Vacuums Reviews

This is a very convenient, easy to use vacuum for quick clean-ups. Works very well on hardwood, lino, and tight carpet, but lacks the power to deal with anything but surface items on regular carpet. Compared to small Eureka I tried earlier it is much quieter and without a shrill whine. I've found the cord length adequate for rooms to 15 x 24. Recommend to anyone looking for this type of vacuum.

So far so good. I have used my vacuum a few times and it is at least good enough to replace my old Hoover upright. For $50, that's a deal.

Great tool! Just moved into house with lots of hardwood and ceramic tile and a couple of kittys. Light weight, easy to maneuver, no battery to charge, easy to clean. Also works well on my area rugs. Just what I was looking for to get away from the heavy vacuum.

Not sure if anyone needs a review on this item. My Panasonic vac (reviewed earlier) must have this bag. It works fine.... fits right. I use it and throw it away when it gets full.

This product is not terrible, but I am not sure if it is the best dryer vent cleaning system out there. I was reluctant to get a vent "brush" because I couldn't imagine how a long-handle brush could get all the way down the vent and pick up excess lint...I was pretty sure that a brush would miss areas. The most attractive feature about this product is that you can attach it to your vacuum hose and literally suck out all the lint and other dirt/dust/crumbs/hair/tissue/etc. that could not be caught in the lint trap. My dryer's lint trap is located on the top of my dryer...it is a small flip open top and you basically pull out the long, rectangular lint trap.

The product is basically as shown in the photo...although I imagine it is easier to clean a dryer like the one depicted in the photo. One third of the attachment is a hard plastic tube that fits over your vacuum hose attachment, and the rest is a soft plastic (bendable) hose that actually does reach all the way down my dryer's lint vent. I have also found that this vent vac hose can be used to vacuum other areas of the house that the traditional vacuum hose attachment cannot get to. Examples: under the refrigerator and other various appliances, a/c vents, in small crevasses or under furniture pieces that are close to the ground. The concept of this tool is great, but there is one problem.

When shipped by the distributor (item does not come from Amazon), they packaged it so badly that by the time I opened it up, the hose was very bent...to the point where it created two large creases on the soft plastic hose. I left it out in the sun for a while to soften up so I could re-shape it, but the creases still remained. While this isn't a huge problem, when using the vent vac hose, it has a tendency to close itself off at these creases...thus, airflow is stopped. I had to pull it out of the vent several times to re-shape it but it would continue to do so. After a while, I decided to put my hand down the dryer vent as far as possible to hold the plastic hose at the point where it would pinch itself off...and that did seem to help. It was pretty annoying, however.

All in all, a great concept and I suppose that if it is packaged/shipped with more care, the problem with the hose closing itself off would not happen. The price is right, however, and I was still able to get plenty of lint out that probably had been stuck in the dryer vent for years...so it did do the job, it was just a trying process at times.

We have two cats who often have trouble keeping their food down and thus the need for a carpet cleaner. We have tried everything short of hauling out the full size carpet cleaner everytime. We bought the spotbot and are thrilled with the results! Occasionally there is a spot it can't get out completely, but I've found if you use some Oxyclean diluted in water first the spots are gone!!! We've had the machine for 6 months and probably use it at least once a week. So far so good!!!!

It's the real deal. We have very lightly-colored off-white carpet that is only a year old. While hosting a party a full glass of red wine was spilled in the middle of the room. We thought our carpet was ruined! Our neighbor ran over and got his Bissell Spot Bot and our carpet is now perfectly clean. The entire stain was lifted using OxyGen2 and the Spot Bot. It was amazing! We have been able to use the SpotBot on other stains with great results. Hope you have the same success we did. I am on Amazon to buy one for myself.

I have had the spotbot for at least 6 months now and this machine is perfect for our house hold. We live in Oklahoma and have light colored carpet with red dirt which is even a problem for my upright carpet cleaner, but since I got the spotbot I don't even use my big bulky cleaner. It does a much better job on red dirt even with just hot water. I don't have to use the soap for most spots, even cat stains and smells come out rather easy with just hot water in my spotbot. I love that I am no longer using chemicals on my floor all the time. If I have a tough stain I do use the oxygen cleaner and the Bissell soap which work together great for those set in stains.

If you want your wife mad at you buy this vacumn. A total waste of money and time!!! Poor suction, air filter is clogging constantly, filthy when you have to empty it, shuts down when it picked up a small piece of paper, have to unplug for 30 minutes. They lost their marbles when they designed this vacumn!Could not even give this THING one star, it is that bad!!!!

I bought this vacuum strictly for the basement(where our Home Theatre is set up). It was a pain in the *ss carrying our canister up and down all the time, so I happened upon this cleaner on sale at Home Depot for a mere $70.00... I was initially skeptical at first, I mean a $70 vacuum? However, I purchased it anyway, knowing that I would be able to return it if I wasn't happy. The setup and assembly was fairly quick. The instructions were easy to follow and featured step-by-step illustrations. When I had everything ready to go, I decided to give it a "test run", and I was impressed. I was amazed at the junk our Sears Canister was leaving behind, as I watched the cat hair and dust swirling around in the collection bin. My only complaint-and this is common with bagless vacs in general-is that you MUST clean the filter off after every use, otherwise they tend to plug up and overheat the motor. This is especially true if you have multiple pets, or longhaired cats. In conclusion, this is a good machine. Strong suction too. The attachments include an extension wand for above floor cleaning, crevice tool, and dusting brush. The dustbin simply snaps off in a jiffy, and the filter is washable/replaceable. This is what I like to refer to as a "second vac", when you simply want a machine on another level in your home, without having to lug your main vacuum all over the place. I've owned it for about 5 months now, and so far, no complaints. Just keep it clean and you'll be set. Also, pay no attention to that one review below. This is obviously referring to a totally separate model. I'm happy.

I love this machine. Just turn it on and go. It automatically adjust to each floor including wood and ceramic. I have noticed an improvement in my hallway carpet. Either this is a good machine or my Kurby is a piece of crap. (just had it reconditioned)
The only thing I don't like is the cord length. But my house is 100 feet long so I am probably the exception.

I wish I could give it five,
it does keep the bugs alive,
but is doesn't suck really very strong
so you have to really just push the bugs alone,
into the front of the container,
yes I could write this review plainer,
but I want to have fun
and my BugBuster enthusiasm is undone,
because it only works so-so,
now I am going to go

This is one of the better items to have hit the market in a long time. I am thinking that once the word breaks loose, everyone in Buffalo and all across the country will be vacuuming up the cute little critters...and placing them gently back into the loving arms of Moma Nature. Do not delay!!! Go forth and buy the Bug Buster! (also helps in administering eye drops)

I've caught many spiders with a BugBuster (and released them outside), but it was not powerful enough to suck in a yellowjacket crawling within a crevice of an aluminum window frame -- you need a shopvac for that! This device is totally worth the money though, and I use it everyday on spiders and other small bugs.

This is my second Panasonic upright because I hate manually rewinding the cord. This vacuum has a powerful motor, long cord, is lightweight, has on-board tools, a stair handle in front and the top of handle isn't too high for a short person. They say that most upright manufacturers don't make the cord reel because they break, but my previous one lasted 7 years with no problem. The only thing about these Panasonics is that they tip over easily when you're using the wand.

I bought this item for my office, thinking it would help keep the coffee fresh all day. It seems to do that pretty well, though you can still taste a little staleness if you are a picky coffee drinker like I am. It is also very difficult to clean fully. Detaching it is a pain (I detached from the bottom for a full cleaning). It would be a great idea if they could make the entire pot dishwasher safe, which is much easier for offices. Or perhaps make the outside stainless steel compartment break into two parts to fit into the dishwasher (I've seen smaller similar items that do this and you can screw them together and apart).

Still, it is a great product for a small office where the workers want coffee at different times throughout the day but don't want old stale burnt coffee! The price is a bit high for the product also . . .

I was a little hesitant to believe that this air pot could keep liquids hot for a long period of time. I did a test at home before taking the pot to the office. I used water that ws just barely boiling. 17 hours later, the water was still steaming!!! I was/am very impressed. This is a great must have for a small office. I am very glad I decided to make this purchase.

Your coffee will go stale much much sooner than it gets cold in this airpot. Coffee or tea keeps hot for hours, great for parties or if you hate drinking that cold cup after a few hours. You have to be careful not to hold the pot by the lid when it's flipped up, because it can slip off. If you drop it, the glass interior will shatter, so you need to be careful. There are versions with stainless steel interiors that won't shatter, but I don't think they insulate as well as this one.

I love the Vacu Vin wine bottle stoppers, so a year ago I purchased the marinator and a set of canisters. Big mistake. I can't get the seal to hold most of the time. This happened after a few uses, so it's not that they're old or anything. Every month or so I give it another try, to no avail. The seal and edges are clean, and I can't figure out what to do.

I purchsed this item a while back. The canisters are not as big as I thought. The only change I would recommend is the size. Can't fit much into them.

The food saver system is great. You will notice there are two different style containers white top clear side then the other type which are see through but are in a smoke color plastic . The white top one's lid goes down into the container just a little bit to seal which I find a little hard to open not bad but a bit of a pain . The smoked color ones the lid sits flat on the top extremely easy to open and in my thought by far the better style. You also find the mason jar attachment a great value . Buy the jars by the case and seal flour rice and such in them very inexpencive method of storage (the smallest mason jar is freezer safe but it is real small a cup I think ). The flat/square marinade continer in the smoke color is a lot more useful than you would first think when used for refrigrator storage . I hardly ever use the bags as compaired to the containers . So I avoid the white top containers buy a round of the smoke colored ones and mason jars attachments (I think I have used only the larger one (wide mouth jar size )). Instead spending your extra cash on extra bags . If you got to have bags real quick remember sears and walmart stock them .

This belt was out of stock everywhere, including Amazon. Then Amazon finally got some in, before anyone else, and they have a lower price. So now Amazon is the source for appliance parts. I feel sorry for the vaccuum and sewing machine shop down the street, but I went there first and he didn't have it.
