Shop-Vac 4050010 Shop Sweep Indoor/Outdoor Vacuum Review

Shop-Vac 4050010 Shop Sweep Indoor/Outdoor Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This little outdoor vacuum works great. It is small enough to maneuver into tight spaces and around objects. Yet, it is powerful enough to do the job. I use it to pick up leaves and other debris from my walkway and large driveway. I was surprised that it even picked up trash on the edge of the unit. The vacuum has two height adjustments so you can set it slightly higher when your pile of fallen leaves is a little too high. The 8 gallon bag blocks most of the dust unlike other outdoor vacuums I have used. If you have 20 trees that drop their leaves in the fall, you will need something much bigger. But, for small to medium walkways and parking lots this vacuum will do the job.

Pros:
Good suction
Light weight
Maneuverable
Picks up along edges

Cons:
A little loud

Shark V1950 Cordless VX3 Carpet & Floor Sweeper Review

Shark V1950 Cordless VX3 Carpet & Floor Sweeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The people at Shark and Euro-Pro cleaning companies have always known how to make so many great products with vacuums, and carpet sweepers. Nevertheless, when it comes down to it, it really is on how well the vacuum really lasts. Shark's previous cordless sweepers have all done a great job at picking up after everyday messes, but they have been some glitches. I was honestly very skeptical with the latest model when I saw it on television, and I liked it a lot, but as I started to use it, I was hoping for just a bit more. Here is my verdict.

The Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper is the latest in Euro-Pro's well-recieved carpet sweeper line. This one does a good job at picking up after pet hair and fuzz, and is very simple to setup. You can pick up actually a lot of pet hair, fuzz, or anything off your floors and carpets. It is easy to charge up, and does really works well. The no-mess dust cup is very simple to clean up, and easily removes all that was picked up from the floors. The vacuum is also very easy to carry around, and take from room to room, without feeling the drag of carrying around your vacuum and getting a backache.

That is what I think, even though there really are a few problems that still make could've been a bit easier to pick up after. The first problem deals with the battery. ou have to really keep the sweeper plugged in to your outelt for at least a day, inorder to fully charge a the battery. The VX3's battery also could've had a bit stronger battery life than just an hour long. The second problem deals with the backsaver feature. While the VX3 does pick up well, and is easy to operate, I had a tricky time manuvering the VX3 with the backsaver handle. While the concept is ingenius at folding the handle to make it easier at picking up under the beds and those hard-to-reach areas, it is honestly a little bit harder to control and steer the sweeper.

Still, despite a few problems with the Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper, I still think it is a very good buy for anyone who wants a easier way to clean up after all those messes on the floor. It just does a great job at really cleaning up your floors and is great for small homes and apartments, or any home that works at a great pace. While you can get this though the As Seen On TV ads, you also can find this at your nearest Macy's for around $70, instead of getting both the VX3 and VX1 models like the infomercial says in its offer for $130. So, suck those problems on the floor away, and try this sweeper out.

Electrolux EL1014A ErgoRapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner Review

Electrolux EL1014A ErgoRapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner
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.

Swivel Sweeper G2 - Replacement Battery Review

Swivel Sweeper G2 - Replacement Battery
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You can never have enough spare batteries. The swivel sweeper is a good product but the battery will die quickly if it's changed longer than 8 hrs at a time. Make sure you completely deplete the battery before recharging, then set a timer to make sure it's not left in the charger. (Or purchase one of the newer battery chargers that automatically shut off.)

Hoover Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle, S2220 Review

Hoover Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle, S2220
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a fantastic little vac.It isn't as loud as my last stick vac and it doesn't scratch my wood floors.The first day I bought it I really put it through the paces.I was impressed with how well it cleans floors, carpets and rugs with fringe.I love the fact that you can turn off the roller to do the fringed rugs and floors.It picked up popcorn and screws easily.Sand and gravel from the kids shoes, no problem.After a rain, the floor got a little muddy from all the kids going in and out so I just turned on the brush and VOILA, the dried mud went right up.
It really does stand on it's own, even on a soft cushy carpet.
The only changes left to make is to lengthen the cord a bit and put a small pull-out nozzle high up on the side so I can use it for practically everything, such as dusting windowsills.I won't let my wish list ruin the review though.5 stars for the best little vac I've had yet.

BISSELL? Steam & Sweep Hard Floor Cleaner Review

BISSELL? Steam & Sweep Hard Floor Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been researching mops, steam mops, wood floor sweepers, etc. for about two months.I have read every pro and con of pretty much everything out there.I have a ton of wood floor and tile in my house and I absolutely cannot stand to clean it.I hate sweeping the wood floor, I hate the debris that flies in the air, I hate bending over with the dust pan, I hate the sticky feeling my swiffer leaves behind, I just overall have hated my floors for 5 years because they never ever feel clean.I had a friend sing the praises of the Shark steam mop the other day, so I finally decided to break down and buy SOMETHING.I didn't even care if it did an excellent job, I just wanted something. But- my one qualification was that it be a combo steamer and sweeper. I just had to solve the sweeping issue at the same time.Which leaves you with pretty much the Bissell or the Shark.I looked at the Shark at Wal-mart and the bottom of it made me laugh. The vacuum hole is like 3 inches wide and has no brush or anything. I was not impressed with that.So I went to Target and picked up the Bissell.And now I want to marry it and become Mrs. Bissell because it is so fantastic.A few things about this machine you might want to know:It has an awesome, LONG strong cord.It has a really cool "dyson-like" ball joint that makes it super easy to manuever.The steam works great, the water tank looks tiny, but it lasts a really long time, it comes with two pads that are thick and strong, it lays completely flat when going under furniture, it fits under the counters in the kitchen, it doesn't leave very muchwater on the floor (I read other complaints of other manchines that leave a ton of water), it dries really fast, it heats up and is ready in 15 seconds or less, it has a clear compartment on top so you can see what debris it is picking up.One caveat- the suction is not super strong, but then again I like my vacuums to sound like a jet engine and suck my skin off if they had the chance, so maybe I am picky. But the brush feature does pick up a lot of stuff. And having the cleaning pad right behind it helps to trap stuff too.So for instance it picked up small leaves, not a band-aid wrapper.It picked up cracker crumbs and bugs, but not a tag to a shirt.The machine is meant to be used with the vacuum and the steamer going simultaneously to save time, however, I like to use just the vacuum and dry cloth to dust mop/vacuum my floors and then activate the steam and do it seperately.But I did use it together and it did okay.Another nice feature is that it is a light and easy machine so you really enjoy using it and don't feel like you are lugging out a Volkswagen to do your chores.I have had it two days and I have been using the vacuum constantly.I love that thing!And once you do an initial clean- the follow-up cleanings are a snap!I finally feel like my floors are clean.It has changed my whole feeling about my house.As far as anything I don't like, you do have to squeeze a trigger for when you want steam and if you are steaming your whole floor then your finger hurts by the end and that is a little annoying.It does also take some upmh! to push it when you are steam cleaning at first.I am sure it gets easier as the floor is cleaner :)Anyway, this machine is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.I highly recommend it!

Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum, Corded, 33A1 Review

Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum, Corded, 33A1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This little sucker is unbelievable. The power is fantastic, the torque from the motor actually makes the vacuum jump in your hand when you flip theon switch.

I have a couch in my basement that is the favorite place for my two cats to sleep. The couch had so much hair on it that the couch looked grey instead of purple. I spent 5 minutes with the pet hair eraser and the couch was literally hair free.The rubber attachment on the front works way better than motorized brushes that quickly clog with hair.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it is a little loud, but I guess with power comes a little extra noise.I love this little vac, why pay all that money for a Dyson when this little guy works great!

Edit: The one and only thing I don't like about the vac is the way the air coming out of the unit sometimes blows the hair into the air if you're not careful how you position the machine while you use it.Although considering how much air this little baby moves and the small size of the unit I'm not sure what could be done to avoid this.

Having had this unit now for just over two years I still say its an amazing machine and I use it quite often.Its still going strong, no problems.
