Hoover U5268-970 TurboPower EmPower Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Hoover U5268-970 TurboPower EmPower Upright Vacuum

A user’s Hoover U5268-970 TurboPower EmPower upright vacuum cleaner review says: “The Hoover U5268-970 TurboPower EmPower upright vacuum cleaner is a big improvement over my old machine. It picks up dog and cat hair wonderfully with it’s pet hair attachment. It also has good suction. I especially noticed a difference when I ran over the same carpet with this vacuum and my old one. This one picks up everything left behind by the old one - although some of that may just be because this vacuum is new. Lastly, I love that this unit is bag-less. It will save money and is less hassle.

One thing I wish they would improve is the length of the attachment hose. It’s just not long enough in my opinion, especially trying to drag it behind couches, etc. Also, the vacuum is hard to pull backwards sometimes. But even with those flaws, I would recommend the Hoover U5268-970 TurboPower EmPower upright vacuum cleaner to anyone.”

Dyson DC21 Stowaway Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Dyson DC21 Stowaway Canister Vacuum Cleaner

A user’s Dyson DC21 Stowaway canister vacuum cleaner review says: “The Dyson DC21 Stowaway canister vacuum cleaner didn’t get top ratings from the experts, so I wasn’t quite about getting this machine at first. Long story short, I did end up getting it and was very happy with it from the first time I used it. There are a few things I love about this vacuum - it’s got a great 5 year warranty, the suction is great, the extras it comes with are very useful, it’s very quiet, the canister is easy to drag around, no bags/filters/belts to buy & as the name suggests, it is stores easily in a small area.

Of course, there are some negatives to this vacuum as well. First off, it’s pretty expensive - like most Dyson’s tend to be. Also, there is no headlight to see where you are cleaning. Some parts of the house are pretty dark, and my other vacuum was better for those areas. Lastly, the dirt bin is pretty small. It needs emptied out pretty often if you run through your whole house. These negatives still aren’t a deal breaker in my opinion. In fact, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Dyson DC21 Stowaway canister vacuum cleaner after this one has it’s run.”

Shop-Vac Hang Up Pro 5-Gallon Wall Mounted Vacuum Cleaner Review

A user’s Shop-Vac Hang Up Pro 5-Gallon Wall Mounted vacuum cleaner review says: “The Shop-Vac Hang Up Pro 5-Gallon Wall Mounted vacuum cleaner is excellent for cleaning up wood chips and dust around power tools. I mainly use it for that purpose and keep it attached to a post next to my tools, however it does a good job at cleaning up other messes around the garage as well. Since it’s a wet/dry vacuum, you don’t have to worry about the liquid spills either. The 18 ft hose that comes with the vacuum works perfectly. You can drag the thing pretty far or just attach it to the machine you’re using. The other attachments are OK, but stuff gets caught in them pretty easily.

Of course, Shop-Vacs are known to be pretty loud - and this one is no exception. It’s so loud that it drowns out my saw & other power tools. The remedy is to always wear earplugs before using the machine. Overall though, the Shop-Vac Hang Up Pro 5-Gallon Wall Mounted vacuum cleaner has done a more than satisfactory job, and I’d buy another one if this one dies (I’ve had it for 5 years now with little trouble).”

Bissell 1200B SpotBot Compact Deep Carpet Cleaner Review

Bissell 1200B SpotBot Compact Deep Carpet Cleaner

A user’s Bissell 1200B SpotBot compact deep carpet cleaner review says: “The Bissell 1200B SpotBot compact deep carpet cleaner does a good job at cleaning your carpets, however it’s quite labor intensive. I know the company advertises the machine as being super simple to use, but just beware that you’ll get a workout if you’re cleaning up a big mess. That being said, it does do a good job and get most tough spots out.

The Bissell cleaner liquid is very expensive. You can easily concoct your own if you know how. Also, I wish the thing had a dryer. It would be very useful if you could dry the spot after washing it clean. I’m sure a lot of carpet cleaners don’t have one, but it’s sure handy. So, overall the Bissell 1200B SpotBot compact deep carpet cleaner is a good buy. I wish they would fix those few things, but still it is worth the money.”

Dirt Devil Kone Cordless Hand Vacuum Cleaner Review

Dirt Devil Kone Cordless Hand VacuumA user’s Dirt Devil Kone cordless hand vacuum cleaner review says: “The Dirt Devil Kone cordless hand vacuum cleaner is not the best machine I’ve ever had, but it does get a lot of style points. When people see it, they always want to check it out and see how it works. It does do an OK job at picking up the smaller peices of dirt, crumbs, play dough, etc. - so I’ll give it that. What I don’t really like about it is that it slips out of the hand pretty easily. The cone shape of the vacuum looks cool, but is not really that practical. If you want something that you can keep close by for smaller clean-up jobs (and you can even leave it out in plain view, people love it), the Dirt Devil Kone cordless hand vacuum cleaner is worth buying. And quite honestly, it’s not very expensive either.”

Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum CleanerA user’s Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite canister vacuum cleaner review says: “The Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite canister vacuum cleaner is powerful and light. It’s very easy to carry around the house, and even up the stairs. The suction is great on this machine, probably better than my every day upright cleaner. It does the best on hard floors.

On the negative side - it doesn’t have an automatic cord winder, but a lot of vacuums don’t. Also, you’ll probably need to buy a better dust attachment. The attachments that come with the unit are fine, but could be much better. I don’t really have much else negative to say about this wonderful cleaner. The Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite canister vacuum cleaner really is a great little machine.”

Hoover S3755 Bagless WindTunnel Canister Vacuum Review

Hoover S3755 Bagless WindTunnel Canister VacuumA user’s Hoover S3755 Bagless WindTunnel canister vacuum review says: “The Hoover S3755 Bagless WindTunnel canister vacuum is great on carpets. However, it does have a pretty small dust container, so be aware that it will fill up quite quickly if you’ve got a dusty house. I have to say it’s not very good on hardwood floors (or any hard flooring). When I used it on hard surfaces, it sucks up some dirt but also brushes some around.

I wasn’t that impressed with the extra tools on board this vacuum either. The dusting tool works OK, but it’s so small that it takes forever to clean a decent sized room. This unit will work great for those with carpet throughout, but not very well if you’ve got any hard surfaces. Instead of the Hoover S3755 Bagless WindTunnel canister vacuum, I’d suggest getting the Electronic version of the same machine. It’s a few more dollars, but well worth it.”

Shark SV736 Cordless Motorized Brush Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Review

Shark SV736 Cordless Motorized Brush Handheld Vacuum CleanerA user’s Shark SV736 Cordless Motorized Brush handheld vacuum cleaner review says: “The Shark SV736 Cordless Motorized Brush handheld vacuum cleaner is the perfect machine for small jobs around the house or even sucking up crumbs in your car. One of the best things about this vac is how cheap it is. Also, the brush does a great job at sweeping up pet hair. The unit works great just about anywhere, but I’ve really noticed it cleans the couches, area rugs, sheets & hardwood floors exceptionally well.

On the negative side, there’s really not a lot to complain about. I don’t like the cradle so much, because it’s hard to get it in and out sometimes. Also, it’s a little heavier than similar competitors models. And another detail attachment would be nice. But, the Shark SV736 Cordless Motorized Brush handheld vacuum cleaner does what it’s supposed to do, and does a great job at it.”

Black & Decker CHV7250 Wet-Dry DustBuster Vacuum Review

Black & Decker CHV7250 Wet-Dry DustBuster VacuumA user’s Black & Decker CHV7250 Wet-Dry DustBuster vacuum review says: “The Black & Decker CHV7250 Wet-Dry DustBuster vacuum is a great little machine to pick up small debris and dust. It has really great suction for being so small. It’s also nice to have rechargeable batteries instead of always replacing them. To recharge it, you just plug it straight into the wall. A cradle would be nice at times, but it’s manageable to just plug it in. It’s also not a bad price for what you get.

On the downside, it needs recharging pretty often. Also, I hear that it doesn’t last super long - it has about a year life span. It gets scratched pretty easily too, so don’t expect it to look all nice and pretty for long. If these things don’t bother you too much, the Black & Decker CHV7250 Wet-Dry DustBuster vacuum will work wonderfully for you.”

Hoover U8311-900 WindTunnel 2 Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Hoover U8311-900 WindTunnel 2 Upright Vacuum CleanerA user’s Hoover U8311-900 WindTunnel 2 upright vacuum cleaner review says: “The Hoover U8311-900 WindTunnel 2 upright vacuum cleaner is heavy, let me just say that right away. You’ll definitely get your workout when using this thing. It’s also a bummer that it doesn’t have different levels of suction, however it does have a height adjustment for tile, carpet, etc. A few more gripes about this vacuum are that it’s not the prettiest and the cord could be longer.

OK, now for the good features of this machine. First, it sucks up dirt just as well or better than vacuums that are twice as expensive. Second, it’s very sturdy - even though it’s not the prettiest unit out there, at least it won’t fall apart. Lastly, the attachments are wonderful. They thought them out very well, and they all work great. So, the Hoover U8311-900 WindTunnel 2 upright vacuum cleaner won’t be for everyone, but it does a superb job if you can live with the negatives.”

Hoover U8173-900 Savvy TurboPower 7300 Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Hoover U8173-900 Savvy TurboPower 7300 Upright Vacuum CleanerA user’s Hoover U8173-900 Savvy TurboPower 7300 upright vacuum cleaner review: “The Hoover U8173-900 Savvy TurboPower 7300 upright vacuum cleaner was a lot quieter than I expected. In fact, our pets didn’t run for cover when I turned it on, but actually came to investigate the humming sound. The suction is great, much better than my old vacuum. It actually makes your carpet all fluffed up like when it’s brand new. It comes with three attachments, which work great for stairs and hard to reach areas.

When on the floor, the Hoover U8173-900 Savvy TurboPower 7300 upright vacuum cleaner is easy to push because of it is self-propelled. However, it’s not the lightest unit when trying to pick it up. It may be too heavy for some people to drag up the stairs on a regular basis. All in all, it’s a superb vacuum though - I’d definitely recommend to anyone.”

Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner Review

Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep CleanerA user’s Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot upright deep cleaner review says: “The Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot upright deep cleaner assembles pretty easily out of the box. It takes about 10 minutes, even for novices like me. The machine is solidly built, even though most if it is made of plastic. It gives you the carpet cleaning options of “heavy traffic”, “light clean”, “normal clean” & “water rinse” - which is nice since some areas are a lot worse than others. Also, if don’t like using the chemical solutions, you can put it whatever cleaning liquid you like. The TurboBrush attachment works superbly on stairs & other hard to reach areas. The unit is also not too heavy, so even a smaller person could maneuver this thing pretty easily.

The biggest “issue” with this carpet cleaner is how expensive it is. There are quite a few cheaper cleaners out there, but I’m doubt they would do as good of a job. Another thing they could have done better with the Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot upright deep cleaner is gotten better suction. It doesn’t leave the carpets sopping wet or anything, just a little damper than I’d like. You may have to go over the carpet several times to get it dry enough. Overall, I’m glad I bought this unit though.”

Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Review

Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster Cordless VacuumA user reviews the Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: “The Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is great because it can work as a stick vacuum or hand held. With it being cordless, it’s a lot more versatile as well. You can get in a lot of hard to reach areas without dragging the cord everywhere. The 12-volt unit has great suction as well. It’s so good that it actually rivals my more expensive upright vacuum. You have to hold it at the right angle to get the best suction - some people complain it won’t pick up anything, and I think this may be the problem. You can also hang it up for easy storage.

On the negative side, it doesn’t hold a charge for very long. This is actually very common for hand & stick vacs. Anyway, the most I’ve gotten out of it is 20 minutes of full powered use. Plus it takes 16 hours to recharge fully. So, you probably won’t be using the Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster Cordless Vacuum Cleaner to sweep up the whole house, but it is marvelous at cleaning a few rooms at a time.”

Dirt Devil KRUZ 0313SLV Cordless Floor Cleaner Review

Dirt Devil KRUZ 0313SLV Cordless Floor CleanerA user reviews the Dirt Devil KRUZ 0313SLV Cordless Floor Cleaner: “The Dirt Devil KRUZ 0313SLV Cordless Floor Cleaner works great at what it’s meant for - light daily cleanings. It has a charger base, so when you’re not using it, it’ll be charging up for the next time you use it. Of course, being a cordless vacuum has it’s benefits and it’s also very light weight. It’s actually pretty fun to run it across the floor, since it glides so easily. Also, the cleaner is simple to clean - you just push a button it it snaps right out.

I do wish it could clean carpet, but it’s just not built for that. It doesn’t pick up any big or slightly heavy items, such as twigs. Also, it would have been nice to have a slightly bigger dirt canister. I really can’t complain too much though, the Dirt Devil KRUZ 0313SLV Cordless Floor Cleaner does exactly what they advertise it to do (and a good job at that).”

Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head Canister Vacuum CleanerA user’s Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head Canister Vacuum Cleaner review says: “The Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head Canister Vacuum Cleaner was very easy to put together out of the box, it only took about 15 minutes. It’s also so much lighter than my old vacuum, so I can haul it up the stairs much easier. Also, everyone talks about how quiet this machine is, and they are absolutely right about that. If you have a loud vacuum cleaner now, you’ll definitely notice the difference.

This vacuum is definitely a bargain for the money. It’s not the cheapest unit on the market, but it’s so much better than those cheaper cleaners. If you want a better vacuum you’d have to spend double the cost of this one, which probably isn’t worth it. I’d recommend the Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head Canister Vacuum Cleaner to anyone looking for a more quality vacuum.”
