Bosch BBZ121HDUC Hard Floor Brush for the BSG Canister Vacuum Series Best Quality


This floor brush is exactly what I was hoping for. It fits the vacuum perfectly and does the job required. Bosch SHOULD sell this with the vacuum itself. I don't care for the brush that ACTUALLY comes with the bosch vacuum, as it does not have the bristles and on my Mexican tile could cause sand to scratch the finish. Thank you for having this item for sale!!!Get more detail about Bosch BBZ121HDUC Hard Floor Brush for the BSG Canister Vacuum Series.

Miele S5280 Pisces Caniser Vacuum Cleaner w/205 Turbo-Brush Immediately


After long research, I chose the Miele Pisces a year ago. This is the first vacuum I can really say that I love. It's light and has great power. I have mostly bare floors and 3 - 5 long haired dogs in the house at any given time. It it doing great, except the turbo brush just doesn't work well any more despite a thorough cleaning. If you have rugs, you need something else or a power handle Miele.Get more detail about Miele S5280 Pisces Caniser Vacuum Cleaner w/205 Turbo-Brush.

Miele S5281 Pisces Blue Canister Vacuum Top Quality


I bought this on Amazon from Mr. Vacuum and Ms. Sew to replace my Hoover wind tunnel. I have had two Hoover wind tunnels that have lasted an average of 3-4 years. Before that I had a Eureka vacumn cleaner.

I bought this vacuum based on the review of others and the expected life of this vacuum cleaner. I haven't had much opportunity to use the vacuum so far, but I noticed a big plus is the noise level is much quieter than any of my previous vacuum cleaners. The wand can be adjusted which is a great plus. My husband made the comment that after I am done cleaning the house the air does not smell like dust. I also like the different levels to set the suction power and the retractable cord.

I will update this rating as I use the various features.Get more detail about Miele S5281 Pisces Blue Canister Vacuum.

Bosch Compact Plus Health Guard Canister Vacuum Cleaner BSA 2200UC This instant


My mom actually gave me this vacuum a few years ago, and she herself had it for several years. So it is durable and long-lasting, I'm sure it has many miles left in it. No parts have ever broken, and I'm not a gentle person and have definitely bumped and smacked it against a lot of furniture, walls, and corners.

The suction is acceptable - however there is no beater bar. There is no beater brush to pick up hairs from the carpet - I guess it's just sucking up lots of dust and debris, but hair is always left behind, and it's difficult to see unless you get right down on the carpet. In common areas, it's not an issue, but in the bedroom... I never knew my husband could shed so much. His hair is all over the floor, and while there is a brush strip on the front edge of the vaccuum, this fills with hair and lint so quickly, it's useless in two minutes. Unless, of course, you pick out the hair and lint by hand. And then you can vacuum for another two minutes.

The bare floor performance is excellent on the wood and tile (in my mother's house) and the linoleum (in my apartment) and while it does keep my wall-to-wall carpet cheerio, goldfish cracker, and cookie crumb-free, the hair issue is really bothering us. If you have long hair that piles into dustbunnies in the corners of your room, this vacuum will flatten out the dustbunnies until they are nearly invisible as an extra layer of carpet.

This vacuum's saving grace is that it is very QUIET. VERY. QUIET. If you want to vacuum while people are sleeping - this is the vacuum for you. If you are a fairly neat person with only everyday adult wear and tear to deal with - this is the vacuum for you. It's tiny and the bags are easy to find online. They even come with a sticker so that you can cover up the hole when you are throwing the bag away. It's not a bad vacuum at all, I just wish it came with a beater brush attachment. It's perfect for me in every other way.Get more detail about Bosch Compact Plus Health Guard Canister Vacuum Cleaner BSA 2200UC.

Sanitaire Boss Mighty Mite Specialty Vacuum SC3683A



I bought a top of the line Eureka Sanitaire cannister vacuum for $300. I have a receipt for 4 belts-$12 total, which I purchased at the same time. Now the belts are $12 each. I have a accessories list for the vacuum that offers the motor filter for $2; now it is almost $20--for a square of foam!

If you are using this vacuum for miles of office carpet, it might work OK, but be aware!!! Many Eureka cannisters do not have a way to adjust the roller brush up and down; your oriental rugs and longer fiber carpets will be chewed to bits. They certainly do not tell you that, neither will they replace the vacuum with one that adjusts, even if still under warranty.

Three thousand dollars of damage done to my rugs, and Eureka's attitude seems to be "too bad, so sad".

Electrolux EL6988D Oxygen Canister HEPA Vacuum - Deluxe Kit Review


The vacuum cleaner is great, according to a cleaning professional who used it. However it came without the extra filter and five extra bags that were supposed to be included with the vacuum in the deluxe kit.

Lowest Price Aerus Legacy Canister Vacuum Cleaner


... for those who have never used a Miele. Since I bought my Miele, my Electrolux gets exactly zero use. My grandmother raised me on Electrolux, but times have changed. This is not your grandmother's Electrolux. Miele has more power and is better on virtually every type of flooring. It is particularly strong on pet hair. This is important with our beloved Sussex Spaniel. And, my allergies have nearly disappeared. The Miele is also quieter and costs about $400 less. I do not work for or sell the Miele (they are German-made), but I believe that it is important for people to compare before they buy. This is particularly true for any vacuum cleaner that is not a "throw-away," like Hoover, Kenmore, etc. You'll live with a good vacuum cleaner for years, so look at both before you plop down your hard-earned dollars.Get more detail about Aerus Legacy Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

We ordered this vacuum after seeing one a friend had that impressed us with how very QUIET it was when operating. It is pricey, but is like a BMW of vacuums with high quality German engineering.

Save Readivac 36010 Tiny Turbo 1000-Watt Canister Vacuum, Red


Just received and tried. Vac is really light, really powerful, nice looking. Picks up dust no problem. Drawbacks: paper dust bag is small; probably it will require replacement once a week. Still unknown how much is 'lifetime dust bag replacement' for delivery. I let you know when I know. Hose is made of plastic, so, a lot of dust on it after vacuuming.

Discount Sebo Canister Vacuums - air belt K2 Canister


I hate to vacuum and for years used lower-priced models, which I found noisy and awkward to use. Then I tested the Sebo K2 and was instantly hooked. Its powerful suction gets the job done quickly and it's highly efficient, but what I love most about it is its ease of operation and quietness. It's so quiet my cat doesn't even wake up. The best way I can describe it is think of a Rolls Royce compared to a Lada. Who knows? I might even start to like vacuuming........The only reason I haven't given this dream machine 5 stars is because after all, it is pricey and you should get what you pay for and I think the power cord's a bit too shortGet more detail about Sebo Canister Vacuums - air belt K2 Canister.

Buy Sebo Canister Vacuums - air belt K3 Canister with ET-H Power Head


I debated about six months before taking the plunge and treating myself with this vacuum. Have had it three years now, and it still operates like new.

Before getting this SEBO, I was buying a new vacuum for around $100-$150 almost every year. At first the cheap vacuum worked great, loud but great. A year later it would need repair costing more than it was worth, and I'd buy a new one.

Hoping this SEBO is the last vacuum I ever need to buy. Looks like it just might be. Recommended!Get more detail about Sebo Canister Vacuums - air belt K3 Canister with ET-H Power Head.

Cheapest SEBO C-3 / ET-1 POWER BRUSH


After years of using my mothers 40 yo hand-me-down Electrolux, I decided it was time to get a "better" vacuum. I began experimenting with "new technology". Several years and several trashed vacuum cleaners later, I decided to get serious. Cheap vacuums don't work or break within the year. Bagless vacuums can work, but when you empty them, 25 percent of the dust goes right back in the air. Then you have to clean your dirt AGAIN when you clean the canister or the filters. Uprights just don't clean as well as Canisters.
So after much research I settled on the SEBO. What a pleasure. The handle is actually designed to move the way your wrist works. What a concept. It is so quiet, I actually thought it wasn't working at first. You can lay the handle absolutely flat and vacuum all the way under the bed/couch. You can "dim" the power with a touch of a button right on the handle to go over those fringed edges and throw rugs. And the canister follows you around on wheels like a little dog. No dragging it behind you. The little bumber all the way around lets it go around corners and furniture without damaging everything. All my walls and furniture had the telltale bumb mark from my big heavy Electrolux canister. No more. The small tools are onboard so there is no digging around for them, or going back to find them while cleaning. And, here is the best, the handle "parks" in the upright position. No more trying to jam the handle in the back of the closet. Did I mention it telescopes too? So you can shrink it to its smallest size, park it right next to the cannister, which also sits upright, all your tools are on board, not floating around with the gloves. OH, and it REALLY WORKS. LOVE IT!Get more detail about SEBO C-3 / ET-1 POWER BRUSH.

Cheap Dirt Devil 0216SKY Kurv Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Harbor Sky


Makes clean-up quick and simple.
Easy to use and clean (empty after use).
Attractive enough to keep out at all times and therefore available for use at anytime.
Holds the charge well.
Amazing what it picks up that you don't even see!
Love the Kurv and recommend it highly!
Thank you Dirt Devil for a wonderful product and Amazon.com for a fantastic price!
(A previous review had mentioned debris coming out of the exhaust vents but in actuality it is just the exhaust blowing around dust, dog hair, etc. that is on the surface being cleaned. The filter is not allowing debris to escape from the vacuum.)

Cheap Miele : S5580 Aquarius Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Capri Blue


Pros
* Cleans well
* Extremely quiet and pets tolerate it better than most
*When you turn it on, the motor gradually revs up. Automatic suction also protects the motor from getting burned out if something gets clogged in the nozzel. Great variable height and speed.

Cons,
* Crevice tool is too short (compared to Kenmore or other cheaper models)
* Floor brush, attaches clumsily to the side while not in use
* Top of the canister tends to scratch easily so don't use it in the garage
* Brushes have to be cranked 'just so' to fit into the canister
* After 6mo the 'bag full' indicator always indicates that the bag needs changing. Give me a break!
* Hose does not swivel well

Summary. For $1K, somewhat disappointing. Great motor...but the accessories that are needed to do heavy duty cleaning are sadly lacking.

The company needs to improve on the details. Outdo the competition on the accessories by adding an LED light to the bare floor brush. Accessories should fit easily into the canister. A 2' longer cord would be nice.

If you want to sell more,fix the details!

Discount Sanitaire SP6952A SystemPro Canister Vacuum Cleaner


This is a great vacuum, and far exceeded my expectations. I had been searching around for a canister vacuum that was rated to work well on carpets and hardwood. Most of them apparently work better for hardwood, but this one works amazingly well on carpets (powerful suction)- better than any vacuum I've ever owned in the past. I don't particularlly think its a good idea to use the powerhead on hardwood, but you have the option of shutting off the powerhead to prevent scratches, or purchase the additional floor tool- which is a great attachment and works wonders. I have also found the dusting attachment to be a great aid in quickly dusting wood furniture and other items. You can't go wrong with this price (currently $180-$200). This outbeats any other vacuum I have purchased commercially. I am more than satisfied with my purchase and would strongly recommend to others. I am writing this review because I was unable to find any other reviews online when I searched, so I hope this is helpful to others.Get more detail about Sanitaire SP6952A SystemPro Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Order BOSCH BSG71310 Formula M Class Canister Vacuum Cleaner


I love this vacuum. The good points:
*It is light (about 12lbs.) and easy to carry up/down stairs
*It is quiet when running (for a vacuum cleaner anyway)
*Has 3 onboard attachments- they're stored neatly under a little door on the vac body
*HEPA filtration
*Rectractable cord
*Handle telescopes in/out so you can change the length
*Looks super cute and stylish. Looks as nice as a Miele at a much better price
*Easy to change the bags

I didn't give it 5 stars because I don't like the way the vac head and the attachments attach to the main handle. You just push them together and hope they hold. There is no "click" or latch to hold them together. I was using it yesterday and the head just plopped off. I had to stop and push it back on, but then it stayed. Also, the replacement bags are a bit pricey, but that's part of the nice air filtration, so I don't mind too much. Overall, it's been a GREAT machine so far.Get more detail about BOSCH BSG71310 Formula M Class Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Cheapest Bissell Healthy Home Vacuum - 5770


Needed a new vacuum and lots of great reviews for this one. My experience just didn't seam quite as good. We got the first unit home and there were parts missing. You have to put the handle and Cord storage pieces on your self. The item didn't have any screws to do this so I took that one back for a new one. The new one did come with the screws but the brush would only work for about 30 seconds then stop. If you waited a few minutes, it would start working again. When it did work, it worked like a charm but I can't stop every 30 seconds to wait 2 minutes... I don't know if it overheated or was faulty but it would work and then, out of no where, stop. So, third time's a charm, I went back and got one more. The last one, the brush switch wouldn't turn off the brush. By now, I've had it. I took the last one in and just got the Dyson DC25 Animal. Hasn't stopped working... yet...Get more detail about Bissell Healthy Home Vacuum - 5770.

Save MetroVac Stainless Steel/Chrome Canister Vac - OV4PNHSF


Just a quick review. This vacuum cleaner is pretty small. I found the suction good but the dust bag is about 1/4 of the vacuum (the rest is the motor) so that may affect the suction by filling up too quick. Have not got to that point yet. I think the size of the dust bag could be compared to a large breakfast cereal bowl. I just have one large room with carpet so the size is not an issue for me. The power head works well. There are a couple of fundamental design flaws. The first is that the power wire from the canister to the power head prevents the flexable hose from staying attached to the vacuum. The canister has ~2inch metal tube sticking out. The hose slips on over the metal tube but by adding on the power lead they have a little plug that prevents the hose from getting a snug connection. This means I cannot move the vacuum around by letting the hose pull it. On the other end of the canister is the blowing end which again has ~2inch metal tube sticking out but on this one you do not use the power head so the plug is not an issue and they also have a bump on the tube to improve the tube to hose connection. It blows pretty good so you have to be careful where that end of the vacuum is pointing. I think it is more designed to be carried around like a backpack so the poor hose connection would not be as much of a problem (but it still is) and then the blower end would be pointing down which would not be as much of a problem. I plan on fixing the blow problem by getting a 90 degee tube connection if I can. As for the power plug it needs to plug in on the side not the connection end of the hose. Might need to do some cutting and duct tape to fix that :( Without the power plug on the hose it connects up well enough. I think it is well made in terms of quality (good materials etc) but the poor design for the power head wiring is a fundamental flawGet more detail about MetroVac Stainless Steel/Chrome Canister Vac - OV4PNHSF.

Shop For Miele S4780 Orion Galaxy Canister Vacuum ( Black )


I bought my Miele in 2007 and I have had no problems with it -- and it's now 2010. It works beautifully, is quiet, well designed, and easy to operate. Changing bags and filters is easy. Everything seems to easily click and lock into place. I can't think of anything negative.

Today, I called customer support because I thought I had a problem. Turns out I was just technically challenged and learned how to fix my problem after a quick, troubleshooting session with a highly personable, helpful, and competent agent. What a joy; this is how customer support SHOULD work. I would buy another Miele when this one dies - which doesn't seem likely anytime soon.Get more detail about Miele S4780 Orion Galaxy Canister Vacuum ( Black ).

Low Price Kenmore Canister Vacuum, Intuition


I bought a kenmore intuition vacuum cleaner less than 1 year ago. The telescoping wand broke--just was vacuuming one day and it seperated, the two metal poles just slid apart. Additionally I had been having problems with the motor--it vacuumed fine when it was on, but if I turned off the vacuuum (but left it plugged in) the motor would start-up in bursts of 1 or 2 seconds--very annoying.

I sent the vacuum back for repair and indicated that I felt that sears/kenmore should fix the vacuum at their cost since I spent $500-$600 for this vacuum, and that it wasn't even a year old. They said that it was not under warranty and would not fix it. I ask them if they stood by their products and they responded with "did you buy the extended warranty?" I asked them again if that was necessary for them to stand by their products and they said gave me more run-around. Never once did they mention that they make "quality" products or that their products have a good service record--seems even the employees don't believe it. It was all about getting "more money" for the repair.

I purchased this vacuum a week ago and first had problems with the instructions that did not tell you how to correctly put the handle, etc. on. Plus, they shorted me one screw! Anyway, I was not impressed with the vacuum after having played with all of the height settings. I have two cats and I had to go over the same spots several times to get the hair up (it just rolled the hair into balls on the carpet) Also, it did not pick up larger pieces of dirt very well. I had to return it to the store. I'm now in search of a good vacuum!Get more detail about Dirt Devil Reaction.

Other canister vacuums got in my way,didn't follow well and I grew tired of dragging around the bulk of uprights. I like this one because it is light weight, comfortable to carry on my back, and has a very strong suction.(I bought the carpet attachment) It does a fantastic job and I can knock out the job in a short amount of time.

Lowest Price Rainbow Canister Bagless Pet SE PE PN2 Vacuum Cleaner W/


Our rainbow has been passed on from our parents to me and my brother. Our vaccum is over 12 years old and we have never had to replace a single part for it, nothing has even broken and it works just as good as it did the day we bought it. Our whole family has really bad allergies and we have a dog, I vaccum the whole house every few days and our allergies arent an issue anymore at home! It never ceases to amaze me how much dog hair and dirt I can get out of the furniture and carpet with this product, its simply amazing! We use the pine scent when we vaccum and the house smells good for about a day. It is irritating to have to find a place to dump all the gunk it picks up (it will kill the grass where you empty it be careful) but its worth it to keep my house clean. I would rather empty this vaccum out everyday for the rest of my life than even consider using a different vaccum.

I like this vacuum very much. It is small and light weight and has a longer than usual suction tube. We have mostly hard floors and the attachment for that works very well. Unlike others I've had in the past that just rattle over the surface ineffectively, this one actually works. I have had trouble with the wand detaching from the tube part and the attachment brush doesn't pivot on the wand, but these are small issues and I have adapted.

Dyson DC07 All Floors Vacuum Order Now


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.

Aqua Kenmore Canister Vacuum Best Quality


I paid 170 for this at Sears and bought the 60 dollar warranty. The suction is great. It is not loud for a vacuum. It has a power head, as in electricity powers the brush rolers, not suction, so performance is consistent.

Someone mentioned the bags being too small for the unit. It does seem so at first, but actually they puff out into a sort of cubed shape like a popcorn bag, so they actually do fit the compartment. You have three different bag options which are a hepa bag, fine particle bag and then just regular plain old vacuum bags. I went with the middle of the road. But the bag prices are very reasonable. I think I got 8 bags for 10 bucks. The hepa type, if I remember were two bags for 15, and the regular bags were like 15 for 10 dollars.

What I didn't like most upon deciding, since I went to sears and checked them all out, were the cheap feeling plasic compartment doors that hold the accessories. It feels like it will just break off if you open it, but it doesn't.

I have four types of flooring, rough hand laid cement, low grade plywood, unfinished pine, and area rugs (the kind from walmart), It worked great on all these types.

I also have a woodstove, so my house accumulates dust fast, plus I have a bunch of kids and live in the country and alot gets tracked in from the outside. This vacuumed up the fine dust generated from the woodstove, cobweb, bits of cement, sheetrock, and fiberglass, dust bunnies, everything... no problem. I pick up larger debris before vacuuming such as woodchips and toys. I pretty much just keep in mind the diameter of the hose and if I think it could get lodged in the hose or not.

Ok, so you get the power head for carpet. It has about four different height settings, works great. The onboard tools include a bare floor attachment, works great and has a short row of bristle on both sides of it. There is an upholstry tool that works great. I have some fabric covered walls (that old 90's office type) and it vacuumed cobweb and dust-lint off them and they look nice again. And it has a crevice tool. I used to own a eureka boss and used the dust brush attachment alot. This did not come with one, but I ordered one for 10 and it should arrive soon. I like to dust with my vacuum. I wish it had come with that attachment. Also, if you order it at the sears store you don't have to pay shipping and they will ship it to your house free.

I don't have pets, so no idea how it does on dog hair. I do have a dog that visits occasionally, but it is short haired. I don't notice any dog hair in my house.

Also, this vacuum uses the same motor as all the Kenmore canisters. The only reason I didn't go with the orange colored one, which is priced just below this one is because the metal rod that attaches to the hose and power head doesn't connect and disconnect as easily. I just thought the other one would be too inconvenient.

I vacuum alot so the features are important to me, but I'm also very conservative with my money so I only buy what I need and no more. The more expensive ones are way more attractive, but this one is very lightweight and portable. I am a very petite person and the nicer vacuums seemed more cumbersome to me. I had also considered a miele vacuum. I think this is a way better value for the money. With the warranty, this is covered indefinately. For 60 dollars I get a 5 year warranty which I can renew every 5 years. They service it free every year for free, and if anything fails on it in between, it is still free to have repaired, not including belts bags and filters, naturally.

Also I had no problem carrying this while using it. Like when I used it to clean the top shelf of the kitchen cabinets, where the rod isn't convenient because you have to be close and lay the brush flat for scrubbing.

I havent used this in my vehicle yet, but as a tip, I keep an extension cord on a cord reel I got at walmart for 10 dollars, and I unwind it to my vehicle when I use my little green machine to shampoo the carpets. That way your cord doesn't get dirty on your machine, just the extention cord which I leave outside. I hope this info helps!!!! I recommend this over any other vacuum!!!!Get more detail about Aqua Kenmore Canister Vacuum.

Electrolux #3276AZ Whirl Pet Lover Vacuum Get it now!


...though I haven't had many vacuums. This vacuum, as far as I can tell, has excellent suction that picks up all my pet hair (I have two long-haired Maine Coons) and the pet-paw attachment is fantastic for furniture, pillows, the cat tree, etc.

The "self cleaning" duster attachment, however, sucks; it's easier to clean the duster with the hose than with the special chamber they built for it. Also, the lever they installed to direct the suction to the duster-chamber broke off recently and I can't even superglue it back on because of the kind of plastic it's made of.

For the price I paid ($130 at Walmart), great vacuum though I suspect it won't last many years like a more quality one might.Get more detail about Electrolux #3276AZ Whirl Pet Lover Vacuum.

Miele : S5280 Pisces Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Royal Blue Order Now


I have two mieles. My old one is great. They have cheapened the new models as follows: 1, the hose union with the vacuum no longer swivels. This means the vacuum cleaner goes head over heals and ends up upside-down; 2) the power and cord rewind switches have now been put on angles so that your foot slips off and it is very hard to turn on and off and rewind the cord. They were too stupid to realize that when the appliance is on wheels and you put the switches on at an angle, rather than parallel with the floor, the machine just scoots away. Don't buy.Get more detail about Miele : S5280 Pisces Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Royal Blue.

Sanyo SC-S700P Powerhead Canister Vacuum Cleaner Decide Now


My mom and I both bought this vacuum cleaner based on a sales recomendation. Both of our vacuum handles have broken so we cannot attach the sweeper to the top part of he hose. I would understand this could be a fluke break if it happened to just one of the vacuums but it happened to both in the exact same spot. Cheaply made. Would not buy another one again.Get more detail about Sanyo SC-S700P Powerhead Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Bissell 7100 Zing Canister Vacuum Cleaner With Bag Change Indicator Right now


this is my first vacuum and because i have hard wood floors and a few mats and area rugs scattered around the house, i thought this would suit me right.
It is lightweight to carry around and has a 2oft cord so i can easily get one room done in one go. The suction is not quite what i expected but it is a great buy as it really does pick up alot and leaves the floor very clean.
I guess i am picky, i wanted to hear alot of "suction" noise to feel i was doing a good job, but with a new baby in the house, she barely notices i have it on.

I am overall please with the purchse. i gave it four stars becuase i have not been able to purchse the bags for it but i will be searching..Get more detail about Bissell 7100 Zing Canister Vacuum Cleaner With Bag Change Indicator.

Lowest Price Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner EL6989A Oxygen Ultra Canister


I bought this vacuum cleaner last October. Do not buy this product! It began falling apart as soon as I started using it. The crappy plastic clip will not hold the head to the wand and no one has been able to fix it. It is cheaply made and not really that easy to use. Buy something else or you'll be spending alot of time going to the repair shop. Electrolux does not want to deal with it and would not exchange the vacuum cleaner. Next stop- complaints to consumer agencies.Get more detail about Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner EL6989A Oxygen Ultra Canister.

Save Dirt Devil 082550 Breeze Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner with Power Nozzle


I've had two of these for a few years. I bought them at the same time from a Sears surplus store. The power switch broke on one of them after maybe two years. "One of these days" I'll fix it. The other is still working OK.

These have a surprising amount of power and do a good job of sweeping. They are relatively compact and light weight. One consequence of the light weight is construction that is less than industrial strength in some spots, so the still working sweeper I have is showing its age. But, considering the price, I think that is to be expected.

Replacing the power head belt might be a challenge for those who have little mechanical ability. However, the power head uses a standard Royal #4 belt which you can get replaced at just about any commercial janitor supply.Get more detail about Dirt Devil 082550 Breeze Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner with Power Nozzle.

Discount Bissell Momentum Cyclonic Upright Vacuum


I bought this Bissell reading reviews on it and trusted the Bissell name. Well, the good thing about this vacuum is the suction on it. The suction of this vacuum is excellent but now for the bad thing about this vacuum is..it's very loud...very heavy and tips over easily when using the hose and the hose stretches out not too good. I now have to replace this vacuum since it's too heavy to lift up the stairs and is a nightmare when using the hose. I suggest passing on this vacuum if you're in the process of buying a vacuum. I have tried other vacuums such as the Oreck..excellent vacuum but has no attachments.Get more detail about Bissell Momentum Cyclonic Upright Vacuum.

Cheapest Miele S5280 Pisces Caniser Vacuum Cleaner w/205 Turbo-Brush


After long research, I chose the Miele Pisces a year ago. This is the first vacuum I can really say that I love. It's light and has great power. I have mostly bare floors and 3 - 5 long haired dogs in the house at any given time. It it doing great, except the turbo brush just doesn't work well any more despite a thorough cleaning. If you have rugs, you need something else or a power handle Miele.Get more detail about Miele S5280 Pisces Caniser Vacuum Cleaner w/205 Turbo-Brush.

Cheap Bissell 6900 DigiPro Canister Vacuum


And I have pretty much liked every single thing about it until last week. Let me start by saying I did not buy this vacuum here, I bought it at Walmart. My last upright vacuum broke and I was adamant about getting a canister vacuum due to hardwood and carpeted floors, light weight, and easier carrying up stairs. (The uprights are so damn heavy and my parents loved their Bissell canister vac from the 90's) I didnt really have any issues with this vacuum over the past year and a half. We have dogs and cats, no issues with sucking power or clogs. We have hardwood, carpet, tile, and stairs...no issues with ANY of those surfaces. With this vacuum I practically threw my brooms away. HOWEVER...last week my Bissell broke. I knew it was going to happen, I could tell. Certain pieces on this vacuum are FLIMSY AND PLASTIC when they should be metal, etc. The vacuum broke where the "Pole" meets the "Foot" (foot meaning the flat part where the brushes are). I wasnt vacuuming under anything, or around anything. It wasnt "knocked" or "hit" I was just vacuuming low carpet and the plastic literally snapped. It snapped below where the pole connects to the foot so the cable that connects them is still in tact but the pole and the foot have sharred plastic around them and no tape or glue will put it back together. Called Bissell and was told I needed to replace the Pole for $43.99 and the foot for $64.99, since both pieces obviously snapped apart, totaling $108.98. I just dont know that it's worth it. I wasnt blown away by this vacuum, although I had no real issues with it, my old upright did clean a little better. I will take my $108.98 and go buy a crap vacuum from Walmart...since they all seem to be disposable these days anyway.

Buying Miele : S251 Miele Plus Compact Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Royal Blue


We ordered this vacuum after seeing one a friend had that impressed us with how very QUIET it was when operating. It is pricey, but is like a BMW of vacuums with high quality German engineering. You can almost have a conversation while vacuuming, it is that quiet. Previous other brands have been soooo noisy that one risked hearing impairment if ear protection wasn't worn, this machine is a huge relief.Get more detail about Miele : S251 Miele Plus Compact Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Royal Blue.

Buy Miele Healthy Clean canister vacuum cleaner


I have had all the well known vacuums ove the past 30 years. As a child we had a canister. Didn't know how much I missed one til I got my Miele ....No more uprights for me. We have hard wood floors as well as a low loop carpet in some rooms. The other vacs were scratching the floor and pulling loops out of the carpet. I read up.... apparently I needed a suction only vac...no beaters
The blogs were overwhelmingly in favor of the Miele... but soooo many styles ...and a huge price difference. I settled on the Healthy Clean ...10 plus hours of research. Apparently when you go bigger... you get internal storage space... which I don't care about. It is so light... moves and turns well ... and VERY QUIET... can hardly hear it. GREAT on Dog Fur.
My housekeeper uses it most of the time ....she was the one scratching the floors ...for several years. She has other clients with a Miele.... hmmmmmmmmmmm The vacuum of choice for the too busy to vacuum people. Now I have discovered that several of my friends have them ... a hidden undercover group I guess..... plus I do use it off and on. Since it is not heavy it is a piece of cake to get out for a quick go around... we have 2 huge Huskey dogs.
We have No Complaints after a year... oh I told my husband it was his birthday present. He believed me ...something German ...something mechanical.... he is German. Hah!!!!Get more detail about Miele Healthy Clean canister vacuum cleaner.
