The small size and long hose make it convenient, but its poor performance renders it useless. It is very loud, clogs often and the tools fall off the hose too easy. I mounted it on the wall in the garage and thought it would be great for quick cleanups of the car and floor. It does neither well. The small hose diameter and poor suction stop it from picking up any large items. (It will not pick up leaves off the garage floor). To make maters worse the hose size is identical to the disposable clear plastic caps on top of water bottles. If you happen to vacuum one up, it gets stuck in the hose and takes quite a bit of time and effort to get out. I rarely use it anymore. A cordless dust buster has more power and is much quieter.

I got this vacuum for free as a throw in for buying a saw. I'm real disappointed. This vacuum in meant to be hung on a wall, if you don't it tips very easily. Operation wise it is reasonably powerful, but very loud. The most frustrating thing about this vacuum is the small diameter of the hose, which caused it to clog very easily. Definitely not a 'shop' vac. Best use that I can find is to vacuum the sawdust off my tools, everything else use a full size shopvac.

Update: can't stand it anymore...gave it away. Don't waste your money.

Very handy and powerful. Would have liked an exhaust port for air blowing of tools, etc.

Just what I wanted! Perfect? No, for that I would get the vacume out. 3 year olds spill cherrios from family room to the other end of the house, no fuss, no problem, sweep 'em up and empty in the garbage, and move on to more important things! note: the handle comes off sometimes, so I glued it on.

I am old enough to remember when these things were as common as vacuum cleaners. This one picks junk up as well as any other model I can remember. It is unreasonable to expect them to complete the task as well as a good vacuum. You must press down a bit and go over the spot a few times. But, this contraption does have some advantages over a vacuum. It is non-electric (no cord to fuss with), small (fits in a corner), lightweight, and it is QUIET. My one complaint with this model is that the handle (three sections fitting together like a fishing rod) comes loose sometimes when the carpet sweeper is being lifted off the floor. It is a minor nuisance. If you live in a small place without kids or large animals this may be all you need to keep the carpets clean provided you borrow a vacuum and rent a carpet cleaner twice a year. Overall, I'm satisfied with it.

I have an area rug that I constantly have to haul out the huge vacuum everytime I want it to look clean - Now I don't have to do that - I was totally surprised at how well this inexpensive tool cleaned my rug!!!

Love 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.

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!

This 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'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.

I buy these because I can get a better deal on Amazon than buying them at a store near me. I can see no difference from Eureka brand and they work very well in my vacuume. I recommend you try them.

I wish I had tried these a long time ago. They are absolutely great.

Very convienent to use and dependable

When you work all week, I cook on the weekends and with the foodsaver bags I can put platters in the freezer and defrost
in the microwave and have a home cooked meal instead of a
frozen dinner. It's Great

A great product, but after waiting 2 weeks for amazon to ship, I checked irobot.com. They sell a box of 9 bottles for $39.99 (=$4.44 each), shipping and handling is free, the item is in stock and they ship in 1-2 business days.

This solution is the only one that's to be used in the Scooba; fortunately, it does a nice job and leaves a mild, fresh scent.

After comparing prices and reading the latest review here, I ordered a package of 5 bottles from the iRobot site for 29.95 ($5. per bottle).

I guess the site had a free-shipping special a short time ago-wish I'd have checked earlier-but not today (July 3, 2006). I don't know what Amazon's shipping charge is for one bottle; it's $9.95 @ iRobot site for 5 bottles.

If you've purchased the Scooba floor mopping robot, you need to purchase this product as well. Currently, no other cleaning product is approved for use with the Scooba, so if you don't want to void your warranty, this is it. Fortunately, it works well. You only need a small capful for each use of the Scooba, so a bottle of cleaner lasts a long time. The bottle supplied with the new robot is much smaller and only lasts for a half dozen or so uses, so you probably want to order a few of these as well if you're buying a Scooba..

I purchased this thermos three months ago as a solution to my coffee-stain problem.

As a teacher, I have very little time during the day to run to the "faculty lounge" to replenish my morning coffee or to catch an after-lunch pick-me-up. So, over the years, I developed the habit of driving to work with three full insulated coffee cups (with lids): two I placed in my car's cup-holders, the third I held in my hand as I drove. Not very smart. Invariably, I ended up wearing some of my coffee.

But those days are over.

This Nissan thermos solved my coffee-stain problem. But it did even more. It solved another problem I never knew I had.

I had become so accustomed to the lukewarm and cold coffee that my "three go-cup method" yielded that I had forgotten how good a hot cup of coffee is in the late morning or early afternoon. I no longer have that problem. This Nissan thermos keeps my coffee piping hot throughout the day and into the night.

It is durable. Tall and thin, it fits easily in a backpack or briefcase. The vacuum insulation keeps the coffee inside the thermos (preventing further coffee-stains!). It also cleans easily. I wash it by hand nightly, using an elongated bottle-brush with soft bristles to clean the interior.

Purchasing this thermos was a wise investment for me. I happily recommend it to those who are tired of coffee-stains on their clothes and old, cold coffee in their cups.

I've been trying to find a thermos to meet my needs for quite a long time! This one is THE BEST, and well worth the money! I make my coffee in the morning, then add it to my thermos.....HOURS later it is STILL nice and hot! This keeps it fresh and waiting! I can't stand the taste of coffee after it's been made and left sitting on the coffee pot burner for an hour or so...This thermos is by far the best I've had so far! Spend a little extra to get the best! You always get what you pay for :)

The Nissan Thermos FBB1000 is a sleek brushed stainless steel thermos with vacuum-sealed insulation and 875 mL storage capacity. The thermos exceeded my expectations on capacity to retain temperature of contents for extended periods of time.

After placing all 3 components in the freezer (-5 Celcius) for 10 minutes, I filled the thermos with 7 1-inch cylindrical ice cubes and immediately capped the thermos. It was placed in direct sunlight with daytime temperatures around 28 Celcius and nightime lows around 12 Celcius. After 48 hours, gentle shaking sounded like the contents remained frozen in ice. By day five, it remained mostly ice. Not until day 6.5 were the original ice cube contents in the thermos completely melted.

While I haven't measured temperatures of hot liquids, the FBB1000 was able to retain the temperature of hot coffee for at least 12 hours.

My rating of five stars for the Nissan Thermos FBB1000 is primarily based on:

* Sleek design
* Durability/quality of materials & manufacturing
* Retains temperatures under extreme conditions for durations far exceeding product specifications

I love my new foodsaver and highly recommend. But I have a question for anyone that owns this model....I noticed the Seal Control Switch when you turn the dial to ACCESSORY mode or One or Three it seems tilted to one side or the other. Is that normal or is my machine defective? When the dial is set on TWO it seems straight. Kinda odd. Hoping someone can answer this for me. THANKS.

I bought mine from QVC at a slightly lower price, but it didn't come with the bottle stopper, so pretty much the same. I LOVE it. I have had mine for just over a month and have used it at least twice a day, every day, not just for vacuum sealing, but just closing a regular chip bag or a cereal bag. That alone keeps the food fresher longer. I put fresh fruit in the canister and it stayed fresh so long, I couldn't believe it. It is pretty loud, especially since my kitchen is the size of a shoebox. But it works so well, I don't think that matters.

The bags are a little pricey, I buy the rolls and make my own. They are reusable and dishwasher safe, just make them longer than you think and that gives you room to vacuum several times.

I recommend this for people who buy in bulk, or who just have a lot of leftovers, and freeze everything..like me :)

I had purchased a lower end vacuum sealing kit from another manufacturer about 3 years ago. I ended up hating to use it because it was difficult to use, was extremely noisy, and took two people to use the device.

This FoodSaver Premier Series V1205 is such a great product! It's so easy to use as well. Just put stuff in a bag, lay it across the sealing bar (whereas other sealers you had to line up "just so" and make sure it was even, putting a little lip inside the bag -- which meant having to clean this little piece often...ugh!), press down, and TA-DA, it's sealed.

It works fast. There are 3 different sealing preferences. It appeared to me that the seal was even better than my previous device.

Anything I've sealed and defrosted MAINTAINED the seal while defrosting. I didn't find this to be true in my old device by another manufacturer.

It's attractive in the kitchen. Considering this is a higher-end sealer, it's pretty light.

AND, one of my favorite things is that the electrical cord can be put in a little cubby hole on the device when not in use (I hate cords dangling all over the place!).

It was a good buy also. I found a coupon, the shipping was free, so all-in-all I saved $75 off the retail price. (I AM the internet shopping queen!).

Buy this item. It is well worth the investment.

Thanks for reading my review.
