Vacuums Reviews

This vacuum cleaner is very cute and practical(you can vacuum under the furniture) but at 8 amps, it is not powerful enough for carpet. I bought mine at best Buy for less than $50 and returned it.

I think this is a nice little vacuum cleaner for the price. I've used it 5 times now and not once have any of the wands come apart, (to be fair I've expected them to based on earlier reviews, as well as, an older small straight suction vac cleaner I have from Hoover which does this all the time and a Shark with the same problem that I just gave away).

I've found the suction to be excellent for its size and amps,(I can only guess that an earlier reviewer's complaint about this wasn't taking into account that the bag was ripped, hence no suction), and I was surprised at what it did pick up on carpets.

To be frank, I don't expect a straight suction vacuum cleaner of any brand to work on carpets beyond picking up the weekly dust.

I bought this to compliment the Hoover S3765-040 Wind Tunnel Electronic bagless I bought recently, which is excellent (minus some personal nits I have on bagless vacs). Having two cats means a lot of loose hair on a daily basis, as well as, the dust from cat litter. Which is why I got this little guy.

For me small vacs aren't meant to do the same as a $400.00 and up vacuum cleaner and I don't get why some reviewers seem to think they should. For me, this acts as a quickie cleaner that complements the power vac I have. It's not going to get the major cat hair off the carpets (that's why I have the Wind Tunnel), but it does get the stuff that a broom, Swiffer or powerstick isn't quite up to.

I use this in my kitchen (hardwood flooring), to get the crumbs, cat hair, etc. that a Swiffer just can't keep up with. Especially with the 2 aforementioned cats.

I use it on the first floor to pick up tracked litter and litter dust that accumulates quickly.

I was surprised that this had enough suction to pick up some loose cat hair on the carpet and dirt tracked in from the garage as well, so I'm very pleased with this vac.

I like that it's lightweight and easily carted between levels (and living in a 3 story townhouse, trust me, it gets annoying fast lugging a heavier vac up and down the steps). It allows me to stretch the time between "major" vacuuming days so for me, its a good machine.

If you're looking for a vac to really clean shag or pile carpets then you have to get one with a power nozzle. If you want a small vac to clean the tiled or wood floors around the house, the inside of your car, and the cat litter muck, then this is a very good vac.

Great little vaccum for those, I hate a dust buster people, like myself. Works great for those little jobs around the house. We also use them at work.

I bought this for the little things, and for that it works- as long as it doesn't take you more than about 3-4 minutes to clean up. The battery on this thing sucks. It takes a long time to get a full charge and a full charge means only about 4 minutes of battery usage.
Save yourself the frustration and spend the extra few dollars to get a higher quality vacuum.

I'm a college student and I purchased this vaccum to remove the hair, lint etc that always gets into my dorm room rug. After trying the vaccum out I quickly found out that it was not going to get the job done. However I still use the vaccum because its perfect for cleaning up messes on hardware surfaces.

So glad i finally brokedown and bought me the Famous Dust Buster. Awsome little Vaccum Cleaner.
Thanks Al

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.

It's simple and it does exactly what's it's supposed to do -- quickly and smoothly cuts off the exact length of storage bag that I need for the task at hand. A vast improvement over attempts to do the same with scissors.

I had seen a couple of negative reviews re: the roll of bags sliding around when the cutter was in motion, but that has not been a problem for me at all. All that's required is just put pressure on the top of the gizmo to hold things in place.

Thanks!

Very convenient storage case for a roll of FoodSaver bag material. The front of the case features a sliding cutter, allowing you to neatly cut bags in a straight line. The blade is completely concealed, making it a very safe device children can use.

One of the dissatisfied reviewers pointed out that the bag roll is not held inside the case, causing the material to shift as you slide the cutter and resulting in wavy cuts. True, but easy enough to fix: hold the bag while you're sliding the cutter, and you'll get a perfectly straight cut everytime. You don't even have to apply pressure to the cutter as you slide it from side to side, because of the blade's clever design.

Highly recommended if you use your FoodSaver often.

I had a Foodsaver for three years, and tried all kinds of ways to cut a straight edge on a roll to make a bag. I bought this a couple of maonths ago. It works great!
