I have been using the Swiffer Sweeper plus vac for about one month now and it has been a great addition to make the daily cleaning faster than before. It works much better than the broom and dustpan, by collecting a lot of dust that is very difficult to collect with the broom. Is very useful when there’s a baby at home by collecting the dust safely without exposing them. You can postpone ...

This cordless little devil is one of the best cleaning appliances I have purchased in a long, long time!!  The price is affordable, and if you go to the Proctor and Gamble website (* see below) you can print a $5.00 off coupon.   You can also review the one year limited warraty.  Honestly, the coupon was the incentive for me to buy/try it.  If your h...

When a full-size vaccum isn't needed, I turn to my cordless floor vac. Black & Decker Dust Buster Cordless Floor Vac is good for small jobs, but not for heavy duty cleaning. I've used this on ceramic tile, hardwood floors and throw rugs. I had owned a couple of these type vacs in the past. What drew me to this one was the regular size Dust Buster that is attached to the front of the...

I have pets (a lot of pets) and kids.  Sweeping and using the basic swiffer was taking up a LARGE portion of my time since both had to be repeated several times a day.  I invested in the Swiffer Sweeper Vac and i am IN LOVE.  The ads show this item being used like the basic swiffer, and then turn on the vac for "big stuff" but i run the vac the entire time i am running ...

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...

The Bissell Flip-Ease Dry to Wet Vac is one great invention. When I first moved into my home, I was taken aback by more than 1000 sq. feet of tile. How would I ever clean this much tile on a daily basis? I tried a lot of wet/dry vac and was never impressed until now. The Bissell Flip-Ease Dry to Wet Vac is truly the best in the market. The vac is truly wasy to use. The removable and washable pa...

The Hoover Steam Vac is one of the best machines ever made.  I use my machine to clean almost everything I own.  You can use it on hardwood floors, carpet, and ceramic tile.  This steam cleaner is very easy to use and operate.  It has a two tank system.  One tank is for the clean water and detergant.  The other tank is for the dirty water.  The clean water aut...

I purchased this vacuum because I lived in a small duplex and didn't have room for a large upright. It fit perfectly in my living room closet and didn't get in the way. However, after a month I decided it was no longer for me. Yes, the vacuum is very lightweight; however, like the big vacs it has no "give". You have to manually push the vacuum where you want it to go. Whereas ...

Normally I'm very skeptical of any "as seen on TV" items that are sold through those 30 minute "infomercials" late at night.  However, on rare occasions I'll see one offering something that looks like a good idea, and it turns out to be something that I could actually use.  Such was the case with the FoodSaver Vac 750 vacuum sealer that I purchased a few ye...

I was getting really tired of having to take time off from work to have my carpets cleaned so I decided to purchase a carpet cleaner. I did some research and really liked the Hoover Steam Vac. It allows me to clean my carpets about 3 times a year without ruining the carpet. Yes I did find out that you can clean your carpet too much! Granted it is not professional but if you keep up with it ther...

We have one of the larger size vacuum sealers that we got for Christmas several years ago. When I saw that Reynolds had come out with a small handi-vac I wanted to purchase one and try it out.  I purchased the Reynold's Handi-Vac Starter Kit. The starter kit included the vacuum sealer, three quart size handi-vac freezer bags and batteries. You can purchase additional size freezer bags ...

I needed a nice, powerful vacuum for my first apartment a few years ago that was compact but would get the job done.  I have kids who like to eat messy things, and so effectiveness was very important.  It's a very cute neon green unit that has a handle which lowers easily for compact storage.  It is a bagless--which is fantastic.  You can buy filters that have baking sod...

Every year for Christmas, my family gets together on Christmas Eve for a big family party.  We eat, open gifts and play games.  One game we always play every year is Dirty Santa and we usually tell everyone to get a uni-sex gift that is $10.00 or less.  This year, while trying to find my gift, I came across the vacuum sealer at Wal-mart and I thought that would be a nifty gift fo...

   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...

I'm tired of raking leaves and purchased this Worx product. I haven't really used it much,but here's my limited review(update later). Assembly was easy and the product  seemed quite durable and nicely made, also comes with a dvd on usage and safety. I had alittle problem trying to put the bag on my shoulder and use the blower.  After some adjustment, things went ...

This small shop vac provides much more power for small cleanups than handheld vacuums, but it is essentially a shop vacuum.  As such, it is dirty to deal with and not very ergonomically handy.A friend of mine bought one of these when we were cleaning a rental house, and it was so great that I went out and bought one for myself. This was about five years ago.We’ve had several of the s...

Fortunately, we have one of these wet/dry vacuum's which really comes in handy to get a watery mess cleaned up quickly which helps you avoid a bigger problem.Our old house...

I got the Dynamite Plus Quick Vac from Amazon.com. It was $49.99 with free shipping. I didn’t realize it was so SMALL! I mean the “Quick Vac” in the title should have clued me in but I guess I just wasn’t paying attention! The Dynamite Plus Quick Vac looks like a normal bagless upright vacuum, it’s just SMALL. It weighs less than 10 lbs which I find I like- ...

I got this Hoover Steam Vac as a gift.  I wanted to own a carpet cleaner because I was tired of renting one at the store every time I wanted to clean my carpets.  This is a trusted name and I like Hoover products.  This is so easy to use.  You simply fill the water tank to the level and add the carpet cleaner solution to the tank.  It does a great job of cleaning, you w...
