Eureka Pet Lover Canister Vacuum Cleaner 3684F Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this vacuum very much. It is small and light weight and has a longer than usual suction tube. We have mostly hard floors and the attachment for that works very well. Unlike others I've had in the past that just rattle over the surface ineffectively, this one actually works. I have had trouble with the wand detaching from the tube part and the attachment brush doesn't pivot on the wand, but these are small issues and I have adapted. Definitely worth the money.

LG Kompressor Upright Vacuum, Bagless, Blue, LuV300B Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, this is going to be somewhat complicated, because the vacuum cleaner itself is somewhat complicated. It tries to be a combination of both an upright and a canister vacuum by use of a removable "wand," which forms the backbone of the vacuum.
UPRIGHT MODE:
When you use it as an upright, it works pretty darn well. It removed an amazing amount of grit and other debris from my carpet that my last vacuum completely failed to remove. Now, the unit does have a safety feature, wherein the spinning brushes stop spinning if the top is too upright, and that is a little too sensitive for me. That is to say, sometimes I pull the unit back towards my foot, only to have it stop spinning. Nonetheless, that is a minor complaint - in general the vacuum worked wonders.
CANISTER MODE:
When you remove the "wand" you have an already attached (after your initial assembly) but removable pet hair turbine, which looks like a miniature upright, and you can extend the wand to get to the ceiling (for cobwebs) or the top of the drapes. The turbine doesn't bend easily for use on drapes, but that's OK, you can remove it and use a different attachment for those. My biggest problem with the wand is reattaching it to the base. Unless I am doing something wrong, I always find it just a little hard to get it in correctly on the first try, and if you don't get it in correctly you can't secure the wand and return to upright mode. It doesn't take more than a couple of seconds to reattach, but I do wish it was even easier. Nonetheless, I had no trouble using the wand in its various modes, and thought that it did a great job on my stairs (especially), ceilings and drapes.
By the way, the hose on this vacuum stretches out quite nicely, meaning that you are not too tightly tethered to the base.
EMPTYING:
A very nice feature of this vacuum is that it is bagless. Now, I had a bagless vacuum once before, and I hated it because it never seemed to get completely clean. The tank on this unit removes quite easily, and empties with the push of a button, then you just click it back in. I checked all of the parts of the tank, and found that the unit does a very good job of keeping itself clean. I must say I was very pleased.
CORD:
Cords can be a problem. Fortunately, this vacuum has a 40 foot cord, which means that I can plug it in and then vacuum my front room, foyer, kitchen and mudroom without ever having to move the plug. I like that. If you have a small house, on the other hand, you might find the long cord a bit of a nuisance. Personally, I don't see why they can figure out a way to have a removable cord, like a computer has, so that you can go with a longer one or a shorter one. But, for me the 40 footer is quite nice, and I have no complaints about it.
CONCLUSION:
As for me, I found this to be a really great vacuum cleaner, easy to use, and very versatile. I was tempted to take away one star for the problem I have with reattaching the wand and the spinning issue, but in truth those are minor quibbles. The fact is that when I put my cursor over the fifth star, it says, "I love it." And, in point of fact I do. I think that this is a great vacuum and I am very glad that I got it. I highly recommend this unit.

Filtrete Dirt Devil 12 Belt, 2 Belts Per Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this belt is a little too small. It is pulling the brush onto the plastic fixtures of the vacuum to the point that when I ran the vacuum for 90 seconds, part of the brush was melted away from rubbing against the guides. Hard to explain, but I know I'm never buying another belt unless it's made by the vacuum manufacturer--certainly never this kind.

Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Anniversary Edition, Bagged, S3670 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a Hoover carpet shampooer recently, and was very pleased with performance and quality, so naturally I looked at Hoover's line of vacuums. The price for the canister was a bit much, I thought---but I liked the idea of the freedom it offered, having had uprights for the last 10 years. My first impression was that the quality of the plastic wasn't there, so only 3 stars--for example, if you open the top to reveal the two small attachments (the other two: floor/brush and upholstery won't fit anywhere), the lid seems like it wouldn't take much pressure to accidently snap it off. Also, when it arrived, the plastic window covering wasn't attached--no problem, it snapped right in---but it left me with an unsettled feeling about my purchase. The good news is that it's pretty easy to roll, the handle is adjustable, and for the first time in ages I can actually vacuum under my bed :) I also like the way the canister secures the handle; it doesn't take much more room than the upright. The suction is good, as I haven't seen my carpet's nap in a while; it's around 5 years old. Overall, I think if it were priced a little less or the plastic was more durable, I'd feel better...but with both Hoover products, my carpet is looking more like its old 'new' self.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From 3 Stars to 1: About 8 months to a year after the purchase, the retractable cord started to have issues, and there seemed to be a power-connection problem too. This year the handle (or wand), which was my favorite feature because it moves up and down has broken somewhere, and it won't hold a new position. Suction isn't good anymore, and the bag changing is frequent and messy. Finally, while initially I felt it gave me more freedom in ease of use, it actually is a royal pain to maneuver anywhere: frequently tips over, and pivotal hose difficult to pivot.
UPDATE Nov 2010: I purchased a Shark Navigator in October, with a Square Trade Warranty---and feel LOTS better about it. The Hoover is now my husband's choice for vacuuming out the cars.

Eureka 3684F Pet Lover Mighty Mite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Mighty Mite is a decent vacuum cleaner, especially for the money. I've been through 3 vacuums in 2 years, and I know junk when I see it now. And, for the most part, the Mighty Mite isn't junk.
Pros: It is very lightweight, has good reach with the telescoping pole, decent suction, and the pet hair attachment seems to work fine on my sofa and rugs. The HEPA filter is a definite plus and my hope is that the quantity of house dust will be seriously lowered. It is easy to move, but could use a longer cord than 20 ft.
Cons: The instructions don't even MENTION the pet hair attachment! The only references are on the box it comes in. The suction is adjusted by a rotating ring on the handle, exactly where you hand goes. So, if you accidentally move it to a more closed position while your hand is there, your skin gets sucked in with it. All the attachments do NOT go on the canister. There is provision for one small attachment and the crevice tool onboard. Everything else has to go elsewhere. Plus there is no easy way to deal with the hoses and telescoping rod. They don't fit together any special way and won't stand up. The power cord winds up underneath the vacuum and the plug should clip on to the cord. But, the clip on the plug doesn't actually fit over the cord. It is too small and too tight and makes indentations deeply into the cord, so you can't really safely use that 'feature'.
Sometimes, you have to wonder if the manufacturer ever even tried out the machine themselves. For example, the reason this is lightweight is that it uses incredible flimsy plastic hose. I suspect you could poke a finger through it if you tried hard enough. And, the canister itself is also plastic. That isn't theoretically bad, but what happens is, in a static-y environment, the hair and dust you are trying to get rid of is attracted to the hose and canister! So, you end up with a cleaner house and a vacuum completely covered in hairs and dust. That 'feature' isn't mentioned on the box...
Overall, I like this, in spite of all the negatives. Longevity is a bit of concern for the tools and hose, but it has suction, the disposable bag makes for a cleaner house, it is very easy to carry up and down the stairs and has a long enough reach to reach everywhere in my old house. I'm going to keep it...
