Miele S4210 Antares Canister Vacuum Cleaner

... After hefting a monstrous Hoover upright (I think it was called a Wind Tunnel) around my house for five years, I decided to try a canister vacuum cleaner. Consumer reviews on Amazon led me to the Miele, and I've rarely been as completely satisfied with a purchase.

My house has both wood and tile floors and several large, thick Persian rugs. For these varied surfaces, as well as for upholstery, drapes, and more, the Miele is perfect. I can carry it out to the driveway to clean my car, bring it from room to room for spot cleaning, or put it to work Spring-cleaning my entire house; there's no job too big or too small.

The best thing about the Miele is how quiet it is. My three-year-old daughter couldn't stand to be in the room with me when I used the upright cleaner, but she begs to use the Miele herself--and she's able to use it, too!

Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth every penny. If my Miele ever wears out (doubtful; it's sturdy and obviously very well made), I won't think twice about getting another. ...

Dirt Devil Broom Vacuum - White

... I got one of these after reading favourable reviews but it drove me nuts. You have to keep it charged up and even then, it barely sucks. Most of the time, I found myself pushing round a little heap of dust with the bristles as the darn thing just wouldn't suck it up, even on a full charge.

We moved apartments recently and I had no qualms about leaving it behind in the basement. I am now looking at the Hoover Platinum Stick Vac. ...

ReadiVac 35145 14-2/5-Volt Cordless Wet/Dry Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

... I bought this vacuum with a singular function in mind. I wanted to clean up my son's cheerio mess without a broom. since dry cheerios are light, anything should pick them up. This vacuum performed perfect for the first day. After that, it started making a slight noise when in use. Then picking it up and using it caused a loud noise. Then finally, I figured out the problem. The vacuum rotor popped off the motor spindle. It fell apart after less than 2 days. While it may work great for the first day, I can't recommend a product which only lasts two days of light use. Very poor quality control. ...

Hoover U6630-900 Self Propelled WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

... My old vacuum was broken, hence I started to shop for a new one. I went to Walmart and after looking at all of the vacuums they had there, I decided to buy the hoover self propelled windtunnel (it was the third most expensive one among them). I was amazed how much dust and dirt it picked up (way much more than my old vacuum). I have a kid and he is crawling around on the carpet all the time, therefore it is very import for me to have a good working vacuum. I am very satisfied with this vacuum. Things you should do:

1) Empty the container after each vacuum (it is better you take it outside and dump the dirt into a plastic bag or trash can to avoid the dust flying around your house)

2) Remove the hairs on the brush(es) that jammed on it after each use.


The reason why I only give it a 4 stars instead of 5:

1) I just bought it and I need to use it for a while to make sure everything is working properly, before it give it the full five stars.

2) The dirt sensor is useless, the green light is on even if the carpet is very dirty. I basically ignore it. ...

Haan MS-30 Multi-Purpose Steam Cleaner

... My bamboo and travertine floors get a lot of foot and paw traffic. I bought the machine with a little skepticism since the floor isn't clean unless I hand scrub it (the idea of swiffer grosses me out). I was amazed at the job this machine does and oh so happy with the labor and time-saving advantage in using it. I tested it on the walls, and viola! Nice job. I didn't need cleaners, which is a big plus as I am trying hard to do my part in environmental mending.
Look forward to trying it on tiny tiny glass tiles surrounding my master suite bath. The only downfall is the cord length, but an extension cord remedied that.

iRobot® Roomba® Scheduler Vacuuming Robot

... We have the Roomba Scheduler that is the version prior to this one (without the intellibin light). Both hubby and I work so we are busy parents taking care of our 1 year old son. With that kind of a schedule, the Roomba is the best appliance we've got around the house! Its heaveanly coming home to a clean floor, no dust bunnies ever (we have two indoor cats).

Granted, the Roomba may not be for everybody. We have hardwood floors and rugs throughout the house and the Roomba excels in performance for our situation. I can't honestly tell you how it would work if you have wall-to-wall carpet or very high pile rug. You also have to be diligent about cleaning it, but it really only takes no more than 10 minutes of your time, if not less. That's still a lot less time than I would do sweeping the house and vaccuming the rugs. One other thing as well: the Roomba is definitely not the best for last-minute or quick pickup jobs as it does take about 30-40 mins to clean one large room. We keep a cheap-o lightweight vac and dustbuster for those jobs.

HOOVER SAVVY UPRIGHT VACUUM

... I love how it sucks! The red light goes off to tell you if you need to keep cleaning. I have had the vacuum now for over a year and love it.Few downsides... The front light has already gone off and it come with a short hose. The powered nozzle attachment is a gimick, yet the main vacuum works wonderfully.

I like having the options to switch from bag to bagless.

HOOVER MACH 3 UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER

... We used the Hoover Mach 3 for just six months and it started making a very loud noise. It turned out to be a bad brush. Hoover would not cover it under Warranty because they claim it is a maintenance item. This was even though there were no exclusions listed on the warranty page! The unit only cost $89 and the repair shop wanted $26 for a new brush. I don't understand how a part of the vacuum that is almost 30% of the unit cost can be a maintenance item! I told them no thanks to the brush and that I would not be wasting another penny on anything made from Hoover. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS! ...

Hoover U5752-900 Bagless WindTunnel Upright Vacuum

... Nice vacuum for the price. The filter has to be cleaned regularly to maintain the strong pick-up power but as long as you clean it after every use the vacuum works great. I have 4 Golden Retrievers and a ceramic tile floor and it's great for picking up all the hair on the floor. The attached hose is very easy to use also. It stores in one of the vertical suction tubes so you can easily grab it with one hand and use it to pick up hard-to-reach spots. ...

HOOVER WINDTUNNEL 2 UPRIGHT VACUUM

... I purchased this Hepa bagless vacuum b/c my daughter is starting to develop indoor environmental allergies and I wanted to make my home as allergy-free as possible for her. I actually used my old vacuum, an Oreck (1995 model), to vacuum the living room, and then followed up with this one, and it sucked up a ton of stuff - fuzz, dust, who knows what else, that the Oreck missed. So I'm sold on the cleaning ability.

But this is the second Windtunnel I've had where one of the plastic pieces broke. In the first one, the lever that you depress with your foot to make the vacuum operate snapped off after about a year. My husband was using it, and yes he may have a lead foot, but STILL. You'd think Hoover could invest a couple more dollars to make the foot pedal a bit sturdier.

On this vacuum, a useless plastic piece on the top of the handle snapped off when I was maneuvering the vacuum. The useless plastic piece, like a cap on the handle, was maybe 2 inches wide, but was supported by two flimsy plastic pegs that the force of my hand apparently broke off. This is just plain annoying in a $240 vacuum.

So, as much as I love the cleaning ability and feel oh so gratified every time I empty the canister about all the junk I am sparing my daughter from sitting in, breathing, etc..., I will probably purchase a Dyson for my next cleaner. I've heard those are indestructible.

Hoover U8140-900 WindTunnel VS Bagless Upright Vacuum with Powered Hand Tool, Green

... I used this vacuum for about 5 years prior to recently purchasing a Dyson. This vacuum worked pretty well and I was quite happy with it. It is very nice being bagless but it also has the option to use a bag if you prefer it. It has plenty of suction and the onboard tools are a nice touch. The powered hand tool is a huge plus and is great for cleaning furniture or stairs. Emptying the canister is clean and easy to do. One problem that I had with the vacuum was the HEPA filter constantly got clogged because it doesn't have any type of pre-filter. It was very messy to clean. It isn't washable so you either have to replace it often or take it outside and shake it like crazy to get it clean. When doing this the dust will go everywhere and make a huge mess and you will be covered in dust. Another problem was that you had to empty the canister often because the suction would greatly be reduced once the canister was half full. I think it is still a good vacuum for the price but there are certainly better vacuums if you are willing spend more money. ...

Hoover LiNX Cordless Cyclonic Hand Vac

... Vacuum is very light weight. It doesn't come with a base so that you cannot hang it anywhere. The integrated dust brush come down the clear plastic nozzle all the time and I have to use a scotch tape to make it stay. The clear plastic nozzle cannot be locked in place. Suction start to lose when hair and dust cover and wrap around the filter. Base for the battery charging doesn't stay good enough in contact. It's not much better than my old hand vac, Black & Decker cyclonic. I am very disappointed. ...

Hoover Floormate- H3060

... Please note: The minimum number of stars you can award is one. If zero were an option, I would choose it.

First of all. Don't buy the H3060. This is why:

Following the instructions and using the supplied tile/grout cleaner with hot water in the dilution recommended.

1. It doesn't clean a dirty floor. The weight on the brushes is just too little to remove any real dirt.

2. It does a very poor job of picking up the dirty water. This is because the weight on the pick up is too little to get close enough to the floor. If I put my foot on it while moving it (hardly practical) it does pick up quite well. It also only picks up water in the forward direction. When you move it backwards, which like vacuuming you need to do, then a huge puddle is left behind.

3. The vacuum function is hopelessly under powered. (I did clean the filter. But that doesn't appear to be the issue.)

4. It is very noisy.

5. I can't see why you would need the tools supplied. I never did use them.

I think this is all rather sad. A lot of money must have gone into setting up to manufacture this machine. If only Hoover had got the design was right it would be a winner. In fact, for me it is a complete lemon. It takes a long time to do a lousy job. By lousy I mean, much less than 50% of the dirt is removed. Worse, however long you persist, you still only pick up less than 50% of the dirt. The 50% figure is optimistic, as the most obvious effect is that the dirt is merely spread across the floor more evenly than before.

My suggestion to Hoover is that the CEO should actually try his or her own products before releasing them to the market place.

The only good thing about this product is that the user manual is available on-line as a PDF on the Hoover web site. Sadly, the results you get following the instructions are dismal.

I have not directly compared this product with a bucket and mop, but I would imagine that a bucket and mop would be faster to use and definitely do a better job at the expense of a little more physical effort.

I consider my investment in this machine 100% wasted. I should have sent it back the very first time I used it. I really regret keeping it.

I will look for a machine that actually works and buy that. Naturally, no Hoover product will be considered. ...

Hoover U5172-900 Fold Away Widepath Bagless Upright Vacuum

... I clean houses for a living. I needed a 2nd vacuum for my 2 story house and still needed a 3rd for apartment cleanouts, etc. This vacuum had such a low price, I first planned to use it for business.

Since I have used it in my home, I decided this vacuum was better and decided to keep it for my home, along with my Dirt Devil Reaction (which I also love). I have a reconditioned bagless Bissell that I will be bringing on the job.

This Hoover is powerful and light. It really is as powerful as a Dyson and that says a lot. The dust cup empties easily. The attachments are fantastic for furniture, baseboards and corners. I can also store it away easily.

Thank you Dirt Devil for a wonderful product and Amazon.com for a fantastic price!
(A previous review had mentioned debris coming out of the exhaust vents but in actuality it is just the exhaust blowing around dust, dog hair, etc. that is on the surface being cleaned. The filter is not allowing debris to escape from the vacuum.)

WindTunnel⢠2 Extra Reach⢠Bagless Upright Vacuum

... I've owned this vac for about a year and a half now. It does a good job on carpet, ok on hard floors and the filter is easy to clean. The vac has broken down twice now. Once under warranty a circuit board went out. This was replaced painlessly by the closest hoover vac dealer. Now the transmission drive for the HEPA filter has gone out. I took it apart and was not impressed to find plastic gears driving the filter. Pretty cheap engineering. I talked to the vac place and they say they repair a lot of these. My old hoover lasted 10 yrs with no breakdowns (I still use it in the shop) before I upgraded to what I thought would be a better vac. I should have saved the money. ...

Hoover U6476-900 WindTunnel Upright Vacuum Cleaner

... I like this vacuum a lot and eventually one day it would not turn off. The actuator inside the handle is plastic and if the switch is stiff the plastic bends and does not rock the switch to off.
Take the two small screws out of the handle and remove the handle (just the reverse of how you assembled it). This will expose the on-off rocker switch. Rock it back and forth manually and the vacuum should turn on and off. If not the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. However, mine was very stiff. It worked when I manually rocked it but was too stiff when I put it back together to turn off.
What has worked for me on this vacuum: I went to radio shack and bought a spray can of Control/Contact Cleaner and Lubricant. It comes with a small piece of tubing. Once the handle was off (again) I put the tube into the top edge of the switch and pushed the button FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND and then did the bottom edge of the switch. I worked the switch manually a couple of times. I repeated the spraying one more time and the rocking. I wiped off any excess that was visible. I put it all back together and it has been working fine for me.
This stuff is made for electrical contacts... HOWEVER, it is to be used very sparingly!!! Also, a new can has a bit of pressure. Be careful that you don't blow some back at you.

HOOVER CAR VAC ROADRAT WET/DRY 12volt

... This is a very nice product in many ways. Being a wet/dry vac in itself is a great selling point. There's also the power cord, which is long enough to reach just about anywhere inside a vehicle, even large SUVs. Removing and cleaning the canister and filter is a snap.

I was disappointed with the suction, though. Given the power stated I was expecting more, but it seems dustbuster-type vacuums haven't improved at all over the years in this regard. Holding a finger to the opening, I could barely feel the air move.

Vacuuming my car's carpets and seats, it sucked up loose dirt and tiny pebbles very well, but was completely unable to loosen/suck fuz and such from fabric (both carpets and seats). I suppose you need a motorized brush for this. Maybe I was just expecting too much.

Overall it's a great choice, especially if wet vacuuming is a requirement, but I want more suction! ...

Hoover S3341 Constellation Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner

... The constellation is a great tool! I vacuum everyday and this littler champion works great. I have owned several vacuum cleaners, including a Kirby and this is my favorite machine. I have all hardwood floors and this little baby floats around and the suction can't be beat. I love the flexible hose, as this allows me to do all the stairs while the constellation floats at the bottom. The turbo carpet attachment is lightweight and easy to use too. I am impressed with the suction and the ease of this very cool item. I love the fact that the on-board tools can be attached on the canister or the wand. I love the lightweight telescoping wands and the ease of switching attachments. This is a very cool design. The cord can be wrapped around the base really easy too. All I do is disconnect the hose, turn on the constellation and spin it like a top. The cord wraps around the base effortlessly. (I do hold the cord while I spin the machine to ensure it wraps up nicely. ) When it reaches the outlet, I turn it off and attach the outlet end to the cord via the clip designed as part of the plug.
