I just love my new Bissell vacuum cleaner.  I wish we would have bought it sooner instead of trying to nurse our old Hoover along  for the family room downstairs.After checking on line recommendations and looking at many vacuums we decided on the Bissell 82H1 Cleanview Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner.   We were able to test and run the vacuum at Sears when we stopped in...

I saw the Cordless Swivel Sweeper G2 advertised on TV. I had one of the original Cordless Swivel Sweepers but it had begun to wear out. The new Cordless Swivel Sweeper G2 promises that it has a couple of new features. Some of the new features:A back saver elbow joint that allows that sweeper to bend so that it can go under, say, furniture.This sweeper comes with a brush cleaning tool. Has a...

After struggling for years with heavy and not very effective vacuum cleaners, I decided to give the Oreck a try. Since it is recommended by people suffering with rheumatoid arthritis, this was a deciding factor in buying this particular vacuum cleaner.It has a wonderful filtration system that effectively eliminates or reduces common molds, mildews and other allergens from your home. The triple ...

I have owned three Dustbusters in the past 10 years.  First a 9.6 volt, then a 14.4 volt, and now an 18 volt one.  I think it might be like a drug tolerance where users find it necessary to use more to get the same result.  No that was a joke... Actually, since I use my Dustbuster a lot I think it is worth having a decent one.  Since my previous Dustbuster slowly lost the ab...

Our new house has hardwood in the entry hallway, dining area and kitchen and I hate sweeping! I found this at Bed, Bath and Beyond and told my husband I was buying it! It is vacuum for your hardwood floors! Yes, I am lazy and dispise sweeping! This is super easy to use. You do need to keep it plugged in because it is cordless. Just turn it on and 'sweep' your area. You can also use this...

I borrowed the Rainbow water filter vacuum system from my sister in law awhile ago and I actually really liked it.  The water filtering system was a bit gross at times as the vaccum sucked up gunk and junk from the carpets and spewed it into the water filled chamber of the machine and became murky and dirty, but it was obviously doing a decent job of cleaning the carpets.  The vacuum ...

After years of struggling with heavy vacuums from floor to floor, in our two-story house, I am officially in heaven with my Freedom vacuum by Simplicity. And freedom is a great word for it! Freedom from backaches, freedom from straining, and freedom from lugging a dinosaur upstairs and down.It all started in the most unusual way. A tenant of ours (in a rental house) developed health proble...

The Eureka Boss Smart Vac Pet Lovers Upright Vacuum is a big disappointment! I paid 170.00 at our local store. The Eureka is yellow in color and stands out on the shelf with its sleek design and onboard attachments. It has numerous features and a Consumer Digest Best Buy! This is not my best buy and I highly recommend you avoid this product. I have another brand which I've owned for years b...

I have two school's of thought pertaining to this machine, it isn't worth the price, yes, I know, and the maintenance expense and hassle, but it does have some fine features.  I was talked into buying this vacuum by a high-pressured salesman, but mostly for it's other aspect it doubles as an air purifier.   On this count, I don't have any complaints, with a h...

We bought our Rainbow Vacuum at least ten years ago! And it was expensive!! BUT, it is still going strong and I still love it.Rainbow vacuums are unique. Instead of a bag, a basin of water is where the dirt is caught. When you are done vacuuming, you dump the water and (ugh!) all the gunk you vacuumed up, clean the basin and you are ready for next time. Please don't EVER forget to empty the...

There are so many areas of my house that need vacuuming, that aren't worth dragging out the big vacuum cleaner for. Or perhaps there are some tight, difficult areas that a regular vacuum cleaner can't reach. That's when I enjoy using a lightweight (stick-type) vacuum cleaner. I have tried many over the years, and I like the featherweight Bissell a lot. Of course,...

I don't know if we are just extremely hard on vacuums or if they do not make them like they used to but it seems like we have to buy a new vaccum at least 2 times a year. Recently my vacuum broke and my grandma bought this vacuum from an infomercial. I am not sure how much it costed but I did see that you could buy them from Target for about $169. She bought this because it was buy one get ...

I am always on the lookout for a cordless vacuum that has some power. I have been disappointed many times. This Shark Cordless Sweeper has some very good features, but it also lacks in suction power. However, since I have an area rug in my kitchen that I vacuum every evening after dinner, it is very convenient to have a cordless sweeper nearby. It saves me having to get out the larger vacuum, u...

What can I say, I Love, Love, Love my new Roomba.  I was talking to my son last week, and he told me he had purchased a Roomba vacuum from a store near  us called New Uses.  He told me he loved it and I told him I had always wanted one.  The next day I received a brand new I-Robot Roomba for my birthday from my hubby, and my eldest son and daughter-in-law.  This is a 5t...

We purchased this Hoover SteamVac Deep Cleaner with Cleurge from QVC.com, back in February.  The house we had moved into had so many carpet stains from the previous tenants. Most of these stains were from spilled Espresso all over the cream colored carpet. Of course they cleaned the carpet before we moved in, but after walking through the house and with constant foot traffic, the stains ca...

After watching numerous ads on TV for the Swivel Sweeper, when I saw it at Bed Bath And Beyond one evening, I decided to purchase it. I wasn't looking for it to take the place of my heavy duty vacuum. I just wanted something that would allow me to easily clean the kitchen rug after cooking, or that would fit in hard to reach areas that my big vacuum could not go. The fact that it ...

H20 Steamer mop is amazing!  For anyone searching for a way to steam their floors from wood to tile to carpet, this is an incredible investment!  I first saw a commercial for this product saying that it would steam, sanitize, and clean all type of floors.  Having tile and carpet in my home it was hard to believe this little machine could do what it said.  PLUS the mop only u...

Prior to using the Infinity upright vacuum, I used to have a bagless Dirt Devil. The only reason we decided to go with the Infinity was because we wanted the cyclone method of collecting dirt. These cyclone type of vacuums are all the rage right now, claiming to be more powerful and never lose suction. Honestly, I couldn't tell a difference after about a month of using this Infinity vacuum....

   Rarely have I been more disappointed with a product than I am with the Hoover Steam Vac Deep Cleaner.   I ordered it from Kohl's for $229.99, and was looking forward to receiving it and giving the living room carpet and furniture a good going-over.   When it arrived there was some basic assembly like attaching the handle, etc. I filled up the tank with water...

Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen I woke up before the sun was even close to rising & went shopping on Black Friday!  First we hit up Walmart at 4:30am then bought all our things & booked it over to Target for their opening at 6am.  As soon as I entered the doors I made a beeline for the vacuum department!  Who could resist such a good deal on a Dyson?  I paid $350 for th...
