Panasonic MCUG471 Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Panasonic MCUG471 Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm glad to be back with Panasonic.I had a Panasonic vacuum that lasted at least fifteen years.Less than two years ago, in the process of blowing insulation into the walls, from the inside of the house, my beloved vacuum died.Needing one quick, I went to Consumer Reports, and, based on their recommendations, purchased an Eureka Boss.BIG MISTAKE!Pain to use, tired of getting hit in the leg with the hose, when not in use.When you needed to use the hose, you had to stop what you were doing, move the dial -- hose -- then move the dial back to vacuum regular.Tools falling off.You get the picture.Hated to have to vacuum!

Even though I take good care of my things (especially now a days, when nothing seems to last), the Boss broke in two, less than two years later.So, I came back to Panasonic and am VERY HAPPY I DID.

The UG471 is GREAT!

I have two non-stop shedding Siberian Huskies.This vacuum works great picking up their hair on hard wood floors and on carpeting.The tools, especially the hose, stay on board, when not in use and there is a place for all the tools on the vacuum.Retractable cord -- lovely!

The only downfalls I would site -- needs a longer cord (but it seems every manufacturer has shorten them to 30 feet.And a "grab" place on the front, for when you do not want to use the "power paw" when vacuuming stairs.

Excellent buy/value.Next up, a new Panasonic answering machine.Goodbye crappy Uniden (another terrible Consumer Reports recommendation!).

Product Description:
Equipped with a powerful yet quiet 12 amp motor, this upright vacuum cleaner provides exceptional cleaning results and improved indoor air quality. The unit automatically adjusts to the proper setting for just about any carpet height, while its HEPA filtration system captures 99.97-percent of dust, allergens, and small particles, so only clean air gets expelled into the home. The vacuum's motor-protection system channels dust and dirt particles directly into the vacuum bag, promoting long life and more efficient cleaning for the fan and motor. Quickdraw tools rest in a side holster on the vacuum, ready for immediate use. The included stretch hose, two standard wands, dusting brush, and crevice tool ensure fast, powerful, above-floor cleaning. Connect the dusting brush or crevice tool to the vacuum's 12-1/2-foot attachment for easier access to hard-to-reach spots. Other highlights include an ergonomic handle, a foot-step handle release, a headlight, a 15-inch cleaning path, an integrated carrying handle, and a 24-foot power cord. A single touch activates the cord-rewind mechanism, making storage easy and convenient. The vacuum cleaner measures approximately 12-1/2 by 15 by 44-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

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

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

Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower - Bare-tool Review

Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower - Bare-tool
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This blower is an excellent addition to Makita's LXT lineup of tools.Like all of the LXT tools, the blower is quite powerful, very rugged, lightweight and well thought out.Its small size and very light weight make it all the more useful and portable.It performs the shop duties of an air blow gun without the need of a compressor and hoses.The variable speed function is invaluable from heavy volume in cleaning out the buildup of dust and chips in tablesaws and planers, to the light "dusting off" needed on shelving and drawers (without blowing away the contents).It is equally as impressive on a job site as in the shop.The ability to clean off all the dust on your clothing from working around heavy sawdust, drywall dust etc. - this alone makes the blower a must have.

It would be hard to justify the purchase of this if it were to be the only LXT tool one were buying, given the fact that a charger and battery together will run $100+.But for someone with other LXT tools, already having a charger and batteries, this is definitely a worthwhile investment.The nozzle of the blower (the long black tube) is made of heavy rubber and detaches with a simple twist.This flexible nozzle can readily be flexed (bent) to point the blower into hard to reach areas.The simple "twist to remove" breaks the blower down to ultimate portability.It would almost fit in a toolbox!LXT batteries give it plenty of power and runtime;much more than one would anticipate from a battery powered device.

As far as the vacuum functionality, the nozzle is simply removed from the blower port and twisted onto the air intake port.Then a collection bag (not supplied with blower) is attached to the output to collect the vacuumed debris.However, I found this configuration to be too awkward to be really useful.I did purchase a bag, approx. $16, from a tool supply house, but am not impressed with transformingthis into a vacuum.It would do in a pinch, but certainly not something I could make a habit of.The cloth bag is identical to one found on a Makita belt sander, plate joiner or similar device.If you want one, do an internet search for Makita #122321-1;that is the part number of the dust collection bag. Better yet, Makita has just introduced a new 18v LXT vacuum, quite similar to a dustbuster;the Makita BCL180ZW.I don't have one yet, but am ordering one.It should prove to be another "must have" addition to the LXT tool bag.

For heavy yard usage and constant leaf blowing, a larger electric or gas blower would be more appropriate.But for the other 90% of the time where a portable blower would fit the bill, this Makita is as handy as a shirt pocket.

I bought this blower to replace a 3 yr old weed eater gas blower that was getting really difficult to start. When this blower arrived it was in "like new" condition except that it was not in original packaging. It appears to be very solidly built and well designed. I filled it up with gas, primed it and it started on the second pull. The pull cord is super easy to pull, unlike my old weed eater. The blowing power is strong but not overwhelming, and the engine runs really quietly. I also like the variable speed feature - something my old blower did not have. I have not tried the vacuum feature, but all of the parts are included, including the bag. Overall I am very pleased as this blower is much nicer, quieter, and easier to start than my old weed eater blower.

Black & Decker CS100 12-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper Review

Black & Decker CS100 12-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This unit was very easy to set up.Basically, you slide on the nozzle.Then you attach the unit to the charging base.And you plug the charger into the wall.That's it for setup!

Using the unit is also very easy.There is a single switch on top that you flip and away you go.Since the unit is completely battery operated, there are no cords or gasoline issues to worry about.The whole tool is idiot-proof.

However, with the battery on a full charge, you only have about 15 minutes of full power.After that time, the unit looses charge quickly until it only puts out a small puff of air.By then you're waving the thing around so much you might as well get a broom to do some actual work.

I give this item 5 stars for ease of use, but only 1 star for doing what it's actually intended for, which is blowing.Considering I don't normally buy blowers for any other use, I give it 2 stars overall.

Average Reviews:

I was a bit skeptical about buying this because it only has 3-3/5 volts of power.I had a B&D Dustbuster and it didn't have the power to pick up anymore.I was going to buy a new battery pack for it and found out that I couldn't replace the battery in it.That didn't set too well with me so I looked around for one that I could replace the battery in and I came across this little Eureka model.I have had a big Eureka upright for a long time and I also have a very old Eureka cannister model that still works great, so I know Eureka is good.But I wondered how much power it could have with only 3-3/5 volts.Well let me tell you, it has a lot of power, even more than the Dustbuster.I like the pop up crevice tool also, it's a very convenient feature.The dustbin is very easy to empty and it has a permanent filter that is washable so no extra filters to buy.The charging base is a little awkward.It would be better to have one that it slides into easier, but that's not a big drawback.If you want something to clean up little messes I can recommend this one.I use it all over the house and it's worked like a champ.It's great for those little messes in the kitchen (no liquids though) and also for stairs or the car.

Shark V2022 Cordless Floor & Carper Cleaner - Factory Servic Review

Shark V2022 Cordless Floor & Carper Cleaner - Factory Servic
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this after using an older model of a rechargeable Shark sweeper at my office.The same model was no longer available so I picked this one up at Kohl's when I had a 30% off coupon.I still ended up paying $42.00 (regular price was SIXTY dollars!).

I set up the unit and let it charge the recommended time (24 hours). The battery life was fine. At first, it seemed to work okay in my kitchen picking up crumbs and such.But on carpet it was worthless. The unit just didn't pick up anything.I would have to roll the unit over and over and over the same spot just to get it to pick up the smallest things. And cleaning it was horrible - it was dusty and dirty.Yuck!

I finally gave up and returned it. I considered that maybe I had purchased a defective unit and almost exchanged it.But I decided that it took too long to initially charge it and with all the parts that had to be connected upon set up, I'd rather not mess with it again. Besides, for $60, I expected a LOT better results.I replaced it with a cheap stick vac that has to be plugged in, but it seems to have about twice as much sucking power.

Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Bagless, S3755 Review

Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Bagless, S3755
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product delivers, exactly as advertised. It is good on floors, powerful on carpets, and is also fairly attractive. Although the toggle on-off switch can get annoying, with that same toggle switch you can "dial up" the suction power of the vacuum, which comes in handy often. Onboard tools are easy to reach and easy to attach. The dirt cup, like I imagined, is messy to use and fills up quickly: I'd advise to empty it when you're taking out the garbage so that the dust doesn't float up every time you open up the trash can or throw something away. You can't beat the lifetime HEPA filter; it even comes with a tiny brush to clean it with. Other vacuums (like the Sanyo dirthunter canister) need to have their filters replaced at $15 a pop. The power cord can be retracted using a pedal with your foot - very convenient. The noise level isn't too bad - I wouldn't say it's the most quiet vacuum but I'm willing to handle a little bit of noise for a little more performance. This vacuum rates better than other canisters on carpets and it's really true. It weighs comparably to other canisters and is not too heavy for a small person to easily carry and maneuver. I was looking for a vacuum that would perform well at a lower price, and be easy to use and maintain, with not too much strain on the ears. I am surprised and glad to say that this Hoover delivers.

Amazon made this purchase easy. The store in which I bought my Dirt Devil, a large national chain featuring appliances and linens, stopped carrying filters for bagless vacuum cleaners. Rather than having to run all over town looking for the filter, I came on here and found it right away. Thanks, Amazon!

We recently acquired an property with a lot of leafy trees and this is my first blower. When the shipment arrived, I thought that Amazon shipped the wrong item because it came in a tiny box. Snap the tube on, connect the cord and it's ready to use.

The power switch is somewhat touchy. When trying to select low speed, it is easy to accidentally bump it into high speed. I accidentally blasted away a bunch of bark and made a crater. Oops. During low speed use, it's also easy to accidentally bump the power switch to off.

The power receptacle is mounted on a short cable tail on the back end. I have several other lawn tools that have the receptacle integrated into the shell with a hook to retain the cord and I prefer that arrangement. When you reach the end of the extension cord, it disconnects easily and cuts power. There's also no strain relief so I think that eventually I will be repairing this short section of cord.

Although it looks and feels like a toy, it seems to work well on flat surfaces and bark, but struggles a little with leaves in wet grass. It just takes longer but still gets it done. I also used it to clear the gutters of leaves and it worked well. I removed the tube making it even smaller and lighter. There were a few times when the thrust nearly knocked me off the ladder.

Noise level is excellent, especially on low. Think giant hairdryer. It is much lighter, quieter and not smelly compared to the big gas blowers.

I was originally considering the Toro Ultra, but I was unsure how much vacuuming and mulching I would do and wanted something lighter, less expensive, and less cumbersome.
