Panasonic MCUG471 Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm glad to be back with Panasonic.I had a Panasonic vacuum that lasted at least fifteen years.Less than two years ago, in the process of blowing insulation into the walls, from the inside of the house, my beloved vacuum died.Needing one quick, I went to Consumer Reports, and, based on their recommendations, purchased an Eureka Boss.BIG MISTAKE!Pain to use, tired of getting hit in the leg with the hose, when not in use.When you needed to use the hose, you had to stop what you were doing, move the dial -- hose -- then move the dial back to vacuum regular.Tools falling off.You get the picture.Hated to have to vacuum!

Even though I take good care of my things (especially now a days, when nothing seems to last), the Boss broke in two, less than two years later.So, I came back to Panasonic and am VERY HAPPY I DID.

The UG471 is GREAT!

I have two non-stop shedding Siberian Huskies.This vacuum works great picking up their hair on hard wood floors and on carpeting.The tools, especially the hose, stay on board, when not in use and there is a place for all the tools on the vacuum.Retractable cord -- lovely!

The only downfalls I would site -- needs a longer cord (but it seems every manufacturer has shorten them to 30 feet.And a "grab" place on the front, for when you do not want to use the "power paw" when vacuuming stairs.

Excellent buy/value.Next up, a new Panasonic answering machine.Goodbye crappy Uniden (another terrible Consumer Reports recommendation!).

Product Description:
Equipped with a powerful yet quiet 12 amp motor, this upright vacuum cleaner provides exceptional cleaning results and improved indoor air quality. The unit automatically adjusts to the proper setting for just about any carpet height, while its HEPA filtration system captures 99.97-percent of dust, allergens, and small particles, so only clean air gets expelled into the home. The vacuum's motor-protection system channels dust and dirt particles directly into the vacuum bag, promoting long life and more efficient cleaning for the fan and motor. Quickdraw tools rest in a side holster on the vacuum, ready for immediate use. The included stretch hose, two standard wands, dusting brush, and crevice tool ensure fast, powerful, above-floor cleaning. Connect the dusting brush or crevice tool to the vacuum's 12-1/2-foot attachment for easier access to hard-to-reach spots. Other highlights include an ergonomic handle, a foot-step handle release, a headlight, a 15-inch cleaning path, an integrated carrying handle, and a 24-foot power cord. A single touch activates the cord-rewind mechanism, making storage easy and convenient. The vacuum cleaner measures approximately 12-1/2 by 15 by 44-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

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

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.
