Vacuums Reviews

The 4" side fits my 4" quick release well enough. The 2 1/2" side fits the END of a 2 1/2" hose. This does not work well if you intend to go directly from your 2 1/2" port on your machine to your 4" dust collection hose. The adapter and the port will more than likely be the exact same size (two female sides).
The adapter is also not shaped the same as in the picture. It is not funnel shaped but a 2 1/2" tube and a 4" tube connected by a flat piece.

This connector is female on both ends. I didn't pay close enough attention to the description while shopping and ordered it expecting to be able to connect my 2 1/2" shop-vac hose to the 4" dust collection port on my table saw. Needless to say, I was dismayed to discover the diameter of this adapter and the port on my table saw were the exact same OD - meaning it doesn't fit without a 4" hose between the two.

If you do end up in the same situation as me - don't give up hope. I aligned the adapter and DC collection and wrapped a length of duct tape around both. A solid connection that converts my tablesaw from 4" to 2 1/2" and works great! Hope that helps those who were in the same situation as I. For those who have yet to purchase, just make sure this is really the product you are looking for.

In case anyone is really concerned, the actual construction of this adapter is solid and accurate.

Inially I was upset with this, it didn't fit. Well, my mistake, I didn't see the OD part. Anyway, I found the perfect spot. It fits the 2 1/2 inch port for the Dewalt table saw perfectly. I have now replaced the elbow fitting that came with the saw that for some reason is set to point at the saw leg, making it useless. Now my saw is easy to connect to my 4 inch collection system.

Purchased because I wanted a bagless vacuum and something fairly light to carry around a small house and get under furniture. My very good old bagless Sanyo I got for $5 at a yard sale bit the dust when the kitties crashed a piece of furniture onto it (my fault, of course, really). This is pretty good at cleaning but the floor attachment's brush strip grabs the cat hair bunnies and clogs the head rather than sucking it up like the Sanyo did. I may remove the brush strip. Rug attachment likes to keep the cat hair even more, rather than sending it on its way. The most annoying thing is how extremely high-pitched and noisy the motor is. Bottom line is it does the job, with a little nozzle cleaning now and then, so I suppose I will live with it.

I recently purchased this vacuum. The attachments are cheap and it has a hard time picking up dirt off carpets. I do like the bagless canister, very easy to remove and empty. It is also a attractive vacuum, but if I were going to by another vacuum for $100 I would choose another type or buy a vacuum from Target and have the option to return if it doesn't do the job

It is a great vaccum cleaner. Light weight and easy to glide around in small areas. It is bagless so you can keep it clean. It picks up cat fur like a breeze. Plus its a great buy at $99.00.

I must agree with the others who have reviewed this machine that it does make very good coffee. However, despite making great coffee it is a very messy machine. After every batch of coffee I have to clean the inside of the flip top lid as coffee grinds back up and stick to it... yuck... nothing like wiping up wet mushy coffee grinds. Additionally, the water level gauge developed a nice green algae that I could not get rid of. I had the machine less than a year and passed it along to a friend as the maintenance was not worth it. Have reverted back to Krups to give them another try.

After muddling around in the Department store coffemakers for years, I purchased this machine based upon the fact that I have a Capresso S8 Automatic Espresso Maker and enjoy it. This machine is truly amazing, making by far the best coffee I have tasted from a home machine. The carafe can leak when brewing if not aligned right,and has done so twice in 6 weeks, but if you know this and are careful to align it, no problems. Also, if you preheat the pot before brewing, the coffee stays hot for at least 4 hours. I recommend the carbon filters as well. If you want the best, you have to pay for it....so far after 6 weeks of daily coffee, we are both smiling every morning because of this machine.

Good brew quality, fast output, and operational consistency have set the Capresso apart for me.
Four brands of drip coffeemaker, priced from $30.00 to $170.00, held court on our counter.
Though easy to operate and making decent coffee when new, most developed output quality issues (despite cleaning) or operational problems (leaks, etc)within 6 months.

At 6 months and counting, the Capresso is going strong. It is the best drip coffee maker I have owned so far.

I've had this vacuum for few months now. It's very easy to manuver and works great on hard floors - we have wood, tile and stone with a few throw rugs and 3 cats. It's really easy to switch on the brush to vacuum the rugs then switch back. It's also easy to empty, though it loses some suction with it's close to full. A plus is the dust container is clear so you can see if you accedently sucked up an earring or something. The negatives are the relativily short power cord and the accessories. The accessories seem to have been an after thought. I would like a small brush head - sometimes the powerhead is too big to get under low furniture, especially with the bracket for the upholstery brush attached to the front of the wand. Overall it's a great machine at a great price.

I think for this price range it's a good choice. It seems to be well built and has a good suctioning power when it's empty. It's easy to empty and clean and over all I'm pleased with my choice.
pros: well built and strong
cons: relatively heavy to carry

I was not sure about the suction power of this vacuum considering it was much less expensive than $400 Dysons. However, what came out of the package was an almost professional strength machine with extreme suction power.

Sanyo did a great job with this machine. It works well, and not very heavy. It comes with bunch of extension, one perfect for those who have cats. It sucks in cat hair like crazy.

One head is powered with rotating brush. You can turn the brush on and off from handle with ease.

Also, the machine is actually larger than it appears on the phone.
It is very easy to clean the bagless dust collector. Be careful to not to turn in upside down, the opening is under the canister.

With Amazon Shipping was free; it took one (1) day to get it. They probably used overnight FEDEX.

I would definitely suggest this to anyone. It works well on both carpet and hard floor.
Great value and great shipment. Thanks Amazon !

We live in a carpeted apartment, and we bought this vacuum because spills are inevitable, even if you're careful. Therefore, the idea of having a cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner was quite appealing, as you could in principle vaccum spills at once. However, the B&D Wet/Dry DustBuster proved to be quite useless for this purpose. The dust/water container fills up quite rapidly, becoming full with about 2 fl. oz. of liquid. When the container fills up with water (or wine, or whatever nasty stuff you're vacuuming), the liquid passes through the sponge filter, hitting the fanning mechanism. The outcome: the nasty stuff you're vaccuming sprays in a thin mist all over the place.
Pros: portable, powerful, cordless.
Cons: small dust/liquid container; bad design allows for overfilled liquids to be sprayed.
Botton line: ok for small dust jobs; worse than useless for spills larger than 2 oz.

Good things:
Dry and wet pick up
Light

Bad things:
Does not have a charging station.
Average suction

I'm not using it for big jobs, I have a 2 1/2 year old... and I use it for the occaisonal spill & cleanup and for that purpose alone it's well worth the price I paid.

Well, it doesn't do much. I love my Dyson, and the floor attachment, but this is probably not worth buying.
Added: I just read the other review... I haven't had that experience, but maybe my dust is finer than theirs. It definitely works on dust-bunnies ;-}

I love my Dyson, and this attachment is indispensable for cleaning wooden blinds. Wow.

I've been waiting patiently for this item to be released, and now I have it. Wonderful product. Does exactly what it is supposed to, and more. The bristles are soft so you can get under edges of things, and it pulls up dust like a magnet. Why scatter dust when you can suck it up and get it out of your house? Make that Dyson of yours work even more efficiently than ever. Love it!

I love the handy crevice tool. It doesn't have the power I thought it would but it does a pretty good job. Heavier than most handhelds.

I use it the most of all my different vacuum items. It picks up cat litter from the carpet, it picks dust off countertops and other hard surfaces with ease. My only complaint is you have to buy a lot of filters, although you can usually wash off the dirt a couple times and put it back on. And it doesn't last long, maybe 20 minutes per charge. But I still love it, I love machines that work, and this one does deliver the goods!

Very powerful and easy to use. It is great for use with or without the concentrator that comes with it and is mounted on the same unit. Highly recommended.
