Bissell : 31063 FeatherWeightTM Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a good working, and affordable vac to clean up my small college dorm room's carpet (It's not a very plush carpet). This vac surprised me! So far it's been working out fantastic! The long handle is detachable and so is the top head so you can convert it into the familiar dust buster. It's small enough to store under a bed in a dorm room. It has a pointed wand attachment too. This certainly isn't something you would want to use as a main vac for a house, but it's great for the dorm. The cord length seems to work great for my 16'x12' dorm room--so it does NOT operate as a cordless, so no worries about the battery dying out on you. It's bagless so the canister has to be emptied...
which brings me to my only complaint about it... everything seems to get stuck to the filter... hair, dust and dirt... so it's not just a matter of emptying the canister. You have to pick everything off the filter, and it has a tendency to get inverted so you have to pull it out to clean it good. So my suggestion is to clean it over an open trash can... and for the dust you just can't seem to pick off, use a lint roller on the filter and it seems to clean it up well. (which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5)
Otherwise, great vac for the price paid (Approximately $20 at Wal-mart).

Electrolux Ergorapido Bagless Cordless 2-in-1 Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner (Tangerine) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i bought this item at a Best Buy and it seemed nice with the swivel features and the cool colors. so i brought it home and let in charge for a day (after i assembled it). i tried it out. i love the removable mini vacuum. but the battery only lasts for about 15 minutes. and its contents fall out once you've finished vacuuming, which is quite unfunctional. i like this vacuum otherwise, but i decided to return it. :( hope this helped some of you decide.

Dirt Devil BD20010 Sonic Sweep Sweeper, red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Dirt Devil Sonic Sweep cordless electric carpet sweeper is not a vacuum cleaner. It uses a rapidly rotating brush and "sonic sweep" vibrations to loosen dirt in carpet. The sonic sweep feature can be turned off when the sweeper is being used on bare floors. It is very light and easy to maneuver. It weighs just a few pounds and it's not more than about a foot wide. It looks like a nicely designed play vacuum cleaner for children, except that it has a full length handle. It is a simple machine with no filters to replace or clean. The dirt tray is very easy to empty. The huge surprise was how well this thing worked, when it worked at all. I bought one and used it a few times durng the next week or two. It didn't do as good a job as my upright vacuum, but it came remarkably close, with about a tenth the effort. But then it died. A part came loose and fell off. I returned the sweeper and got another. That one didn't last ten minutes! It is a shame, because this would be a very useful convenient sweeper if it were reliable. As it is, I have to give up on it and advise people to avoid it.

Dirt Devil M083414 Extreme Power Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having just put tile throughout the house, and living with 3 dogs and 2 cats, I hated hauling out the heavy vacuum and plugging it in. And then unplugging and plugging again and again all the while dragging it around the house.. This little wonder does the whole house, is light and does the job. The only complaint I could possibly have is that the dirt cup is quite small and has to be emptied frequently. This, of course, would vary depending on how much animal hair accumulates on ones floor.

I would heartily reccommend this device because of it's ease of use, lack of weight and powerful suction.
I love it and could sell them door to door they are so great.

Eureka 169B Quick Up Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was pleasantly surprised at the ability of this little vac to pick up pet hair. Removing the handle is accomplished easily to facilitate cleaning pet hair from furniture. The vac can be operated with the revolving brush on or off by selecting the appropriate setting at the switch.
It's great for small quick cleanups on carpet or cleaning bare floors. Make no mistake, this is not a replacement for a full-size, full-power vac. As a test I used this product on a section of heavy-traffic carpet that went two weeks without cleaning. It picked up the pet hair fairly well and filled it's dust cup. I then cleaned the same section with a new Bissel Cleanview Bagless upright (I've also written a review for the Bissel). The Bissel picked up enough pet hair, dust and dirt to fill the Eureka's dust cup several times. The dust cup on the Eureka is easy to remove but messy to empty and tapping it to remove the dust results in dust flying everywhere.
Keeping in mind what it's designed for, I give the Eureka Boss Superbroom 4 stars. If you have lots of carpeting in your home, don't even consider this to be your primary vac. As a primary vac I would give it only one star.

Shark Cordless Power Sweeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because I am obsessive about my floors and I used to vacuum every day. I wanted to be able to have the carpet look nice all the time without dragging out the big vacuum. This product works and meets my need. However, I bought it in March and it is now June and it seems a bit worn out. It was quiet and now it is loud. It sounds like it is breaking down....it doesnt hold a charge as long anymore but it still works. My baby is crawling now and it keeps all the little choking hazards up. I feel like it won't last much longer but I am thankful I have it right now.

Factory-Reconditioned Shark V1725 Quick-and-Quiet 10-Inch-Path Cordless Sweeper, Colors may vary Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For all of you reading this, understand as previously stated, this is a SWEEPER not a VACUUM!! Works extremely well for picking up things you would normally have to get a whiskbroom and dustpan for. It is QUIET, it is not for sweeping the whole carpet or hard surface floor, (although you could) It is for a quick pick up for dust bunnies, hair and spilled items such as cereal in those hard to reach areas. I would definitely recommend this to all!! Biggest thing is, you have to understand it is a sweeper, and a darn good one!! Also make sure that you charge it for 24 hours on your first charge. If you read the booklet that comes with it, you won't have any problems with it. I guess what I am trying to say is... you just need to be a little bit smarter than the sweeper!!

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.

Oreck Commercial PR8000 Oreck Rechargeable Sweeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have two kids under age 3 and a cat, so we have plenty of food, cat litter, and fur to pick up. This little vac is extremely quiet and lightweight, and picks up even cat litter and cooked rice! It does not clean the edges near the wall or corners well; that is its only drawback. I end up having to use a broom to sweep the edges and corners into the middle of the room. Most of our messes are in the main part of the floor, so it is not a huge deal to us. We have had it for two weeks and use it daily and are still on the initial battery charge. I also like the adjustable length of the handle since my husband and I are both tall.
So far, it has been a great purchase. It sure makes cleanup fast and easy.

Electrolux Pronto 2-in-1 Stick Vac - EL1000A Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this relatively pricey combo vacuum with the hopes of replacing two other devices: our cordless Dustbuster and corded Hoover Stick Broom. Unfortunately the Electrolux usually sits in it charger unused as it just doesn't perform well.
PROS: looks great, lightweight, very maneuverable around and under furniture, charging base has handy light that doubles as nightlight
CONS: very weak suction, clogs easily, design flaws for removable handheld, tends to scatter dirt instead of collecting it
We have 100% hardwood floors and tile/linoleum throughout the house, and our hope was to find a cordless upright that we could use for quick jobs of sucking up pet hair and dirt around entryway doors, etc. At first glance the Electrolux seemed the perfect fit: it was cordless but could be used on floors without having to bend over, and for tight spot jobs the removable handheld unit would negate the need for our Dustbuster. Unfortuntely it just doesn't perform well at all. Even for light hair and dirt jobs the upright clogs far too easily. There is a piece of flexible tubing leading from the bottom of the vacuum to the handheld unit (the handheld snaps into place near the base and actually does the suction), and the angle of this narrow, flexible tubing is about 90 degrees and the smallest leaf or twig causes a clog. If the tubing is completely clear the suction is decent enough for very lightweight sweeping, but even at that point the spinning brush in the base of the upright unit tends to throw small debris aside before the suction can pull it up into the bag (for example, I've tried using it to clean up light amounts of stray litter debris around the cat box but it tends to just throw the litter around the floor instead of sucking it up). I find that compared to the Hoover I have to go over the same floor area with several more sweeps to and fro to get all of the hair and dirt.
Other annoyances include the inability to empty the dirt collector without removing the handheld from the upright. Also the handheld power button will not stay in an On position without holding it tightly with a finger or thumb (when using as an upright the power will stay on by itself). The mouth opening of the handheld is also much smaller than your typical Dustbuster and even for small jobs takes several more sweeps back and forth to collect the same amount of dirt of just a few sweeps with a Dustbuster.
So overall I find myself using our two older vacuums and even going to the added trouble of putting an extension cord on the Hoover to do general house vaccuming instead of even bothering to pull the Electrolux out of its stand. Even though it's cordless it just seems to take longer and more effort to get the same amount of work done. It's basically not much more than an expensive nightlight for our laundry room. I really wish I had the good experience with it I seem to see other Amazon users reporting, but alas I cannot honestly say I feel this device delivers anywhere near what it promises.

Shark Retractor Stick Vacuum - EP604 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to clean my laminate wood floors. I wanted something that wouldn't kill my back, was light weight, and didn't tear up my floor. This fits the bill. It is not as powerful as my upright Hoover but it's more convenient. The cord retracts which is nice. It has onboard tools and in a flash I can get into the corners and baseboards with the hose. It picks up pretty good but lint gets stuck on the little bottom wheels. Also, it is ESSENTIAL the filter be cleaned often otherwise it doesn't pick up well. The filter is easy to clean; I just take it out back and hose it off. I paid $50 for it and think it's worth it. Just be sure and clean the filter and don't expect a regular vaccum in this little guy.

Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Stick & Hand Vac, EL1012A 1 ea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the most INCREDIBLE stick vac and hand vac! I really LOVE it! I am used to my Kirby and while I adore it, I was really curious about this item. My opinion is that Electrolux has a wonderful reputation and paired with the potentially extreme convenience I decided to give this a try. I have 2 babies, 2 kitties, hardwood floors throughout with some ceramic tile and a couple of area rugs. This item is fabulous on each and every surface! I use it on all floor surfaces, rugs, furniture, even bedding (ie: kitties go under the bed leaving their fur on the dust ruffles) with great results! It will pick up kitty hair, remodeling dust, new rug shedding, cheerios, and more! I've seen gripes about emptying the 'chamber' and, in my opinion, if you don't want your stick vac to pick up debris - find a cheaper stick vac! This one is absolutely wonderful, worth every penny and then some! Buy It!

Oreck Floor Sweeper: The Restaurateur 12.5" Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my wife for her birthday. Stop laughing, she asked for one of these things. I looked at Bissell, Fuller Brush, Oreck/Hoky, Ewbank and some of the battery powered units. My wife specifically did not want to deal with remembering to charge and battery life issues. I found that everything I looked at was using older NiCad technology rather than Li Ion or Polymer Li Ion meaning they would all suffer from memory effect and degraded performance. Scratch those. So, it came down to the 125 year old technology invented by Mr. Bissell circa 1875. Bissell and Fuller have stuck with the tried and true roller with bristles like a hair brush. Hoky, now owned by Oreck has innovated with a roller that uses a series of plastic blades to replace the bristles. It's supposed to allow the unit to deal with wet stuff as well as dry stuff. Also, the rubber squeegee blades allow for easier removal of hair and other long fibers that can get embedded in bristles.
Does it work? Yeah, amazingly well. But let me be perfectly clear. This thing produces zero suction. It is not a vacuum cleaner. It works purely by mechanical action provided by.....you. Some reviews of the Bissell unit appeared to reflect the buyers belief that somehow this sort of device will replace a vacuum with suction and a powered beater bar. It won't! But for a quick cleanup of surface litter after mealtime prep and eating with 2 - 3 kids at the table, it's fantastic. And once again, it's powered by you and it relies on mechanical action. You need to give it a brisk push. More brisk = more results. You can't just slowly move it over the offending material and expect good things to happen. Grab that sucker and get aggressive with those crumbs.
So far, we've used it on hardwood floors and an persian wool carpet in the kitchen. It does well on both. I'm surprised that another reviewer found that it didn't pick up hair. I sprinkled a bunch of Cheerios on the persian rug to test it and ended up with carpet fibers, hair, and a bunch of other stuff I hadn't even seen on the carpet. So why only four stars? The price. I think [...]is a little steep considering the basic technology is more than 100 years old and the materials are basically plastic and a little steel. The Bissell can be bought for less than a third of this price. But, for the extra money you get an easy to clean roller that also deals with wet sloppy stuff.
Highly recommended.

Eureka 166DX Boss Lightweight Stick Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here's my situation. I have a cat box in my bathroom and I really didn't like sweeping the kitty litter up every day - the broom would kick up dust and I would invariably miss a bit of kitty litter.
I needed something small, light that I could drag out and buzz around the bathroom (hard surface) with. This fits the bill perfectly. It's not exactly quiet, but not too bad either.
I don't like the rechargeable stick vacs because my closet doesn't have a power outlet and I really don't want to leave it out and look at the thing. In addition, corded stick vacs tend to be more powerful and don't run down, but you do have to put up with a cord.
This stick vac is basically a dustbuster with a telescopic handle and a detachable (bare) floor nozzle. It is not going to compete with a regular vacuum, but for light cleanup (e.g. kitty litter) it works just fine. I also use it on the low-pile carpeting just outside the bathroom door to pick up any stray kitty litter and it gets most of it. I don't think you'd want to use it on thicker pile carpeting or for large areas especially considering the floor nozzle has no brush roller - it really is designed for hard floors.
It does what I need -- no more kicking up dust and no more kitty litter in the bathroom (I use it every day). I am happy with my purchase.

Shark 2-in-1 Cordless Stick Vac and Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, SV800\VX63 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cordless vac is wonderful & so easy to use. Incredible suction. I use it to vacuum kitchen--it gets under the cabinets and picks up everything--I have a lot of dog hair. Also use it on my door mats and around them on the patio. Just don't try to pick up anything big. I also use it on my carpet for little jobs. I like not having to get out my Dyson, plug it in, etc. just for small jobs. It is very easy to empty filter and pop back in. I like that it is 2 in 1 and easy to take apart and use as a hand vac with the little attachment.

Hoover LINX Cordless Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery, 18-Volt, BH50000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Based on a phone call to Hoover: If you want your battery to last and work properly do not store the battery on the charger or in the vacuum. Fully charge the battery and use it in the vacuum. If the battery runs out, fully charge it again (3 hours and a light on the charger will pulse when ready) and then store it separately. If the battery has not run out you can choose to recharge it so it fully loaded (again, take it off the charger when the light pulses) and then store it separately. Since a full charge only takes 3 hours an overnight charge is not recommended.

Swiffer SweeperVac Starter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i thought this was going to be the perfect solution for the daily dust that accumulates on my hardwood floors. initially, i was impressed. the swiffer seemed to pick up a lot of the dust. however, i was bothered by the plastic "vacuum" part, as it sometimes can scratch the floor if you're not careful. as another member wrote, it would have helpful if they would have put some rubber or something over the plastic vacuum part.
as the months passed, i found that the vacuum didn't seem to pick up as much as it used to. i do clean the filter regularly (which is a dusty mess each time you do it), so i don't know what's going on. frankly, the vacuum just isn't strong enough for what i need it to do anymore. i've reverted back to my regular "super-strength" vacuum to get the job done.
pros:
* lightweight
* easy to use
* works great for very light jobs
* small and easy to store
cons:
* vacuum not as strong as i'd like - more powerful motor would be great.
* plastic vacuum part in front can scratch floors if you're not careful
* cleaning the filter can be messy and can require you to swiffer the floor right after cleaning the filter!

Electrolux EL1014A ErgoRapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cordless stick vac is lightweight, compact, and has an appealing design and color! It has a convenient base station, and has a built-in hand vac. The filter is easy to clean and has not only an easy to empty canister, but also a "twang" feature that helps you rid the filter of dust without soiling your hands. Awesome! The stick vacuum cleans my 850 square foot condo (all hardwoods) in a single charge, with charge to spare for using the hand vac on upholstery. (I haven't had to use it on carpet or in larger settings, so can't speak about it's performance there). It's compact, perfect for apartment-dwellers or for use in designated smaller areas of a larger home like kitchen, foyer, pet areas, etc. And frankly, I think it's adorable and LOVE the orange color - - very cheery when you're doing mundane work like vacuuming :)
People should have reasonable expectations of what a stick vac can do. A stick vac will never have the suction and power of a regular-sized vacuum, and you shouldn't expect it to! I keep a neat home, and vacuum once a week with my "regular" vacuum, a powerful, full-sized bagless upright with HEPA filtration that works great, but is kind of cumbersome and heavy to use everyday.
I use the ErgoRapido just for daily use in between "real" vacuumings, to keep my place neat and tidy everyday, free of cat hair/litter, crumbs in the kitchen, dirt tracked in the foyer from shoes, etc. - - and it works AWESOME for this purpose. I wouldn't expect it to do the job of a corded, full-size vacuum - - but it's awesome for everyday use to clean up little messes and dusty areas here and there.
I've owned other stick vacs in the past, and been disappointed with their performance (Dirt Devil "Vac-n-Mop" = TERRIBLE!). But this product so far is much better! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a maneuverable, easy-to-use and sleek vacuum for light-duty work or cleaning in between "regular" vacuuming.
