High Capacity Battery for Euro-Pro Shark Cordless Sweeper V1911 Replacing XB1916 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got my used Euro-Pro Shark Cordless Sweeper at an auction a few months ago. The battery looked to be the original one and didn't hold much of a charge. Since the battery cover clearly recommends replacement every 9 - 12 months, I found a battery through Amazon. The replacement battery (V-1911) came quickly. After charging for the recommended time, I put the sweeper to use. Holds the charge through at least four or five lengthy sweeping sessions. I'm very happy and would definitely recommend this product.

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

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.

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

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.

Factory-Reconditioned Black & Decker NS118R 18V Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this unit to be great for light duty and especially blowing out leaves and grass that get blown into my garage. I'm in a wooded area and there are lots of small twigs on my driveway that can be blown off with this blower but I do have to get much closer and it takes longer than my gas blower. The battery is real good for about the first 10 minutes and then it starts to drop noticeably.I have several batteries so I don't have to be too concerned about running out of power. It is convenient because of its light weight and cordless feature.

Ontel Touchless Swivel Sweeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This "Touchless" is even better than my first Swivel Sweeper.Being able to hold it over the trash and push the button to empty vs release a tray, pick it up, bang it on the side of the trash and find the holes to replace.It also has cleaning tools and a magnet that holds the "head" next to the pole for slimmer storage.I use it almost daily and charge it once a week.I have hardwood, tile and vinyl and also use it on area rugs so that I really don't need my vacuum.If I had carpeting it wouldn't suffice for more than quickie pick ups.There are 2 caveats 1) don't overcharge the battery.With my first I just left it in the charger for sometimes days between uses and I think I drained it so that it wouldn't hold a charge.Now I make sure I don't charge it for over 24 hours like the directions indicate.2) it is a moderate pain to clean the hair out of the brushes.I also have a Roomba so I am used to cleaning the unit regularly.That said, I love it that it is so easy and quick; it goes under beds and sofas and areas that don't require you to move furniture.You just can't beat how easy it allows you to quickly clean your major areas daily in minutes. It doesn't scratch my wood floors,which was a concern.I don't know about you but I frequently "miss the counter" in the kitchen on a daily basis and don't like "feeling" stuff on my bare feet.Daily swiveling takes care of that in an instant.

Swiffer Sweeper + Vac, Replacement Filters 2 ea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered my filters and they were shipped from Promax.After doing more research in my area I found the filters about half the price at my local Target store.I posted a review on Amazon stating that I was upset that I had paid more from Amazon/Promax and that even tho I would continue to buy from Amazon, I would not order from Promax again.I received my order and posted my review.I then received 3 phone calls and two e-mails from Promax wanting to know what they could do to resolve my opinion -- David actually told me they "lived and died" by their reviews and asked me to please take down my negative review and they would do whatever they could to make me happy.I was out of town, however, I took my review down on 4/24 and called the company back today, 4/27, to tell them I had taken the review down. Promax rep David, on speaker phone, ask me what price I had bought the same item from from Target, would he be able to go online and verify the price, that he would not refund my shipping, he actually said I knew how much I was paying for the item when I hit "send" on my order, and there was no way they would refund my shipping--I should know that I had to pay shipping when I buy something.Needless to say, I am now extremely unhappy with this whole Promax experience.When they wanted me to take down my review they were absolutely wonderful; after I took down my review I was the idiot.I told them not to worry about any type of refund, to expect my negative review back online.

I would hope anyone out there would run as fast as they could from this company.In this day and age customer service is a must for any business.This company is AWFUL.As I stated before -- I will continue to buy from Amazon, but if what I need is only available from Promax--I will do without.

Swiffer SweeperVac Starter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'd like to give 3 and a half stars, but since I don't have the option, I put 3.This product isn't bad - it is a good way to give a quick touch up on our tile floors.It's definitely less work than a broom, but is not quite as effective as I had hoped. We have a fairly large tiled area, and with 3 people (including 1 teenager) and 3 cats, there's a lot of dust, hair and crumbs on the floor.The sweeper did okay with the dust and hair, but the vacuum is only so-so on what it picks up.It would not pick up kitty kibble crumbs, for instance.A whole piece of cereal will not get vacuumed up, while a crushed piece of cereal probably will.The key to this product is to use it often - if the floor gets too dirty, it's too much for this product to handle. But for quick every day maintenance, it beats getting out the broom for sure.
