The title says it all. Now it is in the garage. Guess I'll remove and/or shorten brush bristles to see if that helps.

So if you have a dog with any amount of shedding. It is spring after all. This is not a helpful item out of the box.

Too bad.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros
- Easy to change bag.(I consider bagless worthless.)
- Much quiter than my previous Dirt Devil vacuum
- Cleans better, too
- Inexpensive (I paid $40 for a refurb)
- Most trusted and reliable brand
- Assembly instructions actually helpful
- Spinning brush does not touch floor when upright (so it doesn't mar the rug if it's left running)
- Reasonable cord length (not too long or short)
- Just three attachents (who ever uses 12 on-board attachments?)
- Light enough to carry up/down stairs

Cons
- It takes some effort to get the hose back in
- Headlight could be brighter
- Cord is not auto-rewinding
- Bags are smaller than Dirt Devil, though replacements are cheap

Eureka 431BX Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum Review

Eureka 431BX Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of this machine. My wife and I moved to a new house with more carpeting and, after 16 years, had to retire our old Hoover. We looked at Dysons and a few other full-size vacs. Problem is, they all weighed a ton. (Well, not really a ton...but a lot.) Seeing that we have to lug the vacuum up and down stairs constantly, we wanted something lighter weight. Then we saw it...a mention of the Eureka Optima in an issue of Oprah magazine while visiting my sister and her family on vacation. We went to the local Best Buy and checked it out. After vacuuming up a bunch of junk on the floor of Best Buy in Nyack, NY, we took the plunge. The vacuum is a breeze to assemble. It's even kind of cute looking. And it does have a great deal of suction. The lack of a HEPA filter may be a drawback to some, but we went from an old bagged vacuum to this bagless...so it's a huge improvement for us even without the HEPA filter. The Optima is a bit harder to push than our old vac, especially on thicker carpet. But our rooms aren't terribly big, so we look at it as an opportunity for a bit of exercise. The incredible weight (or lack thereof) of this machine, along with the low price, more than makes up for the little bit of effort required to push it. It's easy to empty, too. And the telescoping handle is great! Put the handle all the way down and you can store this vac in just about any closet. We've even stored it in a large kitchen cabinet. I'd recommend this vacuum to anyone. Or you can spend six or seven or eight times the money on a Dyson. The choice is yours!!

It also has an on/off brushroll for cleaning bare floors and on-board tools and a no-tip design for above the floor cleaning. The easy-empty dust cup has the same dust capacity a a full size upright and was designed so you don't touch the filter when emptying the cup

Eureka Pet Lover Oh! Upright Bagless Vacuum, 439AZ Review

Eureka Pet Lover Oh Upright Bagless Vacuum, 439AZ
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great little vacuum!

Assembly:
Easy-as long as you read the short, clear directions (with pictures). I was using it within 10 minutes of opening the box.

Size:
small, which is great for me. I have a 2 bedroom villa style townhome, with tile everywhere but the bedrooms and stairs. This is a great size for me; but if you have a big home, or even a moderate-sized home with a lot of carpet, this may not be the best choice for you.

Handling:
Easy again. It's light compaired to the big vacuums, but the high end of average for the little vacuums. I like it though, it self-propels easily and turns well. The only thing I don't like is you have to manually unlock the base (or "foot") from the upright position by holding it with your foot while moving the handle back/downwards.

Cleaning:
You can't get much easier than this unit when it comes to cleaning it out- you push a button, and the container pops out. The top easily twists off, and you just dump it out. The filter has to be cleaned here and there too. It's just as easy to put it back in (unlike my last vacuum... ugh)

Effective?
Absolutely. I have 3 cats- that shed allll the time. Chairs and sofas were a constant battle between us and the kitties... but now, we've WON!
the power paw is especially great.

Value:

TOTALLY worth the money! As long as you don't have a huge house with wall to wall carpet, you should give this one a try!

If you love your pets, but not necessarily their odor or loose hair, the Eureka Pet Lover Oh! is your ideal vacuum. Its Pet Power Paw uses plastic teeth to loosen the pet hair from your floor, a rubber strip to grab the hair, and bristles to remove it. A charcoal filter with HEPA filtration absorbs the odor and reduces allergens for cleaner air to breathe. Use the included upholstery brush to reach those tight spaces. The soft-grip looped handle is comfortable to use at any angle. It also adjusts to 13 positions to match your height. 12 amps with 20-foot power cord. 11-inch cleaning path. 13 x 15 x 44.5 inches. 11.8 pounds. 1-year warranty. Formerly the Optima Pet Lover.

I'm not sure how long this has been out but I'm surprised no one has reviewed it yet.I LOVE this sweeper for my hard wood floors in the kitchen.I have a toddler who makes a mess every time he eats and I keep this in the corner near the table.As part of my clean up routine at every meal, I just grab this out of the corner, turn it on and in 5 seconds I have all the crumbs vacuumed up off the floor.It is so lightweight and easy to turn on and off.It swivels as I turn it so it can reach around the chair and table legs.If it were not for the ease of this sweeper, I would probably have crumbs on the floor most of the time.But with this machine I can feel good about the fact that at least my floor is not filthy! I cannot say the same for the rest of the kitchen, sure wish they had something like this for it.

I have a yellow lab that sheds like crazy. I've tried just about every type of product out there (i.e. Swiffer, Roomba, stick vacs...) This broom is fantastic.It has more power than my Oreck stick vac and the charge lasts a good deal of time. I can just hover the broom in hard to reach places over a "clump" of fur and it will pick it up. You can sweep up against walls and such to get at everything along any edge.I had an old broom vac which was ok, but this one is much improved.I would definitely recommend it!

Weed Eater FB25 25cc 2 Stroke Gas Powered 170 MPH Blower Review

Weed Eater FB25 25cc 2 Stroke Gas Powered 170 MPH Blower
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
No assembly is required with this blower. Simply take it out of the box and slide on one piece and you are ready to fill it with fuel and get started. It takes a mix of 2 cycle oil and gasoline. The first time I started mine it took about 7-8 pulls and now it usually starts after 1-2 pulls.

When you have it on full throttle this thing really blows. It has plenty of power for average home use and would probably be good enough for commercial use in my opinion. It has a speed adjustment that is nice so you can adjust to suit your needs or you can let it idle when you are carrying it from one location to another. It also has spring loaded handle that does a good job of reducing the vibration so your hands don't get that numb feeling from the vibration. It only weighs about 8 lbs. and it is comfortable to carry around.

I am very happy with this purchase!!!

We have four vacuum cleaners, and it's not because we're neat freaks.It's exactly the opposite.We keep hoping for the one vacuum that will clean our house with the least effort.Each succession of vacuum cleaner gets smaller and smaller, especially after we discovered we can pay our 5-year old 50 cents to clean the carpet.Between this and the Eureka "The Boss Superlite", they're our favorites.Here are some of the real pluses of the system, followed by the negatives:

PROS:
Great suction, especially on fine dust
Very lightweight, our kid (5 years old) can operate it
Retractable handle makes it easy to carry around (we're short people)
Retractable handle makes it easy to store
Inexpensive

CONS:
The HEPA filter attracts dust very quickly and needs to be cleaned each time (is this a plus or a minus?) Anyhow, it's a messy job.
The front face could be a fraction smaller to get under furniture better

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.

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!

The bigger one seems to bog down on carpets, even when I set it for carpets, but not this little guy..

Bissell Versus Bare-Floor Vacuum with Brushless V-Shape Technology, 76T8 Review

Bissell Versus Bare-Floor Vacuum with Brushless V-Shape Technology, 76T8
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Okay..let me start by saying that I have 2 (SHEDDING) dogs who have a doggie door to the backyard and are in and out all day long tracking dirt/leaves inside constantly.Let me also say that I have all hardwood floors throughout, and have been called OCD on the cleanliness of my home. Before purchasing the Bissell Versus, I owned 1 standard (HEAVY) upright vac (Dirt Devil), 2 cordless vacs (one being a Shark), and 2 handheld vacs.

Always on a mission to find the perfect vacuum cleaner, I got sucked (pun intended) right into the infomercial on the Bissell Versus.After reading online reviews (some great, some bad), I decided what the heck..I'll give it a shot.Here is what I found after using it last night for the first time:

1) Hard to find in-stores, but finally found at a local Target on sale for $59.(Yay!)
2) Easy to put together. REALLY easy.
3) Worried about the reviews saying it was hard to maneuver, I found it quite easy (I'm puny)!I didn't find it to be too "top-heavy" at all.WAY lighter than my normal upright vac, and the "V" head makes vacuuming around tables/chairs/furniture so much easier.
4) Vacuumed all of my dog-hair-tumbleweeds without any problem at all, regardless of how big they were, including some larger leaves that had fallen from my houseplants, and one (LARGE) dead bug that appeared sometime while I was out buying this vacuum. I was also very happy with how much dust it picked up!I personally didn't have a problem with the expelled air blowing around hair/debris..the vac sucked it right up before it got too far away.
5) The many reviews complaining about how short the cord is, had me worried I'd spend half my time unplugging/replugging. Although it IS shorter than my normal upright vac, it wasn't AT ALL as bad as some said.
6) Reviews also had me worried about it not getting hair against the floor's baseboard due to the "V" shape - but I didn't have any problems at all.I thought I'd need to use the Crevice Tool/Hose to get against the walls, but thankfully found I didn't even need it (well, just once to get behind the fridge).
7) I LOVE the fact that it is bagless..and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that it doesn't have a roller underneath to get hair/yarn/fuzz wrapped around! I hated trying to cut/unravel that nastiness from around my upright's roller.The Versus just has a big hole that everything gets sucked up! The most interaction I had with the underside, was to pull the fur off of the little "squeegee" thingy after I was done vacuuming my whole house..all of 2 seconds.
8) The only CON I could find, was that I tried to use it to vacuum the dog hair off of a couple floor mats, but it just wasn't doing the job.I'll still have to use my HEAVY one for that, or one of my handhelds.

So, needless to say..I highly recommend the Bissell Versus. :)

Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor and a unique V-shaped base, this upright vacuum cleaner directs dry messes into the center suction path while picking up fine particles along the arms, making quick, easy work of keeping bare floors and low-pile carpeting clean throughout the house.

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.

Shark VX3 Cordless Floor-and-Carpet Cleaner, V1950 Review

Shark VX3 Cordless Floor-and-Carpet Cleaner, V1950
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Do NOT buy this if you think it will replace your vacuum.I have a 2 year old and a VERY good vacuum on hand that I use once a week (though I probably should vacuum twice a week).For all the messes that occur in between (probably 2-3x a day), I use the Shark to make my life easier.

I'm currently a stay at home mom with a toddler and she leaves crumbs EVERYWHERE.We live in a small apartment, so the dining room is a spit's throw from the living room and it's almost unavoidable to have toddlers (my kid, my kid's friends, my friends' kids...) carrying their muffins, snacks, crackers, pretzels around and about the living area.I got the Shark more because my daughter was terrified of loud sounds and my regular vacuum cleaner, but have found that the nice bonus is that it's so much easier to lug this one out 2-3 times a day to pick up crumbs right after snack time (and hence avoid having it ground into the rugs) than to pull out my heavy Bissell.

Pros:It's lightweight, very quiet, convenient, and effective for picking up visible crumbs if used correctly.
Cons:It doesn't do heavy-duty or deep cleaning; the price-tag can be steep; Shark sweepers are known to break down after a few months to a year.

My mom has an older version of the Shark sweeper, which is much more quiet than this one.She's a waitress and uses it to tidy up the floor under the tables in between customers.Obviously, she's subjecting it to pretty heavy use, and she's now on her third one.Her recommendations on making it last a long as possible:clean the sweeper thoroughly after a few uses (that includes pulling out accumulated hair in the brushes and washing the collection bin) and charge the battery according to directions (do not allow to sit for longer than 19 hours at a time charging, you will reduce battery life).

The Shark Vx3 is a little louder than hers.But I like the fact that it has two speed settings (supposedly for floor and carpet).The handle bends so that you can push it under furniture, which is a little helpful, but kinda awkward and (knowing that the Shark sweeper handles are notorious for breaking off) I prefer to not use it at all.The Shark Vx3 also has a little rotator brush on the side, which is supposed to pick up crumbs as you push it against the side of a wall, but I wish that they had thought to put a rotator brush on both sides.They claim also that you can push a button and dump out the collection cup without ever having to touch the dirt.This is true in theory, but in practice, the lid often catches or there is dirt stuck in the bin that you have to shake it out--so it's almost unavoidable to touch the bin or dirt.No big deal--just wash your hands afterwards.

The bottom line:don't expect to replace your vacuum.And here's the KEY to use the sweeper most effectively -- push it SLOWLY and repeatedly over the pile of crumbs that you intend to pick up.I found that if you tried to push the sweeper back and forth quickly like a regular vacuum, it didn't pick up anything, just pushed the dirt around.

If you found this review helpful, please let me know!

Clean floors offer a more inviting feel for guests and a more enjoyable everyday living space, whether running through the house barefoot in the summer or playing board games with the kids on the floor in the winter. This thoughtfully designed floor-and-carpet cleaner makes it easy to keep floors free of dirt and debris. Use it on any kind of floor, from vinyl, tile, and hardwood to carpeted floors and rugs. The cleaner's wall-hugging motorized side brush and 13-inch powerful motorized brush roll sweeps any type of debris into its no-touch bottom-emptying dust cup, including spilled cereal, glass, nails, cat litter, and more. Choose from two speed settings, Multi Surface for carpets and bare floors and Turbo for tough messes and pet hair. For cleaning under and around furniture--effortlessly and without the need to bend over--the unit provides a low-profile head, patented swivel steering, and a Backsaver folding handle. Simply press the button and the handle folds to ensure comfortable maneuverability under tables, beds, and other hard-to-reach areas. Best of all, its cordless design allows for cleaning from room to room without a cord getting in the way or the need to stop and change outlets. The cleaner comes equipped with a rechargeable battery that delivers up to 50 minutes of run time on a single charge. Combining the best of both--the power of a vacuum and the convenience of a broom--the floor-and-carpet cleaner takes the chore out of clean floors. Ultra-quiet and weighing just 4 pounds, the cordless cleaner measures approximately 13 by 18 by 42 inches.
