2WD1EXL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Q04YAAB8L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Q04YAAB8L.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/419F6BRS16L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/419F6BRS16L.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RCJR9XFNL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RCJR9XFNL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H2TVGKP0L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H2TVGKP0L.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516XC10ARAL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516XC10ARAL.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31CG4V5FK9L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31CG4V5FK9L.jpg " width="200px" border="0"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FFQ554"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Views  More Images &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FFQ554"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Hoover 5507-900 Elite Auto-Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-7493172363275305788?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/7493172363275305788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=7493172363275305788&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/7493172363275305788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/7493172363275305788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2009/07/hoover-5507-900-elite-auto-rewind.html' title='Hoover 5507-900 Elite Auto-Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-4049810896531088411</id><published>2009-07-06T06:07:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-06T06:07:19.407-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='el5020a'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='upright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='intensity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Electrolux'/><title type='text'>Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Cheap  Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000N3YBNQ"&gt;

no tax) to $89, so back to Amazon I went.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I got mine in under 2 weeks for around $68, (it's $67 currently) and even though it's a bit heavy, it's performance more than makes up for the heavy weigh before you turn it on.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Once you turn it on, even in the high setting, the brush digs into the carpet so well that it almost feels like a self-propelled version that Hoover used to make a few decades ago.&lt;b......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a very good vacuum.  Loads of power and not that noisy.  It does tip over when the accessories are used.  But that is good because the brush always spins.    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The cord is a little short, but just put a heavy gauge extension cord on it, or rewire it with the long cord from your old vacuum.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You have to unscrew 4 screws to change the bag - be careful so as not to damage the plastic holes.  This is my biggest concern.  I will be looking to replace the screws with a quic......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For the price of this product I would say it is just, ok.  It vacuums just fine on carpet, not so good on floors.  Also i would say that the location of where to wrap the cord is a little weird. You have to go over the hoses.  and speaking of the hoses.  Everytime that I use the hose to vacuum up some corners it hurts to take it off.  but overall i would say it is worth the money.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Overall this seems to be a decent vacuum at a very good price.  The cord is considerably shorter than the one on the Eureka vacuum I had and that is a pain, but the vacuum seems powerful and works fine otherwise.  At this price, the vacuum is well worth purchasing despite the cord length and I would buy it again.&lt;br/&gt;......&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://auto.lifeforhealth.com/lp/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This vacuum is a hidden gem!  I researched in Consumer Reports and nearly passed this one by on Amazon.  I figured, wrongly, that it's low price meant low quality.  Thank you to all that took the time to review this product!  The suction is amazing, especially with the cleaning tools.  I easily vacuumed all the cat hair off my furniture - and I mean all.  The only thing that the vacuum is missing is for my personal preference = a longer attachment hose for the tools.

I am an agonizer-analyzer. I read all of the reviews out there on Amazon and the web that I can find. I was down to this... the Shark vs. Wagner steamers. Both seemed similar in reviews... I saved $5 bucks by purchasing the Wagner. I received it 1 day earlier then expected. I opened the box and dug in (yes, I am also a person that doesn't necessarily read the instructions... until I can't get something to work that is.) Guess what? EVERYTHING worked without reading the instructions. Note to the wise, it is probably best if you do. I have since gone back to ensure I was operating the machine safely and correctly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I LOVE IT! When people say in their reviews that they couldn't stop cleaning stuff, it is SOOOOOO true. These are the things I have cleaned so far. 3 kitchen sinks. I couldn't believe how clean they became. They are all stainless and shining like mad. I really do believe they are clean enough to eat out of them (not that I would). I have granite counters with this itty bitty grout between the sinks and the counters. I didn't realize they used white grout... oh my gosh, they look like they were just put in and they are 11 years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else? Yes, I didn't stop there. I went over to the stove. It is stainless steel with gas fixtures and iron grates. Do you know how many cleaners I have purchased for the black metal top that have never made it look like it was really totally clean? MANY, MANY, MANY. This machine did it! And I honestly have to say, I didn't put any real elbow grease in at all. It lifted stains that I thought were permanent. It also removed a burn mark in the stainless steel which had been there for at least 3 years (with a lot of scrubbing that didn't take it away). And, after using the machine, it was really only a matter of wiping a little water residue away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like the length of the handle/hose. I left it on top of one counter and was able to walk around the kitchen without worrying if the yellow beauty was going to fall off the counter or not reach where I wanted to take it. Gotta LOVE IT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, the above were only a few things that I cleaned in the first 15 minutes of opening the box. I probably could have cleaned more but I figured I would save my joy for another day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few other comments... I read a review that it was loud to operate. The machine itself doesn't make any noise. It isn't like a motor is going while you are trying to clean. The only noise that is made is the high-pressure steam coming out of the nozzle. What do these people really expect? Hello.... It was music to my ears because of the clean-up it was doing. I can imagine that you wouldn't want to be locked in a small closed in space for long... but hey, it didn't take that long to see it sparkle.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5895822650058067819?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5895822650058067819/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5895822650058067819&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5895822650058067819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5895822650058067819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2009/05/wagner-905-1500-watt-on-demand-power.html' title='Wagner 905 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-5229156122330223502</id><published>2009-05-15T19:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-15T19:24:33.628-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shark'/><title type='text'>Shark SV736K 15.6-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41GF0W71BZL._SL500_AA280_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41GF0W71BZL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) Powerful suction. Almost as good as my large vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;(2) Very good battery life, esp considering that the motorized brush uses some power. Holds its charge well even when left off the base for weeks.&lt;br /&gt;(3) The motorized brush is great for cleaning carpet and picking up pet hair from carpet and furniture.&lt;br /&gt;(4) Motorized brush pulls off easily when not needed and is equally easy to push back onto the vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) pet and people hair gets wrapped around brush and must be removed. Note that I have a long haired dog (Maltese) and a long haired person (me) to pick up after. If you let too much hair build up on the brush it will begin to wind up around the brush shaft, and you will have to take the brush assembly apart to remove it.&lt;br /&gt;(2) I'm not overly impressed with the filter design on this one. I much prefer the filters on the Black and Decker products. The filter on this one is more like the ones on those old car vacs. Whereas you can easily rap the Black and Decker filters on the side of the trashcan to loosen trapped dust and debris, it is difficult to get the small stuff off of this filter w/o using your fingers.&lt;br /&gt;(3) Although a minor complaint, this one is difficult and annoying to get into and out of its base. It needs to snap/lock into place. This usually takes two hands, especially to remove the vacuum from the base. (Note that I don't have the base attached to the wall at this time but just sitting on shelf. It might work better on the wall.) I prefer the Black &amp;amp; Decker base design where the vacuum sits on the charger the way cordless phones do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like this vacuum and use it often especially for carpets. I have owned it for about a year. I would recommend it to a friend. Except for the problem I have with long hair wrapping around the brush, I think this is an excellent and powerful, little vacuum.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5229156122330223502?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5229156122330223502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5229156122330223502&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5229156122330223502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5229156122330223502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2009/05/shark-sv736k-156-volt-cordless-handheld.html' title='Shark SV736K 15.6-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6290651165465068874</id><published>2009-03-13T19:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-13T19:35:11.988-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eureka'/><title type='text'>Eureka 331A2 ENVIRO STEAMER Reviews</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31jDYf2xalL._SL500_AA250_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31jDYf2xalL._SL500_AA250_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I LOVE my &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/eurika.vacuums-20"&gt;Enviro Steamer&lt;/a&gt;. I bought my first one 10 years ago. Last fall, it gave up the ghost because of a design issue that has been solved in the new incarnation. In fact, the three minor things I did not like about my earlier model are solved in the new model. Way to go &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/eurika.vacuums-20"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eureka&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made the mistake of trying a couple of other designs (Shark killed my back! and another one that was definitely made in China...both of the ones shipped to me never worked right). I was so happy when I went back to the internet and saw the Enviro Steamer was available again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told my husband I actually felt like dancing I was so happy to be steam mopping with my Enviro Steamer. I have about 800 sf of tile, I just fill and go, it covers the whole area. To move into another room, I simply unplug it, move, plug it back in and keep going. The weight is where it should be, on top of the pad. It cleans so well, for tougher stains just keep it steaming on that spot. In fact, it's cleaning the spots up that the others couldn't get! The pads are thick and easily tossed in the wash. The floor is clean, not wet which is great since I have two dogs. My white tile floor just sparkles and I know its clean because of the steam. I also like that fact that there are no chemicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just vacuum, then use the Enviro Steamer. You'll never buy any other type of mop again, EVER! I promise! This is the best product for steam cleaning floors at a great price. (I paid $100 ten years ago for this.)&lt;br /&gt;TRY IT, YOU'LL LOVE IT!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-6290651165465068874?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6290651165465068874/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=6290651165465068874&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6290651165465068874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6290651165465068874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2009/03/eureka-331a2-enviro-steamer-reviews.html' title='Eureka 331A2 ENVIRO STEAMER Reviews'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-4510269946614681239</id><published>2008-12-26T19:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-26T19:13:08.323-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SteamFast'/><title type='text'>SteamFast SF-407 Makes getting ready for work easy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31g-j2q4wFL._SL500_AA280_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 216px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31g-j2q4wFL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I wanted to share my experience with the purchase of a SteamFast SF-407. "I LOVE IT" this has been the BEST purchase I have ever made. I had procrastinated for years and regret not buying one earlier in my life. Between work, kids and their school, home etc., I do not have time to iron but I do it anyway and hate it. Hate it because of the white streak marks left on my work pants, sweaters and skirts. Once I received the box, opened it and assembled the steamer it took all of about 5 minutes. It was an easy set up, filled the steamer with water and a minute later it was ready to go steaming away! I ironed my clothes for today in a snap and they looked like they just came out of the drycleaners. I am sooo happy. You will not regret it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-4510269946614681239?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4510269946614681239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=4510269946614681239&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4510269946614681239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4510269946614681239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/12/steamfast-sf-407-makes-getting-ready.html' title='SteamFast SF-407 Makes getting ready for work easy'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-189640883444490781</id><published>2008-12-26T19:10:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-26T19:11:34.187-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Electrolux'/><title type='text'>Electrolux EL5020A  Good Things Come In Small Packages</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31v2Eom5rmL._SL500_AA280_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31v2Eom5rmL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This little vacuum packs in power and innovative design. From the first try, I was amazed at the suction. The first time through the house I quickly filled the bag and had to change it. The Intensity pulled up all the little carpet fuzz on the 3-year-old carpet that my old vacuum could never get. It has more power than any other vacuum I've used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The collapsing design is a nice feature. It folds up into a neat little package that fits easily on a closet floor without running into the coats. I love the controls on the top of the handle. You can go from bare floor to carpet with the touch of a button. The cord retracts nicely. The bag is easy to change, though a bit small, well, because the vacuum is small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I discovered a nice fail-safe feature when I tried to finish the room when the full bag light was on. The vacuum shut off. I waited a bit to let it cool down, changed the bag, and it started right up. So pay attention to that light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, the design is fantastic. A couple improvements though would make it even better. For it's small size, light weight and those big wheels, it doesn't corner all that easily. The front is nice and flat and has an edge for going under cabinets, but since the front is the same width as the back, you can't go straight under cabinets. You have to go at an angle and keep adjusting the position. So making the front part a little wider than the back would make going under cabinets a breeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, if it didn't have that big carrying handle on the top of the canister, it would vacuum right under the bed. The handle isn't positioned well anyway for doing stairs, because when you hold it by the handle to maneuver on stairs, it's too back heavy and tips back. A handle placed a little farther back on the canister would solve that problem - and it would vacuum under the bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no attachments with this vacuum, but I prefer that it do it's job on the floors and I use a cordless vacuum for furniture, edging and stairs anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please don't write this vacuum off as a secondary, light-duty vacuum. Even though it's small, it's a full-duty whole house vacuum with plenty of suction.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-189640883444490781?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/189640883444490781/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=189640883444490781&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/189640883444490781'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/189640883444490781'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/12/electrolux-el5020a-good-things-come-in.html' title='Electrolux EL5020A  Good Things Come In Small Packages'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-955619993454836224</id><published>2008-09-09T04:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T04:58:21.400-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iRobot'/><title type='text'>iRobot 1100 Dirt Dog Workshop Robot</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31K%2B1APpYrL._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31K%2B1APpYrL._SS500_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This thing cleans very well. All it does is brush the floor, but I have a great dane, miniature schnauzer, and cocker spaniel, so I need all the help I can get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My floor by the back door is tile, and I let this guy brush it daily to pick up the grass the dogs track in. It does this job wonderfully. I also use it to sweep up the kitchen and dining room tile, and it picks up whatever mess is there better than I can do sweeping. The biggest help this little guy provides is cleaning my extra bathroom. My roommate is asian, and she has long, thick black hair, and it gathers in the corners of the bathroom quick. This guy has no problem running through there and picking it up for me. It also does what it is supposed to do, clean the garage, very well. I have a couch in my garage and I was shocked at how much stuff was under it when this guy was through. It does its job VERY well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only problem I have is that it is loud. I mean, louder than my Dyson, and it doesn't even have a vacuum. Maybe mine is the exception, but I can't even turn it on while I'm trying to sleep. I just use it while I'm not watching tv or anything, or when I run to the store. But it's still something to think about.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-955619993454836224?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/955619993454836224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=955619993454836224&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/955619993454836224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/955619993454836224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/09/irobot-1100-dirt-dog-workshop-robot.html' title='iRobot 1100 Dirt Dog Workshop Robot'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6808814672485086590</id><published>2008-09-09T04:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T04:56:44.018-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dirt Devil'/><title type='text'>Dirt Devil 08220 Scorpion Quick Flip Vacuum</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411H6DG6B1L._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411H6DG6B1L._SS400_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This bagless (but not filter-less) vacuum is really powerful. But with that power comes loudness (like mini leaf-blower) and a burning smell. I don't know if it's the motor, but it runs great and the smell is more of an annoyance. I don't think it affects the lungs, but who knows?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, like any other company overly concerned with money, Dirt Devil tries to kill you with the excessive costs for filters. (Subscriptions, Maintenance, or in this case Consumable Parts is how companies like to bleed customers.) So the filter are ok and expensive to replace. Try to keep the filter clean after each use (pretty funky, but better than paying like $10+ for a stupid filter) by tapping it off and picking out things that get caught in the soft filter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This vacuum is good for sucking up general dust, dirt, hair, marble-sized objects, etc. (even poor little ants), but not for anything wet. The flip-put neck and detachable hose are great and helps for reach and getting around objects!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-6808814672485086590?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6808814672485086590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=6808814672485086590&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6808814672485086590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6808814672485086590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/09/dirt-devil-08220-scorpion-quick-flip.html' title='Dirt Devil 08220 Scorpion Quick Flip Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-5383840873589173078</id><published>2008-09-09T04:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T04:55:04.658-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dyson'/><title type='text'>Remanufactured Dyson DC07</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YC8WUiKNL._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YC8WUiKNL._SS500_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I'm not very vacuum saavy, I was in search of a basic machine to suck crap off the floor, lol. I bought a Bissell vac and while reading the manual, I realized it had lead in the cord! I had no idea that it was a common occurrence! I have a 6 month old daughter and the idea of lead just scared me to death. Add to that, the fact that the vacuum wouldn't pick up debris, it would just move it around. I quickly returned it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so very in love with my Dyson! There is a small crack in the handle, other than that, my machine is perfect! It's got great suction, with just one swipe over a littered area, it sucks everything right up! It's such a pleasant change!

However the price tag of $1500 has delayed that purchase. After some research on Amazon, this item was chosen based on 18 reviews with an average rating for 4 1/2 stars and price. I felt at $20 this item was, if nothing else, disposable. It is actually quite amazing for the price! I use microfiber cleaning cloths and have cleaned the bathroom sinks, tub, door knobs/ handles, microwave, counter top, smooth cooktop, shower stall and windows. This product excels at cleaning all mentioned items. I am really impressed how well this product cleans out crevices and grooves. Metal fixtures shine like crazy. My windows have never sparkled before. It even cleans out the grime in the window sills with less effort. The results are noticeably better ( than conventional scrubbing ) and the windows look practically new. My husband agreed the results are amazing for $20. I don't think that the steam is quite hot enough to thoroughly disinfect ( which is why I want a vapor steam cleaner ), but if you feel the need you can spray some sanitizer first. After getting an idea of how well the steam cleaning works, I am sold and plan to purchase a household steamer, hopefully within 6-12 months -- and that's if I'm patient! I think having this small unit will be great for daily touch ups and small jobs. After using this all weekend, I was so impressed I had to buy 3 more to " spread the joy" so to speak. The product seems well made; not flimsy at all. I've only used it for 4 days, so we'll have to see how well this holds up over time. I'm optimistic and really think I've already had my money's worth. If it turns out to be durable and reliable, even better. I highly recommend this product.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-2609051014720854?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/2609051014720854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=2609051014720854&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2609051014720854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2609051014720854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/09/electric-steam-cleaner.html' title='Electric Steam Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-5808528352117225272</id><published>2008-09-04T06:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-04T06:36:07.855-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Swiffer Sweeper'/><title type='text'>Swiffer Sweeper+Vac Starter Kit</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41xartw%2BgfL._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41xartw%2BgfL._SS500_.jpg" alt="Swiffer Sweeper+Vac Starter Kit" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;i have had my swiffer sweeper for over a year now with no problems. since the charge does not last long (i get maybe 10 to 15 minutes) in order to finish all my floors, i leave the swiffer turned off, flip up the sweeper head and move all the dirt into one place and then sweep up the dirt and go around the baseboards and do the same for the rest of the rooms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, why buy this when it would be cheaper to buy the plain swiffer sweeper, the one without the vacuum? let me just say every day dry kitchen spills; coffee grinds, the dog knocked over the garbage, the kids crushed oyster crackers all over the floor, no dust pan. by the way, this is really good for broken light bulbs and glass on the kitchen floor; when i used a regular broom there would still be glass slivers in the floor weeks later. it only takes a couple of minutes to clean up the above mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i might get that shamwow and cut it to fit my swiffer vacuum and wet jet, that would save some money since the shamwow can be tossed in the washer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i would have given this a five star if the charge lasted longer and&lt;br /&gt;they sold reusable cloths for this. if my swiffer breaks, i will get another one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5808528352117225272?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5808528352117225272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5808528352117225272&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5808528352117225272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5808528352117225272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/09/swiffer-sweepervac-starter-kit.html' title='Swiffer Sweeper+Vac Starter Kit'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-3891606245867115258</id><published>2008-09-04T06:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-04T06:34:41.486-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='McCulloch'/><title type='text'>McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41V7W3YTBSL._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41V7W3YTBSL._SS400_.jpg" alt="McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It has lots of little attachments and I thought it would be difficult to assemble but it was very easy and took just minutes. I mainly wanted to use this in the bathrooms but found all kinds of things that it is perfect for. First, the bathrooms. I started with the shower and found that it blasted away years of gunk in the grout that I never could get clean with chemical cleaners.I also used it on the glass shower door which was pretty effective. I think I like it the most for the toilet. You really feel like it is disinfecting and the porcelain just shines. My husband must do a little dance everytime he pees so needless to say I was impressed with how it gets all the little areas under the seat. The floors were next and with a quick change to the floor attachment I was in business. It was perfect. I also used it on my sealed hardwood floors and they look great.&lt;br /&gt;I agree with the other reviewers that the steam action is very loud so I just popped in my iPod earbuds and was all set. I have not found any negatives about the unit so far. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who is looking for that deep cleaning and sanitizing without using any chemicals. You don't get that nice fresh scent like you do if you use your Clorox but I sure feel better putting my butt down on that wonderfully disinfected toilet seat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-3891606245867115258?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/3891606245867115258/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=3891606245867115258&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3891606245867115258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3891606245867115258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/09/mcculloch-mc-1275-heavy-duty-steam.html' title='McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-2266795504186124111</id><published>2008-09-04T06:30:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-04T06:32:28.969-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bissell'/><title type='text'>Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21Lv7Z7iyyL._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 230px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21Lv7Z7iyyL._SS400_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I was looking at Swiffers when I read a review directing me to this product. I decided to check it out and even though it was more expensive, I figured it would be a better investment in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got this in the mail very quickly. I noticed the terror in my husband's eyes when the somewhat large box was waiting for us. I opened it up, saw that there were only two screws in the box and sent him off to watch tv. The assembly was super easy and fast (if I can do it, anyone can).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I put this to work on my kitchen floor. We have a large Doberman that manages to track in every bit of dirt she can find. She also makes a pond out of the floor area next to her food and water dishes. I ran this (only having to stop and really steam a few trouble spots) and the floor looks great. I was surprised at how well the steam removed dried on dirt and gunk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then pulled the cloth off and threw it in the dirty laundry basket. Simple and effective. I went a little bit slower than I would have with a Swiffer just because I wanted the steam to really work but I am not sure that made a huge difference. Overall, I am happy. I am going to do some reading on the filter life and perhaps order a few extra cloths but that's about it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-2266795504186124111?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/2266795504186124111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=2266795504186124111&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2266795504186124111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2266795504186124111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/09/bissell-1867-7-steam-mop-hard-floor.html' title='Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-5132418652382210437</id><published>2008-08-07T10:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T10:40:06.598-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Electrolux'/><title type='text'>Electrolux EL 7055B Twin Clean Bagless Canister Vacuum</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Z55NSCCML.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Z55NSCCML.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I love this vacuum cleaner! I have about as much hard wood floor in my house as I do carpet and it works great on both. I use all of the attachments; one for baseboards, one for the hard floors, and I love the suction control on the main vacuum attachment to use on throw rugs. Of course it also works great on both plush and berber carpet. It is not very loud and I love not having to buy bags. The self-cleaning filters and retractable cord are also great features. I have my house cleaned by housekeepers once a month and they said that they wish all of their clients owned a vacuum like this.

I was looking for a vacuum that wasn't heavy as we live in a multi level home with many stairs. Generally, this vacuum is everything I was looking for; it's light and easy to use -- although I was disappointed with how small the disposal bags are; the bag was so full and needed replacement before we finished using it a second time. (This may be due to the fact that this vacuum is very powerful and has great suction; my old vacuum probably hadn't properly cleaned the carpeting for sometime.)

The unit's wide path provides 20-percent more brushing and cleaning action, while its heated cleaning forces hot air from the motor directly into the carpet, making the solution and brushes work more efficiently. The cleaner's Dual V technology produces equal suction across the entire cleaning path and removes more water than any other brand. Patented SpinScrub rotating brushes gently loosen dirt and clean all sides of the carpet fiber, plus they pop out for rinsing clean as needed. Choose from three speeds for a variety of cleaning tasks--spill pick-up mode, gentle scrub mode, or power scrub mode. On-board tools include an 8-foot hose for long reach, a removable tool caddy for easy storage, and a SpinScrub powered handheld tool for upholstery and stairs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-9166511553249713017?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/9166511553249713017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=9166511553249713017&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/9166511553249713017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/9166511553249713017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/07/hoover-f7412-900-steamvac-dual-v.html' title='Hoover F7412-900 SteamVac Dual V Widepath Carpet Cleaner with Powered Handheld Tool, Black'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-3552670451180189364</id><published>2008-07-26T19:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-26T19:34:22.963-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shark'/><title type='text'>Shark EP187 Retractor Clean Air Cyclonic Power Vac</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410FAH2RPDL._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410FAH2RPDL._SS400_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I've used this vacuum for two years and it is efficient. It does get hot (even when new) when the filter needs cleaning, which is often. Fine dirt accumulates in the HEPA filter and can't be removed by tapping so rinsing is necessary, with a 24-hr. drying time before reuse. Filters are available only from the manufacturer, so I called to order some and learned they are very expensive. I declined to purchase, and the customer service rep. was persistent. Only at the end of the conversation did she announce they were offering a special promotion of double quantity for the same price. That made me angry so I bought none.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-3552670451180189364?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/3552670451180189364/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=3552670451180189364&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3552670451180189364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3552670451180189364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/07/shark-ep187-retractor-clean-air.html' title='Shark EP187 Retractor Clean Air Cyclonic Power Vac'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-4524722370817414100</id><published>2008-07-26T19:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-26T19:32:48.364-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Upright Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dyson'/><title type='text'>Remanufactured Dyson DC14 Full-Kit Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31DJ8J96YVL._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31DJ8J96YVL._SS500_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I LOVE this vacuum.

How do you vacuum so you don't walk over the already vacuumed part?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Plug in cord close to starting point&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Most vacuums are designed to clean best on the backstroke (when moving towards you)so it is best to move slower when pulling the vacuum backwards and faster moving forwards.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Move the vacuum straight forward about 4-7 ft and then slowly retrace your path back to the original starting point.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Before starting the second stroke, angle the vacuum a couple inches to the right to create a second path about 4-7ft long parallel to the first.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Work your way across the room until you reach the opposite wall. Then step backwards 4-7 feet so your new path finishes where your previous path started.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Remember to try and always setup your paths so you are standing on the un-vacuumed section, so as not to create footprints on the pattern created by the vacuum.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Move farther back and back so by the end your at the door.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If the carpet is heavily soiled or a high traffic area, repeat the process working at a 90 degree angle. Or if you originally worked east to west, now work north to south.

My vacuum cleaner does a great job on carpets and floors in general; but the narrow spaces close to where the floor meets the wall always seem to need a little extra attention. Wow, does this do an excellent job!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's lightweight and very easy to carry. It comes with an electric charger; you'll need to charge the machine for 16 hours before you use it for the first time. After that, you're set to go! You only need to recharge it from time to time, not every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This handheld vacuum will do its best in narrow cracks and crevices; and of course you can use it to clean your car interior and other surfaces, too. I would keep it away at all times from wet surfaces&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The filter and the barrel in which the filter is housed are both very easy to clean. If you clean it every so often the job is never time consuming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also like that this comes with an even smaller extension so that you get reach into the narrowest of crevices to clean them. The HEPA filter traps over 99% of dust particles so they can't come out the exhaust of the machine just seconds after you vacuumed them up--very good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a few minor complaints. If you use this in the corners where the wall meets the floor, you will have to bend over or lean down somewhat to reach those harder to clean crevices. In addition, I do agree with reviewers who note that it's built in such a way that you DO have to operate a flimsy button to merely open the extended nozzle and allow it pivot to get into those very hard to reach areas. The plastic base for storing and charging could have been better constructed, too. I guess I have to take off one star for these issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, I still recommend this "Pivoting-Nose Cordless Handheld Vacuum" by Black &amp;amp; Decker. It's a great little gadget.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-8181962527083759740?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/8181962527083759740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=8181962527083759740&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/8181962527083759740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/8181962527083759740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/06/black-decker-18-volt-pivoting-nose.html' title='Black &amp; Decker 18-Volt Pivoting-Nose Cordless Handheld Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-5792862472999891457</id><published>2008-06-04T18:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T18:19:03.663-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dyson'/><title type='text'>Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ioMs1GGfL._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ioMs1GGfL._SS500_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been using the vacuum for a few weeks now and we are impressed with how good our carpets look. It brought the heavy traffic areas back to life and I no longer think we need to replace the carpet. However, be warned that this is a heavy vacuum. Much heavier than I thought it would be. We have three stories total in our home which means a lot of stairs and using this vacuum on them is a workout. I also agree with another review that the hose is stiff and hard to stretch. Also, the dirt/hair gets clogged in the filter long before the dirt bin has reached its capacity. I dislike having to reach up to unclog it. Overall it is a good product with a lot of power and we have been impressed with the remanufactured version. We were looking at the new ones and we are glad we saved money by going with this option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5792862472999891457?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5792862472999891457/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5792862472999891457&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5792862472999891457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5792862472999891457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/06/remanufactured-dyson-dc17-animal.html' title='Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6485801152817653197</id><published>2008-06-04T18:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T18:18:11.502-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bissell'/><title type='text'>Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31zxMY-PU7L._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31zxMY-PU7L._SS400_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a huge tile floor and generally clean it with a roller mop. My floor always remains dirty, right after cleaning even if I change the water 3 times!&lt;br /&gt;This steam mop has saved my life! It dissolves the sticky messes left by my kids. It isn't a hassle to just get it out and spot clean after sweeping, which is wonderful!! I can also just go into the bathroom at the same time and disinfect around the toilet....Wonderful! It is simple, easy on the back, quick and very effective. It also gets under my cupboards effectively. The swivel head is really great.&lt;br /&gt;This all being said, if I got down on hands and knees, my floor would be cleaner. But, I NEVER do this and don't have the time or energy. This steam mop is way better than an ordinary mop, hassle free, quiet, chemical free and kid friendly.&lt;br /&gt;I'm so happy.

I'm glad I waited and got this particular model. I bought it April 7, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;This is a great investment. The product works great! I tried it yesterday and my floors which I hadn't mopped in a month looked FANTASTIC. I love that I am not hurting my back anymore trying to mop all the floors. It took half the time to do as a bucket and mop and way less water! When I do my floors, I usually end up using about 4 buckets. With this machine I didn't even use enough water to fill 1 bucket!! And my floors were so clean! This is a great way to conserve water! Also, I didn't have to wait for them to dry like you would with a mop! I loved that! Also the handle folds down for storage!&lt;br /&gt;Today I accidently spilled a glass of water on the floor and this machine made for a speedy clean up! Less than 2 minutes! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With its 15-inch-wide cleaning path, this revolutionary all-in-one cleaner can be used to not only vacuum dry debris, but also wet-clean and squeegee-dry most hard-floor surfaces including ceramic tile, sealed hardwood, marble, vinyl, and laminate. Quickly switch between cleaning options--vacuum, wash, or dry--using the EZ Select dial. Exclusive SpinScrub brushes gently and safely wet-scrub and buff hard floors, plus they pop out for rinsing clean. The SpinScrub brushes can be interchanged with the grout brushes that come with specially designed bristles for cleaning tile grout on large surfaces. In addition, the cleaner's fingertip trigger control allows for choosing where, when, and how much cleaning solution to apply. Separate solution and recovery tanks ensure dirty water never gets put back onto the floor, and both 1/4-gallon-capacity tanks remove for convenient filling or emptying. Other highlights include a 27-foot power cord, brushroll shutoff, a bagless design, and a fold-down handle for storing. An 8-ounce grout cleaner and an 8-ounce floor-to-floor cleaner come included. The vac-wash-dry cleaning system measures approximately 20 by 15-1/2 by 45 inches and carries a one-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.floormate.spinscrub-20"&gt;Hoover Floormate Spinscrub , Hoover Floormate Spinscrub 800 , Hoover Floormate Spinscrub 500 , Hoover Floor Mate Spinscrub&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5351313602725201895?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5351313602725201895/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5351313602725201895&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5351313602725201895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5351313602725201895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/04/hoover-h3045-floormate-spinscrub-wide.html' title='Hoover H3045 FloorMate SpinScrub Wide-Path Hard-Floor Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-1116957842132756578</id><published>2008-04-25T20:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T20:06:31.819-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover H2850 FloorMate PowerBrush 300 Hard-Floor Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31H9SXQ74FL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 357px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31H9SXQ74FL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.floormate.spinscrub-20/detail/B000CC91D8/104-2362884-3992747"&gt;Hoover H2850 FloorMate PowerBrush 300 Hard-Floor Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Couldn't beat the price of this floor cleaner. It works very well on my tile and hardwood floors. So much cleaner than using a mop, especially with 2 dogs in the house. My only hangup is that I have to empty the tank quite a few times when cleaning my fairly small kitchen &amp;amp; bathroom. I think if I had sprung for one of the more expensive versions from Hoover they may have a bigger tank capacity. On the plus side, the tank emptying process is simple. Would definitly recommend this cleaner!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With its 13-inch cleaning path and dual motor system, this all-in-one bagless hard-floor cleaner can be used to vacuum dry debris, as well as wet-clean and squeegee-dry most non-carpeted hard-floor surfaces. Its direct-drive system allows the motor to power the brushes without a belt, and the unit can be quickly changed from wet to dry mode using the foot-pedal switch. The front-mounted floor-drying squeegee removes cleaning solution and spills, leaving floors squeegee dry on the first pass. In addition, the unit's dual-tank design separates the translucent solution tank (with built-in measuring cup) from the easy-to-empty recovery tank to ensure dirty water never gets put back onto the floor. Other highlights include an ergonomically engineered handle with a convenient solution trigger for extra comfort and control while cleaning, soft non-marring wheels, a 24-foot power cord, and a lightweight design for easy using, moving, and storing. The brush assembly and nozzle squeegee easily remove for quick-rinse cleaning. The hard-floor cleaner measures 15 by 12 by 31 inches and carries a one-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.floormate.spinscrub-20"&gt;Hoover Floormate Spinscrub , Hoover Floormate Spinscrub 800 , Hoover Floormate Spinscrub 500 , Hoover Floor Mate Spinscrub&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-1116957842132756578?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/1116957842132756578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=1116957842132756578&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1116957842132756578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1116957842132756578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/04/hoover-h2850-floormate-powerbrush-300.html' title='Hoover H2850 FloorMate PowerBrush 300 Hard-Floor Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-2053906980871066803</id><published>2008-04-25T20:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T20:03:19.615-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Upright Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31MZKG5XR5L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 415px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31MZKG5XR5L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="relative"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.windtunnel.vacuum-20/detail/B0007XOTUC/104-2362884-3992747"&gt; Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had many different vacuums including a very expensive Oreck which I did not care for at all. This one, by far, is the best one I have ever had. It does a wonderful job of edge cleaning, not to mention overall suction is tops. The best part is how easy it is to push and pull. In fact, it sometimes gets away from me on the pull back and I have run over my own toes. How ridiculous is that! I have a one story home so I don't have to lift it, otherwise that would be the one dislike I would have about this vacuum. It is quite heavy. That is one reason why it is so surpisingly easy to push. The only improvement that could be made to this vacuum that would make life easier for me would be to have a recessible cord. I would highly recommend this vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor, this self-propelled bagged upright vacuum cleaner delivers exceptional performance and virtually effortless cleaning in both forward and reverse modes. The unit's 15-inch-wide cleaning path helps get the job done quickly, while its patented WindTunnel technology provides a powerful dual air stream for enhanced dirt pickup and removal. In addition, dual edge groomers loosen and remove dust, dirt, and lint that collect along baseboards, and the variable height settings and on/off brush-roll control allow for switching from bare floors to carpets with ease. When the handle returns to its upright, locked position, the brush roll automatically shuts off and the unit directs all its power to tool suction. On-board tools include a crevice tool, an upholstery nozzle, a dusting brush, and two extension wands. Its deluxe stretch hose extends up to 11-feet when using both wands and the crevice tool. Even more, its on-board powered hand tool works great for vacuuming upholstered furniture, carpeted stairs, and hard-to-reach places. The unit also comes with allergen filtration that captures 100-percent of dust mites and 99.98-percent of ragweed and common grass pollens. Other highlights include a textured handle grip, fingertip "on/off" control, a full-width headlight to illuminate dark corners, a non-marking furniture guard, a check-bag indicator, a 31-foot power cord with quick-cord release, and a carrying handle for easy transport. The &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.windtunnel.vacuum-20/detail/B0007XOTUC/104-2362884-3992747"&gt;vacuum cleaner&lt;/a&gt; measures 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a two-year parts-and-labor warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.windtunnel.vacuum-20/detail/B0007XOTUC/104-2362884-3992747"&gt;Hoover Windtunnel Vacuum , Bagless Upright Vacuum , Supreme Vacuum , Canister Vacuum , Hoover Windtunnel Vacuum Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-2053906980871066803?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/2053906980871066803/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=2053906980871066803&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2053906980871066803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2053906980871066803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/04/hoover-u6436-900-turbopower-self.html' title='Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-1067303467228490668</id><published>2008-04-25T19:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T19:59:51.158-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover S3639 WindTunnel Canister Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41SEBMTTZ1L.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 253px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41SEBMTTZ1L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.windtunnel.vacuum-20/detail/B00004U9TI/104-2362884-3992747"&gt;Hoover S3639 WindTunnel Canister Vacuum Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;WOW. This Vacuum has some serious sucking power. After going through about 3 or 4 upright vacuums (some bagged, some bagless) that were slightly less expensive than this unit but absolutely useless (most didn't pick up much, one died, another would get too hot and stop running after 5 minutes) I decided to get a Hoover. I remember growing up we always had a Hoover canister that worked fnatastically and seemed to live forever! So, I spent a little more money and got this guy. I have to say, it's definitely a lot sexier looking that the off-white unit we had when I was younger, and overall I have noticed a decreease in build-quality, but the final result is just as good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="relative"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had this bad boy for about 2 months now, so I can't comment on the longeviety of the product, like some reviewers on here have, and only time will tell if it can stand up to the rigors of cleaning my apartment's carpets and hard floors, so we shall see. But, in the meantime, let me offer some pro's and con's about this machine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Incredible sucking power! When you turn it on, it wants to practically run away from you and run across the carpet. What a suprising, welcome feeling that was when I first turned it on after using crappy uprights for so long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* This machine will pick up just about anything. Some of my carpet is a very thin pile, and hair just sticks to it - human, cat etc. I haven't had a vacuum yet that could pick it up, but this machine sucks it up with ease. Incredible! I can actually lay down on my carpet again and not get disgusted - they're clean!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The headlight is very useful for going under couches, tables etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* It's very useful to be able to turn off the carpet roller for bare floors, like the kitchen, by just flicking a button on the handle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Comes with a lot of useful tools that are high quality ABS plastic and are all stored neatly in the back compartment of the body. Very nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Very easy to change the bags (which last for quite a long time with my moderate use) and this unit was very easy to set up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The cord recoil feature is very usefu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Overall the build quality does feel a little cheap in *some* areas: the way the handle/pipes fit together used to be with metal pressure pins on the older models, now they are just plastic clips that feel flimsy, but so far so good. Also, the body looks a lot cooler in terms of design than some older models of Hoover but it also feels a bit more cheaply made&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The power button is on the base and is easily confused for the coil recall button. It would have been easy to just paint it a different color. However, I like having it on the base, I can just tap it on or off with my foot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Sometimes you have to play with the cord recoiler a bit to get it to take up the cord properly, but it's a minor issue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall a great buy! I am very happy with how this product performs and I'd definitely buy Hoover again. However it is made in the USA and I expect a highly quality build with better parts, perhaps, in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/hoover.windtunnel.vacuum-20"&gt;Hoover Windtunnel Vacuum , Bagless Upright Vacuum , Supreme Vacuum , Canister Vacuum , Hoover Windtunnel Vacuum Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-1067303467228490668?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/1067303467228490668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=1067303467228490668&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1067303467228490668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1067303467228490668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/04/hoover-s3639-windtunnel-canister-vacuum.html' title='Hoover S3639 WindTunnel Canister Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-8409799953234580620</id><published>2008-02-15T06:14:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-15T06:17:28.732-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dirt Devil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Upright Vacuum'/><title type='text'>Dirt Devil 091020V Vibe Bagged Upright</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FE98K4/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Vi-NtXkZL.jpg" alt="Dirt Devil 091020V Vibe Bagged Upright" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FE98K4/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;Dirt Devil 091020V Vibe Bagged Upright&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, love, love &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FE98K4/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;this vacuum&lt;/a&gt;. I was in a situation of needing an in-between, yet dependable vacuum --- my current house has lots of carpet, but I'll be moving into a new house in a couple of months, and it has very little carpet. I needed a new vacuum NOW, but I wanted one that would fit the bill for both house needs and still not cost an arm and a leg. I've had 2 bagless - hated the nasty dirt every time they had to be emptied - and they always lost suction, even the more expensive models. So, I was in the market this time for a bagged vacuum. After reading the reviews on this one, I decided that for the price and free shipping, it was definitely worth a shot. SO GLAD I PURCHASED &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FE98K4/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;THIS VACUUM&lt;/a&gt;. It has great suction and picks up way more on my carpet than my bagless vacuums did. It even does great on hard floors, which I don't even think it's technically advertised to do (I had just read some other reviewers saying it did great on their hard floors, so I had hoped I'd find the same); it doesn't throw the debris around like most vacuums with roller brushes. I love the position of the carry handle - I can carry it up and down the stairs while simultaneously toting my 21 pound son in the other arm. It's also weighted well enough and light enough that I can vacuum the whole house while holding my son when needed. Also, the tools are well placed and easy to use. I've had vacuums where the tools constantly fell off or where the whole vacuum tipped over whenever you were using the hose - not so in either case with this vacuum. All in all an excellent buy. This is the happiest I've been with a vacuum since I started buying my own 10 years ago, and I think it's an excellent value for the money spent! Would buy again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * Powerful 12 amp Motor with MotorGuard gives you all the power you will need to clean your carpets effectively.&lt;br /&gt;   * Tools on Board with the automatic Hose tools extends your reach for effortless cleaning in the hard to reach areas.&lt;br /&gt;   * The center power path delivers the superior suction needed for all you cleaning needs both on the floor as well as above the floor cleaning.&lt;br /&gt;   * Long 32 foot cord allows you a much larger cleaning reach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags : &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Dirt+Devil" title="Dirt Devil"&gt;Dirt Devil&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/091020V+Vibe" title="091020V Vibe"&gt;091020V Vibe&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Bagged" title="Bagged"&gt;Bagged&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Upright" title="Upright"&gt;Upright&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/vacuum" title="vacuum"&gt;vacuum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-8409799953234580620?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/8409799953234580620/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=8409799953234580620&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/8409799953234580620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/8409799953234580620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/02/dirt-devil-091020v-vibe-bagged-upright.html' title='Dirt Devil 091020V Vibe Bagged Upright'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-3753368573651826950</id><published>2008-02-15T06:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-15T06:13:00.852-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Electrolux'/><title type='text'>Electrolux EL6985B Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister Vacuum</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0000SWABO/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BVVW2V34L.jpg" alt="Electrolux EL6985B Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister Vacuum" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;E&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0000SWABO/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;lectrolux EL6985B Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister Vacuum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. this vacuum is quiet. Doesn't scare our pets and others can still watch TV while its on.&lt;br /&gt;2. Light weight, easy to carry.&lt;br /&gt;3. Comes with the hepa filter but not the washable one. Easy enough to purchase that separately or if you hate washing an old filter, keep buying the replaceable ones just as you would with the bags.&lt;br /&gt;4. I'm GLAD that its not one of those non bag vacuums. No issues with dust flying in your face when you change bags. Bagless stinks..its messy, dusty and another thing to have to clean. Thank goodness this vacuum uses bags.&lt;br /&gt;5. Great retractable cord.&lt;br /&gt;6. If you have mostly plush carpets, GET AN UPRIGHT vacuum. That's what they are specifically designed for. Canisters are for FLOORS.&lt;br /&gt;7. Have flat carpet like Berber? This vacuum is fine. You can use the motorless beater bar that is provided and it works great.&lt;br /&gt;8. Attachments are easy to get to from the handle.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0000SWABO/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;The Electrolux Harmony&lt;/a&gt; is one of the world's quietest vacuums. Soft wheels, a powerful, sound-insulated motor and a low-noise floor nozzle are all part of Harmony's innovative, quiet design. Harmony prevents noisy-air escape and keeps dirt from drifting back into the air. In addition, Harmony comes with the &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0000SWABO/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;Electrolux&lt;/a&gt; O2 filtration system that contains a lifetime washable HEPA H12 filter that captures over 99% of dust and airborne allergens. The convenient dust bag indicator tells you when the bag is full so you can replace it and keep dirt flowing into the vacuum and away from your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Harmony, you receive powerful cleaning in a lightweight, innovative design. Harmony has two different, soft-touch, ergonomic carrying handles that allow for a more comfortable feel. In addition, its lightweight design makes maneuvering this canister, while carrying the vacuum or while the cleaner is in use, nearly effortless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmony cleans hard floors and area rugs, as well as furniture and drapes without difficulty. A foot-operated, height-adjustment switch and variable motor speed control allow it to glide between different surfaces with little effort. You can easily reach those hard to clean areas with the tools that are conveniently stored on the handle and the telescoping wand that extends quickly to reach the high places. Specifically designed for superior hard surface and rug cleaning, the Harmony includes a state-of-the-art floor tool and turbo nozzle for spot-cleaning pet hair and for cleaning stairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0000SWABO/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;Harmony&lt;/a&gt; eliminates the storage hassle that occurs with many other vacuums. Harmony's compact design allows for storage in small spaces and its on-board wand can be easily stored on the back of the vacuum. This unique wand-parking device minimizes the overall size of the vacuum and eliminates difficulties with hose and wand storage that you have with standard canister vacuums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Features:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The ultimate in quiet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the ultra quiet Harmony, you can virtually eliminate the noise of vacuuming and still keep the power you need to maintain a clean and healthy home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Efficient floor nozzle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The foot-operated switch on Harmony's floor nozzle was designed to allow you to clean from hard floors to carpet with ease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ergonomic handle design&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soft touch, ergonomic handles are designed with physical comfort in mind to reduce bending and make transporting your Harmony vacuum easier&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Electronic dust bag indicator&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmony's electronic dust bag indicator makes it easy to know when it is time to replace the filter bag. Regularly changing the dust bag, keeps the dirt in the bag and out of the air in your home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HEPA H12 filter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can clean less frequently and still enjoy clean air with Harmony's washable HEPA H12 filter that captures over 99% of dust and airborne allergens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Effortless storage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The innovative design of Harmony's new, on-board wand parking feature helps you save storage space by neatly anchoring the vacuum wand to the back of the cleaner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Soft, large wheels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmony has soft-coated, large wheels that protect your floors, reduce noise, and allow you to maneuver the cleaner easily through the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Telescoping wand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmony has an easy-to-use, one-grip wand that is designed to allow you to clean hard-to-reach areas with more ease and comfort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Specifications:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Container: bagged&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Dust capacity (Quart): 2.0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Hose: standard, 360 swivel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Power (W): 1100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Filtration: HEPA H12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Product weight (lbs): 12.0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Tools: combo, crevice, caddy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   * Dimensions(W x H x D): 12" x 18" x 9.5"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-3753368573651826950?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/3753368573651826950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=3753368573651826950&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3753368573651826950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3753368573651826950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/02/electrolux-el6985b-harmony-ultra-quiet.html' title='Electrolux EL6985B Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-4511086146675419920</id><published>2008-02-15T06:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-15T06:06:50.703-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover H3060 FloorMate SpinScrub 800 Hard-Floor Cleaner with Portable Detail Kit</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0007MS5B2/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 118px; height: 321px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/311422XQ98L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0007MS5B2/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoover H3060 FloorMate SpinScrub 800 Hard-Floor Cleaner with Portable Detail Kit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0007MS5B2/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;The Hoover Floormate 800&lt;/a&gt; washes and dries my ceramic tile floor better than anything I have tried. The dry vacuum feature is not very powerful compared to my Miele and Hoover Flair, so I don't use it to dry vacuum at all. However, the wet cleaning is very effective and worth the purchase. Because t&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0007MS5B2/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;he Floormate&lt;/a&gt; applies only clean water to the floor which it then suctions up into a separate tank, it is more sanitary than a mop and bucket. The floor also dries quicker because less water is left on the floor. Only my canister steamer leaves the floor drier than the Floormate, but my steamer doesn't clean as well because there are no spinning brushes and it doesn't suck up the dirty water like the Floormate does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The spinning brushes are gentle on the tile, so if there is a sticky spot on the floor, I have to leave the brushes spinning on that spot for several seconds before they thoroughly get it up. There have been a few occasions where I had to use my fingernail on a piece of gummy candy that adhered to the floor (kids), but I would have to do that with any method of washing the floor. The brushes are on a spring system as a whole, but they do not get into the grout which is at a lower level than my tiles. Yet, because the solution sprays out and is then sucked up, the grout is getting cleaner than when I use a mop. The grout also dries faster so I know the vacuum has good wet suction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When washing the floor, it is helpful to first go back and forth over, say, a 5 foot section with the sprayer and brushes on, then use the suction only setting to go back over that section to dry the floor better. This is not necessary, though, if you don't mind leaving the floor only about as wet as a sponge mop would leave it. A nice feature is that you control with a button when the solution is being applied so you don't waste the cleaning solution or get your floor too wet. I don't think the Floormate takes any more time than a mop and bucket because there is no wringing and redipping of the mop which saves time. You will have to refill the clean water/solution tank and empty out the dirty tank several times if you have a large or especially dirty floor, but this is very easy because the tanks are not very large. I just remove the tanks and carry them both to the sink. It still amazes me how dirty the water is compared to when I used a mop and bucket. The Floormate requires less effort than using a mop because it is easy to maneuver and instead of using your arms and back to scrub a stain, just let the Floormate sit on that spot and scrub for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0007MS5B2/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;The Floormate &lt;/a&gt;is somewhat heavy if you have to carry it up or down stairs. It is also loud. Cleaning it after you are finished is simple. Just rinse out the tanks and let them air dry. If you don't dry vacuum your floor well enough before cleaning, you will have to remove the brushes and suction head to clean the lint, hair and debris out. This requires more effort, but keeps the suction at its peak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would give this cleaner 5 stars if it had tiny little spinning brushes for just the grout lines that worked the same way as it does for the rest of the floor. It does come with an attachment for grout, but it is no more effective than scrubbing on hands and knees with a stiff toothbrush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags : &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Hoover+H3060" title="Hoover H3060"&gt;Hoover H3060&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/FloorMate" title="FloorMate"&gt;FloorMate&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/SpinScrub+800" title="SpinScrub 800"&gt;SpinScrub 800&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Portable+Detail+Kit" title="Portable Detail Kit"&gt;Portable Detail Kit&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/vacuum" title="vacuum"&gt;vacuum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-4511086146675419920?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4511086146675419920/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=4511086146675419920&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4511086146675419920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4511086146675419920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/02/hoover-h3060-floormate-spinscrub-800.html' title='Hoover H3060 FloorMate SpinScrub 800 Hard-Floor Cleaner with Portable Detail Kit'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-3756517838349352935</id><published>2008-02-09T19:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-09T19:10:43.976-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Remanufactured Hoover U64019RM WindTunnel Self-Propelled Bagged Upright, Color May Vary</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0001Z8FHE/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 465px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31RM12TDAJL.jpg" alt="Remanufactured Hoover U64019RM WindTunnel Self-Propelled Bagged Upright, Color May Vary" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0001Z8FHE/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;Remanufactured Hoover U64019RM WindTunnel Self-Propelled Bagged Upright, Color May Vary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0001Z8FHE/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;Hoover Vacuum&lt;/a&gt; a few days ago when I saw it for $50.00 on Amazon. I thought, "$50.00 for a vacuum that retailed for $300!? And free shipping? I'm gonna cop this on that AYSAP, ya digg?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I got this vacuum for $50, and it shipped for free because it was over $25.00. It's a GREAT price, but has now gone up. Sorry to those of you who were too slow. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0001Z8FHE/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;This machine&lt;/a&gt; has a motor in it, so when you push it, it drives itself. Isn't that cool? It's got a GREAT suction hose, even though it's a bit small. But the thing is, the hose is made of rubber, NOT plastic like most of them. The hose can get annoying because it seems short, but it's NO PROBLEMO, because I can move the whole thing. The cord is pretty long, and it has a great feature where you can see if it's picking up dirt. If it shows a green light, it's already clean, and you can move on. If it shows a red light, you know to keep going over that area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, it's a great machine, and I love it. Holla back young'n...

The &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20"&gt;vacuum&lt;/a&gt; looked brand new out of the box and worked fine after putting it together. Took about fifteen minutes to a half hour to assemble. The first time I started to run this &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;vacuum cleaner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I was amazed at how much stuff in my carpet that my last &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20"&gt;vacuum&lt;/a&gt; was missing. A nice feature is that &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000WS0DSE/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;this vacuum&lt;/a&gt; comes with a warning light to let you know if an area is completely clean. I found myself going over and over parts of the rug that looked clean to the naked eye but was probably not. I have one dog and two cats, with all the animal hair shedding constantly a good &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000WS0DSE/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;vacuum&lt;/a&gt; is a must in my house and this one seems to do the trick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-655470569774277689?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/655470569774277689/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=655470569774277689&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/655470569774277689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/655470569774277689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/02/hoover-u54219rm-reconditioned.html' title='Hoover U54219RM Reconditioned Windtunnel Bagged Upright'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-1015833608572003050</id><published>2008-02-09T18:57:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-09T19:02:45.070-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover U57009RM ReConditioned Windtunnel Bagless Upright, Colors May Vary</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0009HALCQ/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 382px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31TkHWJ8H%2BL.jpg" alt="Hoover U57009RM ReConditioned Windtunnel Bagless Upright, Colors May Vary" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0009HALCQ/103-5633203-6512665"&gt;Hoover U57009RM ReConditioned Windtunnel Bagless Upright, Colors May Vary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a refurbished product, but it arrived packaged securely and in great condition. Only placed where I noticed any wear was on the wheels -- everything else (as far as I could see) appeared to be new. I was happy to see all the great attachments and couldn't wait to give it a test run. Well, it is powerful and almost glides across room. It's not supposed to be self-propelled but it feels like it. It does a fabulous job cleaning my carpet, area rugs, tile and hardwood floors. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I recently saw this product in one of the discount department stores for $49.99  you save $110.00 with Free Shipping.

As the video shows, the sweeper is very versatile and useful. It works in either carpet or tiles, although I think it works best in carpets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it DOES pick up:&lt;br /&gt;I have been able to pick up glass, nals, screws, paper, hair, dust, chocolate mix and many more things. This sweeper does pick up all of these things. I once broke a wine glass in the my carpet and the sweeper was able to pick up most of the pieces of glass. It allows me to do a quick sweep of the place to try to keep things neat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it does not pick up:&lt;br /&gt;Crumpled up paper (as in the video), but it does pick up bits of paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Battery:&lt;br /&gt;The battery lasts a surprising long time. Days actually. I charge my sweeper every 2 weeks or so (depending on use; I use it about 2-3 times a week and live in an apartment). I am not sure how long it actually takes to charge but I believe this is specified in the instructions.&lt;br /&gt;With this sweeper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emptying the sweeper:&lt;br /&gt;It is really easy to empty the sweeper. You just remove the compartment and dump it in the trash. I do have to say that it is annoying to clean the bristles of the sweeper. Hair strands get tangled in the bristles and it is hard to get them off. What I usually do is to use a pair of scissors to cut them up and then clean the bristles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line:&lt;br /&gt;This is a great investment and will make cleaning better. I hope the video is better and that the quality is ok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quieter, lighter, and easier to maneuver than a traditional suction-powered vacuum, this rechargeable cordless sweeper is a joy to use. It efficiently cleans up messes ranging from tracked-in mud to spilled Cheerios on either floors or carpet, all without messy bags and filters, tripping over cords, or dragging a heavy vacuum from one outlet to another. Powerful brush-roll action sweeps rather than sucks dirt onto a dust tray that removes easily for emptying. The low-profile design with swiveling head reaches easily into tight corners and under furniture, and the whole sweeper converts to a hand-held unit for cleaning stairs, upholstery, or your car--a feature that's especially handy for couches covered with pet hair. The Euro-Pro cleans a 10-inch path and runs up to 30 minutes on a single charge. It weighs just 5 pounds for shipping, measures 10-1/3 by 4-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches, and is covered by a one-year limited warranty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5450588911962022790?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5450588911962022790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5450588911962022790&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5450588911962022790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5450588911962022790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/euro-pro-shark-v1725-quick-and-quiet-10.html' title='Euro-Pro Shark V1725 Quick-and-Quiet 10-Inch Cordless Sweeper'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-7703721676650560831</id><published>2008-01-27T07:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-27T07:31:52.832-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dyson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Soft Dusting Brush'/><title type='text'>Dyson Soft Dusting Brush</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ANHPIW/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 186px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/215WRPWH01L.jpg" alt="Dyson Soft Dusting Brush" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ANHPIW/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dyson Soft Dusting Brush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like your &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ANHPIW/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Dyson&lt;/a&gt;, you'll probably like this tool too. Yeah, it's not perfect, but it is good for quickly dusting off flat surfaces like table tops, and it works well on keyboards and blinds too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was looking to buy, I noticed several warnings that this only fits specific vacuums (fortunately, mine was one of the ones listed). It actually appears to fit almost all vacuums - it comes with two attachments that will connect to the hose of your Dyson: one connector fits DC07, 14, 17, and 18 tubes and the other fits DC11, 15, 16, and 21's. It's a short tube that connects your vacuum hose to the brush.

We tried a bissell clearview as our first bagless. It would collect tons of dust and hair around the filter. Yuck, who wants to deal with this. The filter clogged up quickly with a thick coat of gunk, it was hard to remove, hard to clean and generally a mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall I don't see how most single cyclone vacuums are an improvement over bagged vacuums. You end up dealing with too much dust and spend too much time cleaning the vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In comparison, &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000HRY304/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;the Bissell 3990&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Velocity series is amazing. Vacuum anything, hair, dust, sand, you name it. Amazingly it gets collected in the basket and not on the filter. I've used it heavily over the course of a week, with countless baskets being emptied. The filter has a consistent coloring of dust, but I wouldn't even call it a coating. Its just a little colored. No need to clean it or anything else on the vacuum anytime soon. And when it is time to clean the filter, its really easy to get it out and rinse it in water, unlike the Clearview which was much messier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vacuum I bought is &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000HRY304/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the 3990-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, it has an indicator to tell you when suction has been reduced so you should clean the filter (nice!), and it has a light to let you know if you're sucking up dirt (can be useful).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its nice to be able to turn off the beater bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My biggest concern is the beater bar. The bristles on the brush are VERY stiff and the brush by default sticks way down below the vacuum. The end result is that if feels like the vacuum is ripping my carpet apart. No matter how many times I vacuum a particular spot, it comes up with a bucket full of carpet fibers. Eventually there won't be any carpet left. I even wonder if the dust is really carpet thats been sanded down by the sharp bristles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, it is powerful and extracts an amazing amount of dirt from the carpet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first one we bought had a problem with the motor, it would stink very very badly with an electrical smell. Got another one without the smell. &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000HRY304/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Bissell&lt;/a&gt; does have quality issues. We also tried a velocity not total floors. The basket would not seal well even when locked. The machine we ended up with doesn't have any issues (so far).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall an amazing vacuum. I don't see any other reasonable alternative other than a Dyson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best upright vacuum for cleaning a wide variety of surfaces, the Total Floors Velocity ensures cleaner tile, wood, carpet and more. Bissell's patented multi-cyclonic technology keeps large debris from clogging the air filter for better suction and cleaner air. Enhanced suction sustains optimal cleaning performance on all surfaces, including floors, upholstery, furniture, and windowsills. Powered by a 12 amp motor, the Velocity is equipped with an exclusive DirtLifter brush that dislodges embedded pet hair, mold spores, and bacteria for healthier lungs and pristine floors. The unit's rotating brush ensures deep-down carpet cleaning, while a floor-activated, brush-off pedal and patented ScatterShield automatically turn off the rotating brush on certain floors and keep debris from being flung about the room. Ergonomically designed to make cleaning easier, the Velocity also features a wide, 15-inch cleaning path, an optimum air-flow indicator, an easy-empty dirt cup, a 35-foot power cord, and a scuff-resistant bumper. And, Bissell's powered TurboBrush is great for cleaning stairs and upholstery. Easy to assemble right out of the box, this vacuum is designed with a quick-change belt system for less downtime and reliable cleaning performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-1157795914439188400?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/1157795914439188400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=1157795914439188400&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1157795914439188400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1157795914439188400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/bissell-3990-total-floors-velocity.html' title='Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-5994365708537434388</id><published>2008-01-20T08:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T08:44:26.959-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bissell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SpotBot Vacuum'/><title type='text'>Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ASDCXY/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 258px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PZNE3G26L.jpg" alt="Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ASDCXY/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you have a pet? Then you should get &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ASDCXY/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;the SpotBot&lt;/a&gt;! Any mess left by your pet gets pulled right out of the carpet.&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ASDCXY/103-2180092-5589419"&gt; The SpotBot&lt;/a&gt; sprays a mixture of water and carpet cleaner while it scrubs. It has scrubbing brushes and vacuum "combs" that oscillate in an offset circle, then it reverses direction. It doesn't just swirl everything into the carpet, but scrubs semi-randomly just like you would. After a minute or so, it stops spraying and just scrubs. Then it begins vacuuming while scrubbing and after a couple minutes, voila! it stops and you just need to let it dry. That's it! Plus, there's a wand so you can clean small messes or odd areas like the steps. Every 5 or 6 cleanings, you empty the used liquid and refill with carpet cleaner and water. Both containers have drip proof connections, so it couldn't be easier. They really thought through this product. It's the best cleaning product I ever spent money on. Period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ASDCXY/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;SpotBot Handsfree Compact Deep Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# HANDSFREE CLEANING - Set SpotBot on the spot or stain, hit start and walk away&lt;br /&gt;# MANUAL CLEANING - Convenient hose and toos are stored on board for versatile cleaning of stairs, auto, and upholstery&lt;br /&gt;# UNIQUE SPIRAL BRUSHING - Safely and effectively brushes, sprays, and permenetly removes stains such as red wine, cola, fruit juice and coffee&lt;br /&gt;# AUTOMATIC SMART SYSTEM - Pre-programmed cycles for surface or set-in stains&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ASDCXY/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;The SpotBot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;from Bissell takes care of carpet stains that are new, old, large, small, and everything in between. In one surface stain cycle, the Unique Spiral Brushing action completes over 400 cleaning revolutions, for thorough and effective removal of tough stains. Red wine, cola, fruit juice, coffee, and even pets stains permanently disappear under the powerful cleaning bristles of this compact green cleaning machine. For best results, use Bissell's specially formulated chemicals like OxyGen II and Little Green Formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000ASDCXY/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The SpotBot &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;has two cleaning modes: hands-free and manual. In hands-free mode, the SpotBot is easier to use than a toaster oven. Just fill with water and cleaning fluid, select your stain type, and then walk away. Within seven minutes, its 24-inch circumference cleaning head does everything else for you. For larger stains or ones that require some extra elbow grease, use the Tough Stain Brush that attaches to the hose. The hose and brush are stored on board for versatile cleaning of stairs, auto, and upholstery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags : &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Vacuums+Cleaner+Reviews" title="Vacuums Cleaner Reviews"&gt;Vacuums Cleaner Reviews&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Vacuums+Reviews" title="Vacuums Reviews"&gt;Vacuums Reviews&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Vacuum+Review" title="Vacuum Review"&gt;Vacuum Review&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/SpotBot+Vacuums" title="SpotBot Vacuums"&gt;SpotBot Vacuums&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Bissell" title="Bissell"&gt;Bissell&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/Bissell+1200B" title="Bissell 1200B"&gt;Bissell 1200B&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/SpotBot+Hands-Free" title="SpotBot Hands-Free"&gt;SpotBot Hands-Free&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5994365708537434388?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5994365708537434388/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5994365708537434388&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5994365708537434388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5994365708537434388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/bissell-1200b-spotbot-hands-free.html' title='Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-8713474141657617240</id><published>2008-01-20T08:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T08:30:41.734-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Upright Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover U5507-900 Elite Rewind Bagless Upright</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FFQ554/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 153px; height: 311px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41F53Y77ZEL.jpg" alt="Hoover U5507-900 Elite Rewind Bagless Upright" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FFQ554/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Hoover U5507-900 Elite Rewind Bagless Upright&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Great Vacuum For A Low Price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FFQ554/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Hoover U5507-900 Elite Rewind Bagless Upright&lt;/a&gt; was a new design from scratch and was build with the goal of building an excellent vacuum cleaner at a new lower affordable price point.

I generally like it, but it's not really intended to replace your "real" vacuum if you have carpet (especially if you have kids or pets), and that's what I'd been hoping for. Here are a few things you should consider:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Cordless is great, but cordless vacs never have as much "oomph" as corded vacs. If you need heavy duty cleaning, you need a "real" vacuum cleaner. On the other hand, you'll probably pull it out much more often for little tasks, because it's so convenient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* It's designed for "lightweight" uses, such as picking up crumbs under the table, and it shows. For example, it doesn't clean the edges along the walls very well, and you can't adjust the height for different kinds of carpet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* It weighs "only" as much as a gallon of milk, and you have to lift it UP (an inch) to get it out of its re-charging cradle. If you were considering a lightweight vac primarily because of back problems, then you need to decide whether you can lift it before you order it. (I can't use a regular upright because pushing that much weight tweaks my lower back, but this has been fine for me.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Speaking of the charging base, dirt accumulates in it. It seems to fall out of the vacuum/beater bar. Plan to dump out the dirt every ten or twenty times you use it. (The dirt also seems to fall out of the vacuum on occasion when you turn it off. This may be common to other cordless vacs, but plan to look at the floor to see whether you have a pile of dirt underneath the vac after you turn it off.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I have had some trouble getting the dirt cup clicked back into place. You have to (lean over and) line it up correctly and push firmly while holding the vacuum (so it doesn't fall over). If you have severe arthritis or wrist/elbow problems that are aggravated by pushing, then you may find this aspect undesirable and should look for a regular (bag) vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I have to dump the dirt cup at least once every two minutes. A quick run through the main pathways in the entry and living area usually means dumping the dirt cup two or three times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The directions say that you should clean the inner filters every single time you dump the dirt cup, and they're not kidding. We find that taking the filter assembly outside and tapping it firmly on a flat surface causes a surprising amount of dust to fall out. (Slamming it straight down on a fence post seems to be most effective.) The vac works MUCH better if you do this often. The suction loss as the inner filter gets clogged is very noticeable. We have even washed the inner filter in plain water to good effect (dry thoroughly, of course).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The battery is usually adequate. If we try to vacuum everything (almost 1000 sf of carpet), then we sometimes have to let it recharge halfway through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I sure wish someone would invent a beater bar that didn't get clogged up with hair or carpet fuzz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This vac would be perfect for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* the kids to grab to clean up the dirt they track in&lt;br /&gt;* the upstairs vac for everyday use (bring the real one up every few weeks to do a thorough job)&lt;br /&gt;* as a broom substitute on tile or wood&lt;br /&gt;* if you can't push (or the kids can't be trusted with) a large vacuum cleaner&lt;br /&gt;* in an office&lt;br /&gt;* in any situation where the point is to clean up a small mess before it gets ground in permenantly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it's not good for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* a thorough job before you shampoo the carpets&lt;br /&gt;* a total solution if you need to vacuum thoroughly to cut down on asthma/allergy problems&lt;br /&gt;* picking up a lot of hair or large crumbs (like Cheerios)&lt;br /&gt;* getting carpet as clean as humanly possible&lt;br /&gt;* someone who's unusually tall and don't want to stoop a little to use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combining cordless convenience with impressive suction, the&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00022NGFW/103-2180092-5589419"&gt; Dirt Devil Extreme Power stick vacuum &lt;/a&gt;tackles bare floors and carpets wherever you take it. A 14.4-volt machine, the vacuum features a rotating brush roll for agitating dirt out of carpet fibers. The brush roll shuts off on bare floors, eliminating the possibility of scratches on your hardwoods. Dirt collection is completely bagless, with a transparent dust container that pops off for easy emptying. An included filter traps small particulates and can be tapped clean for maintenance and reuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lightweight and slim in profile, the vacuum is ideal for speedy pickups and everyday cleaning jobs. Thanks to its fold-down handle and trim footprint, it is suitable for small apartments but the suction is strong enough to handle mid-size homes. Dirt Devil includes a charging base that also acts as a storage stand, and charging can be continuous without damage to the machine. With a 9-1/2-inch cleaning path, the Extreme Power stands 42-1/2 inches high. Dirt Devil includes a one-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5736483756636073?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5736483756636073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5736483756636073&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5736483756636073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5736483756636073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/dirt-devil-083414-extreme-power-stick.html' title='Dirt Devil 083414 Extreme Power Stick Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-1384434159936724568</id><published>2008-01-18T19:53:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-18T19:56:34.437-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lightweight Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bissell'/><title type='text'>Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00008NRU0/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 135px; height: 422px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21252M700EL.jpg" alt="Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00008NRU0/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is easy to use and very light weight. It was just what I needed between weekly visits from the wonderful person who actually vacuums for me (I HATE vacuuming with a passion).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a cat and a dog and I garden (sloppily) so I needed something like this that I'd actually use. I took it out of the box, assembled it in about a minute (without even having to read the directions) and I cleaned up my kitchen. It pulled up an amazing amout of fur, etc. Now I'm looking for things to clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took me a few trys to get the emptying part down, but it's easy. Just remove the main unit from the "stick" and empty it over a trash can or empty it over a piece of newspaper on the floor. Since the body is plastic a bit of the fine dust may cling to the outer case, so have a damp paper towel handy to give it a quick exterior wipe. No big deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The price is so incredibly reasonable that I bought another one to keep next to the kitty litter box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have two small children who seem to be increasing their crumb-dropping habit recently. I sweep crumbs into the corner of the kitchen and dining room (both hardwood) every day, but don't always have the chance to use the dustpan right away, plus you can't pick up every last speck that way. I am sick of sweeping and stooping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I found this little beauty and it is soooo much better than I expected! For $20, I figured I was taking a chance... but it works REALLY well! I leave on the roller head (as shown in pic) for floors and it's so light I pick it up and roll it across the dinner table as well! I slip the roller head off to get in the tighter corners, I use the crevice tool for the space between the carpet and walls in the halls. It's like a dustbuster on a stick, but since it plugs in, it's more powerful. It fits between my fridge and the wall with that sad, lonely old broom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not a replacement for a big vac... I use my big, heavy Hoover for the plush carpet, but it's great for little touch-ups on the carpet. It does not, however, do great at picking up fuzzy carpet balls that are stuck to the carpet. It picks up beads better than my big vac (which sometimes spits them back out), it picks up crumbs, pieces of cereal, it even picked up an intact teddy graham with no problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The motor sounds very tight, smooth, like it will last. But I have not had it long, I will post again when I have more info on longevity. My only complaint is the plug isn't tight in the socket -- any pressure at all pulls the plug right out. I suppose if it's too annoying I can bend one prong slightly. I do wish it was easier to wrap and unwrap the cord since I'm using it so much! A retractable cord would be perfect. But for $20, I'm more than thrilled with this product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A remarkably lightweight cleaning unit, the Featherweight stick vacuum from Bissell offers dual functionality in one slim little machine. Suitable for bare floors, draperies, upholstery, and low-pile carpets, the Featherweight converts easily from a floor vacuum to a hand vacuum and includes a crevice tool for tight corners. Completely bagless, the unit collects debris in a dust cup with a washable cloth filter. When the cup fills up, you just pop it off and empty it. Handy for small areas or anyone who needs a lightweight cleaning tool, the Featherweight stands 44-1/2 inches high and has a 9-1/4-inch nozzle. It comes with an ergonomically designed grip, and Bissell includes a limited one-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-1384434159936724568?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/1384434159936724568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=1384434159936724568&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1384434159936724568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/1384434159936724568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/bissell-3106a-featherweight-lightweight.html' title='Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-868589467493562928</id><published>2008-01-18T19:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-18T19:51:30.227-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Replacement Filters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Roomba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iRobot'/><title type='text'>iRobot Roomba 4910 Replacement Filters</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00022HZ0E/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411B9BBWQWL.jpg" alt="iRobot Roomba 4910 Replacement Filters" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00022HZ0E/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;iRobot Roomba 4910 Replacement Filters&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would not recommend buying this is you don't have a roomba. No really I'm serious there is not many other uses. If you do have a roomba you probably need some.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have tried to use it as a breathing bask for my dog. Not a good idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would not give it to small children or the senile elderly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can be used in Halloween costumes or if you need to fill up some small place with a small object.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They can be fun to stack and un-stack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try destroying them if you need something to destroy. No fire though! Smells bad and carelessness creates forest fires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please don't start a forest fire. I have a dog and she likes the forest. We run and play and if you burn down the forest because you lit the Roomba filter in a forest and created a fire I will be mad at you and if we ever meet I will let my dog bit you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# 3 pack of replacement filters&lt;br /&gt;# Prevents dust and dirt from escaping vacuum system&lt;br /&gt;# Changing filter every 1 to 2 months recommended&lt;br /&gt;# Remove dustbin and slide filter out to clean or change&lt;br /&gt;# Compatible with all Discovery Series Roombas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-868589467493562928?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/868589467493562928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=868589467493562928&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/868589467493562928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/868589467493562928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/irobot-roomba-4910-replacement-filters.html' title='iRobot Roomba 4910 Replacement Filters'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-4796715441650440682</id><published>2008-01-18T19:42:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-18T19:46:25.841-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Black Decker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Handheld Vacuum'/><title type='text'>Black &amp; Decker CHV1500 15.6-Volt HEPA Cyclonic DustBuster</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006VWS0S/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411gnk73-nL.jpg" alt="Black &amp;amp; Decker CHV1500 15.6-Volt HEPA Cyclonic DustBuster" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006VWS0S/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Black &amp;amp; Decker CHV1500 15.6-Volt HEPA Cyclonic DustBuster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been a big fan of the whole &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006VWS0S/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Dustbuster&lt;/a&gt; portable concept since the beginning, but frankly, the results never quite lived up to the hype. We've owned 7.2V, 9.6V, and 12.6V &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006VWS0S/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Dustbusters&lt;/a&gt;, and while they were fine for pickup up dust in the corner or spilled coffee grounds, the "big" jobs always required pulling out the full-sized vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've generally bought the second-tier &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006VWS0S/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Dustbuster&lt;/a&gt; -- one step down from the pricey flagship model, to where the bang-for-the-buck was greatest. Boy, am I glad I broke the habit this time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006VWS0S/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;CHV1500&lt;/a&gt; is in a different league. The combination of a 15.6V motor and the Cyclonic design finally reaches a point where the Dustbuster can tackle:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- dog hair in an area rug or stair runner&lt;br /&gt;- sawdust&lt;br /&gt;- staples and pins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have two long-haired dogs, and keeping up with dog hair has always been a hassle. Our house is low on closet space, so the big vacuum is in the back room, and dragging it out is a pain. Now, we don't have to!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The battery life is improved, too. I've used this Dustbuster to thoroughly clean the 4' x 6' rug at the front door: loaded with winter road sand and the afforementioned dog hair. Normally, this is a 10-15 minute job, and previous Dustbusters seemed to run out of pep at about 5-6 minutes. The CHV1500 is still running strong at the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What don't I like about the &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006VWS0S/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;CHV1500&lt;/a&gt;? One minor quibble: There is only a place for the long-nosed attachment; the short brush attachment has to stay in place on the nose of the vacuum -- or get stuck in a drawer somewhere, lost forever. Other than that, this is the best portable vacuum I've ever owned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Providing the ultimate in power and convenience, this 15-3/5-volt cordless handheld vacuum features a cyclonic-action filter system that prevents dirt from sticking to the filter. Dirt and debris, instead, are circulated in the bowl and around the filter, allowing air to pass through the machine with no reduction in suction power. With its efficient filtration system, the unit has more power and more run time to accommodate tough cleaning jobs. And when the dirt bin is full, it's easy to tell with the translucent dirt container. The unit also comes equipped with a filter-cleaning wheel that allows for shaking off fine debris that gets into the filter by merely turning the dial--one turn increases suction power by 80 percent. Other convenient features include a quick-slide charging system, a 23-ounce capacity, and three-stage filtration for clean air exhaust, as well as a HEPA filter that traps 99.7 percent of dust particles, keeping air free of allergens. On-board attachments include an upholstery brush and a crevice tool for hard-to-reach areas. The vacuum measures approximately 17-1/2 by 5-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches and carries a full two-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-4796715441650440682?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4796715441650440682/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=4796715441650440682&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4796715441650440682'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4796715441650440682'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/black-decker-chv1500-156-volt-hepa.html' title='Black &amp; Decker CHV1500 15.6-Volt HEPA Cyclonic DustBuster'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-5768783317469396655</id><published>2008-01-11T19:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-11T19:27:34.176-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Upright Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bissell'/><title type='text'>Bissell 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000HS28AA/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 178px; height: 462px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41MRBQ781RL.jpg" alt="Bissell 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000HS28AA/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Bissell 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this vacuum this month and it arrived yesterday, April 3rd. I had done quite a bit of checking on vacuums as we have owned many brands in the past, some of them being quite expensive models. Two years ago we purchased an Oreck upright with full warranty. Prior to that we had a Simplicity, before that an electrolux canister, some hoovers, a full Kirby ensemble and a number of other brands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live in the downstairs apartment of my parent's home and they live in the upstairs main level of the house. There is wall to wall carpeting throughout except for the kitchen and the entry hall. Between us, we have four dogs, and four cats. LOTS of hair! My mother also runs her business out of the house so at times there is a great deal of foot traffic coming in and out. Despite frequent vacuuming with both the Simplicity and the Oreck, the carpets never look clean. The Oreck refuses to pick up hair and has spent more time in the shop being serviced than it has been in the house. No matter which vacuum is used, prior to deep carpet cleaning with my Bissel Steam Pro, the deep cleaner still pulls up TONS of hair and I have to frequently turn it off and clean out what hasn't been redeposited on the carpet. It makes for a very frustrating time and one I do not look forward to. It has gotten so bad that I finally, out of desperation decided to look into purchasing yet another vacuum. I did my research and had my budget laid out. After choosing the Bissel Momentum 3910 I did a thorough vacuuming with both the Oreck and the Simplicity vacuums the day before delivery of the Bissel was scheduled. Upon getting the Bissel and putting it together &lt;which really="" was="" pretty="" simple="" and="" easy=""&gt; I vacuumed again. The amount of hair and dirt the Bissel picked up was simply incredible. Not only did it pick up a ton of hair and dirt, but the room actually did smell and look much better afterwards, as opposed to after vacuuming with the other vacuums. I then used the Bissel Steam Pro cleaner and got no hair build up at all. The old carpet in the downstairs actually looked fresher and newer. That carpet is well over 15 years old and has seen some hard use. Mother borrowed the new vacuum and went to town upstairs remarking that she couldn't believe the amount of hair and dirt it picked up. After spending hundreds of dollars on other vacuums she was also amazed that I got it for under a hundred dollars with free shipping no less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pros:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRICE ! You really can't beat the price.&lt;br /&gt;Picks up a ton of hair and dirt other vacuums simply do not get.&lt;br /&gt;Easy to assemble.&lt;br /&gt;Easy to empty the large collection cup.&lt;br /&gt;Cord is long and wraps up conveniently on hooks to the back of the machine. Both hooks turn to make releasing the wrapped cord a snap.&lt;br /&gt;GREAT suction. Could not believe how powerful this vacuum is compared to many other machines I've used.&lt;br /&gt;Not so heavy as some but heavier than other machines. However, the vacuum rolls easily without having to push all that much and it has a variety of floor height settings.&lt;br /&gt;NO bags to mess with. Some people said that they had difficulties with the cup but I've had none at all.&lt;br /&gt;Lights on front of vacuum really do light up the area you are vacuuming. Not only that but because of the open design of the vacuum, it is easy to see the roller brush and the contents of the collection cup in case something does get sucked up and jams the brush mechanism.&lt;br /&gt;Reuseable, washable filter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cons:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It IS a bit on the top heavy side of things.&lt;br /&gt;I would have liked having more tools to work with such as brush and crevice tools. The air powered unit that comes with it is great though the other tools would be very handy to have. I will be looking into extra tools to purchase but I honestly don't mind with what this vacuum provides me already.&lt;br /&gt;It does take some getting used to so far as the hose attachment. With use this becomes much easier though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noted that some people found the plastic hose guides a pain but so far I've had no trouble with them at all. Some found the power button in an awkward place but I don't mind that either. Because it is a bit top heavy especially after unwinding the hose for use, I learned quickly to brace the handle so that it wouldn't tip over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to thank everyone for their input on this machine. It helped me to make a more informed decision on the purchase of it and I am really thrilled with it. I'd also like to thank Mr. Bissel for creating inexpensive, powerful cleaning tools for home use. I haven't been disappointed with any of Bissel's line of products so far. I will also be purchasing another of these vacuums for the upstairs for my mother to use and another as a wedding present in the next few months. For the money and the incredible job it does, I would keep one of these around all the time. In time, Bissel may reconfigure the vacuum to be a bit less top heavy but that so far is the only "complaint" I have. I'm recommending it to friends and family, definitely !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000HS28AA/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span&gt;More Information &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Product Description&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bissell 3910 Momentum Upright Vacuum Cleaner offers a high efficiency cyclonic system that provides superior performance. The vacuum offers 12 amps of maximum cleaning power resulting in powerful suction with an exclusive DirtLifter brush system for superior cleaning. The Cyclonic cleaning technology keeps filters clean longer for maximum suction power and the optimum air flow indicator let's you know when air flow is optimized to provide maximum cleaning performance. This vacuum also features an Easy to Empty Dirt Cup, 12' flexible stretch hose, scuff resistant bumper, powered rotating TurboBrush, easy assembly and an easy change belt system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside Bissell's Momentum upright vacuum cleaner a mini-cyclone spins, chucking the heavy floor and carpet debris into an easy-to-empty dirt cup and sucking the smaller particles up into the unit's efficient HEPA filter. Without the big stuff clogging up the filter and reducing suction as in other brands, the unit captures over 99.97 percent of particles like dust mites, pollens, and ragweed for healthier lungs and tidier rooms. With 12 amps of maximum cleaning power, the Momentum ensures powerful suction the full width of the unit's 15-inch cleaning path. An exclusive DirtLifter brush system further bolsters cleaning performance. And, an air-flow indicator shows when air flow is optimal for efficient cleaning. The Momentum also features a 12-foot stretch hose, a scuff resistant bumper, and a powered, rotating TurboBrush. More smooth features: a washable pre-motor filter keeps the machine running clean for longer life; seven height adjustments cover a wide variety of floor types; and a foot window and bright headlight show that all is running smoothly. Plus, there's a crevice tool, a curved extension wand, an upholstery/dusting brush, and Bissell's Quick Release cord wraps that eliminate tangle and make packing up a snap. Out of the box, the Momentum is easy to assemble and, when it's time to change the belt system, that's quick and easy, too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000HS28AA/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span&gt;More Information &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/which&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-5768783317469396655?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5768783317469396655/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=5768783317469396655&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5768783317469396655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/5768783317469396655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/bissell-3910-momentum-bagless-upright.html' title='Bissell 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-186489339673526760</id><published>2008-01-11T19:16:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-11T19:20:42.881-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Black Decker'/><title type='text'>Black &amp; Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0002TP1LC/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 294px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4176Z8YZ11L.jpg" alt="Black &amp;amp; Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0002TP1LC/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Black &amp;amp; Decker CHV1400&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The power of a handheld vacuum is measured in the same way as that of a powerdrill - the amount of voltage the motor uses. The CHV1400 is one of the more powerful models with 14.4-Volts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But numbers don't mean much if the power isn't delivered properly. Thankfully, this product does its job very well. It is about as loud as a regular vacuum cleaner, but that's to be expected. It sucks about as good as a full size vacuum - in fact I used it as my sole vacuum until I found a good deal on a full size one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It handles dirt very well. It will suck up practically anything. I use it to clean up under my baby's high-chair (the parents among you will understand), my stairs (where I don't/can't use the full size vacuum), and in our cars. The on-board crevice tool is great for corners, and for the nooks of carseats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;It holds a charge for about 40 minutes - and I've worked it till it completely discharges. It has two settings, full and less-than-full (no name), and it is set by using the slider button on it's top. I don't see a reason why you would want to use the less-power setting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It cleans very easily. The clear nozzle comes off, and then the filter and it's holder are taken apart easily. I hand wash them and leave them out to dry after each use. I can put it back together in about 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hung the charger on the wall, and it holds the vacuum securely while hanging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend this product fully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Product Description&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want the ultimate in power and the convenience of cordless? Black and Decker is the first to bring Cyclonic Action to a Cordless Hand Held Vacuum! If you notice that your hand vac doesn't seem to pick up as much as it used to or it doesn't have as much power as you think it should, it's probably a clogged filter. With the new Cyclonic Action DustBuster, dirt and debris is circulated in the bowl and around the filter, allowing air to pass through the machine with no reduction in suction power. With the filtration system running so efficiently, the DustBuster has more power and more run time than any other cordless hand held vacuum in the marketplace. With the translucent bowl, you can actually see the dirt moving around the filter and you can tell when it's time to empty the collection bin. This 14.4 volt DustBuster also has a Filter Cleaning Wheel that allows you to shake off the fine debris that gets into the filter by merely turning the dial on the unit. No more touching your dirty filter to clean it out. And, because you are enhancing your filtration system by cleaning out the filter, one turn of the dial turns up the suction power by 80%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With unsurpassed sucking power and the convenience of cordless, Black &amp;amp; Decker's 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster is a great vacuum to have around the house, shop or office. Cyclonic Action circulates dirt and debris in the bowl and around the filter, allowing air to pass through the machine with no reduction in suction power. With the filtration system running so efficiently, the DustBuster has more power and more run time than any other cordless, hand held vacuum. The translucent bowl let's you see the dirt moving around the filter, so you know when it's time to empty the collection bin. No more handling dirty filters, when its time to clean, simply turn the Filter Cleaning Wheel to shake off fine debris. That simple action increases suction power by 80 percent! A quick-slide charging base mounts on the wall for easy access and quick response to tracked-in mud, spilt cereal, and more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0002TP1LC/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;More information &gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-186489339673526760?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/186489339673526760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=186489339673526760&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/186489339673526760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/186489339673526760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/black-decker-chv1400-144-volt-cyclonic.html' title='Black &amp; Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-3423601755815491158</id><published>2008-01-11T19:07:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-11T19:14:36.566-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eureka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Handheld Vacuum'/><title type='text'>Eureka 71A Hand-Held Vacuum</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006HUYGM/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P8K0DVPTL.jpg" alt="Eureka 71A Hand-Held Vacuum" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006HUYGM/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Eureka 71A Hand-Held Vacuum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd planned to get the small Dyson, but the reviews of this vacuum persuaded me to give it a try. It's absolutely excellent. It's the best handheld vacuum I've ever tried, and I've thrown more of these things away than I can remember. Fortunately, I've always saved the attachments. Sometimes they fit another model, sometimes they don't. Since there's no fancy coupling required to attach tools to the hose end of this one, its just friction, most fit it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a solid, powerful vacuum. The filter is heavy-duty and seems very durable. It's easily removed and reattached. I use those over-priced compressed air duster cans to blow all the dust and dog hair off of the filter. Between this and my full-size Dyson, there's probably more of the family dog outside the house than in by now. As for the weight of this machine, it is a little heavy, but then I only have to support its weight when doing vertical surfaces or carrying it around. When it's vacuuming stairs and furniture, I let the horizontal surfaces support most of the weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything about this machine suggests its maker really put a lot of thought and effort into making an absolutely excellent product. And, I commend them for packaging it in protective plastic that can be easily removed without knives, pliers, bolt cutters, or a chain saw. The engineering on this one was obviously thoughtful and thorough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Product Description&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quick-Up Handheld Vacuum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two-motor performance. 5.5 amp motor. Clean air filtration system. Easy-empty dust cup for bagless convenience. Exclusive Riser Visor™ pivots for cleaning stair risers and vertical surface upholstery. Includes crevice tool. On-board hose with cord wrap. 20-ft. power cord. Shpg. wt. 7 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hand-held but very powerful, this Eureka model eliminates the hassle of lugging around a full-size vacuum for cleaning car upholstery, sofas, and carpeted stairs. A long 20-foot cord (which wraps for storage) provides good reach, as does the deluxe hose that stretches to three times its length. With the crevice tool on the end of the hose, this vacuum reaches into all kinds of tight places. And, with two motors, one to power the revolving brush and one for suction, the 5.5 amp vacuum cleans deeply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Eureka's innovations is the Riser Visor, a clear plastic cover that stays down for cleaning horizontal surfaces and flips up so the revolving brush can reach the vertical carpet on stair risers. There's no bag to change, just a filter and clear plastic dust cup to shake out when necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0006HUYGM/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;More Review &amp;amp; Shop now&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-3423601755815491158?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/3423601755815491158/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=3423601755815491158&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3423601755815491158'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3423601755815491158'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/eureka-71a-hand-held-vacuum.html' title='Eureka 71A Hand-Held Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6031358715948038762</id><published>2008-01-09T06:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-09T06:48:00.405-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Handheld Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dyson'/><title type='text'>Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000I5Q1IC/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Vps24xuuL.jpg" alt="Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000I5Q1IC/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only handheld that doesn't lose suction with double the suction power of other handhelds / 3 times faster charging / Cordless / Bagless Crevice tool Large debris pick up High velocity airflow tools LED battery indicator Durable tough construction Clear bin for easy cleaning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Product Details&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  * Amazon Sales Rank: #300 in Kitchen &amp;amp; Housewares&lt;br /&gt;  * Brand: Dyson&lt;br /&gt;  * Model: Root 6&lt;br /&gt;  * Released on: 2006-10-12&lt;br /&gt;  * Dimensions: 5.90 pounds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  * Bagless handheld vacuum cleaner with Root Cyclone technology&lt;br /&gt;  * Twice the suction of other handhelds; recharges 3 times faster&lt;br /&gt;  * Cordless; picks up large debris; 1-touch cup-emptying system&lt;br /&gt;  * Battery charger, crevice tool, and combination accessory tool included&lt;br /&gt;  * Measures 4-2/7 by 18-2/7 by 8-8/9 inches; 2-year warranty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Designed for quick pick-ups, this powerful handheld vacuum cleaner features Root Cyclone technology and a constant suction power of 36 air watts--twice the power of other handhelds. The cordless unit vacuums up both small and large debris from carpets, smooth tabletop surfaces, computer keyboards, and other areas around the home. Like many handhelds, the Dyson Root 6 delivers up to six minutes of powerful continuous cleaning on each full charge, but, uniquely, it recharges up to three times faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, the hygienic unit exhausts only fresh, clean air back into the room, and its 0.21-gallon clear bin offers a one-touch cup-emptying system to keep hands clear from dirt. Its bagless design and lifetime washable filters mean cost-free maintenance--no bags or filters to replace. Other highlights include 21.6-volt lithium-ion battery technology, an LED battery indicator, a charger cord length of 4-8/9 feet, a wall-mounted battery charger and fixing screws, and high-velocity airflow tools, which include a crevice tool and a combination accessory tool. Lightweight and ergonomic, the handheld vacuum cleaner measures 4-2/7 by 18-2/7 by 8-8/9 inches and carries a two-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000I5Q1IC/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;Shop &amp;amp; Read More information&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-6031358715948038762?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6031358715948038762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=6031358715948038762&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6031358715948038762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6031358715948038762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/dyson-dc16-root-6-handheld-vacuum.html' title='Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6257669949922592849</id><published>2008-01-09T06:41:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-09T06:44:31.473-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Roomba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iRobot'/><title type='text'>iRobot 530 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, White</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000UU7TZE/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41mRIApJQxL.jpg" alt="iRobot 530 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, White" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000UU7TZE/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;iRobot 530 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, White&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleans routinely so you don't have to. 500 Series robots offer the latest innovations from iRobot with unprecedented efficiency, coverage, and cleaning performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Product Details&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * Amazon Sales Rank: #118 in Kitchen &amp;amp; Housewares&lt;br /&gt;   * Color: White&lt;br /&gt;   * Brand: iRobot&lt;br /&gt;   * Model: 530&lt;br /&gt;   * Released on: 2007-08-22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * Vacuuming robot picks up dirt and debris with the touch of a button&lt;br /&gt;   * Easy-to-empty bagless dustbin; fine-filtration system traps allergens&lt;br /&gt;   * Anti-tangle technology; gentle-touch bumper system; built-in cliff sensors&lt;br /&gt;   * Self-charging Home Base, 2 Virtual Walls, an extra filter, and more included&lt;br /&gt;   * Measures 16-3/4 by 21 by 5 inches; 1-year limited warranty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, and particle filtration, the Roomba 530 vacuuming robot picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris with the simple touch of a button. The powerful unit features innovative spinning side brushes that grab dirt and dust from corners and along wall edges, as well as two high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up pet hair, cat litter, food crumbs, and other debris from floors. The vacuum sucks up the debris and deposits it into a large, easy-to-empty bagless dustbin, and its improved fine-filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit, reducing infiltration into the living environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life happens in busy homes, and keeping up with accumulating dirt, dust, pet hair, crumbs, and debris can be a daily challenge. Introducing the iRobot Roomba 530--a member of iRobot's newest generation of Roomba vacuuming robots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there's a better way to maintain cleaner floors every day. With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, and particle filtration, the Roomba 530 removes amazing amounts of dirt and debris from your floors with the touch of a button--so you don't have to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For added convenience, the vacuum's cleaning head automatically adjusts to transition from wood, tile, and linoleum to carpets and rugs, while improved anti-tangle technology ensures it won't get stuck on cords and rug fringe. If the unit begins to pick up a cord or carpet tassel, it will automatically reverse the direction of its brushes to extract the item. A gentle-touch bumper system senses obstacles so the vacuum automatically slows its approach, gently touches the obstacle, then redirects to continue cleaning under or around the object. Because it cleans under beds, couches, and other hard-to-reach areas, it actually vacuums more of the floor than a standard upright can. The vacuum also senses dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them, and it uses built-in cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other drop-offs. In addition, invisible barriers can be set using the unit's Virtual Wall system. To mark off-limit areas, simply place a Virtual Wall at a doorway or other opening and adjust the infrared beam setting to the distance of the opening. The unit automatically detects the beam and will not cross it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vacuuming robot returns to its self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge between cleaning cycles or when the battery starts to run low. Its advanced power system consists of a fast-charging battery, a three-hour charger, and a power source that supercharges the unit for up to 120 minutes of continuous cleaning, covering about three to four average-size rooms on a single charge. Other accessories include two Virtual Walls (that require two D batteries each), a brush cleaning tool, and an extra filter. The vacuuming robot measures 16-3/4 by 21 by 5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000UU7TZE/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shop &amp;amp; Read More information&gt;&gt;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-6257669949922592849?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6257669949922592849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=6257669949922592849&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6257669949922592849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6257669949922592849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/irobot-530-roomba-vacuuming-robot-white.html' title='iRobot 530 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, White'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-8054318488198721475</id><published>2008-01-09T06:37:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-09T06:40:37.273-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00009R66F/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 446px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31S72TCXPML.jpg" alt="Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00009R66F/103-2180092-5589419"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Prepare to bust that dirt and clean that carpet.

The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the usual dirt and grime out of carpets. By pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle, this deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water. For more stubborn stains or for high-traffic areas, this SteamVac also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle. When cleaning is complete, release the trigger and the SteamVac forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain. This deep cleaner has two separate water tanks to keep clean water apart from dirty water.

Scooba preps your floor by picking up loose dirt and light debris, including hair, dust, and many cereals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wash&lt;/span&gt;: Scooba then washes your floor by laying down a mixture of specially formulated Clorox Scooba cleaning solution and water. Clorox Scooba cleaning solution is safe on all sealed hard floor surfaces. And it's nontoxic, so it's safe to use around kids and pets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scrub&lt;/span&gt;: Next, Scooba's specially designed brushes gently scrub floors, cleaning spills and removing grime. Scooba's brush spins at 1,500 revolutions per minute, scrubbing your floor more effectively than traditional mops or any other hard-floor cleaning system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dry&lt;/span&gt;: Finally, Scooba actually dries your floor by picking up the dirty water left on the floor and depositing it into a second tank. The residue is held in the "Dirty" tank until it is emptied. So, instead of just redistributing the dirty water around your floor like standard mops do, Scooba leaves your floor cleaner, drier, and ready to walk on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Do not waste your time and money on this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scooba just doesn't work. The one I purchased just wet the floor, and then tracked dirty soapy water all over my kitchen. The kitchen was worse off after Scooba than before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I followed the instructions to prime it with the bulb. It didn't help. I wasted a huge amount of time trying to make this thing work. None of the fixes or instructions given helped. It's just a dud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cleans well, battery died after 10 months, they replaced it for free&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I purchased the remanufactured iRobot Scooba for quite a bit more than the current price in February, 2007. It cleans well, but is a little noisy and tedious to clean. It does a good job of getting into nooks and crannies, but has a harder time getting through chairs around a table. This is just a size limitation and is expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December, 2007, after leaving it plugged in for a few weeks, it would only run for a few minutes. Recharging and trying to use it several times resulted in the same problem. I called customer service and they offered to send me a new battery and a firmware update using an OSMO (all for free). That is great customer service. It was well out of the 90-day warranty for the remanufactured scooba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently there is a defect with the charging mechanism of some units where it feeds the battery too much of a charge in trickle mode (after the charge is complete to keep battery charged). This will ruin the battery. Even after the firmware update, they recommend that you remove the battery from the unit/charger if you don't use it every week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Love it!!! Senses &amp;amp; stays off carpet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought the "remanufactured iRobot Scooba (various colors)" and received the 5900 (light blue body with dark blue front bumper). I read the whole manual to see what I needed to do to keep it off the carpet (in our great room, the living room is carpeted &amp;amp; the rest of the room is tile) but there was no mention of carpet other than "remove lightweight rugs from the floor." So I let it loose in the room and was delighted to find out that it somehow senses when it gets to the edge of the carpet &amp;amp; stays off of it. The housing itself does appear to be used, although very clean. It looks like a full replenish kit was installed (new wheels, brushes, filters &amp;amp; squeegee). The battery also appears to be brand new, I charged it overnight and ran 2 45-minute cleaning cycles back-to-back on a single charge. I started a third cleaning cycle but the battery needed to be charged. The cleaning solution smells pretty good... it does have a pretty strong "clean" (not bleach or ammonia) scent. I'm delighted so far!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000IZDUJU/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shop &amp;amp; Read more information &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-7549837239868614709?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/7549837239868614709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=7549837239868614709&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/7549837239868614709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/7549837239868614709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/remanufactured-irobot-scooba-floor.html' title='Remanufactured iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robotic Hard Surface Cleaner, Assorted Colors'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6491443304602069624</id><published>2008-01-06T02:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-06T02:14:57.534-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Roomba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iRobot'/><title type='text'>Remanufactured iRobot Roomba 4199 Vacuuming Robot</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FIR48S/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CBQTPF5NL.jpg" alt="Remanufactured iRobot Roomba 4199 Vacuuming Robot" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FIR48S/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FIR48S/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Remanufactured iRobot Roomba 4199 Vacuuming Robot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Product Description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FIR48S/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;Roomba Robotic FloorVac&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Product Details&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Amazon Sales Rank: #152 in Kitchen &amp;amp; Housewares&lt;br /&gt;* Color: red&lt;br /&gt;* Brand: Roomba&lt;br /&gt;* Model: 4100&lt;br /&gt;* Released on: 2004-09-15&lt;br /&gt;* Dimensions: 4.50" h x 14.80" w x 18.40" l,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Robotic floorvac with dirt detection and infra-red cliff sensors; approx. dimensions 13 by 4         inches&lt;br /&gt;* Remanufactured to like-new condition; 90 day parts, 90 day labor warranty&lt;br /&gt;* Auto adjusts to any floor surface; 2-hour continuous cleaning; easy-to-empty debris bin&lt;br /&gt;* Rechargeable APS battery, 7-hour charger, 1 virtual wall, and air filter included&lt;br /&gt;* Color may vary and may contain minor cosmetic blemishes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Editorial Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazon.com Product Description&lt;br /&gt;This entry-level robotic floorvac is easy to use and includes an array of convenient features. Simply press the Clean button and the unit will vacuum the whole floor, adjusting automatically to any floor surface including wood, tile linoleum, and low-to-medium pile carpet. The vacuum's artificial intelligence determines the room size and adjusts the run time to ensure that it cleans the entire floor. Integrated sensors detect dirt and will increase the focus and intensity of cleaning in that area, while infra-red cliff sensors in the non-marring bumper detect stairs to keep the unit from falling, as well as furniture and walls for cleaning right up to the edge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Key Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Cleans Carpets and Hard Floors - Automatically adjusts to any floor surface: wood, tile                 linoleum and carpet&lt;br /&gt;• Cleans Multiple Rooms - Thoroughly cleans multiple rooms on a single charge&lt;br /&gt;• Dirt Detect™ - Actually detects dirtier areas for concentrated cleaning&lt;br /&gt;• Aware™ Robot Intelligence System - Guides Roomba to clean the entire room&lt;br /&gt;• Bagless Bin - Large capacity bin, easy to empty&lt;br /&gt;• Edge Cleaning - Spinning side brush cleans along walls and in corners&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" class="reviewtitle"&gt;What a kick in the pants.&lt;img name="pngImage" class="custReviewStars" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" alt="5" height="11" width="56" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just watching this thing work is worth more that the price of the unit, and it reaLLY WORKS thats what the kick in the pants is about. I keep following it around the house an so far havent got tired of doing so, about the the time I think it dosent know what its doing it figures out what Im thinking and goes about cleaning up the area, cat hair and all, Im quite sure it dosent clean DEEP down like my kurby will but by the way I have to empty out the collector box it is sure picking up a whole hell of a lot and I dont have to push it around. Which my poor bad back really appreciates. Well worth the price just be sure and get the park station, it make it so much better, (set it and forget it) as some commercial goes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;span class="reviewtitle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;roomba&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img name="pngImage" class="custReviewStars" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star40_tpng.png" alt="4" height="11" width="56" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very cool li'l vacuum. It is a bit scuffed up, and the charge only lasts 1 1/2 hours compared to the 2 hrs the manuals says it should run. It doesn't take 7 hrs to charge though, only about 3-4, which is good. A few tips - pick up the dust ruffles, and remove any throw rugs (it hates those). It also doesn't like the sliding door track or curtains that hit the floor. It pushes my cats' food bowls around. Recommend buying another virtual wall, this unit only comes with one.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;span class="reviewtitle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Best Purchase I Ever Made&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img name="pngImage" class="custReviewStars" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" alt="5" height="11" width="56" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I purchased a remanufactured Roomba, and I could not be happier. I was crossing my fingers since some previous reviewers had problems with the item right out of the box, but I encountered no issues. It is fantastic on both my hard flooring and carpeting, but it seems to have problems going between the two. I just make sure that the area it's working with only has one type of flooring and problem solved! I am a huge fan of my Roomba and have recommended it to all my friends and family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000FIR48S/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;Shop &amp;amp;

She was not able to vacuum her home anymore and would not let anyone help with her housework. He absolutely loves her Roomba but the battery died and she didn't let us know. After a visit, I noticed the problem and ordered the new battery. The Roomba works like new and she's very happy. The Amazon site made the purchase simple and the delivery was quick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00022HZ04/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shop &amp;amp; Read more information &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-6071254534247408700?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6071254534247408700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=6071254534247408700&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6071254534247408700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6071254534247408700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/irobot-roomba-aps-4905-battery.html' title='iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-4246665169733282265</id><published>2008-01-05T07:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-05T07:21:08.315-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iRobot'/><title type='text'>iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000UUBCNO/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41yMqVZjCOL.jpg" alt="iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000UUBCNO/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Product Description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaning Robot cleans routinely so you don't have to. Clean when and where it's most convenient for you. Schedule Roomba to clean whenever you want freshly cleaned floors every day. Roomba efficiently navigates and vacuums the entire floor, under and around furniture and floors. Virtual Wall Lighthouses confine and guide Roomba from room to room, then direct it to the Home Base to recharge between cleanings. Reaches deep into your carpet to remove dirt, dust and pet hair Efficiently cleans the whole floor, under and around furniture and along walls Automatically adjusts to vacuum carpets and hard floors Senses dirtier areas and cleans more thoroughly in those spots Simple to use, just press the Clean button&lt;br /&gt;Product Details&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Amazon Sales Rank: #157 in Kitchen &amp;amp; Housewares&lt;br /&gt;* Color: Black&lt;br /&gt;* Brand: iRobot&lt;br /&gt;* Model: 560&lt;br /&gt;* Released on: 2007-08-30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Vacuuming robot picks up dirt and debris with the touch of a button&lt;br /&gt;* Easy-to-empty bagless dustbin; fine-filtration system traps allergens&lt;br /&gt;* Anti-tangle technology; gentle-touch bumper system; built-in cliff sensors&lt;br /&gt;* Self-charging Home Base, 2 Virtual Wall Lighthouses, an extra filter, and more included&lt;br /&gt;* Measures 16-3/4 by 21 by 5 inches; 1-year limited warranty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, and particle filtration, the Roomba 560 vacuuming robot picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris with the simple touch of a button. The powerful unit features innovative spinning side brushes that grab dirt and dust from corners and along wall edges, as well as two high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up pet hair, cat litter, food crumbs, and other debris from floors. The vacuum sucks up the debris and deposits it into a large, easy-to-empty bagless dustbin, and its improved fine-filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit, reducing infiltration into the living environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For added convenience, the vacuum's cleaning head automatically adjusts to transition from wood, tile, and linoleum to carpets and rugs, while improved anti-tangle technology ensures it won't get stuck on cords and rug fringe. If the unit begins to pick up a cord or carpet tassel, it will automatically reverse the direction of its brushes to extract the item. A gentle-touch bumper system senses obstacles so the vacuum automatically slows its approach, gently touches the obstacle, then redirects to continue cleaning under or around the object. Because it cleans under beds, couches, and other hard-to-reach areas, it actually vacuums more of the floor than a standard upright. The vacuum also senses dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them, and it uses built-in cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other drop-offs. In addition, invisible barriers can be set using the unit's Virtual Wall Lighthouse system. To mark off-limit areas, simply place a Virtual Wall at a doorway or other opening and adjust the infrared beam setting to the distance of the opening. The unit automatically detects the beam and will not cross it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vacuuming robot returns to its self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge between cleaning cycles or when the battery starts to run low. Its advanced power system consists of a fast-charging battery, a three-hour charger, and a power source that supercharges the unit for up to 120 minutes of continuous cleaning, covering about three to four average-size rooms on a single charge. Other accessories include two Virtual Walls Lighthouses, a brush cleaning tool, and an extra filter. The vacuuming robot measures 16-3/4 by 21 by 5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;IRobot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer service is a nightmare I would consider ordering this from another company! I would buy just not from IRobot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Roomba Customer Service&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 560 is a nice unit. It requires a lot of maintenance, because I own three large dogs. However, The unit has yet to fail me. The problem with Roomba is their customer service. First , the cryptic phone tree .... trying to get to a customer support person. Keep hitting 0 for operator and don't give up! I was on hold for 23 minutes. ANY RESPONSIBLE COMPANY WOULD MAKE A 24 HOUR TOLL FREE HOT LINE DIRECT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AVAILABLE. When someone spends that much money on a robot of any type, they should not hide behind email support, forums and blah, blah, blah.... Very bad impression. I am so sorry, but to be successful in business today you need to support your products and yes, believe it or not PAY to provide customer support. And please, I mean English speaking support, not someone from India or whatever. Even live chat works of support has to come from overseas... To be fair the girl I finally reached was very friendly and said that the Holidays has put a huge strain on their support program. OH WELL..... what a shame. The girl spoke fluent English and was very helpful. Lord I hope this gets to the higher ups at ROOOOOMBA ..... They need to hear this info. Otherwise, I like the product , and think it has a real future for those that hate to sweep up dog hair. Happy New Year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It's a godsend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We got a Roomba because we need to vacuum twice a week due to allergies. Our old vacuum was heavy and we ended up going to the chiropractor often, so we finally decided to fork over the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of those things that you get and say to yourself, "WHY didn't we get this earlier?" It vacuums nicely. The brush picks up the stuff in the edges. It's quiet enough that I can take a nap in another room (or in the same room when I'm really tired). It's more noisy on bare floors, though still nothing compared to a Eureka or (even worse) a Hoover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some things I was surprised to find out (perhaps a drawback for some):&lt;br /&gt;-It takes a long time to finish a room (about an hour). It's very thorough.&lt;br /&gt;-I have to recharge the battery after two rooms. I divide up the vacuuming into two days. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.&lt;br /&gt;-It's bagless, so the person with allergies may not want to be the one emptying it.&lt;br /&gt;-You should dock it using the "dock" button. I put it in the dock and after a few times I got an error message. It was easy to find the remedy online using their website.&lt;br /&gt;-Filters are $19.99 for 3. The box comes with one replacement filter, which we used after one month because the Roomba vacuumed some places that hadn't been vacuumed in ages (under the bed, under the bathroom cabinet). The new filter has lasted a while.&lt;br /&gt;-It goes from carpet to bare floor and over rugs just fine.&lt;br /&gt;-We didn't get the extra lighthouses (due to cost), so we section off rooms using dining chairs.&lt;br /&gt;-Works great with pets. It bumped into my dog and changed directions. My dog doesn't mind it at all. It's also GREAT at picking up all the short pet fur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, I highly recommend this vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B000UUBCNO/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Shop Now &amp;amp; more Information&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-4246665169733282265?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4246665169733282265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=4246665169733282265&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4246665169733282265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/4246665169733282265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/irobot-560-roomba-vacuuming-robot-black.html' title='iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-2577398062045622898</id><published>2008-01-04T21:27:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T21:29:45.099-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Upright Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31X2TTBCMZL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 111px; height: 459px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31X2TTBCMZL.jpg" alt="Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B00020BQGK/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hoover S2220 "Flair" Bagless Powered Nozzle cleans your floors easily, comfortably and completely.

I read the Consumer Reports assesment that gave two Kenmore vacuums very high ratings and this Eureka was rated fairly high and was much less expensive. So I purchased it.&lt;br /&gt;As most others have stated, this vacuum: has powerful suction, a useable suction powered stair tool, an inexpensive replace-able bag, a replaceable HEPA filter.&lt;br /&gt;Drawbacks? It is a little heavy. The handle release pedal requires a very heavy push. There is a .5 inch section of the roller (where the belt rides) that leaves a track on the carpet unbrushed.&lt;br /&gt;What I would change: A longer hose would be helpful. Find a place on the vacuum to store the "power paw" as some have called it. The cord reel could be designed to be used more easily (You have to work around any attachments that are stored on the vacuum.).&lt;br /&gt;Hint: The extension tube appeared to be totally unusable until I read in the manual that the tube comes in two parts, nested together at the factory. They were nested so tightly that they appeared to be a single piece until I used a hammer to separate them.&lt;br /&gt;I am hopeful that this unit will hold up better than our previous Eureka, that has been operating with duct tape holding it together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="reviewtitle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;GREAT VACUUM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img name="pngImage" class="custReviewStars" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star40_tpng.png" alt="4" height="11" width="56" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vacuum has a lot of power! I did research and consumer information did recommend this vacuum. However, the vacuum I received from Amazon's supplier did have some mechanical problems. I had to take it to the repair shop within a week of purchase. (Repair cost covered by manufacturer) I am hoping that the bad connection is the only problem that will occur. It is truly an amazing cleaning tool. Amazon is willing to swap it out if I have another problem.&lt;br /&gt;So, don't worry.  Be HAPPY!   And clean your house!  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0009WRKSY/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;Shop Now &gt;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vacuums-store-20/detail/B0009WRKSY/104-0881172-2009508"&gt;Shop Now &gt;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-3217147622560003934?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/3217147622560003934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=3217147622560003934&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3217147622560003934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/3217147622560003934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/eureka-4870gz-boss-smart-vac-upright.html' title='Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-6310562031976200799</id><published>2008-01-04T19:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T19:57:37.918-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Canister Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41G93CQF9YL._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41G93CQF9YL._SS400_.jpg" alt="Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="h1"&gt;Product Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="content"&gt;         &lt;ul style="list-style-type: disc; margin-left: 25px;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bagless cansister vacuum with WindTunnel technology&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;15 Power Nozzle styling has a low profile design for cleaning tough-to-get-at places&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Deluxe Pump Handle design allows for near effortless control and operation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finger-Touch Variable Speed Control provides flexibility in varying suction&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Includes HEPA filter and 1-year warranty&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product Description&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Hoover S3765040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum - Make quick work of cleaning your floors &amp;amp; carpets with this powerful canister vacuum from Hoover.

The other reviews were very helpful so I wanted to give something back. Please understand this review covers the machines ergonomics and functional aspects. Since the machine is new in our home I can not address how well the vacuum will perform after extended periods. First let me say that this purchase came after a lot of research. I compared most brands on the market and and narrowed the field to the hoover and the Dyson. After a trip to the local store I ruled out the Dyson due to its cumbersome design, high price and the series of steps necessary to use the wand and accessories. What a pain!. In addition the beater brush area is very high on Dyson the and would be very difficult to get under furniture and cabinets. Now that said, let it be know that my wife if a vacaholic. The vacuum runs every day in this house. For the last several years we have used a $400 Panasonic machine and we thought it was doing a good job. We were wrong! A first cleaning with this new hoover has returned several cups of dust and dirt from EACH room!!. Really!.This hoover finds dirt that the Panasonic didn't know existed!. The beater bar is very aggressive it will actually pull the head along if you don't restrain it. At this point I think I will just list the pros and cons as that is easier for the reader. The Pros far out weigh the cons on this machine and I think with a few simple changes hover will have the ultimate machine in this line. We are very pleased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;-Incredible suction and very aggressive beater bar.&lt;br /&gt;-Excellent design with a all the controls at your fingers.&lt;br /&gt;-Easy and quick access to wand and tools.&lt;br /&gt;-Automatic cord recoil&lt;br /&gt;-hand held suction powered beater brush&lt;br /&gt;-No bags&lt;br /&gt;-Ease of use&lt;br /&gt;-Nice flexible hose&lt;br /&gt;-convinient handle for carry.&lt;br /&gt;-easy to empty dust bin&lt;br /&gt;-Nice looking machine&lt;br /&gt;-Good value for the price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;-Not all the tools store on the unit.&lt;br /&gt;-No electronic dirt sensor.&lt;br /&gt;-brush and wand attachments are small are poorly designed.&lt;br /&gt;-Brush has very short stiff bristle that not serve well on blinds, ceiling fans. etc&lt;br /&gt;-The cord is bit stiff and doesn't seem to match the quality of the rest of the vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;-Dust bin has to be emptied some what frequently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;By Window Shopper "Kyla" (NC)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This vacuum is absolutly wonderful!!! I researched for days upon days to the point where people were calling it an obsession ;) This seemed to be the most logical choice. I decided on canister vacuum though I have never had one because I have a large kitchen and I wanted to do the lanolium in there with ease. Well this does the job. I have burber throughout the rest of the house and this vacuum cleans it like a champ! I wanted bagless because I hate the cost and hassel of bags. This is the first REAL vacuum Ive bought. Others have been dirt devils lol. I got this with free shipping at the buzz electronics for 193.99! Mine is model S3765-040 But I cant find the difference between this one and mine. Mine has the attachement with the brushes in it too. This is the only place I could find the model they have listed. So if you want a GREAT vacuum this is the one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-6310562031976200799?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6310562031976200799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=6310562031976200799&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6310562031976200799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/6310562031976200799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/hoover-s3765-040-windtunnel-electronic.html' title='Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945296717853231751.post-2719364574040700757</id><published>2008-01-04T19:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T19:25:23.559-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Upright Vacuum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hoover'/><title type='text'>Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31FFQXGKD7L._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31FFQXGKD7L._SS500_.jpg" alt="Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;   Hoover, 12A, Bagged Tempo Upright, Allergen Filtration, Filter Bag Check, Headlight, 15" Cleaning Width, Includes Attachments.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tempo WidePath features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most. Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air. A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn't leave anything behind. A brilliant headlight illuminates the cleaning path to ensure thorough vacuuming. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach. A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty. Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Zen Williston (Heavenly Valley, NV United States)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the rave reviews here on amazon and on other sites, I was not expecting much with such a low price. My expectations were certainly rewarded with an amazing value, a great vacuum, and the usual Amazon speedy delivery. It is really hard to believe that such a good product could be so inexpensive, even if it is made in Mexico. The build quality is excellent. However, for someone tall, like me, (6'4") the handle is not long enough, the bag is on the small side, and the unit is noisy (but not any more so than other vacuums I have had that were 3x the price), but those are the only negatives after a week of use. Instead of smelling dust while vacuuming, the air coming out of the vacuum is actually fresher and cleaner smelling than the air in the room. Searching amazon, one can find belts for $3 or less and bags less than $1 in quantity, so the unit should be inexpensive to operate. If I get five years out of the unit, I will be more than satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/945296717853231751-2719364574040700757?l=vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/feeds/2719364574040700757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=945296717853231751&amp;postID=2719364574040700757&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2719364574040700757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/945296717853231751/posts/default/2719364574040700757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vacuums-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/hoover-u5140-900-tempo-widepath-bagged.html' title='Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum'/><author><name>john</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
