Bath Rugs Reviews

I bought my DeLonghi Steam Cleaner on August 9, 2005. I have to say that I am very disappointed with the overall quality of the machine. To me it seemed like the pressure of the steam was not nearly as strong as the Euro pro I previously owned. I used it a total of two times before the yellow button that clicks the attachments into place broke off the handle. After the holidays I sent the unit in to one of DeLonghi's authorized service repair shops. They have had my steamer for TWO months! When I called them in Feb. they told me that they were waiting for the part to come in, and that I shouldn't call them to follow-up on the status of the repair of my steamer. In other words, they will fix it when they can and don't bug them about it. I believe this is unacceptable. I paid a good sum of money for poor quality, poor customer service, and a great amount of frustration. I wouldn't recommend buying this steamer. I only with that I had listened to the negative reviews over the positive ones that I read on amazon. Save yourself the frustration of purchasing this steamer. Looking back, I didn't rate the Euro pro very high because it only lasted me two years. However, two years is better than two times of use. I am still waiting to get my steamer back! Maybe in another month or so it will be shipped back to me, hopefully in working order.

Just about the time the return policy was about to expire, so did my machine. There are a series of yellow buttons that click into attachments as well as hold the wand to the hose.

One of the buttons popped out and was unable to be put back in its place.

Also, the above product description states the steam output temperature is 300 degrees. This is very untrue. Neither the manufacturer's website nor the product literature make this claim. Even units that cost $600 and up don't have steam output that hot. I would be curious to know where that misinformation originated.

My advice: Steam machines designed for home use are just more "jump on the bandwagon" products that originated from the success of another turkey of a product, the Steam Buggy. Because someone sold tons the of Steam Buggy, every company wants to get in on those $$$$. None of them can match the psi's or temperature output of a professional unit. Instead of buying one of these cheap machines, from now on, I'll be renting a Pro steam cleaner to use on an as-needed basis.

I bought one of these about 8 years ago and it finally wore out so I bought another one - I can not do without it now - I do not need to buy floor cleaners any more and it gets floors and rugs really clean. Great item!!

This is the best vacuum I've ever used. After I vacuum my carpet, it looks so clean it's as if I shampooed it. We have 3 cats and 2 dogs and it does a fantastic job getting all of the dog hair. It is easy to use because it is self-propelled and it has a very long cord. I highly recommend it.

I HATE VACUUMING . . . that is until now, at a very ripe old age, where it has suddenly become effortless, effective, quiet, and it seems the ordeal that vacuuming has been is over, now that I have purchased my wonderful refurbished Harmony Canister Vacuum Model EL6985A!! I love everything about it, and haven't even tried it on the high setting! Yes, it picked everything up on the low setting - and that's no small feat - it's light, follows me around like a little puppy (but looks like a ladybug), I can reach under tables & furniture like nobody's business, the electric cord is long enough for me to vacuum my entire 2 bedroom apartment from one electrical outlet without having to re-plug!, it's quiet enough so that even my cat isn't freaked out (which is truly amazing), the unit is small and lightweight, and I am truly THRILLED. I went to a cannister after all these backbreaking years of an upright vacuum on the advice of a Miele rep on the phone, but spending the kind of money Miele wants for the same action I just got for less than half the price gives me a lot of satisfaction. I bought this refurbished dream machine with a 2 year warranty (!) from www.cpoelectrolux.com. Assembling took all of 2 minutes (!) and I vacuumed my little heart out for the next 30 minutes after my last ridiculous vacuum broke after very little use about 6 weeks ago, and now me and my home feel & look like brand new. BUY THIS VACUUM! A+++++++++!!

1. Packaging very good, all items included, well protected. Arrived in a timely way. Not abused in shipping as is too common.
2. Easy to put together, easy to operate, very nimble around furniture, good power, cord is long enough for 1.5 rooms, attachments work well and are secure to handle, HEPA works very well (tested on drywall dust), bags are surprisingly large for a small unit, aesthetically pleasing, easy to carry (good handle position), not heavy. Only drawback is that frayed edges have a habit of stopping air pressure powered brush head but this is a minor issue as this should be expected with non-electrical brush heads.
3. Very good warranty on refurbs. 2 years.
4. Perfect for a small home/condo/apartment. Not so good for a large home. If you have a huge home, get one of the larger models.
5. The price is excellent.
6. Wife loves the style (big points).
7. It is advertised as quiet - and it is!
----------
My personal opinion: 9.5 out of 10 for its intended purpose, but it is not a shop vac nor will not like 5000 sq ft homes.
This is the best small cannister vac available for the price.

We're very happy with our refurbished Harmony vacuum. It seems well-made and performs as advertised. Very quiet for a vacuum cleaner: when used to clean hardwood floors most of the sound comes from the air rushing into the nozzle around the bristles.
As others have stated, I wouldn't recommend this vacuum to use primarily on carpet. It doesn't have a powered beater brush head. But for hard floors and above floor cleaning it's a champ!
