Hoover U5753-900 WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum Review

Hoover U5753-900 WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Freakn' Bagless Hoover Windtunnel:

1.There are two filters that need to be changed every 6-12 months (yah, right...more like every three months) and they cost oh, between $38-$50 depending on where you can find them...Wal-Mart? No, they don't carry this type...Target? If you are really lucky.Sears carries them, for about $49.00 a pop...and that is just one filter...you need 2.
2.You can't empty these puppies in the house because you have to tap (more like beat) the filter on the side of the garbage can and dust goes EVERYWHERE, YUCK!So, what do you do?You take it outside to beat it in the garbage can, then with the smallest gust of wind you are covered, COVERED, I'm talking an abominable brown snowman, with dust and dead spiders and anything else you sucked up thinking it was gone forever.
3.The screen...yes, not only the filter needs to be cleaned after EVERY...and I mean with EVERY use..there is this fancy little screen that you have to pull up and pick the caked on "microdust" off of and what do you use to do that????Well, if you are on the ball (which I rarely am) you remembered your small wire brush...but if you didn't you can't really run back in the house holding this nasty dirty thing flinging yuck all over your house...so, you use your finger nail, yes, desperate times call for desperate measures.
4.It burns through belts...twice a year at least (they either break or stretch) not a huge expense, but a lame and time consuming one.
5.It looses suction, bad, after about 10-15 minutes of vacuuming, and then you have to do the whole filter cleaning all over again.
6.The attachment hose pops out ALL THE TIME.SO, you either learn to vacuum holding the hose down and in...or (more probably) you get it in there really good and pray it doesn't come out and resolute to never touch it again.
7.BOTTOM LINE:I have had this Windtunnel for about 2 years, I was not impressed the first time I used it...furious the first time I had to empty it...but I thought, well, maybe it will grow on me....Um, No.I actually stopped vacuuming, I hated it, I hated the waste of time for practically no reward, I hated the dust everywhere, I hated the expense, don't waste your time, money and sanity.
8.Okay, with all that said, I purchased a sweet little vacuum from Wal-mart a few months ago, and I have been waiting to find something wrong with it to pop up but I has not been disappointing yet.I have gone through 1 bag, (I vacuum almost everyday with 2 toddlers), but the bags are really compact I was surprised how much they hold.The light went off to change the bag and it took a whole, oh, 30 seconds for the whole process, the dirt was gone, in the garbage, just like that.And the suction is amazing.Go get this vacuum, today.Do not waist anymore brain cells on a bagless. !!!GE 12 AMP, 2 motor, home cleaning system!!!It's a canister and sucks like...well, something that sucks really, really great!Lol, I actually love to vacuum, really!Plus, the best part...it is only a little over $100.00 and it has a filter but it comes free with the bags.Cool. Get this vacuume today...now...go!

Oreck OR100 Premier Series Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner Review

Oreck OR100 Premier Series Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just received this vacuum cleaner today. Mine is actually the SOR100, same cleaner only mine has an aluminum brush roll and the housing is chrome not black. My first impression of this when I took it out of the box was the quality of the unit. Steel housing, aluminum brush roll, easy assembly, just an over all solid feel. And it easy to remove the brush roll and fan to clean.

Since there isn't a great description for this vacuum cleaner I will give some of the details.

It is the commercial series of the Oreck vacuums. It has a reusable bag and a 50 foot long power cord (this model may be only 35). The wheels on the back are wide and easy to roll. It has six adjustable carpet settings, ( although most people will probably just use one or two) it doesn't self adjust like the domestic line of Orecks. The cleaning path is 12" and it doesn't have a light. However, it only weighs about 14lbs and is super light to carry and push around and it will lay completely flat so you can get under furniture.

My only complaints are few and not enough I feel to lower my rating. The bag is reusable, that's great right? No more bags to buy right? Well the only problem is that when you empty the bag it tends to throw some dust into the air. Because of this you may want to empty it outside, a small inconvenience but worth it when you see just what this thing gets out of your carpet!

Another gripe I have is with the cord storage system, the clips are plastic and don't rotate to allow the cord to fall of in one motion. You have to unwind it by hand. Only takes a few seconds but still, would be a nice feature to have. And since the clips are plastic, I doubt they will last long but they are replaceable, so we'll see how it goes.

The only other complaint I have is that isn't made completely in the USA like their domestic vacs, it says designed and developed in the USA but made in PROC. Which I assume is the People's Republic of China. Now, I primarily bought an Oreck because I thought all their uprights were made in the USA and I hate to buy Chinese made goods.

However, it shipped from a plant in Cookeville, TN which makes other uprights. It would appear that these vacuums might be made in China but the final Quality Control check is still done in the USA. This is actually fine by me, as it means there are still jobs for US citizens even though the vacuum is made overseas. You wouldn't be able to tell it though by the build quality.

True this vacuum doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the other vacuums have. It doesn't have a hose attachment or any on board tools. Fine by me, I have never owned a vacuum with on board tools where the hose didn't start slipping out over time. Such a pain to be vacuuming for a bit only to realize the hose has come undone and you have to redo that section.

As someone said on another review, everything made is a Swiss Army knife anymore, nothing is made to do one thing well, only do several things ok. Well I'll tell you this vacuum does clean carpet and it does it well.

This vacuum is not for use on bare floors or hardwood floors. It has a feature on the brush roll that will damage a bare floor. There are only two rows of bristles, but opposite those bristles are metal nubs that when they pass over the floor they vibrate the carpet.( this model has a fiberglass brush roll so I don't know it has the vibrator feature ) This causes the deep down dirt to be vibrated out of the carpet so the vacuum can suck it up. Very cool!

Update: I just wanted to add, after reading the first review that this vacuum eats belts, I think I understand why they are having a problem. You have to set the carpet height higher than you might think. The vacuum should just slightly, and ever so slightly drag on the carpet, it should glide over it fairly easily. If you set it too low, the brush roll just digs into the carpet and causes enough friction to heat up the belt. I know if you are used to using a department store vacuum you think it needs to drag on the carpet but this vacuum picks up very well without beating the hell out of the carpet. Just buy it and use it and you will see what I mean.

Bissell 37601 Lift-Off Revolution Turbo Upright Bagless Vacuum Review

Bissell 37601 Lift-Off Revolution Turbo Upright Bagless Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
An upgrade to my last Bissell (Cleanview Deluxe),this one is even better....was ONSALE for $160, and well worth it.
Removeable canister capability is easy and makes this vac so much more versitile...such as taking out to your car or for carpeted steps. I really love the user friendly design of these Bissell vacs....never complex, and I don't feel I need a manual to understand or operate.
Super suction...and the brushes are so powerful, it almost feels self propelled as you push forward.
The 'telescoping' function of the extension wand was a nice upgrade, although it does takes a little time getting used to it...also the new dual-headed brush tool is an inovative idea i like.
Another really nice upgrade is the on/off brush power button...and the vac is now smart, even when brushes are powered ON, they wont rotate till you step on the release pedal AND pull the handle down towards you.
I also noticed you can now pull the handle down literally to the FLOOR without the front of the vac lifting up...this means being able to roll further under couches/tight spots.

If I had to give CONS :

1) There are 3 filters...1 HEPA and 2 foam...the foam filters in particular should be cleaned once a month,as directed..but I check even more often (due to high traffic/pets)... They can get pretty dirty relatively fast, and although u may not notice any loss of suction,I assume cleaning these filters often will always improve performance...... Its not hard to do, they are basically foam sponges u can rinse clean, and they dry pretty quick.

2) The vac when all together as 1 unit, is pretty heavy. Doesnt bother me, but may be an issue to some. My wife immediately noticed the weight... The canaster vac, when separated, is easy to carry with its handle, but some may still find even this a little heavy as well.
In my opinion, the weight is due to good construction and a strong motor. I think its worth it.

3) Seems like a lot of new vacs come with some form or version of a 'turbo brush' attachment. I'm not a fan of these...the brushes are SUCTION driven, NOT motor driven. Its a gimmick tool.. I prefer the simple NON turbo brush tool that come with this vac, and I let the suction power (and a little up/down motion of my own) do the work. I keep the turbo brush permanantly removed from the handle altogether. To me its just added dead weight.

4) only 1 improvenment I could think of now is a retracteable cord....

Electrolux EL8502B Versatility 12 Amp Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Electrolux EL8502B Versatility 12 Amp Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

I looked at a lot of other vacuums before choosing this one.It SEEMED to be built well and the design/engineering would be very handy and effective.I got it home and was amazed at how well it picked up dirt.To my disappointment however, after a week of use, it started to malfunction.First, I noticed the brush roller seemed to stop spinning on carpet.Then shortly afterward, the vacuum would shut itself off repeatedly after the first couple minutes of operation.The manual says this vacuum is designed to shut itself off when there is a blockage inside it to prevent overheating.Well I checked and rechecked for a blockage, cleaned the filter and brush roll but it still did the same thing.I contacted Electrolux customer service and they would not admit this was a common problem nor would they tell me if there was a fix for this problem but if you research reviews on other web sites, it appears to be happening quite often.Instead of going through the hassle of going to my nearest service center 40 miles away, I returned the vacuum for a refund.I really liked the vacuum at first but will not try another one.I found a Hoover Elite Windtunnel with a 6 year warranty. Don't bother with this model, you will eventually regret it. By the way, if you are looking for the quality Electrolux vacuum of the past, these are not it.These are made in China by the same company that makes Eureka. The old Electrolux was bought by a company called Aerus Lux.

Dirt Devil 088400 Vision Turbo Vacuum Review

Dirt Devil 088400 Vision Turbo Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned several vacuum cleaners in my life and to date the best one is still the old, old canister vacuum that my parents used for 30 years before I had it. I miss that vacuum!

I am not hard on my appliances, it just me and my husband and no children in the house. We needed a new vacuum and this one seemed nice and powerful in the store and the first few times I used it. However, from the start there was a burning rubber odor which stunk up the entire house. I assumed it was the belt, checked the belt and it seemed okay. So, I thought maybe it was due to being new. However, the stink never stopped and the belt eventually melted from overheating. We bought a new belt, because this is not a warranty item. After replacing the belt and using the vacuum twice, the same thing happened and I was again without a vacuum.

Another thing that happend is that the vacuum sucked up the power cord. I found it strange how the power cord had no place to lock into on the vacuum and how I had to always hold it up, and when it got sucked up and damaged, I thought it was my fault, not the poor design of the power cord placement. I see from the other reviews on this site, that the same thing has happened to several other people. We put electrical tape around the cord.

Now, not only the belt needs replacing, but the roller brush too because the belt melted all over it! Plus the vacuum lost suction power after a few uses. A screw fell out that helps to keep the bottom rolling along easy. The bagless collection cup for debris fills up within 1 session of vacuuming and it is a big mess to clean it.

I contacted Dirt Devil customer service to speak to someone and complain, but all the woman wanted to tell me over and over was that the belt is not a warranty item and to contact my local service center. I tried to explain that I understand that a belt is normally not a warranty item, but that there must be something wrong with the vacuum that is causing it to overheat and burn up the belt. She wanted to blame me for vacuuming up something too big that got caught in the machine and damaged it. Now I have owned many vacuums and I have never had belt burn up like this. They usually last for a number of years, not months, or in the latest case, a day.

I noticed that Dirt Devil has a sweeper that is recalled for overheating. Perhaps they have a similar problem with this vacuum?

Regardless, I am done with this vacuum - a piece of junk and rotten customer service to boot! I know I will never spend my hard earned money on a Dirt Devil again!

Hoover WindTunnel Allergen Filter Bag, 4010100Y Review

Hoover WindTunnel Allergen Filter Bag, 4010100Y
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First the complaint - these bags are awfully pricey considering that they fill up so fast. The bag is too big for the compartment, so you have to fold it over at the top and bottom to get it to fit into the allotted space. Despite having owned this model vacuum for seven years, I still need three hands to get the corners of the over-sized bag tucked into place before slamming the compartment shut.

Changing the bag is a dirty bit of business, because when you pull the old bag off, all that super-fine dust at the top goes *POOF* and escapes from the bag's opening . We've taken to putting the vacuum on the back porch before opening up the bag compartment to keep dust out of our home.

I see a name brand competitor has come up with a solution to this by putting a little trap door thingie by the bag's opening, so when you pull the bag off the vacuum, all the dust doesn't fly out of the bag and go *POOF*.

Okay - the positive - these Hoover paper bags do a decent job of trapping fine dust particles, but I do wish they'd figure out how to make bag removal and installation easier. Or just make the bag a different shape so you're not contorting it to get it into the allotted space.

More recently, I've started using Filtrete (3M) bags. Made of cloth, they're lined with an electrostatically charged media which captures dust and dirt down to .3 microns. Because they're cloth (instead of stiff paper, like these bags), they're much easier to install into the Hoover vacuum.

after reading many reviews from many different sources we decided to purchase this vacuum. we ended up getting it from costco as it was quite a bit cheaper than on amazon at the time. i have to say that we've been thrilled with this vacuum so far. it does a wonderful job on our carpet leaving no trace of dog hair behind. the dirt sensor is a fun addition although i'm not completely sure what it's thinking sometimes. the self-propel feature is great and works effortlessly with normal vauuming gestures gliding the vacuum along the floor with ease.

we were looking at some dyson vacuums as well but after going to the store and test driving both models the dyson vacuums, although great to look at, seemed heavy and awkward to use most of the time. the hoovers seemed to have a good vacuum feel to them.

the set of attachments is also nice and are very easy to use.

Product Description:
Equipped with patented WindTunnel technology, this bagged upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. The self-propelled unit offers nearly effortless maneuverability in both forward and reverse, while three distinct air channels lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. The unit also traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 5 microns in size thanks to its allergen filter bag. Even more, it provides a deluxe stretch hose, a complete on-board tool set for above-floor cleaning, and a pet-hair tool with rotating brushes that effectively removes stubborn pet hair and dirt from upholstery and carpeted stairs. Other thoughtful details include non-marring wheels with bearings for lower push effort on carpet and safe use on bare floors, custom cleaning controls for moving from carpet to bare floors with ease, and an ergonomic D-grip handle for added comfort and control. The cleaner also offers fingertip on/off power control, five-position height adjustment, edge-cleaning bristles, a headlight, and a 31-foot power cord.

Hoover Type Z Power Drive/Dimension Upright Vacuum Cleaner Replacement Bags, Package of 3
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased these bags for the first time in May 2001. I installed a bag and thought it worked OK. (I did not throw the former bags, not Hoover bags, out.) The next time the bag needed changing the lady who cleans the house (unbeknown to us) installed the bag we had been using previously. My wife who is very sensitive to house dust recognized the difference. After a very short time my wife said she could smell the dust when the vacuum cleaner was in use. I changed the bag in our vacuum back to a Hoover bag and the probem was cured. While not very scientific, it convinced us. I have thrown the other bags away.
Additional Comment:
Because of the small particles that are trapped in the bag, I take the vacuum outside to remove the filled bag. This prevents these particles from escaping back into the air in the house.

BISSELL Rewind SmartClean Bagless Upright Vacuum Review

BISSELL Rewind SmartClean Bagless Upright Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As I stated above this model is an updated version of the Bissell Cleanview Deluxe.I had that vacuum and was sad to give it up in an out of state move.Since my move (I couldn't find another Cleanview to purchsae at that time) I bought a cheap Dirt Devil Extreme Quick vac to get by (with a HEPA filter) and it served me well but would fill up too quickly and lose suction with cat fur and a lot of long human hair.I had been looking to find an updated version of the Cleanview and *poof* recently the SmartClean appeared on amazon before I found it anywhere else. I purchased it without hesitation.

I couldn't wait to get this out of the box and try it out. So far I like it a lot. Felt a bit more bulky than the Cleanview I had, but has the familiar handling.This Bissell added a few features, the retractable cord winder is nice, but I find that it retracts slightly while I vacuum which is a pretty minor annoyance.Suction is great and the included attachments are nice--same as the old Cleanview (powerprush, crevice tool, extender, and upholstery tool.There is a bit more air filtering than the Cleanview but has the same Dirt sensor "red light green light" which makes vacuuming more fun/productive. I simply couldn't believe the dust/pet dander that this vacuum picked up the first time I used it that the Dirt Devil had been missing.HEPA filter is great and necessary for my allergies.For the price range this vacuum is a great purchase, I hope to keep it for a while.

Also, the Clean Filter Indicator takes the guess work out of when to clean or change your filters. When you're done with your vacuuming, just press the automatic cord rewind button and stow it away- no more taking the time to rewind it yourself. The convenient clear bagless container allows for easy emptying.

2.It picks up dirt, fuzz (and legos) as well or better than any other vacuum I've ever used.Really.Just change the bag when it gets full.
3.Light weight.It's very easy to manuver and my younger kids can use it.
4.Simplicity.This is a basic vac.It's easy to change the bag, wind the cord, and pull hair/crud out of the roller if necessary.
5.It's got a bag.This is a personal preference, but every bagless upright I've ever used creates a small dust storm when you empty it.The bag system on this one works well.

Cons:
1.I don't expect it to go past 5 years.It's clearly designed for low cost and light weight.However, so far so good.
2.It's pretty loud.Not the loudest I've used but it's not quiet.
3.The hose for attachments is cumbersome to use.My recommendation?Use a small canister vac and/or shop vac instead.Most uprights have on-board tools that don't work well.
4.I have several children, and one in particular that sheds a lot of long hair.All vac will get hair caught in the beater-bar underneath, but this one also seems to get hair caught in the bushings that support the bar.When this happens, the hair builds up in that area creating friction and eventually smelly hair smell.Not a huge problem but slightly annoying.

I intend to buy another one of these when mine gives out.If I have to spend $40 every 4-6 years to own a lightweight, easy to use, vacuum that cleans extremely well then I'm quite ok with that!I see no reason to blow $200-$400 on a large heavy vacuum that MIGHT last a little longer.

I've been "shopping" for a new vacuum for months...saving for a Dyson.Then I heard about the Bissell.I had run my old vacuum yesterday....this new Bissell arrived today and I tried it out after some minor assembly.WOW !!!I could NOT believe the amount of pet hair in the canister after just one room.I'm so impressed I've purchased another Bissell (with removable hand vac).Since I have MS this will be one vac for upstairs and one for downstairs.My only complaint was a bit of difficulty getting the hoses to slide together.

Dirt Devil CE5500 Floor Keeper Review

Dirt Devil CE5500 Floor Keeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Okay, first I purchased the "flip it". I basically flipped it right back to the store. Vacuum side was useless. Mopping side was even more useless. Zero rotation...you basicall move a scrubby pad back and forth while sprayed solution is a mess all over the floor.

Next I bought the Dirt Devil Floor Keeper. It lived up to the Dirt Devil reputation.....junk. Not only did the vacuum leave alot to be desired, but the actual "brushes" for mopping were ridiculously designed. Basically it is a bar with a very thin thread of bristles running diagonally across it. Not exactly sure all the floor is "scrubbed" by this tiny brush.Solution came out in globs everywhere....I spent plenty of time on my knees hand drying the floor.Finally, I purchased the Hoover Floormate. My reluctance at first was due to the price. However, the old adage, 'you get what you pay for'. Bottom line, I love it. Vacuum works great. The rotating brushes do a wonderful job of cleaning the floor (very little effort on my part). Best thing is when you empty the intake tank. The water is disgusting, proving that by using a regular sponge or string mop you are just swishing dirty water back and forth over your floor. My only complaint is the solution switch...it's kind of difficult to see how much is coming out of the machine into the brushes. Left some wet spots on the floor, which was taken care of by using the wet pick up function. I think as I get more used to how much solution is actually being released, I will have less of a problem.

Bottom line, I love the machine as much as I hated the Bissell and Dirt Devil!!

Eureka Altima Upright Vac - 2991AVZ Review

Eureka Altima Upright Vac - 2991AVZ
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to admit the first time I used this sweeper it was awesome! I couldn't believe the amount of dirt it picked up (we don't have pets so I don't have that issue). The 2nd time I used it there wasn't nearly the dirt in it but I thought maybe it was because it got so much up the first time. By the 2nd use I had to clean the filter out real good which is kind of a hassle but this is my first bagless sweeper so I figure it comes with having a bagless (still not sure about that). Well today I used it for the 3rd time. I finished sweeping 4 bedrooms, living room and family room and there is no dirt in the canister.....where the heck is it going you ask....it's spitting it all back out. The sweeper is absolutely filthy on the outside from all the dust it's creating. I've checked all the filters and they are all clean.This hunk of junk is going back to the store.
