Cheaper than elsewhereSo you need filters for your Roomba...well, here they are and they're fairly cheaper than iRobot themselves from time to time. Not really much to say...the filters work...trap a lot of dust. Get 'em here while you're shopping for other stuff as well and toss 'em in the closet so you won't be caught without one when you need it.
FILTER EVERYTHING~!I have 4 dogs, and 2 cats in my house. The dirt, dust, and hair has been the biggest issue for years. Well, this iRObot Solved it. Because of the Super quiet, light, and self-clean system which contains THIS Filter. The Filter does NOT let ANYTHING ESCAPE~!! Compare to ALL other up stand convensional vaccume machine, this BEATS them all. I only change filter every 2 month, so price is not a problem for me. I also have ALL TILE/Laminate Floor. THIS, is the most healthiest way to go, especially you are an Animal Lover~!
First orderThis was my first experience dealing on line with Amazon, I was very pleased with the fast service I got with my small order. I know that when the next time comes I will have no second thoughts in placing a order.

good productIt did take a long time to get the item.It seems manufacturers are quick to promote and sell a product but always make replacement "filters" a challenge to find and receive.
Tip for buying these filtersThought I'd pass this tip on to other users of the Dustbuster cyclonic models ...
I have the 15.6 volt Hepa model, CHV1500. Needed to get a filter so I called Black and Decker to see if the VF100 (instead of the VF100H) would fit my model. They said yes, but told me I could also buy part 244631-00 instead. (BTW, this is the pleated paper filter.) I asked what the difference was, and they said the only difference was that VF100/VF100H comes in a fancy retail box. But part #244631-00 just comes in a plastic bag. Another difference ... and this is the best part ... the 244631-00 costs about $3 each versus more than 3 times as much for the retail boxed version. So I ordered two of the 244631-00 secondary filters, plus a plastic washable pre-filter as I wanted an extra one of those too. The part number for the pre-filter is 598083-00 and costs about $1.25 or so. With shipping, the entire order came to just $11.41! Shipping was only about $3 or so. If you order the more expensive boxed filters, shipping will be $7.99 instead since the total dollar amount of your order will be more. So if you want filters, don't get the boxed ones. Call Black & Decker at 888-678-7278 and order the unboxed parts. I can assure you these parts are identical and work fine. My order just arrived today (took about 1 week to get here) and I just switched out the entire filter assembly that came with my dustbuster with the new pre-filter and secondary filter. Works fine, and now I can still use my dustbuster while I wash the original filter assembly and let it dry for 24 hours.
I'm not exactly sure what each part costs as I ordered over the phone and the shipping slip didn't have prices, but I checked my credit card account and the total charge was as they told me it would be -- just $11.41 for two secondary filters and one pre-filter plus shipping! So the prices I listed above are close. Order through that phone number and you'll save money too!

Don't let the size fool you!Don't let the size of the Bissell GoVac deter you - it's a hungry little champ! Of course it's not as powerful as a vacuum, so have the right expectations of what you're getting. It's extremely simple to operate and does so at an acceptable volume. It picks up cat hair, cat litter and food from carpeting and the small sized head actually helps get into some tighter spaces. I bought this to replace our Shark which died (and if you've had one you know how it feels to have thrown away that money). After we got our Bissell my mother wanted one too (funny enough to replace her dead Shark!). I would say the only negative is the smaller dust cup. However it holds enough to do the job and is actually very easy (and cleaner) to empty. Also, in the past when I've had a problem with a Bissell product they were there to help and did so politely and quickly - I cannot say the same for the Shark company. Overall this is absolutely a best buy for the money - and with the Bissell reputation behind it I hope we'll be enjoying our GoVac for a long time to come! By the way, Bissell has a rewards program so be sure to register your purchase [UPC code] at their web site to qualify for discounts and special offers.
One of Our Best Purchases This YearThis little sweeper was a *fantastic* purchase. Don't be deceived by it's small size -- it's power is formidible. It picks up everything from pet hair to dust particles to large crumbs on our hardwood, tile, and shag carpeted floors. Yet, its compact size makes it easy on your back (so we don't have to lug the humongous Dyson out as often) and enhances its maneuverability between table legs, chairs, behind the TV, etc. It works for about 20 minutes per charge, which is long enough to spot clean and keep the house under control. We've had it for over four months now, and I'd say our house is at least 200% cleaner because of it, since it's so easy, almost fun, to just whip this little baby out and let her rip. It's not even very noisy (the cat's not afraid of it). The only drawbacks I can think of are because it's a sweeper instead of a vacuum, it cleans only perfectly flat, open, surfaces well. Thus, it doesn't do a good job as a "hand vac" to clean the floor of the car since our car floors aren't perfectly flat (they're undulating). Also, I tried it on the carpet on the stairs, and it doesn't get the dust in the nooks and crannies well. I just use a regular vacuum or dustbuster with a crevice tool for those jobs. Also, it will probably last longer if it is not overcharged on a continual basis. That said, even if this thing lasts only a year, we will gladly repurchase because we have perpetually crumb-generating toddlers, pets, and humans around here and this inexpensive GoVac has raised the quality of our daily life.

Excellent Man To Do Business WithThis man is one Heck of a guy. I had a glitch in my shipping and he promptly answered ANY email I sent and very quickly corrected the issue- which was nothing he was responsible for, it was a USPS problem. The filter arrived, fit perfectly, and all is well with our vacuum once again. YEEEAAAAH!! I will most certainly do business with this man again. He's extremely no nonsense and very helpful and efficient. KUDOS!!
Great Universal HEPA Filter for Bagless UprightsThis is a marvelous HEPA Filter for your upright vaccum. I will say this only once and since I inserted it into my bagless upright, I have had no problems maintaining this product. It has also reduced the amount of allergens in the air, which is especially important because of all the cat dander and fur that floats around in my house.
Highly recommend purchasing. Just make sure it fits your vaccum cleaner before you purchase.

Don't even consider another modelLove it, love it, love it! I've had this hand vac for about 6 weeks, and I've used it for everything from getting up cat hair from my sofa, cleaning out pantry shelves, picking up dirt that the cats pulled out of potted plants and this vac hasn't disappointed! Long charge life is also a plus. Haven't found a down-side yet.
Works great!This is the second Shark I have purchased and I love it! It is a great hand held vac! It is a must have for moms with small children. It cleans up quickly!

dyson is the bestThis Vacuum is the greatest! It was in brand new condition when I received it and was so simple to put together. I am continually amazed at how well it cleans. My mom just went out and bought one after seeing how well it cleans!

I can't believe I like a vacuum!I'm in the process of sanding and refinishing fairly old wood floors in the front three rooms of my house. The Dyson sucks the dirt and sawdust from between the cracks. It also works well on the carpet sections that I still have to remove. I have a Siberian Husky, who is currently in the process of "blowing his coat". His fur is very soft and light and flies throughout the house in clumps. For the six years I've had him, this has always been a problem. No vacuum has ever been able to handle the amount of fur without spreading it throughout the air, leaving clumps behind and missing bits of it. The Dyson works REALLY well. No more flying fur, and it gets every bit of it up. Which means that when I finish my floors, I won't have stray dog hairs in my lovely new finish. I also have a cat who tends to shed on the furniture. Yep, it grabs that up as well.
Often, when vacuuming with other brands, there was a smell in the air or dust particles. With the Dyson, it just smells normal and clean...no flying particles either. Did I mention that I have four kids, in addition to the dog and cat? Ah yes, bits of paper, dirt tracked in from outside, cheerios dropped on the floor and smashed underfoot, makeup dust from the teen, koolaid powder from the pre-schooler and so on and so forth. It gets all that up too.
I'm impressed. It's easy for me to handle (I'm 5'1") though a touch heavy to bring upstairs and it solves a lot of my cleaning problems. The price was a deterrent, but I'm glad I bit the bullet and invested in this machine. For someone that hates to clean, I can't wait to do my stairs...my bedroom, the hallway, the dining floor and so on. I can't believe I like a vacuum!
In comparison to all other vacuums I've used (generally in the $70 or so range), this one beats all of them hand down. Vacuums don't last long around here, they simply can't handle all of the dust, dirt, pets, kids, home projects, etc. going on. The Dyson is the first one I can see lasting longer than 2 to 3 years. It's an ingenious design and I love the fact that I simply pull up a switch to empty the bin.
Mine came in two days (shockingly fast), was easy to put together (course, I DID read the instructions) and is easy to use. There are things you need to get used to (placement off on/off button, pressing your foot down to move the handle and the way that you use the wand), but once you figure it out I found it pretty intuitive so it's not a real issue. Mine came in perfect shape - looks new, works well and I really do like this vacuum though it's still difficult to comprehend how I could when I view vacuums as a necessary evil. Still, the fact remains - I really like this vacuum.

There is NO perfect vacuum!! Is there?I just cant believe that after all these years they have not perfected the vacuum. You'd think they could have done that by now but nooo...at least I havent found it. If you have, please email me and let me know what it is?
Anyway, first the good about this vacuum: I think the candy apple red color is beautiful. The suction on this thing is pretty amazing. Even though years back I vowed I wouldnt get a bagless vac because they are disgusting to empty, due to issues with my bag vac at the time giving me troubles with installing the bags and leaking stuff out every time I changed it, I decided to try this one...And I'll tell you - every time you fill that cup up you are AMAZED at the crap in your carpets. I think my family should all be dead with whats going on in our carpets!! LOL!! So you do get a feeling of accomplishment when you fill up the dirt cup. The fact that you can turn the roller brush off and that it goes off automatically when in the upright position is a nice feature.
Now the bad things: The worst problem is that if you over fill the dirt cup the dirt gets sucked up into the top portion of the collection cup, up by the filter and gets stuck there...so then you have to pull it out by hand (UUUHHHHHHGGGGG!!!!)...I even have to get my old vac out to clean up the mess inside the collection cup area.(the filter up there unscrews by hand, but there is still dirt that sticks up there). As a rule I try to empty the cup after vacuming each room but, godforbid you forget, or have an extra dirty room and it fills up faster then your stuck cleaning out the mess by hand etc...I find the lift off feature doesnt help me (maybe thats because I dont have stairs)...but when I tried to use the lift off feature to get to some tight areas, it tipped over and was so annoying that never again!! Mine didnt come with a strap, maybe if I had a strap and could carry it, it would be better. I also dont like the tools it comes with. I just dont think that they are very comfortable to use. Not all of them fit onboard the vacuum so you need a place to store them. I also dont think that the vac works that great on bare floors (whether the roller brush is on or off).
I just want a perfect vacuum...is that so wrong???

ExcellentThis is an excellent vacuum. I used to have Dirt Devil but I don't really like it because of the clean-up issue. This one does the job very well. I've used it for almost 2 years now and you can actually clean the parts easily. I don't understand about the comments made by the other reviewer. I don't really need to use screwdriver to clean the top part of this vacuum. All you need to do is just twist it and it will pop out.
Normally, I would clean the parts twice a year, and after that the vacuum cleaner works well after it's been clean.

Best cordless vacuum i've ownedThe cyclonic system really works great as it'll keep sucking even if the canister is almost full. The 15.6 volts really make a difference, it's almost as powerful as my old corded handvac.

Great VacuumI've had this vacuum for about 3 weeks now and so-far-so-good since it's a re-manufactured item. This vacuum sucks up just about everything and easy to dump the waste. My only complaint and it's not really a complaint...for the money...Dyson should give you more tools. I will probably purchase the long soft brush attachment for picture frames, etc. I would have given it 5 stars, but the price is high with bare minimum tools, and, also, the warranty was not good for the re-manufacture purchase. I would highly recommend this vacuum, especially if you have pets and kids. My home hasn't been this dust-less in years.
Awesome SuctionI read and read the reviews and debated and debated and finally ordered and do not regret making this purchase in the least. I was hesitant about getting a factory reconditioned but even more hesitant about paying $429 for a new one. When it got here, I was a little disappointed when I took it out of the box because it had some scuff marks and the canister was dirty. Once I turned it on and started vacuuming, though, all disappointment left and I have even put more scuff marks on it since and I don't care. It works great! I was dancing around all happy and my husband and daughter looked at me like I was crazy. It was waiting for me when I got home from a trip and I was exhausted but I still vacuumed the whole house! I mainly wanted it because I have a dog and it has been a chore to get her hair out of the carpet, I have allergies, and I love that you don't have to change filters. I just want everyone to know that all I had to do was vacuum over where a huge amount of her (dog) hair was and it all came up easily! I decided not to get the ones with attachments because the reviews were (overall) not positive and I didn't really see myself using them anyway. It does what I bought it for and I have even took it to my two offices (different counties) and vacuumed there and it worked well. I haven't had any problems with it not vacuuming (ratcheting others have spoke of) except once and it was thin carpet so I put it on bare floors and it worked fine. I gave it four stars because even though it is awesome, the wheels and other parts appear to be made from cheap plastic and the price is too much for them to skimp on that.
This vacuum rocksI'm a long time Oreck XL user. I saw the deal for a refurb on passwird.com, so I grabbed one. I can't believe the volume of dirt this thing pulled out of my carpets after they had been cleaned with the Oreck. It is heavier than the Oreck, but the complaints that it's "too heavy" are exaggerated. I also have had no trouble using the attachments. The trick is to completely extend the flexible hose one time. This keeps it from wanting to drag the base unit after you. The overall industrial design is great although I find the placement of the power button a little quirky. Small price to pay. I'd buy it again.

Dyson 14I purchased a reconditioned Dyson 14 because we have 4 dogs. I was amazed at the power and amazed at how much lint and hair the Dyson picked up, even though I thought my carpets were fully vacuumed just a couple of days prior. If just normal upright use without using the attachments and the extension hose is all you want, you won't be sorry.
I'd recommend testing it out, though, if the 17' extension hose is a high priority for you. The hose doesn't seem to loosen up, the upright falls over when I use the hose extension, the attachments don't "snap in" easily and sometimes just fall off. Maybe if you use the hose for a long period of weeks it will loosen up, but I'm tired of the upright falling over on the floor and following me around on its side. I've given up on the extension hose and have begun to attach my old stairway hose to it instead.

Extreme PowerEasy to assemlbe, easy to use, and extremely powerful vs. all of the other uprights that were relatively expensive. Attachments work well. Refurbished model seems to be brand new save for one scratch.
What can I say?Simply put, it's the best vacuum ever! Everything about it is perfect, super strong suction, awesome attachments and the way it extends is "near" perfect.
About the only thing I can think of that I'd like to see different is adding a height adjustment for carpets. In my bedroom I have very thick carpet and in my other bedrooms it's thin. On my master bedroom carpet it tends to leave lines. I usually like lines as it shows you just vacuumed, but this leaves about 4 lines instead of the usual two corner lines.
I was completely amazed when I saw how much dirt, dust and dog hair I got out of my carpet, even AFTER going over it with my old vacuum. I was expecting it to be the best vacuum I have ever used and it is.
