Vacuums Reviews

This is a great product for the price; it allows me to keep open wines for about 2 weeks at cellar temps. Ports keep for months.

I have been using my Concerto for several months now, and I am a raving fan! I drink wine frequently, but seldom finish a bottle in one evening. The Concerto is so easy to use to "vacuum-pack" your leftover wine for storage in the fridge. The unit makes a little chirping noise when the vacuum is reached, so it's foolproof to use. Wine stays fresher longer, and I am a happy enophile! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Those little stoppers work like a charm. They are simple to use and do a great job of preserving wine. Okay, so maybe they don't preserve wine for quite as long as advertised, but they do a great job for 5-7 days. Hey, if you don't down a single bottle of wine in a week, you should probably switch to a different beverage. I give this little product an A+.

This unit consists of three working parts:
1. A sprayer which consists of a reservoir to put the cleaning solution and a trigger that you manually push over and over to spray the solution. It works exactly the same as a spray bottle, except unlike a spray bottle it's heavier and more cumbersome to use due to the fact that it's attached to a scrubber/vacuum.
2. The scrubber, which is a round scrub brush that rotates pitifully slowly, and is actually harder and more awkward to use than a regular manual scrub brush because it's attached to a heavy handheld vacuum and it's near impossible to get it into tight spots.
3. The vacuum. It's o.k. as a handheld wet/dry vacuum. Any wet/dry shop vac will have greater suction than this though, so if you already have a wet/dry shop vac, then there's no point to it at all.
My recommendation is to use a spray bottle, a vegetable brush, and a wet/dry shop vac. It will be easier to use, more versatile, you will get better results, and you can use the shop vac for other cleaning as well.

well...I purchased this couple years ago for doggie pee pee "accidents" Used it few times. Had no problem with operation or suction. It sucked up the fresh urine accidents great. no problem with sprayer or brush. The BIG problem was it sprayed the dirty reservoir tank contents out through the side motor vents and onto my bare legs or pants. PHEEEW and DISGUSTING. I called the Dirtdevil people and they told me that if you tilted it too much it causes the contents to spray out. Yes the had this answer on their computer so they were aware of it. I tilted it so I could put more pressure for the suction. So I moved and no longer had carpet thus put machine away. Well I just moved and have all carpet. My MinPin and 15 year old lhasa are having a few accidents so I whipped out the spotscrubber. It is back to spraying urine out through sides. Called Dirtdevil people who asked if I was filling properly...did you screw cap on dirty reservoir...duh.same answer was not to tilt. Guess what???I AM NOT TILTING. 1st rep said to bring to repair center...like I will spend 50 bucks to repair a machine that is not broken but has poor design. So I requested corporate who said EVERYBODY LOVES THEIR MACHINE AND SINCE IT WAS MADE IN 2002 IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT BEING NICE THEY WOULD FIX OR REPLACE IT IF I SENT IT BACK WITH PREPAID POSTAGE. I think I will decline the offer. It has a poor design and they have no intention of changing it.........In summary I agree with other reviewers such as emufan01 and Ebranscomb who were "sprayed"...... Any suggestions for another machine for those pet pee pee accidents?....thanks

This is a wonderful machine. I have 3 cats who believe in sharing fur balls. This cleans the spots right up. I also have a husband who likes to eat in the living room, and I don't have to point out his "spot". We just rented a big machine to do all the carpets a month ago, and in a few weeks you wouldn't know we had done them by the couch. Well this little machine made quick work of the problem area. This is my sister-in-law's machine. I guess I'll have to buy a new one for her now!

I think this product is good. It serves it's purpose and lasts a long time.

We purchased these bags for the first time in May 2001. I installed a bag and thought it worked OK. (I did not throw the former bags, not Hoover bags, out.) The next time the bag needed changing the lady who cleans the house (unbeknown to us) installed the bag we had been using previously. My wife who is very sensitive to house dust recognized the difference. After a very short time my wife said she could smell the dust when the vacuum cleaner was in use. I changed the bag in our vacuum back to a Hoover bag and the probem was cured. While not very scientific, it convinced us. I have thrown the other bags away.
Additional Comment:
Because of the small particles that are trapped in the bag, I take the vacuum outside to remove the filled bag. This prevents these particles from escaping back into the air in the house.

THIS BAG WILL CUT DOWN ON YOUR HOUSEWORK, SNEEZING AND ASTHMA ATTACKS (IF APPLICABLE.)IT DOES THIS BY CONTAINING THE MATERIAL THAT THE VACUUM PICKS UP INSTEAD OF BLOWING THE FINER PARTICLES AROUND YOUR HOUSE. THIS MATERIAL CAN BE DUST, DIRT, POLLEN, PET HAIR, FLEAS, TICKS, DUSTMITES AND THEIR SKIN AND FECES. SOUNDS GROSS I KNOW. THESE BAGS COMBINED WITH A GOOD QUALITY AIR FILTER ON THE A/C FURNACE HAS REDUCED DUSTING TO A MINIMUN. IT STILL COLLECTS AROUND THE TELEVISION! BE CAREFUL MANY ARE SELLING NON-HOOVER BRANDS AS HOOVER. MANY ARE JUST AS GOOD BUT THEY SHOULD BE SOLD AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE

I love my Dyson vacuum because it works better than any other vacuum I've ever owned and I have spent more money on other vacuums and I have been disappointed until now. But the floor attachment is an overpriced piece of junk and I am being polite. Mr. Dyson should have made it differently because I am afraid of scratching my wood floors with this attachment.

The low reach tool is very useful and easy to use, fast to attach and good on every surface. With this tool you can reach under the shallowest of furniture. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I think this tool should be included when you purchase the DC07 because of the DC07's inability to get under almost all furniture unless you put the tiny tool on it which is tedious.

When we purchased our Dyson, I read about this tool in some of the reviews and decided to purchase the Factory-Reconditioned unit and use the money we saved to get this accesory.

This was a great choice, we love the vacuum and this tool does an outstanding job on our wood and tile floors. I think it does a great job on steps also. It has greatly expanded the functionality of the basic Dyson, and is well worth the extra cost.

Like others before me, I found that after only a few weeks of light duty, this handvac stops holding a charge beyond a few seconds. Charge light comes on and there is no indication that the handvac isn't being charged, but it will only work for a few seconds and then turn itself off. Too bad, too. Because when it worked, it worked really well, but when it goes bad, you are left with no recourse. The EuroPro customer service is a joke. They will take your order, take your money, then never send the item. They do not back up their products at all. Buy something else.

Replaced a 7 yr old Dustbuster with this unit , as stated by others after several months (7-10) , the battery would only hold a 1 minute charge then died , tried to order a replacement battery in Feb still on BO till at least May 20 . Cancelled the order today and will be getting a New Dustbuster soon .
Battery Life and Customer service is the Pit's .

The device worked for a few months. We gave it only light duty. Quickly, the battery life fell drastically. The unit would run for about 3 minutes, then die suddenly -- not a gradual battery wearout as is common. Turning the unit off and on would bring it back for only a short time. Now, it runs for 3 or 4 seconds before it quits. Turning it off/on lets it run another few seconds before it dies again.

What's happening appears electronic in nature, that is that when the unit senses low power it just turns off. I don't think it's the batteries. Instead, my guess is there is a faulty "mother board" regulating the charging system. If it is happening to my unit and the several others I see posted here, betcha it is a common problem for hundreds. If I can contact the mfr and gete some insight I will come back to update here.
