Eureka 3684F- Eureka 3684F Pet Lover Canister Vacuum Order Now


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. Definitely worth the money.Get more detail about Eureka 3684F- Eureka 3684F Pet Lover Canister Vacuum.

Kenmore Canister Vacuum, Intuition Get it now!


Too bad this is so poorly made with cheapo plastic parts and apparently zero quality control, 'cause it's a great machine with lots of innovative features when it's working. But mine has broken three times in 15 months with light use. Replaced the first time (continuously retracting cord + broken telescoping wand) under warranty. Took about a month for the new machine to develop the cord retraction problem. Kind of annoying to tie a knot in the electrical cord to be able to use a new, $500 vacuum cleaner. Then a plastic part snapped that held the wand to the body snapped. Again, repaired under warranty (but the one facility is inconvenient and you'll be w/out a vac for a couple of weeks). Now that it's not longer under warranty, the power floor tool for carpets no longer works, there is no electrical connection happening between the wand and the attachment. I really expected better, considering it's Sears' top of the line vacuum. Says a lot about the quality of their appliances to me. Last Kenmore I'll ever purchase. Read the reviews on the 'net - you'll see these problems seem to be pretty common with this model despite the hefty price tag.Get more detail about Kenmore Canister Vacuum, Intuition.

Miele : S251 Miele Plus Compact Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Royal Blue Buy Now


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.

Miele S4780 Orion Galaxy Series- Light in Weight Plus So Much More Best Quality


I'm torn. I have a Miele Orion and I like it very well so far, but I have had problems with the radio frequency controls on the handle. In my case, the battery would drain every two weeks or so. I took it back to the shop and they were able to swap out the part for a new one under warranty.
The new handle part has a modified design. Formerly, the buttons for power and suction stood just a little bit proud of the handle, and now, on the new part, there is a molded ridge around the buttons. I suspect that the original design allowed the buttons to get pressed inadvertently while the vac stood in a crowded closet, which caused the battery to drain.
I don't know if Miele made other, internal changes to the design, but the new part is working well so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I like the vacuum otherwise. It might be safer to choose a different Miele S4 model because of the RF control problems, but, on the other hand, I really appreciate the convenience of the handle-mounted controls.

Bosch BBZ120HDUC Hard Floor Brush for the BSA Canister Vacuum Series This instant


This brush did not ship directly from Amazon, but from GoVacuum. Nowhere on the brush is the name Bosch, and though it was supposed to be for my Bosch model, the Compact Plus Health Guard, I suspect it was not even made by Bosch. It is MUCH darker in color than pictured and MUCH darker than my other attachments. The clip by the connection end which is supposed to be used to clip on to the canister is much more difficult to use than the one on the original brush and even when it engages, the wand isn't steady. The vacuum does work though, with the brush attached and that is the most important feature.Get more detail about Bosch BBZ120HDUC Hard Floor Brush for the BSA Canister Vacuum Series.

Miele Delphi S2120 Canister Vacuum Cleaner Top Quality


I should start by saying that this is my first Miele vacuum. After hours or research online (including consumer reports, internet reviews, etc.) I narrowed down my selection to a Dyson DC17 Absolute Animal or the Miele Delphi S2120. Macy's department store had the Dyson DC17 on sale with an additional 10% off, so I decided to try it out. After using the Dyson for the first time, I found that it pulled out fibers from my carpet (5-years old) after many slow passes and too big to get underneath furniture. I should add that I do not have pets or children, so my carpet is what many would consider easy to vacuum. Also, I emptied the container many times to ensure that it did not clog. The second try (same day) I discovered that not only was it continuing to pull out my carpet, but it began to lose suction. I went online again (YouTube) and found that I am not the only person who had complaints after the first couple of uses. YouTube had a good video from a repair shop titled, 'Dyson DC17 Repair & Maintenance Warnings' which helped to explain repair and cleaning. I promptly returned vacuum to Macy's and went to Bed Bath and Beyond (not all stores carry Miele, but they can order it online and waive shipping) to get the Miele. I would recommend that if you purchase a vacuum; get it from a local retailer for hassle free returns and exchanges.

Why Miele Delphi S2120:

Vacuum that uses bags (after seeing videos of bagless vacuums with caked on dust in cyclone chamber which needs to be disassembled to clean)

I found that many vacuums (including Dyson DC17) had many dust particles which irritated by allergies.

Reputation and reviews from buyers who are return customers.

Wanted a vacuum that could get underneath furniture (couch, bed, etc.)

As the previous reviewer wrote, the vacuum is very easy to assemble. I was surprised to learn that the dust bag and filters were already to go (no unpacking needed). It did take some getting used to after using an upright vacuum for so long. At first, it was hard to know if the vacuum was working because it was so quiet and my carpet did not really need vacuuming. I found myself checking the level dial to see what worked best on medium pile dense carpet. After using it a couple of times, I have no doubt that the vacuum has excellent suction and does not produce dust particles for those who are sensitive to dust. Overall, I have NO REGRETS with purchasing the Miele Delphi S2120.

Additional Items I purchased separately:

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.

EUREKA 3681A Sanitaire Mighty Mite Cannister Vacuum Review


I purchased this vacuum along with the Sanitaire 670 upright model. The upright has a belt which drives the roller brush, but this canister vacuum does NOT have a roller brush or a belt so I'm confused by a previous reviewers comments. The wide floor attachment is adjustable and glides nicely over my laminate floors. I wouldn't dream of using it on the fringed area of any rugs because the suction is extremely powerful - even when you open the tab to lower the suction. It's extremely lightweight, the attachments are well made, the wand extends a long way, the hose seems a bit flimsy, but that's my only complaint. Bags are a breeze to change and reasonbly priced. Haven't changed the filter yet, so I can't coment on that point, but otherwise, as someone with 2 Saint Bernards who love furring up my car, I couldn't be more pleased.Get more detail about EUREKA 3681A Sanitaire Mighty Mite Cannister Vacuum.

Shop For Miele Aquarius Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Miele S5 Model S5580 Aquarius - Blue


I absolutely love my Miele Aquarius. I love everything about it. I actually like cleaning my floors. It used to be that I would rather do anything than vacuum. The powerbrush was a must for me. I have a dog that sheds a lot and I also have dense pile rugs. You really have to research your Miele to get the right one that fits your needs. Some of the other less expensive models are more for low pile carpets. The Aquarius and the new Capricorn are comparable models that are great for dense and medium to high pile carpets and rugs...but still do great on low pile carpets since they have multiple height adjustments. This vacuum is a perfect vacuum to last you years for all types of carpets. I also love that it's a canister and my powerbrush can go under my bed, sofa, and pivot around furniture and tight corners. I also use the floor brush instead of sweeping my hardwood floors. I feel so much better knowing that the HEPA filter is truly getting rid of the dust and dog hair, not just blowing it around. My allergies are so much better since I got my Miele. I also love to do dusting with the attachments. The telescopic handle is great for getting any cobwebs also, as well as cleaning baseboards. This is a really good quality vacuum cleaner. I would definitely recommend it!Get more detail about Miele Aquarius Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Miele S5 Model S5580 Aquarius - Blue.

Order Fuller Brush Compact Lightweight Canister Vacuum 9 AMP FB-CC1


We purchased this from a local vacuum repair shop after getting our upright repaired. With a little figuring and some pics to go by were we were able to get the unit running pretty quick. Just remember there's a plastic adapter piece that must go between the main handle and the metal tube that serves as an extension and holds the accessories.

Paid extra for the moving vacuum rotating piece (brush) that picks up dirt, but worth it. Good for a small house, rugs were new and everything picked up well.

We looked all over and could not find a place that sold small canister vacuums with a lot of power, big and bulky seems to be the "trend" right now, so we were happy to get this.

For those that are old enough to remember, Fuller Brush co was that company that use to go door to door selling their vacuums. One note, was trying to look up info on their website and very hard to find anything about vacuums. Nothing irritates me more than co's that are there to sell, and yet they make their products very difficult to find online as if we should need to "work" to buy their products.

However as of now, price was good, small, powerful portable and easy to slide into closet storage when not in use.

Purchase Bosch Compact Plus Health Guard Canister Vacuum Cleaner BSA 2200UC


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.

Buying 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.

Buy Kenmore Bagless Canister Vacuum


This vacuum has better than expected suction for the price. It works excellent on my kitchen and hardwood floors. I would not recommend this type of vacuum for carpet - for carpet I would suggest a vacuum with a powered head designed for carpet (unlike this unit).

The color of the unit varies. Mine is blue.

Cord retraction works great. The filter and canister are easy to empty and clean. No replacement parts necessary - simply run the filter and canister under water and air dry.

Unit is very lightweight and easy to tug around.

I highly recommend for light-duty everyday cleaning.Get more detail about Kenmore Bagless Canister Vacuum.

Cheapest 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.

Dyson DC22 Motorhead Immediately


Compact, bagless, seems to create great suction. Just one problem: the carpet attachment included with this model is narrow and pathetic. I've used my share of vacuums over the years, but I've never seen anything like this. I measure it at 9" across, which means you have to make a lot more passes to cover your floor than other vacuums you've probably used. It's also very lightweight, and rests fairly high on a wheel where it joins the wand, so that it tends to skitter across the carpet rather than aggravating it. This is on normal, tufted wall-to-wall carpet. You can get it to work if you apply downward pressure on the handle while vacuuming. Takes forever. I checked the dyson website, and no other motorhead seems to be available. In short, if you have hardwood, buy the "turbine" (air-powered) version of this. If you have carpet, avoid it like the plague.Get more detail about Dyson DC22 Motorhead.

Aqua Kenmore Canister Vacuum Get it now!


I didnt think I could spend so much time reading vacuum reviews..and after researching uprights vs canister, bag vs bagless, I still hadn't found one that was in my price range. So I headed to Sears, hit a Memorial Day sale and ended up with this Kenmore Aqua Canister. I am extremely pleasantly surprised, especially since we just picked it out of a line up pretty much!
Its lightweight enough to carry up and down the stairs, has all the necessary attachments and looks cute too. I am happy with the bags after using a bagless upright that was just a mess every time we cleaned it out. The bags are cheap enough and the sales person said that the bag of 10 would last a year. That works for me!
After searching high and low, I am very happy with this little guy. I highly recommend. Picks up dirt--thats what its meant for, right?Get more detail about Aqua Kenmore Canister Vacuum.

Where To Buy Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Dual-Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, 3920


I have looked over the reviews here, especially the one star reviews. All I can conclude is that these people do not know how to use a vacuum. Here is my review. I am a clean person, at least I thought I was until I bought this Bissell. I had been using a reconditioned vacuum my parents bought me 10 years ago and had not realized how poor a job it was doing. After using this vacuum for the first time, my house literally SMELLED different. The matted down pile on my normal carpet and my shag rugs were restored to new. They were both soft and fluffy to walk on again. It smelled like it does right after I have the carpets cleaned. This vacuum is POWERFUL. From what I gathered it seems to get everything out of the carpet. Stuff I didn't even know was there. This vacuum is also heavy, which while not a big deal for me, may be for some. I can still easily carry it up stairs. I am very happy with this vacuum!

Now for the cons, nothing is perfect and this is no exception. Yes the canister is small, and yes if you fill past the fill line it will dump all over the carpet. The first time I used it I had to empty the canister six or seven times. After that I had to empty it once or twice. Bissell can improve on this feature. Second, even with the extension, the hose is pretty short. A second extension arm would work wonders here. As for the oft disputed "pet hair easer", this is definitely a gimmicky device. It isn't necessary but I did find it useful on the stairs.

All in all the measure of a product is how well it cleans and this thing does a fantastic job! I would recommend this to anyone.Get more detail about Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Dual-Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, 3920.

Shop For Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Electronic Bagless, S3765-040


I bought this vacuum on Feb 21, 2005, and it is still going strong after 5 years. In my college years I have lived in several apartments with low quality carpeting. Every time I move, I get allergic reactions like sneezing and running nose. This vacuum eliminates my misery because of its HEPA filter. I just need to keep up with vacuuming every 2 weeks and the symptoms go away. This machine works especially well on carpets because of its carpet beater head that spins and gets the dirt trapped in the fibers. The wand can be extended for reaching a wider area without moving from the spot, and it even goes under the bed with ease. Like other reviewers mentioned, once you have the carpet function turned on, it pulls itself forward so it is a lot less effort to clean the carpets.

I clean and wash the main filter each time the canister is full, and let it dry overnight before next use. I haven't, however, cleaned the exhaust filter, which is becoming clogged and reduces the efficiency of the vacuum. The light blinks to tell you that it is having a hard time pushing air out. Both filters are cleanable and replaceable, but I haven't needed to replace my filters in 5 years.

For people dislike the noise from vacuum machines, this product is nice because it has 3 power settings and you can use the lowest setting for a lot of situations. Even at the highest setting it is quieter than many cheaper vacuums out there.

This vacuum has been through much abuse and is still working very well. You can use it to clean stairs, car seats, and even get rid of spiders and ants and bees that happen to get lost in your home. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and it is well worth the price.Get more detail about Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Electronic Bagless, S3765-040.

Order Miele S2 Olympus Canister Vacuum Cleaner Model S2120


It has become a joke in our house at how many vacuums I go through. Whether I just can't stand how bad they are, or I break them, I could buy a new one every couple of months. Sometimes I'd own 3 at a time to do different jobs. This got tiresome.
We have hard floors with one room of berber carpet, so opted for the model without the beater.
I did add a hepa filter separately after the fact. I also bought a long crevice attachment that is bendy.
That is a nice thing about this brand is that you can add on to your existing vacuum if you change your mind later with a different filter or attachments.
I love that the cord never, ever whacks my legs when I recoil.
I love that I can lug it by the hose and it doesn't pop out of the base.
I love that the hose never kinks or bends.
I love how easily the pieces fit together without coming apart mid vacuum.
I love the dial with pictures on the top of the vacuum to adjust the flow from hard floors to rugs to drapes.
I love that you can switch it from hard to carpet with one fllip of your foot on the base.
I love how quiet it is (and so do the cats and kids).
I love that it has no fancy electronics to break.
I love how simple and easy it is to pull around and to change the bag.
I love that it actually does the job and picks up dog hair to popcorn.
I use this vacuum once or twice a day since we have 4 boys, 5 cats and huge german shepherd dog.
I could've bought 10 of these for what I've spent on crap vacs in the past.

Purchase Eureka 3684F Pet Lover Mighty Mite


I love this vacuum!! After spending so much money on different vacuums, I'd just about given up and gave into buying the Dyson (but way too expensive), so after reading the reviews I decided to try this last one. I have 3 cats, Ragdolls, which are very large, and have lots and lots of long, silky rabbit-like fur (read: impossible to clean up after). The vacuum was very strong and fantastic on my hardwood floors due to the direct contact (the uprights with rollers always seem to miss so much), and the pet attachment was the clincher. Hair came up from my oriental carpets with no trouble. I also bought the Bissell Pet Pack Attachments, which worked great on my comforter, and other rugs. All in all, the two of these together made my house clean again, without the permanent haze of cat fur on all my rugs!Get more detail about Eureka 3684F Pet Lover Mighty Mite.

Buy Dirt Devil 082500 Breeze Bagless Canister Vacuum


This has been my favorite canister since it went on the market. I clean houses for a living and couldn't do it without this vacuum.
It's light weight, bagless, and a nice small sleek design. The newer models of this size are fatter, and bulky to haul around. Plus they don't last, I've tried them. I keep coming back to this model. I've found that as long as you regularly keep the dirt cup clean and brush and bang out the filter, this model lasts and lasts. Even when we've cleaned up sheet rock dust. We cleaned the dirt cup after and it's still working. Empty it after each use and you'll keep this canister vacuum for years of use. Plus, I especially like the brush floor attachment for all tile, vinyl and wood floor vacuuming. I wear those out faster than the vacuum!Get more detail about Dirt Devil 082500 Breeze Bagless Canister Vacuum.

Cheapest Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Anniversary Edition, Bagged, S3670


I am very disappointed with this vacuum. My family has owned Hoover's for years, including the convertible, dial-a-matic, celebrity canister, dimension 1000, and spectrum canisters, all going strong to this day...As we all know Hoover is not Hoover anymore. It's sad. The quality is gone, I hope not forever.

I purchased this to really add to my collection but also see what the Hoover products were like today in 2010. I am very disappointed. Just the feel of the vacuum is cheap. This model is quiet and has good suction, but everything else feels flimsy. The attachments are horrible...what happened to the standard 4 attachments canisters used to have, that would store on the unit? The floor brush is horrible, I actually use a kenmore canister floor brush on this model, as the one Hoover puts with this model is horrible. The controls are all on the canister...not like my Dimension 1000 where all the controls were on the hand grip, which was sized correctly. This hand grip is oversized considering it only has 1 switch for the brush roll on/off. The aluminum wand is also flimsy, I can see that busting with heavy use, not like the chrome wands Hoover had on all their past canister models. Hoover you can do better. If this was going to be my everyday vacuum, I would return, but I will keep it as a spare in my collection.

I hope Hoover comes back to Hoover one day. For now, there are better choices. Invest in quality and put your money towards a Miele or Riccar Canister Vacuum.

Thank you.Get more detail about Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Anniversary Edition, Bagged, S3670.

Save All New Miele S4212 Neptune Canister Vacuum Cleaner With STB 205-3 Turbo Tool


I bought this vacuum based on the reviews here and have not been disappointed. The vacuum is lightweight, performs well and is relatively quiet. Best of all, changing the bags is not a filthy mess, as was the case with the Dyson canister. Although this vacuum is small and has small bags, they hold a ton and there is a clever flap on the bag opening that keeps all the dirt, dust and pet hair contained. I used to have to take the Dyson canister out to the gargage just to empty it because of the mess it made. The bags are rather pricey, but I think they are the way to go because of sanitation and I'm never going back to a messy, bagless vacuum now that I've used the Miele.Get more detail about All New Miele S4212 Neptune Canister Vacuum Cleaner With STB 205-3 Turbo Tool.

Low Price HOOVER COMPANY Commercial Portapower Vacuum Cleaner, 8.3 lbs, Black


The Hoover Commercial Portapower Vac: I love this vac. I have shoulder problems and cannot push a big vac. THe suction on this is fantastic, the industrial cord super long. the reusable bag- very sturdy but the absolute best part is the click in components (not to downplay the suction). The hoses STAY together. This is replacing a Hoover windtunnel and a Eureka Boss upright for attachment cleaning as the hose on the WIndtunnel was too difficult to extend far and the Boss attachments would spring apart with any kind of tension. This is perfect for steps, cars, the laundry room and ceilings as you simply walk and suction. The one drawback is that I have a favorite horsehair brush attachment that doesn't fit due to their latch design but they provide more than enough attachments to make up for that. I wish consumer vacs could produce such a sturdy hose system.Get more detail about HOOVER COMPANY Commercial Portapower Vacuum Cleaner, 8.3 lbs, Black.

Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum Right now


I owned 3 Mighty Mites over the last 2+ decades. Loved all 3. The last one worked great for about a decade. I use it in my service business as both a hose vac and in seconds could switch the hose around to the back side for a powerful blower to dislodge dust that a vacuum attachment would never find. With the thin attachment on the end of the hose, the blow power was just short of an air compressor.

After a spell of not being able to find a new Mighty Mite, I was pleased to see that a new model, less sleek in design, and yellow in color was available in the current 2010 market. I bought it. Today was it's test run. Vacuumed fine, plenty of suction. But when I went to try the blower I was in a panic. It has about 1/5th the blow power that my previous Mighty Mites had. Surely enough to blow out a candle, but that's about it. Probably less air flow than a hair drier. I spent some time to see if maybe I connected it wrong. No. What I did notice is that much of the air was escaping from the back end before it even got to the blower connection. exactly where all the escape holes were I could not tell, but my first suspect was someplace in the area of the large wheels.

This new version of Mighty Mite is truly a disappointment if you had plans to use the blower function. If I had to take a wild guess as to why the blower is useless, it would be that possibly the motors were burning up and the manufacter had to unseal the back end of the case to allow more air flow around the motor. The outgoing air seems twice as hot as previous Mighty Mites. Maybe it was a bargain motor.Get more detail about Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum.

Electrolux Eureka Sanitaire SC3683A Commercial Canister Vac Decide Now


Love this Vaccum! My old vaccum would not pick up pet hair hardly at all. This little vaccum has AMAZING suction and i was able to dust/vaccum the entire house in less than an hr with NO trace of pet hair left behind! Its also lightweight and comes with a carry strap! The hose rotates at the base which is nice because that way it cannot become kinked. I am VERY happy with this vaccum!Get more detail about Electrolux Eureka Sanitaire SC3683A Commercial Canister Vac.

For MIELE Vacuums F J M (25 BAGS + 10 FILTERS) Order Now


I was weary of buying the "official" filters for my Miele vacuum cleaner.
They seemed to be about 9-cents each. These bring the cost down to a fraction of the price. The substitutes are not as well made, but so what? They get the job done. And with a dog in the household, we use more than in the past. I will be ordering these again.Get more detail about For MIELE Vacuums F J M (25 BAGS + 10 FILTERS).

Electrolux EL 7020B Oxy3 Ultra Canister Vacuum Buy Now


I purchased the Electrolux EL 7020B Oxy3 canister vacuum several months ago, and have been very pleased with its performance so far. My family had Electrolux vacuums when I was growing up, so I was familiar with the Electrolux quality in vacuums. I realize, however, that the current Electrolux company has changed hands over the years and is not the original Electrolux company. I decided to buy the vacuum anyway since my upright vacuum was just too cumbersome and heavy to push around.

The Electrolux is lightweight and the large wheels make it easy to move around. One of the most convenient features is the buttons on the handle to the turbo cleaner -- on/off switch, variable suction button, carpet/bare floor buttons are all easily located on the handle that pushes into the wand that goes into the turbo cleaner brush.

It cleans extremely well on both the bare floor and carpet mode, and I can easily clean under beds with the turbo cleaner attached to the wand.

The Electrolux is exactly what I wanted in a new vacuum -- easy to move around, effective and efficient cleaner with HEPA filter with enough tools to do a thorough cleaning job.

Generic Dust Cup Filter For Windtunnel Bagless Canister (Washable) Get it now!


This filter may turn out to be ok but it bothers me that it was falsely sold under the Hoover part number. The Hoover part number was no where on the package. This is an aftermarket supplier with their own part number. The physical design of the filter is the same but the filter media looks different. My concern is that the filter material is not hepa media. Hepa is not mentioned anywhere on the packaging.Get more detail about Generic Dust Cup Filter For Windtunnel Bagless Canister (Washable).

Dyson DC23 TurbineHead Canister Vacuum Best Quality


Ok, my sister has a Dyson and loves it.
We bought a DC23 because we recently completed renos and wanted something that would suck up, but not spread unhealthy reno dust.
There are two ways that vacuums can inadvertently spread dust, either through an exhaust that is not well-filtered, or by the exhaust stirring up dust on the floor that we haven't had a chance to pick up yet.
Prior to purchasing the DC23, we were under the impression that this unit solved both issues. It doesn't solve either.
We thought it could be operated while carrying it in one hand and vacuuming with the other (as one might do on stairs or or when vacuuming tall curtains, etc). We were surprised that when we called Dyson, we found that it was not designed to do this, and in fact we could see that our unit leaked air (and dust) from the seal between the hose and the bin when the unit was lifted. We ended up with a visible dust trail on the unit itself.
Not good. Though we initially thought we might have a defective unit, Dyson's people told us that the unit wasn't designed to be used while carrying, despite the fact that nothing about this is said in any of the Dyson literature available with the vac or online. When the Dyson serviceperson told us this, we wondered what other hidden caveats there might be. In fact, he told us another: the Dyson may break down if you try to vacuum up even a small amount of drywall dust or talc. This luckily isn't an issue for us, and we wouldn't be surprised if other vacuums also had problems with such fine dust.
Another big downside for us is that the Dyson blew a blast of air along the floor, which doesn't help when you're trying to pick up the dust (and, as mentioned above, there's no use trying to lift the unit to avoid this problem, because this caused the seal to break and dust to leak out of the unit itself).
So, unless we would be content to drag the vacuum along our pine floors, stirring up dust that we hadn't got to yet along the way (in addition, we found it rather heavy for its size and we felt it risked scratching our floors) and unless we were content with dust spewing out of the unit itself when we lifted the unit up then we quickly realized we would be very unhappy with this thing in our house.
We have since returned it and purchased another unit made by another, smaller company that also offers a smallish, well-rated (by Consumer Reports) cannister vac with a HEPA filter that blows the exhaust upward, instead of along the floor. The company that makes our replacement doesn't seem to spend nearly as much of its efforts on advertising as Dyson -- I'm not going to mention their name because I don't want to give them free advertising, but a little bit of research should be able to turn them up.
We have, so far, had no issues with seals breaking or dust leakage (that we know of) with this replacement and we are very, very happy that we no longer have a Dyson in our house.Get more detail about Dyson DC23 TurbineHead Canister Vacuum.

Hoover Platinum Cyclonic Canister Vacuum with Power Nozzle, Bagless, S3865 This instant


This vacuum is very portable, quiet, and efficient---IF it works. This expensive vacuum cleaner FAILED immediately. Bought in March and it failed within a few weeks. The hose loses its connection at the on/off wand-handle and constantly cuts off dead while in use. Have to wait a while before the vacuum will turn on again and when it is switched-on, after just a few vacuuming passes, it cuts off dead again. An extreme disappointment for the price.Get more detail about Hoover Platinum Cyclonic Canister Vacuum with Power Nozzle, Bagless, S3865.

Electrolux : EL6988E Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner with 12 Amp Power, HEPA H12 Filtration Immediately


My old canister was over 20 years old, but it worked like a champ and still works. However one of the kids lost a part and the cord was not going back in. Plus it was time to move on. I bought this one based on alot of reviews and comments. This unit is light and very very quiet. I love it. Everything works great. I also like that they put two attachments next to where you hold it. The wheels are just perfect and quiet as well. It sucks up dirt great. Now it is not a powerful as my old one, but it is more then enough to clean my floors and window sills, etc. This is worth the money so far. If it lasts as long as my last one then I will get another in the future. So far so good.Get more detail about Electrolux : EL6988E Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner with 12 Amp Power, HEPA H12 Filtration.

Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner Top Quality


Purchased this vacuum because it was lighter weight and a similar vacuum had good ratings. Does an excellent job picking up pet hair and vacuuming my wood floors. And it is lightweight and pretty quiet. Love it. Also liked the fact that it's made from recycled plastic, so it's at least a little green.Get more detail about Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Eureka 900A ReadyForce Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner


I have been looking at canister vacs for a long time. I bought one, hated it (the floor attachment kept falling off, the filter kept clogging), and ended up returning it. I am pleasantly surprised by this little machine...the suction is great, it's not too loud, doesn't clog, and it's lightweight. Plus the price is right!! I was looking into getting a miele until I found this. I use this at my vacation home (a 60 year old ranch home that produces a LOT of dust) where all the floors are hardwood or tile and I have an area rug. The vac works fairly well on the area rug, too. The handle feels much more solid than the previous machine I had and doesn't fall apart. And I actually prefer the bag to the bagless version I previously had. It is so much easier to change the bag than pull out a canister and have dust flying everywhere. I highly recommend this for someone who has a lot of hardwood floors and wants to get up ALL the dust on the floors, in the corners, under the sofas!!!Get more detail about Eureka 900A ReadyForce Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Shop For Panasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow Lightweight Bag Canister Vacuum Cleaner


I had bought a Panasonic canister vacuum in 1984 and I still love it, but it was getting old and have to change bags when they are only half-full to get enough suction. After reading the reviews I thought this new Panasonic would thrill me as much as my old one. Not really. The cord is long enough, the hose is a bit short (shorter than the one on my old one), the new larger and bulky head doesn't fit under the couch and doesn't fit into corners easily. Even though I like turning the vacuum on and off on the handle, it makes it heavy to hold. I also expected more suction since I read the reviews. It might be just an adjustment period, but right now I'm not sure. I liked the old design.Get more detail about Panasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow Lightweight Bag Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Order Electrolux EL6988D Oxygen3 Canister Vacuum Cleaner


I actually bought an EL7001. A 2-cent clip that joins the power head to the wand broke off, and we tried an Electrolux store for repairs. They told us "Oh, we don't handle those--they're made by Eureka. If you want a REAL Electrolux, bring it in for a trade-in." Now, would you buy anything from idiots like that?? The vacuum is now worthless, because the power head won't stay on. One star is more than they're worth.Get more detail about Electrolux EL6988D Oxygen3 Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Purchase Eureka 972B Compact Canister Vacuum, Yellow


I bought this vacuum cleaner mainly for my stairs and hardwood floors in my home. It's really lightweight and does a fantastic job. I have two cats and you can imagine the cat hair collecting everywhere. With the broom half of it would just fly around the room. The vacuum is straight suction only which is perfect for hardwood. It has more than enough suction. As a matter of fact, the woman who cleans my house had me order one for her house. She especially loved how she could sweep under the cupboard ledges in the kitchen and bathroom, something her Shark couldn't do. The hose is also quite long. I am able to go halfway up the stairs without moving the vacuum. The only carpet this vacuum sees is what is on my staircase, so I will not comment on it's ability to vacuum carpets. But it picks up cat hair like no tomorrow. I also use pine pellets for my cat litter. The big draw back is they break down into sawdust. This vacuum picks them up easily.

The only real negative I've seen with this is the bag looks small. But, I've had it two months and haven't had to change the bag yet. Then again, I live alone and do not track much into the house.Get more detail about Eureka 972B Compact Canister Vacuum, Yellow.

Buy Electrolux EL 7055B Twin Clean Bagless Canister Vacuum


My mother always used Electrolux canister-type vacuums when I was young and I figured they were a reliable workhorse. WRONG!

This was an incredibly expensive ($799 New Zealand dollars) option compared to the competition but, with my false sense of security, I thought I was making a good investment. I've owned this vacuum for 18 months now (it's now outside of warranty and requires $350NZD worth of repairs) and have had nothing but problems since day one when it wouldn't switch on. Back to the store it went and I was given a replacement on the spot which I thought was great. But after two days, that unit wouldn't switch on either. Back to the store... then a two week wait for repairs. A few months later same issue, and it happen two other times since then.

Aside from that, there have been many issues with the cheap plastic parts on the wand and the powered head. I've had three replacement wands (which either snap or the clip connectors fail) and two power heads (the plastic parts of which also snap). I've also had issues disconnecting All these problems on a vacuum I use only once a week in a 140-square-metre home with 50/50 carpet/hard-wood floors.

I WILL NEVER BUY ELECTROLUX AGAIN! And I warn any other consumers considering this brand to look elsewhere.

My last vacuum, a Philips canister-type, last 10 years with no problems whatsover. Back to Philips I go.Get more detail about Electrolux EL 7055B Twin Clean Bagless Canister Vacuum.

Cheap Bissell OptiClean Cyclonic Canister Vacuum, Bagless, 66T61


All the floors in my are hard surface and this vacume is perfect. I've tried hoover and dirt devils but gave them away because did not work to my satisfaction. This little Bissell is everything I want in a vacuum. I am 5'6 and the length of the handle is fine for me. It would be a drawback for me to have a power brush.Get more detail about Bissell OptiClean Cyclonic Canister Vacuum, Bagless, 66T61.

Buying Hoover Duros Power Nozzle Canister Vacuum, Bagged, S3590


I was looking for a powerful canister vac with a powered floor brush so I could clean under the bed and the sofa. It had to have a disposable bag, because I was tired of the mess made when I emptied the bagless upright I bought last year. Hoover is now part of Maytag, and both makers have excellent reputations. This Hoover S3590 is just what I wanted, and it is very satisfactory. It also has an automatic cord rewinder, and the cord is long enough. It would be hard to find anything to complain about with this vacuum.Get more detail about Hoover Duros Power Nozzle Canister Vacuum, Bagged, S3590.

Discount Miele S4212 Polaris Galaxy Canister Vacuum Cleaner w/ SBD450-3 Rug and Floor Tool


We're happy with this unit which we hadn't heard about prior to buying a Dyson which we subsequently returned because it leaked both air and dust when we lifted the vac while it was running.
We've been very happy with the Miele so far, particularly given that it blows HEPA-filtered exhaust upwards, rather than along the floor (with units that blow air along the floor, they disturb dust that we haven't had a chance to vacuum yet).
It is also lightweight, yet seems sturdy (so far, we have only had it a month) and has a lot of sucking power.
A good vacuum. Hope that it holds up.Get more detail about Miele S4212 Polaris Galaxy Canister Vacuum Cleaner w/ SBD450-3 Rug and Floor Tool.
