Cheap Dyson DC07 All Floors Vacuum


This is a generic hose that fits a Dyson, not the same hose that comes directly from Dyson. It is not as heavy/durable as a real Dyson hose. It broke within just a few uses. I called the company who did not want to replace it, but I "badgered" them until they agreed to send another hose - which also broke within 3 months! I recommend you call Dyson directly and explain the problem you're having with your hose. They may be able to replace it for you at no cost. If not, spend the extra $15 and buy a hose from the Dyson website.Get more detail about Dyson DC07 All Floors Vacuum.

Purchase Dirt Devil Featherlite Bagged Vacuum


I think the name of this product "featherlite" was an inside joke between engineers/designers, who put this machine together at Dirt Devil. I don't believe the people who think this product is "light" and I are from the same planet. This vacuum feels and sounds more like a lawnmower than something you would use indoors. It doesn't suck well. It stinks up the apartment. The Miele vacuum of my mom's from early 1980s does a better job in every aspect possible. It is also SO big that it requires as large a closet space as most NYC apt. can have. I can't wait to toss it.Get more detail about Dirt Devil Featherlite Bagged Vacuum.

Order Royal RY3050 Procision Full Size Canister Vacuum Cleaner


I love this vacuum so much I bought a second one. The suction power on this thing is great. I have both hardwood floors and carpet, so this vacuum can do it all. Also great for reaching up to my ceiling fans. I have a LARGE family as well as lots of pets that shed like crazy. This vacuum gets up everything, even the down fur under my dags coat that tens to stick to whatever it touches - pulls it right up!!! This is my 4th Royal vacuum and they usually last around 4 years with the kind of use I put them through. Can't complain. =)Get more detail about Royal RY3050 Procision Full Size Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Where To Buy Kenmore Canister Vacuum, Blue


If you were to read my other reviews (324 of them as of the time I penned this one) you will see that I have never, ever reviewed any household cleaning supplies or devices. There is a reason for this, and the fact that I am male, a lawyer and pushing sixty ought to give you some pretty strong clues. Now how I came to review this nice Kenmore is a long story and involves my mother-in-law. For a significant birthday milestone, I am not allowed to say which one, my mother-in-law took my wife on a long cruise and tour of Italy. This left me at home with two responsibilities-feed the cats and don't mess up the house. The former was comparatively easy; the second a bit more daunting. So I did what any red-blooded American husband would do-I secretly engaged a cleaning lady. My plan was upon her return she would see how nice and clean everything was and would trust me if she should ever again leave for an extended period during football season.

Like all plans of this kind, my plot was instantly uncovered for two basic reasons. The first was that the house was substantially cleaner than I am capable of making it. The second reason involved her being greeted by said cleaning lady when she walked in the door. My wife however is no fool and she told the cleaning lady to return regularly. In spite of the fact that our house has a central vac, the cleaning lady told my wife she preferred a Kenmore canister vacuum (I not making this up) and to keep her happy we bought her a really good one.

The story cannot end there however. You can't write a review about how easy it is to buy a vacuum cleaner. Imagine then my surprise when I was told to assemble it from the box and vacuum up the dead Christmas tree needles. Having done so I am now more than qualified to write a review. So here goes.

Assembly:

The vacuum comes in a box with even the bag inserted. All one has to do is take it out, plug in the hose and the power head (or other attachment), turn it on, and get to vacuuming.


Vacuuming:

Tugging around this canister is no more difficult than lugging a thirty foot central vac hose (okay so I have vacuumed before). The 360 degree swivel keeps the hose from kinking, so I was not constantly twisting the wand. The wand itself is made from aluminum and telescopes out about 3 feet. The power head can be used on bare floors or carpet and the switch conveniently goes from off to floor to carpet and is located on the handle grip. The floor setting will not work properly if the separate pile height setting on the power head is not set to XLO which is Sears-speak for extra low. There is a second power head gizmo for vacuuming stairs and if I am ever stupid enough again to buy another house with stairs I will amend my review to tell you how it does. Additionally there are many non-powered attachments for dusting (what's that?) and crevices.

Storage:

There is a place for all the tools including the power head. The storage of the power head required a quick trip to the owners manual for instructions. That does not diminish the utility of on-board storage for all the gizmos. It is a good idea and well executed.


Suggestions for improvements:

Like most men, I cannot see dirt. Many times my wife will point out areas where I was supposed to have vacuumed as being ignored. So a result of this, one obvious suggestion would be a GPS so I could tell if I have ever been over a particular patch of floor. A second suggestion would be a video monitor like in those new luxury cars that shows thats behind you. The sound of the vac while relatively quiet disguises any noise my wife makes when she is sneaking up to see if I am really working.Get more detail about Kenmore Canister Vacuum, Blue.

Miele Earth Canister Vacuum Cleaner S5481


This is a great vacuum. I thought long and hard about spending $1,000 on a vacuum. It was NOT an easy decision.
5 Stars for the vacuum itself but looses a star due to the attachments.

PROS:
The vacuum itself is great. Powerful suction, low noise (much lower than any other vacuum I've ever heard) which makes it less annoying to vacuum, the auto-power feature works well (remember, it's the amount of air flow that counts, unless your trying to pick up a bowling ball) and it's less strain on the motor, I definitely noticed the REAL HEPA filtering on this vacuum, no smell an no dust blowing around.

CONS:
The ergonomic handle is OK when using the floor attachments but makes dusting shelves and other items difficult when using the attachments. It is also bulking making it difficult to get under and around items. Their solution is to purchase the car cleaning kit or the micro kit at $150 - 175. For $1,000 it should have the option to remove the ergonomic handle. This would have been helpful.

Overall I'm happy with the purchase because I have bad dust allergies and no other vacuum has had real HEPA filtering. I decided my health was worth the expense.

Miele S2180 Titan Canister Vacuum - Chili Red Top Quality


I have owned my share of vacuums over the years. And like strollers, I kept trying to find the "one" that would be all I needed. I think I finally found it! About a month ago, I decided to put my Eureka Boss out to pasture and begin the search for a new vacuum. My FIL had a new Dyson vacuum that he seemed to like, so I started my research there. Boy, am I glad other reviewers recommended in their reviews to check out the Miele vacuums instead!

I live in a four story Colonial (basement is "unfinished", but we have rugs down where the washing machine is) and our walk-up attic was just refinished with wall-to-wall carpeting. On the other two "main" floors, it's mostly hardwood/tile and area rugs. So, we have many different floor surfaces requiring different maintenance needs! The more I researched Miele, the more I knew a canister vacuum was for me. I couldn't fathom trying to carry a heavy upright up and down all the different levels in my house. I found a local appliance store that sold Mieles and went to look at them myself. We bought one soon after through Amazon.

Here's what I like most about the Miele:
1. The retractable cord. It's a pet-peeve of mine that more appliances don't have this feature! And although the cord isn't super long, it's enough to do a room (at least in my house) and then unplug it to do another room.
2. The quietness. I just had a second baby and was worried about how I was going to keep the house clean with coordinating TWO nap and sleep schedules. The Titan (and I'm sure most other Mieles) resolve this issue by making it very quiet to use. I even used it in the room with my sleeping newborn and it didn't wake him!
3. The lightness. I can easily move this vacuum up and down the stairs with one hand. Don't know exactly what it weighs, but it's pretty light.
4. The different brushes and "heads" that attach to the hose. My Eureka had some of them, but they were such a pain to use. Switching out the brushes on the Titan is easy and quick. I never thought about vacuuming the top of the trim with my Eureka, but do all the time now with the Titan.
5. The powerbrush. This Miele comes with a powerbrush, which was essential for our house, because we have carpet, and some of it "thick pile". This powerbrush makes it easy to use on carpet and then by just pushing a switch on the handle, you can turn off the power (but not the suction) to the powerbrush and continue to vacuum the hardwood or tile floor. It's not as great as the hardfloor brush (which is also included), but it definitely works better to suck up dust and hairballs better than my Eureka ever did on hardfloor.
6. The filters. This model came with a HEPA filter, but we haven't even used it and the air quality (at least while vacuuming) seemed better! We don't have allergies (at least not indoor ones) though so I'm probably not the best person to believe.
7. The suction. It has six different levels of suction and even at the lowest suction end, it still managed to suck up more dirt than my Eureka ever could! (there's a piece of molding missing around a part on our floor and dirt falls in there like it's the grand canyon....the Titan removed it all, on the LOWEST suction setting!). The most amazing thing is that even with the brush attachments, it doesn't kick the dirt backwards, to be scattered across the floor again. It actually picks up the dirt on hard floor surfaces!

Things that could improve:
1. I wish there were a "handle" on the top of the unit, when it's on its three caster wheels. It would be nice to just pick it up as is and move it over a really high threshold or all the baby-gates we have in our house, without putting it on its "feet" first.
2. A place to store the "parquet floorbrush" on the vacuum itself. It's the only adapter/brush that doesn't have a "home" on the Titan.
3. Might also be nice to "retract" the hose that attaches the canister with the brush attachments, for storage. There seems to be a lot of hose to figure out how to wind around the handle before putting it away. Maybe they could figure out how to make the hose shorter sometimes and longer when you need it.

Overall, I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with this vacuum. And it's even gotten my husband (who NEVER vacuums) to vacuum once in a while! I'd definitely recommend this to my friends and family.Get more detail about Miele S2180 Titan Canister Vacuum - Chili Red.

Shark Power Pet Lightweight Canister Vac Best Quality


I got this Shark Power Pet Cannister Vac to vacuum up cat hair from my wood floors and area rugs. I will say, at first this vacuum did a great job. Now it's two and a half years later and this thing is nothing more than a sound machine. I only have one short haired cat and she really doesn't shed that much, especially living in california. So this vacuum, specifically designed to pick up pet hair, shouldn't have a problem vacuuming up her hair. It doesn't vacuum up anything, it runs at a really high pitch, and then it shuts itself off because it gets too hot. I have changed the filter on this thing and it didn't improve the situation. I have sent an email to the company and no response. I would not recommend buying this vacuum or any other product from this company, as its customer service is non-existent.Get more detail about Shark Power Pet Lightweight Canister Vac.

I already had one of these and got a second because my husband and I share the vacuuming. I love the fact it is super quiet and does a great job on hardwoods and area rugs. This is a slightly newer model than my first and the only thing I noticed is the newer one is not as quiet as the older--but it's still way quieter than any other vacuum I've ever had. All my kitties stay out while we vacuum, where as with the older louder ones, many would run and hide!Get more detail about Factory-Refurbished Electrolux Harmony Canister Vacuum EL6985B.

Bissell OptiClean Cyclonic Bagless Canister Vacuum Buy Now


I've been looking for a small vacuum to leave upstairs in my house so I wouldn't have to lug a heavy Sears POS canister vac around. I saw this in Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $99 and with a 20% off coupon i bought it for $80. This vac is relatively quiet, has very good suction, is light and the bag less feature doesn't bother me as i figure I'm saving money on bags. I have 2 dogs so pet hair is a problem but not with this vac. The only gripe I have and it is a minor one is the cord could be a little longer but it is retractable. I would give it a six star rating if it had a power nozzle but what do you expect for $80.Get more detail about Bissell OptiClean Cyclonic Bagless Canister Vacuum.

Miele : S5281 Callisto Canister Vacuum (Black) Order Now


This is a great machine. We never knew our carpets were not clean until we used the Miele Callisto. It is small, light weight, easy to maneuver, quiet, and works well on stairs. The suction in the power-head is excellent and requires very little physical effort to run on carpets or wood floors.

Miele vacuums are quite expensive. We never intended to spend a king's ransom for a vacuum cleaner. We coughed up the extra money for this vacuum cleaner because American made products were rated so low. The quality we once expected from American made products just is not there anymore.Get more detail about Miele : S5281 Callisto Canister Vacuum (Black).

Miele Pisces S5281 W Turbo Nozzle (Royal Blue) Right now


We thought long and hard before spending this much money for a vacuum. But, the rave reviews on MANY websites finally convinced us to buy the Miele S5281 Pisces vacuum. We had gone through several other vacuums, costing $300-$400 each, all of which met with a seemingly early demise. We are definitely not hard on vacuums and probably don't run them often enough!

The Miele vacuum is everything we thought it would be and more. It is about 1/2 the weight of our old vacuum and the design of the wheels make it VERY easy to pull around. The non-electric rug brush works very well, without pulling threads out of our rugs (like our old vacuum did). The parquet twister floor brush is a delight to use and allows access to many small areas we were unable to reach with our old vacuum. Our whole-house vacuuming time has been reduced about 30% by not having to continually change to small brushes for reaching those areas.

But, the BEST thing about the Miele is how VERY quit it is. We used to have to wear hearing protection with our other vacuum. The Miele is VERY quiet, even on its highest suction setting and just a whisper on the lowest setting.

Yes, the Miele line of vacuums is expensive. But, as with most things, you get what you pay for. They have well thought out designs and are built to last. If your budget will allow, you will NOT regret purchasing one of their vacuums.Get more detail about Miele Pisces S5281 W Turbo Nozzle (Royal Blue).

Low Price ReadiVac 35145 14-2/5-Volt Cordless Wet/Dry Handheld Vacuum Cleaner


I've owned this for about a year. Took good care of it, followed instructions, and didn't use it very frequently - no more than once every two weeks tops. Now the battery no longer holds any kind of charge - when it's turned on it emits a wimpery, sad little sound and has absolutely no suction. I did not purchase a cheapo model, I spent $40 on this and I expected it to last a lot longer and perform a lot better.

Cheapest Miele S2120 Delphi Canister Vacuum - Lotus White


I got this vacuum for Christmas (yes, I know. But in hubby's defense I actually asked for a new vacuum for Christmas). He did TONS of research to identify a canister vac that met my needs: had to use bags, had to be light and good with pet hair. By getting this as a gift cost wasn't as much of a concern as it was kind of a treat, and let me tell you--this is totally worth the cost. It's super light, super quiet, and super effective. I can vacuum while having a conversation, that's how quiet it is. And you can easily take it up and down the stairs. It has a handy little hook that allows you to connect the hose and bar to the canister so that you can carry it all with one hand.

It is so easy to take this vacuum out that I find myself cleaning more frequently than I did before. And its multi-level suction capability makes it perfect for everything from light cleaning of curtains to heavy-duty cleaning of high-traffic carpets. And the unexpected benefit that I love the most: you don't change the attachment when you switch from hard floors to carpet; the same head unit is used for both. I never thought about it, but just pushing a button when I switch rooms rather than having to disconnect and reconnect attachments is a HUGE timesaver. I love this vacuum!Get more detail about Miele S2120 Delphi Canister Vacuum - Lotus White.

Cheap Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Dark Blue


I've had this vac for a year and it's been great except like some of the others, the switch broke and I had to unplug it to turn it off. Unplug the vac and take out the screws that hold the handle together. It won't come apart completely but enough for the plastic piece that is used to turn it on and off to come off, it has the printed words 'carpet', 'floor', 'off'. The piece is poorly designed and therefore fails easily. Underneath is the real switch with a square black slider button. I moved the switch back and forth to make sure it wasn't stuck. I plugged in the vac and it turned off and on and it worked perfectly. I threw away the outside piece, screwed it back together and it works fine, It's just a little harder to reach but it's a easy fix.Get more detail about Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Dark Blue.

Buy Miele S5981 Capricorn W 236 Delux Power Nozzle


I purchased this vacuum cleaner in 2008. I moved into a new home.

Other vacuum cleaners were messy to empty, and just didn't do the job.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this vacuum cleaner. It came with the "Twister" Parquet Floor Brush (for hardwoods, and tile, and a Power head for carpeting. It is lightweight, and very quiet even turned up to max.

The Vacuum NEVER EVER EVER loses suction. It has a variable setting on the handle to control the amount of suction and sound. For hardwoods and tile, I turn it all the way up. I use this for my main living area (hardwoods) and in my bathroom with the twister floor brush. It makes cleanups a breeze. I have two cats, and keeping a dust free clean house used to be a chore.

The Powerbrush for carpets is so wonderful, it detaches, and has a headlight. It cleans the carpet quickly and never misses anything.

I dust my house with this vacuum cleaner as well, it has a hidden compartment with all the attachments you will need.
A general brush for dusting, window sills, and other things.

An upholstery brush for couches, and furniture. Speaking of brushes, The floor brush and general brush are maid from natural animal hair, and can be hand washed with some dish soap and let air dry.

Last but not least it comes with a skinny attachment to get in the nooks and crannies of the couch, pure bliss.

You can tell this machine was built right. Germans are well known for automobiles, and well Miele is no exception.
People often can't justify the $1,100.00 price tag for a vacuum cleaner, and I'm here to tell you, it's money well spent.
You will only need to buy a new vacuum every 15 years if you own a Miele.

How often can you say you enjoy vacuuming? My partner and I fight over who can clean!

Buying a new Vacuum? Buy a Miele PERIOD. It will give you years of great cleaning, and looks wonderful too.

Forget Dyson, they are made in China and are GARBAGE.

Where To Buy Metropolitan Professionals ADM-4PNHSF 13 Amp 4-Horsepower Canister Vacuum with Quadruple Hepa Filtration and Electric Power Nozzle


I have a lot of hardwood and tile floors and stairs. I also have some deep pile carpet and upholstery and a beloved kitty cat.

No seat in the house is too good for him to shed upon. As much as I love him, I don't like what he leaves behind. I had a Panasonic upright commercial vac for 15+ years that served me well and although still functions it is not right right for my new floor coverings, nor does it do a good job of removing the cat hair.

I am very pleased with this vacuum. I believe another reviewer wrote it could suck the chrome off a hitch -- that's an accurate assessment. It is powerful but has 2 settings, high and low so if you want to vacuum your hitch and leave the chrome intact you can.

Things that prevent me from giving it 5 stars:

Cord storage. My Panasonic had a manual wrap too but this machine has no way to keep the cord from raveling off when moving it. I got a velcro strap to remedy that.

No on board tool storage. I have to store the extra tools (crevice device, upholstery brush, etc) in a bag hanging in the garage where I keep the vacuum. A Kenmore canister I had had a lift top with storage for these.

There is no way these things would stop me from buying this vacuum again.

Someone commented that positive reviews for this vac were from Metropolitan employees. I don't know about that but I don't work for them and don't know anyone who does.

Miele : S4210 Carina Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Melon Yellow


When the hose split in 2 places on my 14 year old Miele, I did no research because I wanted another Miele - I've recommended the brand to anyone listening. I wonder if this vacuum is now manufactured by a different company? The S4 Carina is not nearly as good as my original (S2481) - the cord is at least a foot shorter (a real nuisance); the suction is vague and just skims the carpet; the new head is fatter and does not go under my furniture and to switch settings, the tab is too stiff for my toe, so I must bend down to switch from floor to rug (I have area rugs so this is no good) - fortunately, I simply attached my original head (the new one is relegated to the back of the closet) - which slides under furniture and can be "adjusted by toe". (though the suction is of course, poor). Maneuverability is awkward.
I resent that I spent so much money because I trusted this brand. If your vacuuming needs are limited to a small floor-only area, and light-weight is important to you, then if the price is right, this vacuum is fine. Otherwise, keep shopping.Get more detail about Miele : S4210 Carina Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Melon Yellow.

Miele S4582 Eclipse Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review


The rug beater head of my 30 year-old Eureka Ironsides finally broke and I decided it was time for a new vacuum. After some searching, I decided on this Miele Eclipse model and have been very pleased with it. It is significantly smaller, lighter, and far more quiet than my old vacuum.

I used to use the rug beater on the carpet in one room only as I have oriental rugs elsewhere. I found the Miele suction to be so good that a beater was not needed. The Miele floor/carpet combo head works well with the oriental rugs and the bare wood floor.

The electric cord is a few feet shorter than on my old unit and might be longer. One welcome change is that there is no odor being spread about while vacuuming. The bag and filter do their jobs quite well.Get more detail about Miele S4582 Eclipse Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

I was looking for a powerful canister vac with a powered floor brush so I could clean under the bed and the sofa.

I bought this last year when I moved into NYC apartment. Overall, it cleans the apartment because of the good suction. However, the wands fly apart EVERY TIME! Even after I put them together squeeze real hard! Dammit, I have to say, it's really frustrating! I wish I didn't buy it! Now I'm stuck with it!Get more detail about Panasonic MC-4620 Bagless Straight-Suction Canister Vacuum.

Shark 7.2V Cordless Hand Vac - SV772 Get it now!


We only gave this four stars because we haven't had it very long. But so far, it has done everything we've wanted it to do. Picks up coffee grounds from in between the tiles in our kitchen and whiskers from my fiance's shaving in the morning. It's great and inexpensive.Get more detail about Shark 7.2V Cordless Hand Vac - SV772.

Hoover S1361 Portable Canister Vacuum Buy Now


you get what you pay for. Almost every part of this poorly designed vac cleaner has a fault. so let's start:
1) carpet/ floor nozzle doesn't stay in "brush setting" for hardwood floor
2) nozzle falls off
3) Connecting hose falls off the metal wand all the time and hits your toes/foot - ouch!!
4) cheap plastic hose twists and kinks off, resulting in loss of suction
5) the plastic body housing the vac mechanism constantly goes belly up everytime you manouvre it
6) cord got tangled inside housing after 8 months, I had to take the orange cover apart to fix it (harder than it sounds)
7) useless accessory brush - too small a footprint to do anything useful with it
8) poor suction even when it's turned up to MAX
9) holder for the wand broke off after 3 months, cheap plastic thing that's obviously not strong enough to withstand the torque of a long wand resting on it
10) So loud when it's going you better wear an earmuff if you don't want to go deaf prematurely

DO NOT waste your hard earned 60 bucks on this piece of crap!Get more detail about Hoover S1361 Portable Canister Vacuum.

Bosch BSA2101UC COMPACT VACUUM Decide Now


Since we have wooden floors through out, I bought this vacuum cleaner for the rugs. Suction is good and adjustable. This vacuum cleaner is light, easy to carry stairs up and down. The big wheels are a good design feature, it makes it easy to move around when using. I have had it over a year now, and I am still content with this cleaner. The only drawback are the bags, they are not cheap.Get more detail about Bosch BSA2101UC COMPACT VACUUM.

Metro Vacuum OV-4BCSF Professional 13-Amp 4-Horsepower Compact Canister Vacuum with Quadruple Hepa Filtration and Inflator Adaptor Right now


Product description was thorough, and the product delivers what was promised--power, manageability, healthy cleaning and easy maintenance. It performs like a full-size vac. While in use, there is no byproduct to irritate/exacerbate allergies. On the contrary, the air feels and smells cleaner. It's perfect for a small household and dorm living, for which it was purchased. Although I've a large household with a central vac system, I intend to purchase an additional Metro Vac for places where no central vac has gone before--the attic and the car. However, I'd like one that is bagless, in which a reusable, cleanable container collects the debris that can be manually disposed. The only criticism concerns the attachments: It would be nice if they could be a little larger.Get more detail about Metro Vacuum OV-4BCSF Professional 13-Amp 4-Horsepower Compact Canister Vacuum with Quadruple Hepa Filtration and Inflator Adaptor.

Lowest Price Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner


We went out shopping for a new canister vacuum when my other one broke and stumbled up on this on clearance at BrandsMart for $88. It has awesome suction, cool design, and even gets around my baseboards since there is no hose. only drawback are the small bags. I have 2 dogs that shed and get pine straw and stuff stuck to their hair so I vacuum every couple days and I seem to be changing the bag after like 2-3 uses. We did go ahead and buy a few when we purchased but I am going to look into buying a large amount at once to save money. It is very lightweight and takes up very little space. We have hard woods, rugs, and carpet and it works well for all three. My living room rug has never looked so clean. I see why people pay the money for this brand.Get more detail about Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner.

Save Shark 15.6V Cordless Hand Vac - SV736k


I bought this vacuum from the store after I lost my previous hand vac in a move. (the previous one was a different model and worked really well) After owning this vacuum for about a month I have already trashed it. I could not get this vacuum to pick up even the little stuff. I've actually had to bend down and stuff small items into the vacuum. Also, unless I hold it at just the right angle to the floor it won't pick up anything. I have only been using it on hardwood though, so perhaps it works better for carpet. It just didn't work for me.Get more detail about Shark 15.6V Cordless Hand Vac - SV736k.

Discount Miele : S5281 Callisto Canister Vacuum


After paying nearly $900 for what was supposedly the best filtration system for a family with allergies, I expected a high performance and reliable product. Unfortunately like my German cars, it suffered from detail issues. The power heard was intermittent and try getting this fixed under warranty. It went to "Ze schopp" for a few months and came back to try again. Except the hose fell off. Yep, right at the canister body. "No problemo, looks like this was made to just snap in". And off. In. And off. Back to Ze Schopp. Meanwhile wife went to Walmart and bought a GE HEPA for $89. Sorry to say this the GE works just as well, is quieter, and well, it works while the Miele is getting a new CPU or something.Get more detail about Miele : S5281 Callisto Canister Vacuum.

Cheapest Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Cyclonic Bagless Canister Vacuum


I have owned many vacuums - most of them too heavy or too difficult to change from carpet to tile. The attachments of this vacuum are easy to use and it is light weight. The canister doesn't hold a lot but I would rather empty a small one more often to have the super suction and convenience of a canister. It takes care of the pet hair on furniture and floors. If you have a large home or don't like to empty the container often, try something else. This little guy is great for smaller homes & apartments & those who don't like to work hard at vacuuming.Get more detail about Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Cyclonic Bagless Canister Vacuum.

Buying Miele Delphi S2120 Canister Vacuum Cleaner


My husband and I have been shopping for a good vacuum because we have 2500 square feet of tile, wood and three low pile area rugs along with a 9 yr old son, two dogs and live in a sandy, woody area. All of our family suffers from allergies and our son suffers with asthma so I was pleased about the filtration system that Miele offers.

I took my "dirty" area rug to my local Miele dealer which had about two weeks of dirt along with dog hair since our Hoover died. We put the Miele Delphi to the test and it cleaned the rug beautifully!!! I was instantly sold and brought the new Miele home. I would've ordered online but I really needed to try it out in the store because of my dog's hair.

I have spent 2 hours vacuuming everything I can possibly vacuum!!! The floors, ottoman, baseboards, lamp shades and I'm loving it. It is hard to believe that someone can get so excited about a vacuum. I gave the Delphi a 4 star rating only because I found it maneuvered a bit awkwardly over the power cord at times. I think it would be great if they could design the powerhead to "lock" upright when you want to take a break rather than attaching it to the canister to "park" it. Despite these two items I've mentioned, I am still extremely happy with my purchase.

I know I made the right decision on buying the Miele and look forward to years and years of cleaning. My car is next.....after I recover from my marathon today!!!

Buy Miele S2180 Titan Canister Vacuum - Chili Red


I've had a Dyson for the past 5 years. After owning my Miele for a week I've been shocked about how much dirt the Dyson had been leaving behind. My hardwood floors and area rugs have never looked cleaner... and that's saying something as I'm a clean freak with 3 kids and I vacuum everyday. The powerbrush feature is a must. Without it it's not worth having. It made one of my old rugs look brand new and the brush head itself works great on hardwood floors (with the powerbrush function turned to off for floors). The other attachments are also great for cleaning curtains, ceilings, baseboards, etc. If your home is mostly hardwood floors and you've owned an upright previously you'll wish you'd purchased a canister vacuum long ago.

This vacuum didn't get 5 stars from me because of the cord length. It boasts and extra long cord which makes me wonder what on earth the regular cord must be like. I had to unplug and replug my Dyson 2-3 times to clean the downstairs floor of my house. I have to unplug and replug the Miele 7-8 times! I find this so irritating that I took off a star, and almost took of 2 stars.

I honestly don't know if it is worth $600 or the heart attack my husband had when he opened up my Amex bill. Not having had a chance to compare it to a less expensive machine I can't be sure. I am however a vacuum cleaner fanatic and in my experience you get what you pay for.Get more detail about Miele S2180 Titan Canister Vacuum - Chili Red.

Purchase Hoover S3755 Bagless WindTunnel Canister


Yes, it's true. After 3 months the electrical connection (inside of the hose) from the controls in the wand handle to the motor in the rug beater - developed a break in the wire. I should have used the warranty but found a way to twist the hose so that a connection is achieved. You know, it's really too bad Hoover just doesn't own up and do a recall - Hoover is a great brand and this model COULD HAVE been a great buy. NO. Don't buy one.Get more detail about Hoover S3755 Bagless WindTunnel Canister.
