Upright Vacuums Reviews

I have been debating on getting this for some time now, but I finally broke down and spent the money on something that was well deserved. I thought I had the best canister vacuum out there. I vacuum everyday due to our large dog in the house, but I have to keep cleaning the filter or i'll lose suction. Before trying the vacuum out, I used my older canister vacuum which suctioned up a ton of hair and dust before using the new dyson. To my surprise, the dyson had a canister of dirt and dog hair and when I went back over the floor a second time the dyson had picked it all up the first time. The ball makes it so much easier and the animal model has some attachments that are needed for pets that the other models don't have. I absolutely love it and reccomend it to all!

This is a lot of money for a vacuum. I thought I'd humor my wife by getting it even though I thought she was nuts. I have to say I'm impressed though. It does quite well on carpet and hard floors. The ball does make it more maneuverable than the averadge vacuum also. The bagless design makes emptying easy too. I you can afford to spend $599 on a vacuum, this is a good choice.

I simply bought this vacuum because of few reasons:
1. Its Hoover
2. Its REWIND feature which I was looking for. I hate winding the cord after vacuuming.
3. Its red.
4. All this for the price!!

I would keep this vacuum if it had 2 things:
1. Extension wands. At least a way to buy separately. I looked on Hoover website and couldnt find a wand I could buy.
2. A lid for the place where the vacuum hose is disconnected to switch from floor mode to wall/accesory mode.

Although the hose stretches, some extension wands would have been really nice. And whenevr I take off the hose to use the accesory mode, it spits out the dirt remaining in the bottom part which didnt make it to the dirt canister. Very very annoying.

I'm afraid, I have to return it and sacrifice the REWIND feature. Every vacuum cleaner should have the REWIND feature. Why not?? Its so simple. Just works like a measuring tape. If every measuring tape can have one why not every vacuum?

This is the very best bag type C that Dirt Devil has put out. I recommend this as a replacement for any Dirt Devil bag type C on the market

The product I received was not very well "Reconditioned" It stopped working after one use.
I contacted Bissell. They are willing to replace the machine. However, I am told it will take 7-10 days to send me a shipping label, 7-10 for them to receive the machine and then 7-10 more to send me a replacement. I don't have the box the cleaner came in. I need to find a box and ship it back. At very least it will be 3-4 weeks before the cleaner is replaced. I know Amazon will make it right but the aggravation with Bissell compels me to reccomend against purchasing this item.

I don't think I'd buy reconditioned again. The pump belt broke the second time I used the machine. The belt was in pieces and some of it was stuck to the shaft. I made the mistake of tossing the box after my first use. The machine is heavy and I don't know how I'll take it to be serviced.

I received my Powersteamer last week and used it as soon as I assembled it which took maybe 2 minutes. It worked AWESOME! We have 2 boys & 2 dogs and thought that our beige rug was ruined in the high traffic areas. I only had to use the tough stain tool a few times and was not disappointed! I highly recommend this machine for anyone seeking a quality carpet cleaner. The reason for the missing star is that I had not received the TurboBrush, Scotchgard applicator or cartridge in my order. I notified Amazon and within 2 business days had a replacement machine. It was also missing those same items. Amazon.com has been wonderful in trying to rectify this situation for me in a timely manner.

MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LOVES THIS VACUUM THE ONLY PROBLE IT DOESN'T HOLD A CHARGE I CHARGE IT OVER NIGHT AND MAYBE LASTS 15 MIN CAN ANYONE HELP.....

I bought this for my daughter as a christmas gift. She thinks it is just awesome. I can't get her to stop vacuuming ( it's not a bad thing). It is rechargable and the instructions states that you will have 12 mins of run time. The first initial uninterrupted charge will take 24 hours and every charge after that is 12 hours. She is very happy with her new vacuum and I would buy it all over again.

I purchased the Bissell Barbie vac for my 8 yr old daughter. She absolutley loves it. Every little piece of crumb or paper that hits the floor she gets out her vac and it picks right up. The first day she got it I couldn't believe all the dust and hair from our cat it had picked up because I had just vaccumed the day before. It even came already charged just long enough for my daughter to test it out, about 15 min. I would definitely buy another one, and it's so easy for her to turn on, by pulling the handle down to vaccum position, and then off, by pushing back up to standing position.

I paid over [...] for this thing. I bought it for my mom who was having a terrible time keeping hers working. Went in one day and found her trying to vacuum with the old broken down one. She told me she didn't mean to hurt my feelings, but the Whirlwind was just to heavy for her to push around. I brought it home for myself and if I had written this review the first day would have given it 5+ stars. It is heavy, but that didn't bother me. It was unreal what this thing got out of what was near new carpet. About two weeks later, the filters clogged. Tried cleaning, but figured out real quick it would take new ones. It cost [...] to replace the two filters! Within a couple of months time it was clogging again. When the filters are clogged at all it picks up nothing. We have no pets in our home or anything that would be to [...] a vac. It is awesome with new filters, but I can't pay [...] a month maintenance on a vac! I wish I had my [...] Dirt Devil back that I donated to charity when I still thought this thing was wonderful! My advise is if you can afford the upkeep on this thing just hire someone to keep your floors clean!

This is an okay vacuum cleaner, but there are some design flaws. I'm now wary about bagless ones 'cause they are messy and if you don't close them properly dust can leak and spray everywhere. Also when cleaning area rugs with the admustment on high, the cleaner still grabs the edges of rugs and as shredded some. I have to make sure I avoid them and then take out the hose manually in order to clean the edges of the rugs. There must be better designed vacuums for the price.

This vacuum has excellent suction and easy manuvering!
