Dirt Devil Rechargeable Broom Vacuum Review

Dirt Devil Rechargeable Broom Vacuum

Health scare paranoia aside, does the product work? None of the quick-clean floor products substitute for old-fashioned scrubbing on hands and knees. At least, none that I've come across.

But if you appreciate the convenience of a Swiffer-type product and ease of a hand-vacuum, but dislike the cost of Swiffer-type refill papers and the sad limitations of a hand-vac, you might find this a worthwhile quick-fix to the problem of labrador-created dust bunnies and toddler-inspired cracker crumbs.

The Rechargeable Broom Vacuum is just that -- a Dust Buster and broom all in one. Good suction and holds the charge nicely, too. A negative point because unlocking the dirt container from the motor is a bit cumbersome. On the other hand, unlike my hand-vac, I don't actually have to stick my hands into the accumulated 'ick' to empty the container.

Anything to avoid pulling out a vacuum cleaner, this product does exactly what I hoped and expected it would do. It doesn't polish the floors. It doesn't do rugs, curtains or upholstery. And while a broom and dust pan may offer the convenience of operating without an electrical charge, my back doesn't so for that, I give this one a thumb's up.

Eureka 169B Quick Up Vacuum Review

Average 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.

Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum Review

Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum

I wanted a lightweight, compact vacuum to use every evening after dinner on the kitchen floor.Our regular vac was too bulky to pull out for quick jobs, and we didn't have a spot to charge a cordless.I settled on the Featherweight because it was small enough to hang from my mop rack and only cost $20.

This vac is ideal for picking up dust and pet hair on wood or tile floors.However, I've found that with larger, heavier items (such as spilled dog food), the vac often has to be lifted up over the item and placed right down on top of it in order to pick it up; if I just push the vacuum over dog food, it often just pushes the dog food in front of the vacuum head instead of sucking it up.Removing the vac head and using this as a hand vac works much better for picking up dog food and the like.

I've also found that items about the size of a marble (again, spilled dog food) get jammed right behind the plastic shield covering the intake opening of the vac.To remove them I need to jam a stick back there, loosen the item and then pry it out.This is a pain in the neck that I really don't need.

Finally, there's no way to clean the dust off the filter without using your bare hands; this vac really needed just a tiny brush that attached to the unit to make dusting off the filter easier and neater.As it is, after every use I need to pull clumps of dog fur off the filter with my bare fingers - yuck!

I think that once this breaks (as I'm sure it will - it's made of quite junky plastic and doesn't seem all that durable) I'll go out and spend a bit more money on a higher quality stick vac.However, for $20 this little cheapie picks up the messes and doesn't take up too much space.

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

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.
