Carpet Cleaners Reviews

This is the most expensive piece of trash I have ever owned. It does not roll at all on bare carpet or floors. Please do not waste your money.

Solid construction, easy to use, very quiet, works great on my berber-like carpets, picks up even cat hair. I'm very pleased with my purchase - no more loud vacuuming or having to deal with the cord.

This was my first and last bagless unit. Don't assume bagless means convenience or less mess. The unit is high maintenance, requiring frequent filter disassembly and cleaning. The dirt never makes it to the dirt container. After several calls to Bissell customer service and new filter kits, the representative claimed the unit is not suited for everyday or light vacuuming. Seems the small particles clog the filter and restrict access to the dirt container. I don't believe the unit is capable of handling heavy vacuuming due to its poor suction. My expectations were not high considering the $89 price, but I expected more than a single use unit.

Originally, I purchased this vacuum at Sams for $88 to use as the upstairs vacuum (I'm too lazy to haul the other vacuum up the stairs!). After I got it home, I thought I'd give it try downstairs. Needless to say, it has not made it to its intended upstairs location. Amazing suction (and I have two big, hairy dogs), easy to empty dirt cup, love that the hose is attached, no problems with it at all. I was so impressed with it I actually began vacuuming more often. Used it for about a year, then I crashed it into the corner while backing up. Smoke poured out from everywhere. Figuring the vacuum died due to my own fault, I promptly went to Sam's (still $88)and bought another. Same great suction and everything else. Cleans much, much better than my heavier, bagged Hoover. And, one more wonderful thing, the edge fits under the toe kick of the kitchen cabinets so I don't have to use the hose. The little turbo brush does a decent job on the stairs and when vacuuming the sofa, I just put the whole thing right on the sofa as the dog hair comes off more easily this way. I highly recommend this vacuum - in fact, my one friend bought 2 for her house, another bought one, and my neighbor across the street has one. We all love this thing!!

For an $89 vacuum , I wasn't expecting much, but boy was I surprised! After 2 months I am still amazed at how much dirt it continually gets up. The cord is very long, so I dont need to unplug as often. The fit and finish is great, with no less than 3 filters (2 are washable). It is very easy to empty also.The carpet height selector did feel a little iffy when I first used it, it made this screaching noise, would have sworn it was broken, the trick is to push down and twist it initially to "brake" it in. Wish they included extra belts.

STRENGTHS:
Suction power; light weight; easy to put in bags and filters;

WEAKNESSES:
Very small dust bag; replacement cost of filters; customer service; lack of attachments;


The Soleus VC-680 is a very nice vacuum cleaner for the price. It has very powerful suction and is more than adequate for a small apartment. However, the dust bag has a capacity of about 1.5L and NOT 3.5 L as advertised.

The quality of the hose is adequate albeit having much plastic. The lack of attachments is also a drawback. (It only has a crevice tool attachment in addition to the floor unit.)

The advertised carrying strap does not hook up front and rear as shown in advertisements, but only at the rear, which points the exhaust at the user's face.

Last, I found the customer service to be extremely lacking. My VC-680 came with only 3 paper dust bags as opposed to the 5 paper dust bags and 1 cloth dust bags that should come with the unit.

After more than 17 days, their customer service has yet to reply to my concerns in my email. They did send the 2 replacement paper dust bags (with no correspondence whatsoever), but have yet to send the cloth dust bag.

Leaves floor rather wet,I would not use on wood. This unit performs NOTHING like the infomercials. I kept it for mopping only. I have alot of tile and it works great on it. If I had to do it again I would buy the other shark machine for $99. NOTHING ELSE really worked on this machine.

I think this product is great... It's great for cleaning in the cracks around the kitchen and bathroom

This machine is incrediable! I have used it for everything in my house - I have used the scraper attachment to remove stickers from new windows, and doors, and take down a wallpaper border! There is just so much you can do with machine - it has helped me in every area of the house - this is especially good at cleaning your floor without the chemicals and gives them a nice shine too! NO MORE WAXING! This has also come in handy for cleaning my smooth top range - I no longer have to buy that special cleaner for it when things become burnt on! It also works great to remove stains from your clothing - blasts them right out! The only complaint I have is that water tank should hold more water for those times when you want to go from one end of the house to the other without down time! This is well worth every dollar I spent - get this and save yourself a ton of money by not having to buy those chemical cleaners anymore!

I bought this item and was satisfied with it for the first 100 days or so until it completely stopped working. Euro Pro support is HORRIBLE. It took them 6 weeks from the date I called them to send me a new adapter; my unit still did not work with the new adapter. Then they told me they could fix it, but would charge me shipping and handling both ways. I am just going to throw it out and buy the Dirt Devil I should have bought in the first place. I had one that I bought used and worked for years.

I bought this locally on sale and I must say i was impressed. Right when I opened the box and turned it on the sound coming out of the motor shows you how powerful it is.

I bought it to keep in my car and clean it without hauling out a shop-vac and be held down by cords or the shop-vac hitting the side of the car.

It cleans car carpets and seats with ease. The construction of the unit is quite good, does not feel cheap like other small hand vacuums. The cord has lots of length without needing to pull an extension cord around with you.


Although there is some cons like not having a carrying case which makes putting this back into the box after use a little bit of a pain. Also it should have came with a car adapter so you could use it anywhere anytime. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something like a boat, car, truck or motor home.

I shopped a long time for this handheld vacuum. I wanted something with power (a wall plug-in, that didn't need to be charged) and something that was quiet. So far this vac delivered everything I wanted. I work in a large open office area; the vac could be run while people were working and even talking and was not disturbing. It picks things up quickly and quietly and it is powerful too. I highly recommend it. The only thing is that it does get warm. The shoulder strap is helpful because it is a little awkward, but all of the attachments it comes with are very useful. It worked well to get dust bunnies and hard to get crumbs out of keyboards, plus paper shreds, and small rocks.
