Vacuums Reviews

This little jewel is beautiful. Thought about keeping it to put silk daisys in, but it cost too much for that.
I washed it with some water and sodium carbonate per instructions and rinsed it and dried it in preperation of using it in the morning. I did not submerge it in water. When I looked at it again, it had water drops between the glass liner and the exterior wall.!! Then some of these drops leaked out of the bottom. It has some kind of round plug in it that the brouchure says to occasionally tighten. But it wouldn't move. Certainly need to wash it occasionally even using fresh gound coffee which does not really get my carafes dirty.
Love it but I can't have it leaking out of the bottom. Have another one just like it and no problem with it. That one keeps the coffee hot for at least 6 1/2 hours which is all the longer my coffee lasts. Problably would keep it hot longer than that.

The upside to being a coffee fiend is that you develop a taste for the good stuff after a while - and if you're like us, you've found a way to brew some pretty fine java at home. While that's great news for the wallet (as compared to going out for coffee every morning to the tune of 5 bucks or more), it also has a downside: suddenly, the cheap stuff at work seems really bad by comparison. Your travel mug will run out sooner or later...

Enter the space age carafe. I feel kind of dumb for not catching on to this gadget before, but basically I had no idea that something this good actually existed outside of SciFi; a container that really will keep one's beverage piping hot and fresh all day. The Alfi carafe is a marvel of chic design and high quality German manufacturing. The photo doesn't do it justice, the anthracite color is really very pretty and it's enhanced by the semitransparent double walled construction. It does its job with panache and it's easy to clean (but by hand only, please).

My husband received this as a Christmas gift last week and his whole office wants to know where to get one of these. Eye-catching, elegant and simply the best at a very reasonable price - you just can't go wrong with this one. Next year, this is going to be the present for everybody else on my list.

Really nice carafe, not very large, very attractive and does keep hot liquid hot and cold liquid cold.

My mom got me this for a gift. It is a piece of junk. I have had it for 2 weeks, and its already broke. I can only get it to work properly half the time, and when it does work, I have to practically sit on it to get it closed because the latch already broke, and then I have to hold it with one hand so I can use the other to keep it closed.

IT WORK JUST FINE,AND I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT GOING TO SAVE ME MONEY.IT DOES VACUUM VERY WELL AND THEN IT SEALS.

This vacuum works great for maybe the first month but after that there is no suction at all and it starts falling apart. You really get what you pay for. I know 3 other people that have had this vacume and they have had the same problems.

The wheels fell off the attachment within DAYS of buying it. Used super glue- now sort of ok. Cord is too short so added extension- again only ok. Vacuum gets "tired" and quits if you use it too long at a time. Works again after about an hour(??).Now, I can't get bags anywhere. Just not worth it-best cheapo canister vac I ever had was the Mighty Mite. It finally died after 10+ years of overuse and abuse.

I have had mine for at least 6 years. Gets heavy use w/2 long hair cats and a 3 yr old. It works awesome on hard floors and pulls dirt out of the woodwork. I am very bummed that it just burnt out when I sucked up a bunch of leaves from my fern. My fault, but I am off to buy the same one .

FYI I also have problems finding replacement bags, but I use SHARP CANISTER TYPE PC2 and they work well, you just need to fold them a bit. Am looking forward to a new fabric bag that will come with my new machine. I used it all the time and threw the whole thing in the washer. The clip broke to it years ago, and I miss that too. PS also duct tape works wonders on tha hose. Mine was taped up for years and kept on going

Being single, I have left over foods. This canister has been great for lettuce. The lettuce has stayed fresh for up to 2 weeks! Just as fresh as the day I bought it. I also own other canisters from Foodsaver, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Being single, I have a lot of left over foods. I have used this canister for storing lettuce. The lettuce has stayed as fresh as the day I bought it for almost 2 weeks in the container. All of the other comtainers made by Foodsaver are also GREAT!! Would recommend these items to anyone.
