Cheaply made handle.
Handle is out of proportion to a bottom sweeper.
I am afraid that one of these days, this handle will crack.
to put it back together, you'll need a welder.
Up to date sweeper works ok on small jobs

As I recall you do have to do some adjusting depending upon exactly which model cleaner you have, but if you are replacing it, likely you have the ability to do this if necessary. You can pay more and get a more exact model I believe, but this is a great product for the money.

Eureka 433A Optima Lightweight Bagless Upright Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

This vacuum works as well (or better)than the large, heavy uprights. The suction is excellent & it is easy to use. It is so light!!! Canister removes easily for empting. I like that you can turn off the brush when you use the hose. This one does not have all of the bells and whistles of a more expensive vacuum, but if you are just looking for one that cleans well and is "user friendly" - this is the one!

HAAN DUO Steam Sweeper & Floor Sanitizer HD-50 Review

HAAN DUO Steam Sweeper and Floor Sanitizer HD-50
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted a steam cleaner that vacuumed and steam mopped, independently or simultaneously...this machine does that, but...
1. Claims to not wet floors as much as other steam mops...not true...puts down a lot of moisture...floors remain wet after steaming. I have to go over with a towel to dry...and towel is dirty every time...so, the steam may disinfect as it claims, but it just does not clean up the dirt and debris...the cleaning pads are very thin and get soiled easily unlike the Shark steam pocket mop.
2. Claims to be easy to use...not true. The cord is forever coming off the handle. If left sitting on its provided "mat" for just a moment (while moving furniture out of the way, etc) it leaks out a lot of water. It leaks out a lot of water when first plugged in and waiting for unit to heat up too.
3. Claims to vacuum....actually, it bristles up debris, but does not do a great job of that...the debris gets caught up in the front where the brush is and since the debris is wet from the steam (if steaming at the same time while vacuuming) then it will drop wet debris back on to the floor especially if bumped.
4. Claims to not use as much water as other steam models...not true, I have to fill the reservoir 3xs more compared to the Shark Steam cleaner.
5. Handle is extremely long and not adjustable...difficult to use for steaming under beds.
6. Claims "hands-free" soiled pad removal...not really. While the steam plate can be removed by foot, you still have to use your hands to pull the pad off the steam plate.
I own a Shark Steam mop and it works great, but I didn't like their steam/vacuum mop as the vacuum and steam functions cannot be used simultaneously.
Definitely returning and will go back to vacuuming with a vacuum and steam mop with the Shark floor steam mop until a better machine is discovered/created.

Oreck Commercial OR100 The Oreck Upright Vacuum Premier Review

Oreck Commercial OR100 The Oreck Upright Vacuum Premier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just received this vacuum cleaner today. Mine is actually the SOR100, same cleaner only mine has an aluminum brush roll and the housing is chrome not black. My first impression of this when I took it out of the box was the quality of the unit. Steel housing, aluminum brush roll, easy assembly, just an over all solid feel. And it easy to remove the brush roll and fan to clean.
Since there isn't a great description for this vacuum cleaner I will give some of the details.
It is the commercial series of the Oreck vacuums. It has a reusable bag and a 50 foot long power cord (this model may be only 35). The wheels on the back are wide and easy to roll. It has six adjustable carpet settings, ( although most people will probably just use one or two) it doesn't self adjust like the domestic line of Orecks. The cleaning path is 12" and it doesn't have a light. However, it only weighs about 14lbs and is super light to carry and push around and it will lay completely flat so you can get under furniture.
My only complaints are few and not enough I feel to lower my rating. The bag is reusable, that's great right? No more bags to buy right? Well the only problem is that when you empty the bag it tends to throw some dust into the air. Because of this you may want to empty it outside, a small inconvenience but worth it when you see just what this thing gets out of your carpet!
Another gripe I have is with the cord storage system, the clips are plastic and don't rotate to allow the cord to fall of in one motion. You have to unwind it by hand. Only takes a few seconds but still, would be a nice feature to have. And since the clips are plastic, I doubt they will last long but they are replaceable, so we'll see how it goes.
The only other complaint I have is that isn't made completely in the USA like their domestic vacs, it says designed and developed in the USA but made in PROC. Which I assume is the People's Republic of China. Now, I primarily bought an Oreck because I thought all their uprights were made in the USA and I hate to buy Chinese made goods.
However, it shipped from a plant in Cookeville, TN which makes other uprights. It would appear that these vacuums might be made in China but the final Quality Control check is still done in the USA. This is actually fine by me, as it means there are still jobs for US citizens even though the vacuum is made overseas. You wouldn't be able to tell it though by the build quality.
True this vacuum doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the other vacuums have. It doesn't have a hose attachment or any on board tools. Fine by me, I have never owned a vacuum with on board tools where the hose didn't start slipping out over time. Such a pain to be vacuuming for a bit only to realize the hose has come undone and you have to redo that section.
As someone said on another review, everything made is a Swiss Army knife anymore, nothing is made to do one thing well, only do several things ok. Well I'll tell you this vacuum does clean carpet and it does it well.
This vacuum is not for use on bare floors or hardwood floors. It has a feature on the brush roll that will damage a bare floor. There are only two rows of bristles, but opposite those bristles are metal nubs that when they pass over the floor they vibrate the carpet.( this model has a fiberglass brush roll so I don't know it has the vibrator feature ) This causes the deep down dirt to be vibrated out of the carpet so the vacuum can suck it up. Very cool!
Update: I just wanted to add, after reading the first review that this vacuum eats belts, I think I understand why they are having a problem. You have to set the carpet height higher than you might think. The vacuum should just slightly, and ever so slightly drag on the carpet, it should glide over it fairly easily. If you set it too low, the brush roll just digs into the carpet and causes enough friction to heat up the belt. I know if you are used to using a department store vacuum you think it needs to drag on the carpet but this vacuum picks up very well without beating the hell out of the carpet. Just buy it and use it and you will see what I mean.

Kirby Lickity Split Review

Kirby Lickity Split
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just used this Lickity Split on my friends carpet - her daughter spilt almost the whole bottle of dark purple nail polish - the carpet was ruined! They tried nail polish remover, water and rubbing alchohol etc to no avail. So, wasn't too worried about the 'test on hidden area of carpet first' warning. We totally soaked each blemish (after it has hardened in the carpet for a couple weeks), and rubbed with a towel once it had soaked in. Miraculous recovery, and may save them loosing their deposit on their lease! Ordering 3 more bottles!

ANTI ICKY POO ODOR REMOVER AND P-BATH PRE-TREATER COMBO Review

ANTI ICKY POO ODOR REMOVER AND P-BATH PRE-TREATER COMBO
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After using this product completely as directed, I found that it did remove the odor after several applications, however not as well as it claims. It has not detoured or discouraged my feline friend from going back to the same exact spot and re-soiling. Maybe I need to try the gallon size? The space only required a quart as recommended by the company as it was rather small spot. So I don't know if even a gallon would work any better? My advice: If it is a a rather large area or not, get the Gallon size! I really don't think this product is worth the money and hype. There are several other products on the market that do the same thing as this one does and work better without the hassel of several steps and are cheaper. An example is a product called Stink Free. You can find this product at any pet store and it is much cheaper with less the work. I think Anti Icky Poo would work well for other stains, but as far as urine stains.... it is not what it's all hyped to be!

Dyson DC17 All Floors Review

Dyson DC17 All Floors
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
HOLY COW is all I could say after using it for the first time. The amount of "stuff" that came out of our carpets was astonishing. I also feel like I got a great deal on it, on sale for $299 at best buy. That was about the maximum of my price threshold having never seen one in action. Well let me tell you at $499 it would have been a good deal based on how much suction power this thing has. I feel so fortunate to have gotten one for such a good price.
After reading some reviews and product comparisons I decided on the DC17. We needed a new vacuum as our old one was around 8 years old and a lately it seemed to suck at sucking. We have 2 kids and a Labrador Retriever who are constantly tracking dirt and such into the house as well as the animal hair and dander...OMG the amount of hair and dander was astonishing...the carpets after one vacuuming were noticeably cleaner and looked to my wife and I as if they had been steam cleaned.
The only problem with getting this vacuum is that we are now aware of the filth that was residing unseen in our carpets for all those years and the shame that accompanies it is almost unbearable...but persevere we must!!
One note that I read elsewhere and again in the documentation was not to use carpet fresh powder or things like it.

Lola Rola Sticky Mop Review

Lola Rola Sticky Mop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is just a large size sticky roller, like the one you use to get lint off of clothes. It is very useful in some places, and gets more things off the tile floor than you ever thought were there, even after the floor has been swabed. I do not know how it wouold do on a carpet, perhaps not as good as a vacuum. My dog gets on my bed during the days, and it takes the hair off the sheets in seconds.
On a tile floor one must "pre swipe" it over a rug or bed, because the adhesive is so good that it sticks to the floor and has to be scraped off (Ungh!) The roller is held by a press apart plastic U shape holder which is very fragile and easily broken. The refills are a bit expensive for throwaways, but I think it is workth it.

Fully Automatic Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Review

Fully Automatic Robotic Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off this vacuum was given to my wife as a gift. So I can't really say if it's with buying but I can tell you it's with using. I feel that it sweeps great and works well in open areas as well as cleaning under Furniture. It also a great way to great multi task; you just it on and let it go and then you and do something else. Cleans great on carpet and hard floors. There are some down sides to this vacuum. It takes a long to sweep and it always seems to miss something on the floor. It would be a lot faster to use a normal plug in vacuum to sweep and a lot of times you will have to go back and sweep places that the vacuum missed. But still it's cool to say I have a robot that cleans.
So all in all if you get this vacuum as a gift I think you will like it. If you buy it I don't think you will feel that you're getting your moneys worth.

This is my second Roomba and I love them. If you have hard wood floors and no time to sweep this is gold! Be aware that they still aren't perfect. It will get caught on cords, and try to kill itself with a lost sock. You will probably be replacing it in 2 years. That said I run mine twice a week and love it.

The piece is basically a brush that collects all the hair on its bristles. I would say the brush is worth 2$ and that is all the product should be sold for. The electrical part of it is totally useless. There is the dirty job of removing hte hair from the bristles to clean. Very icky. Don't buy this.

I wish i could tell you whether this works or not, but unfortunately the item description and scunci.com neglect to tell you you can only use it with scunci 1000 or 25000. I have a scunci 900. you can't put it together, the carry strap doesn't even fit. and the wonderful ASSEENONTV guys DO NOT TAKE RETURNS. I repeat they DO NOT TAKE RETURNS. so, don't bother with this if you have a scunci900 (the one that walmart sells).

I bought this product last Christmas, I've had it almost a year now. Overall it's a good product. The only complaint would be that the cord is too short, I have to unplug it 3 times to get my floors done. When you order, you may want to order extra pads. I was always needing mine, and they hadn't been washed yet. I am just now getting ready to order new pads, they lasted almost a year. The product is sturdy and well built.

Rubbermaid Floor & Carpet Sweeper 6.5'' Path Review

Rubbermaid Floor and Carpet Sweeper 6.5'' Path
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I work in a restaurant and we go through floor sweepers all the time. We usually just pick up the first one we can find at Wal-Mart (which is a Bissell). They would last for about a month after very heavy use.. after that time the brushes would be so messed up from water, hair, dirt and whatever else would wind itself around the rollers that it they would become fairly useless. So I attempted to buy a carpet sweeper that would last and i decided to buy this one as it comes from rubbermaid's commercial line. This thing was horrible. Brand new it wouldn't pick up a straw wrapper off of our low pile carpet. It was so bad that for almost a month nearly every server decided to sweep the carpet with a broom rather than use this inefficient machine. Management finally decided to buy us some new carpet sweepers but, not paying attention, they bought us two more of these pathetic rubbermaid contraptions and then still later another one. All of them (and the bissell too) have absolute crap handles. They all fall apart and come off when you are trying to use them.. the current segmented-handle technology(?) for carpet sweepers seems to be at an all time low. I will say, after having gone through 4 of these hideous, HIDEOUS sweepers they do get slightly better with age and abuse.. but that usefulness is very short-lived and only a very small step up from the absolute garbage they are at the outset.
I wish i could tell you what makes this particularly awful unfortunately i don't know for sure; however, i am currently blaming the single rubber brush for its abysmal performance.. if you need real performance for commercial purposes to pick up semi-large items (e.g. french fries, straws, wrappers, pieces of ripped napkins, cherry tomatoes, and other restaurant related items) stick with a dual brush system and stay away from singular rubber brush sweepers because they simple do not cut it.
(this is my first review.. but i intend on reviewing more carpet sweepers so that anyone else who is in a similar dilemma will be able to make a more informed choice)
