Vacuums Reviews

this steam mop was the best idea bissell came up with. I have three small kids and the steam mop cleans up all the mess in no time at all. It's so easy to use even the kids like to mop the floors. The only complaint I have is that the pads are hard to get on. I have broke a few nails doing this, it would be nice if they came up with an easier way to do this.

I have arthritis in my hands and the drawstring on the Mop Pads is too small for me to grab. I use the pads made for buffing machines. They have elastic and I can put them in the dryer.

I have small children and I like being able to use the sanitizing steam on the floors which is nontoxic. The pads are cotton and should not be dried in the drier because, as other people have mentioned in their reviews, they will shrink. I think the cinch strings should be a little longer and the pads made slightly bigger to accomadate for easier application on the mop. Otherwise, I love the mop and the ease of use and it really cleans well.

I have enjoyed my Eureka vacuum, but the ezine where I read about it (Tips du Jour), the lady that was touting it said that it comes with an extra, rechargable battery.
I did not receive an extra battery with mine.

The little Eureka was impressive for a cordless. The only let down I had when I opened the box is there was no back up batterry that I was led to believe would be included. I had heard about the product through Tips Du Jour where a subscriber had raved about it, so maybe that was a special offer that I missed out on. A second battery would cost almost as much as the vac!
I also had to pay shipping, again was led to believe that would have been included by the TDJ subscriber rave, so the was an initial let down. I decided to go ahead anyway because I needed a second vac and was intrigued; we have a lot of stairs, a big house and too mant cats. It does do a great job on cat hair!
The battery and shipping issues cost a star, but it is a good little worker. Allison

I am overrall pleased with the purchase. The unit is not too noisy, the suction is good and I like the rotary brush that can be activated for carpeting. After each vacuuming, I'm surprised at how much it picks up....we have 3 cats. My only suggestion for new buyers is for them to purchase a second battery...the original one lasts about 20 minutes or so and I don't charge it until it's fully drained due to the memory retention effect of Nickel Cadmium batteries.

Here is an item that will be used often and gratefully. Large enough to preserve a part of or all of a bulk purchase, while saving dollars and not wasting the item {s}.

Most of the FoodSaver appliances have an accessory port to allow the attachment of a hose to connect to various containers, such as this large canister. The 3.25 quart canister is one of the largest canisters made to go with FoodSaver appliances. You can store any dry food that fits in the container and wet foods as long as they are below the level of the vacuum port.

Once you have packaged bulk foods in one or two of these, you may find yourself buying four or six of them because the larger size is so handy. You can fit a medium size box of cereal in one, or bags of M&Ms or other chocolates, increasing the length of time you can keep them. These canisters are great for brown sugar, which tends to clump when it gets moist. You can also use these for regular sugar and other similar foods.

I recommend you use caution with flour, biscuit mix or other similar foods. If the FoodSaver sucks too much dust in it can become damaged. After you fill the canister, wait until the dust settles before pulling another vacuum on the canister.

These canisters are clear with a white lid, and look great, particularly when you have a lot of them sitting on the counter. These canisters can certainly help you get organized in the kitchen!

This was an add-on purchase. We have used FoodSaver products for three year and love them.

Loved this vacuum---at first!! The first couple weeks were great, then the belt slipped, the whole thing started smoking!! The belt burned through the inside casing and now won't stay in place. I've seen other reviews where this happened, so definitely nopt just my problem. I was very disappointed. Also the spinner brush stopes easily, as soon as you get any hair in it. Would not recommend at all.

This is a great product, and you can get it, along with any other products on Amazon up to $500 Free! Participate in this special promotion and get a free $500 Amazon Gift Card at this web site: nocoststuff.biz/amazon

This vacuum actually tells you when your floor is dirty and when it is clean. It really gets the room clean. It has settings for different rugs and carpets. It is light weight and easy to clean. You do not have to deal with messy bags. I tried many others and so far I think this one is the best.

I HATE VACUUMING . . . that is until now, at a very ripe old age, where it has suddenly become effortless, effective, quiet, and it seems the ordeal that vacuuming has been is over, now that I have purchased my wonderful refurbished Harmony Canister Vacuum Model EL6985A!! I love everything about it, and haven't even tried it on the high setting! Yes, it picked everything up on the low setting - and that's no small feat - it's light, follows me around like a little puppy (but looks like a ladybug), I can reach under tables & furniture like nobody's business, the electric cord is long enough for me to vacuum my entire 2 bedroom apartment from one electrical outlet without having to re-plug!, it's quiet enough so that even my cat isn't freaked out (which is truly amazing), the unit is small and lightweight, and I am truly THRILLED. I went to a cannister after all these backbreaking years of an upright vacuum on the advice of a Miele rep on the phone, but spending the kind of money Miele wants for the same action I just got for less than half the price gives me a lot of satisfaction. I bought this refurbished dream machine with a 2 year warranty (!) from www.cpoelectrolux.com. Assembling took all of 2 minutes (!) and I vacuumed my little heart out for the next 30 minutes after my last ridiculous vacuum broke after very little use about 6 weeks ago, and now me and my home feel & look like brand new. BUY THIS VACUUM! A+++++++++!!

1. Packaging very good, all items included, well protected. Arrived in a timely way. Not abused in shipping as is too common.
2. Easy to put together, easy to operate, very nimble around furniture, good power, cord is long enough for 1.5 rooms, attachments work well and are secure to handle, HEPA works very well (tested on drywall dust), bags are surprisingly large for a small unit, aesthetically pleasing, easy to carry (good handle position), not heavy. Only drawback is that frayed edges have a habit of stopping air pressure powered brush head but this is a minor issue as this should be expected with non-electrical brush heads.
3. Very good warranty on refurbs. 2 years.
4. Perfect for a small home/condo/apartment. Not so good for a large home. If you have a huge home, get one of the larger models.
5. The price is excellent.
6. Wife loves the style (big points).
7. It is advertised as quiet - and it is!

My personal opinion: 9.5 out of 10 for its intended purpose, but it is not a shop vac nor will not like 5000 sq ft homes.
This is the best small cannister vac available for the price.

We're very happy with our refurbished Harmony vacuum. It seems well-made and performs as advertised. Very quiet for a vacuum cleaner: when used to clean hardwood floors most of the sound comes from the air rushing into the nozzle around the bristles.
As others have stated, I wouldn't recommend this vacuum to use primarily on carpet. It doesn't have a powered beater brush head. But for hard floors and above floor cleaning it's a champ!

I had been searching for this filter, and could not find it. But then I found you. Thank you for stocking things we need. It fits perfectly, and is of good lquality.

I am very happy with the way the order was processed.
Thank You

I like the old separate foam wet filter and paper cylinder for dry pickup, simply because cleanup of the foam filter was so easy and you could get all the gunk out of it. I have used my shop-vac to empty a small manmade water feature with a pond in the backyard. The seaweed groaties washed out of the old foam wet pick up filter completely.
With the new materials being used for filters on various equipment, the new multitask (wet/dry) filter is alot more durable but still harder to clean than the simple foam filter.
There is also the extra expense. This type filter costs more initially.
Oh well, the cost of progress, I guess.
All in All, I still think Shop-Vac makes the best shop / wet-dry / worksite vacuum on the market.

Good compact vac for use in smaller dwellings. It could be used in bigger homes or apts but you need to keep in mind the cord isn't too long. My place is 538.5 square feet so it is ideal for me. It rolls smoothly over shorter carpets opposed to the thick types. The filter is $10.00 to replace found easily at Eureka's website. To avoid frequent costly filter replacements, I go through and manually clean it myself. Of course you could replace it every time it is full but that will cost you. Overall you will be very pleased with this vac. I have had mine for about 2 months and still love it. Other reviews pointed out that is not very good on bare floors. True. Understand that the exhaust does blow out the front, hence causing dust and dirt to blow. So if you want a product to sweep floors buy something specifically for that job. Although you could sweep the dirt into a pile and use the hose to suck up the pile.

My favorite feature overall is the setting that allows you to have suction from the bottom of the vac or just the hose (ideal for stair use and around edges).

Again, look around and compare and contrast. Hope this helps.

Today, after my old vacuum bit the dust, I went and stood in the vacuum isle for an hour contemplating and toiling over which one to get. I was so skeptical about this little machine because it is very small. But it had this "33" cleaning rating on the box where others had 20's so for the price, I gave it a shot. I got it home and took it all out of the box and groaned at the thought of putting it all together. Took five minutes and no screwdriver. I looked at it and thought, this thing is so small how well could it work? Ok, I plugged it in, Nice smoothly quiet engine. Not loud. Impressive. Somehow it seems to glide. Nice! Easy to push on my wtw carpet. Instantly I saw "stuff" spinning around inside the canister. This thing is so easy to push, (great for my back & neck), has amazing suction power, and best of all its SO flexible, it goes under EVERYTHING, even my entertainment center. It's narrow so it fits in places my old wide vac didn't. It fit under my dresser, nightstand, under every table and small place, awesome! It even fit between the toilet and the walls, got all the dust bunnies out from every crack and crevice in every room. Leaves nice brush marks in the carpet so you can see where you've been. I popped the attachments on the hose and they fit so nicely, no struggling, I then dusted everything in the living room. I did half the house and went to empty the canister, HOLY #&@#! the thing was packed! Like my old vac must not have been working at all! I was never so thrilled to see so much dirt in my life. It was so "fun" to push this little demon around I vacummed the whole house twice. I only stopped becuase it was 11:30 and didn't want to wake the world. My name is Joanne, I live in New Jersey and I'm not paid by anybody to say this. I don't leave reviews for stuff but always read them. I really believe in this little Eureka.. it is phenomenal for the price. I highly recommend it. I think I'll give everyone I know one for Christmas.

I got this used off Craiglist at half the price, but had I known it worked so well I would've paid full price. This vacuum is awesome! I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about but it has not scratched my hardwood floors at all. It works great, has amazing suction for something so cheap and small, and it's designed like everything should be. Every little attachment fits right on the vacuum and doesn't fall off while you're using it, the cup is easy to clean (though the filter takes some work, but that's what you get w/ a bagless).

The only drawback (not even that much) is that it scares my cat because it is so loud :-) However, I do actually enjoy vacuuming now!
