The vent from the exhaust blows the same stuff you are trying to pick up. You'll spend most of your time tactfully pushing material around until you can flank it to pick it up. Stay away.

Very strong suction, works great on pet hair on the couch. The charge doesn't last long at all though. After vacuuming the couch, there was almost no power left in it.

Hoover S1156 Sidewinder Hand Vac, Metallic Gold Review

Hoover S1156 Sidewinder Hand Vac, Metallic Gold
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After dissatisfaction with several Dirt Devil models, I found the Hoover Sidewinder to be what I was looking for. Simple, bagless, and the brush is belt-driven off the motor so it keeps turning even when picking up moderately heavy debris. I keep it near the cat's area for sweeping up excess litter and dry catfood chunks. This quickly brought the Dirt Devils' vacuum-driven brushes to a halt but not the Sidewinder, and the Sidewinder was less expensive.

Black & Decker SPV1800 18V Cordless Platinum Series Hand Vac Review

Black and Decker SPV1800 18V Cordless Platinum Series Hand Vac
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review is for; 18 Volt Cordless Vac SPV1800 [Platinum Series]
After my 9.6-volt Black & Decker Cordless Vacuum wouldn't hold a charge anymore after a few years of use, I decided to try Black & Decker's 18-Volt Version & I'm glad I did! The best thing about this vacuum is the battery is removable and is also compatible with other Black & Decker power tools such as their cordless drill. The battery is also available separately if you need to replace it without buying another whole vacuum. The bigger battery also has longer run times than the previous 9.6-volt version which is at least runs more than twice as long or more. The suction power is adequate even though it only has one speed (the 9.6 volt version had two speeds, but the high speed would rapidly drain the battery).
The only thing I don't like about this vacuum is it doesn't come with any attachments, but if you owned the previous Black & Decker 9.6-volt version, you might want to keep the two crevice attachments because they will fit in this new one. Great cordless vacuum to have for auto use or quick clean-ups around the house!

Metropolitan Vac 'N' Blo Compact Vacuum Review

Metropolitan Vac 'N' Blo Compact Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
METRO VAC' N BLO... this is THE IDEAL TOOL for cleaning any automobile!!! It'll suck up anything just as the manufacturer promises. It more than blows, IT JET BLASTS warm DRY AIR that'll blow my wifes long hair back at over 10ft away!!! This is great for cleaning automotive air ducts. And if you really care about [your] vehicle (inside as well as out) and want to keep it running cool at its best AND easy to work on then I highly recommend the Vac' N Blo. Carefully wash your [cooled] engine, then BLO it dry. Do this quarterly [or more frequently for heavy use vehicles] and you wont regret it. Just use common sense and be sure to dry every engine part after rinsing, especially the electronic components Before starting the engine.
------------------------------Now the reason for ranking 4 out of 5. ---------------------------------------------
The hoses and accessory tools are not pliable damage free plastics! In my opinion the standard hose length should be 12ft.. The included 6' is too short for some locations and the optional 24' is overkill. I think METRO could afford better quality in every step of manufacturing - not just in the main motor and cannister.
I think this product would be an easier sell if the total quality were addressed.
It should also include a resting platform (not at an additional price for one with wheels) or better still (and cheaper) weld a couple of simple stoppers to the underbelly...
That's my opinion -- Excuse my enthusiasm. NO REGRETS !!!!

Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Co., Inc.: Committed to the American DreamIn December of 1939, Hyman Gulker pawned his pocket watch and gave $50 to his daughter and son-in-law, Pearl and Israel Stern. That was the beginning of Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company, the family's American Dream.

Before he founded Metro, Israel sold vacuum cleaners door to door. He was such a great salesman, in fact, that the president of the last company he worked for offered him $100 to come back into the fold. To the president's great disappointment, however, Israel's wife had the last word. She said, "Nothing doing. We're on our own now!"

Royal SE 2800 Hand-Held Spot Cleaner Review

Royal SE 2800 Hand-Held Spot Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got the Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber for a gift at christmas and with two dog I thougtht this thing will really be handy. I have Two Border Collies they are Seven and Three so they are past the potty training, but the sopts from when they were potty training are still there. So the next day after I got it I decided to find a big old spot and man was I suprised at how well it got it out and how dry it was.
Pros
1.Corded for continuous power
2. Rotating Brush is good at scrubbing but gentle Enough not to ruin the rugs.
3.powerful suction
4. good cord length
Cons
1.Dirty water bin takes long to dry word of advice(shake it after rinsing leave near heater with end cap off)
Thats it for the cons
Now I will tell you about my experience with different cleaners. My first one was the hoover steam vac with the brushes. It ruined my carpets the rotating brushes unwind the threads in the rug leaving it looking matted down. The next machine I used was the cordless Bissell Spot Lifter which was good but did not hold a good charge and there was no power brush.
So there you have it I would defenitly recomend this product. It did a good job on carpets in the car and out of the car. I have two tips for using it(when doing the car don't be stupid like some of the other people that have recommended it, you can only use it inthe upright position so don't try and do the backrest of your car because it will activate the float and shut off the suction)Also clean up and sand with a vacuum before using it. Another person wrote that the sand clogged the dirty water intake, well if that person was smart they would have read the directions where it said for water pick up only clean any bulky items before using this machine. That is all I have to say about this product.
Thank You

Dirt Devil Ultra Power Handheld Vacuum Review

Dirt Devil Ultra Power Handheld Vacuum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this vac for cleaning up a small space, just a room, and did not need a whole upright thing.
I can say that this unit must have a very powerful motor- when you turn it on, it sounds like a Corvette at 6000 rpm and there does not seem to be anything built into the product to lessen this clamor.
The unfortunate thing is that all this power as you would think from the sound(s) that it makes does not seem to translate into a lot of suction power. But the brush is very powerful and distinguishis this product from other "Dustbuster" type hand vacs.
As a handheld vaccum, I do find its brush powerful to get things like cookie crumbs and whatnot out of a cheap synthetic carpet but beware, it is really loud. Well, one other good thing is that the bags are easily available.
Probably you can find another handheld vac that is quieter but beware that some "Dustbuster" - style vacs do not have a sweeping powerful brush, they just inhale loose debris. So consider it carefully.
It is an okay product and people ask to borrow it, but it does have its drawbacks in the noise and that the suction is not as powerful as it should be.
I think perhpas a lot of people here are comparing this Dirt Devil negatively with respect to hand vacuums that do not have powered brushes so it is not really a fair comparison.

Don't buy this. When you first open it, you immediately notice that it's not a well-made product... uneven edges, cheap materials, overall very cheap-looking. Then when you turn it on, it fails as a vacuum cleaner completely. Does not "suck" even the smallest piece of dirt, and it picks up the dust and blows it all over the place instead of keeping it inside. Terrible, terrible product... get away from it. Just got it today, and I just printed out the return label after trying it out. DON'T BUY!

Germ Guardian GGH200 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with UV-C Air-Sanitizing Technology Review

Germ Guardian GGH200 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with UV-C Air-Sanitizing Technology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Suction power not that strong compared with one I once owed powered with outlet cord. The UV-C Air-Sanitizing feature "sold" me, honestly no way to realistically judge if or how well it works. The blue light is on, but most irritating, it makes this mid frequency humming sound. So irritating that especially in a quiet room it's too much to deal with. My solution is I put it in another room in a wall closet (even though I don't know whether I get much benefit from it there.) The best aspect - vacuum without cord.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Germ Guardian GGH200 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with UV-C Air-Sanitizing Technology

For quickly cleaning dry spills and messes, this cordless handheld vacuum cleaner supplies 7-1/5 volts of rechargeable power. The unit offers a sleek design made of durable plastic, a comfortable grip handle, and standard filtration. In addition, nano-silver technology embedded into the dirt cup helps fight the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold for a healthier home environment. The unit remains charged and ready to use at all times thanks to its charging base, which not only keeps the vacuum cleaner charged and ready to go, but also comes with a built-in UV-C air sanitizer. The sanitizer processes 450 cubic feet of air per hour, using UV-C technology--the same technology hospitals use to sanitize. It works continuously to kill 99-percent of targeted airborne germs, plus it destroys odors from smoke and pet areas and kills allergens like mold spores and dust mites. The unit's fan draws in the air; its UV-C light destroys germs, odors, and allergens; then it circulates disinfected air back out into the room. The UV-C air sanitizer and charging base offers quiet operation and comes with a power cord about 7-feet long for convenient placement just about anywhere. The handheld vacuum cleaner measures 4-1/2 by 7 by 17 inches, the charging base measures 6 by 4-1/2 by 7 inches, and both items carry a one-year limited warranty.

I bought this for the little things, and for that it works- as long as it doesn't take you more than about 3-4 minutes to clean up. The battery on this thing sucks. It takes a long time to get a full charge and a full charge means only about 4 minutes of battery usage.
Save yourself the frustration and spend the extra few dollars to get a higher quality vacuum.

Black & Decker HV9010P Retriever Pet-Series Cyclonic-Action Corded Dustbuster and Blower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son's dog is the ideal dog with one exception. He sheds like crazy! I can vacuum the wood floor but the furniture turns into a furry mess when he rubs against it. I've bought every gadget that I could find to try to deal with this with no avail. This vacuum pulls the hair from the fabric with little time and effort. The rubber nubs instead of bristles on the brush really do the trick. I hope that larger vacuums will follow with this concept.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Black & Decker HV9010P Retriever Pet-Series Cyclonic-Action Corded Dustbuster and Blower

Designed for pet-hair cleanup, this corded vacuum cleaner offers the power of an upright in the size of a hand vacuum. It quickly removes pet hair from most household surfaces including floors, carpet, upholstery, bedding, auto interiors, stairs, and tight household spaces. Specialized rubber bristles on its retriever turbo brush generate an electrostatic charge to pick up and release pet hair better than standard turbo brushes. The unit comes with a flexible crevice hose for getting into tight spots, plus it can be converted into a blower for removing hair and dirt from hard-to-clean areas. Even more, its translucent blow and turbo head allows for seeing the pet hair and debris that's being picked up. The vacuum's Cyclonic Action keeps dirt off the filter so the suction power stays stronger longer, and its 24-ounce removable translucent bowl empties with one easy step into the trash. Other highlights include three-stage filtration for cleaner air exhaust, a 20-foot power cord, and a convenient cord wrap for storage when not in use. The 750-watt vacuum cleaner measures 15-1/2 by 6-2/7 by 7-4/5 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

Dirt Devil 100 Classic 7 Amp Bagless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Review

Dirt Devil 100 Classic 7 Amp Bagless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a Dirt Devil hand vac in the early 1980's because the carpet salesman where I bought my new carpet told me it would be far superior for use on stairs than the attachment that came with my upright (Rainbow) vacuum cleaner. He was right and I also loved that hand vac for cleaning my upholstered furniture. I bought a Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner last year and I wish I could say that the upholstery attachment sucks, but it doesn't, and it is hard to put on and take off of the hose. I like the Dyson for my carpets but am not at all impressed with their attachments. So, today I bought this Dirt Devil Classic and it is great! I read the reviews here and others were complaining about some of the other models. This hand vac has a belt and the belt can be replaced. The owner of the vac shop told me the difference between the models that are receiving the complaints here and the Classic 0100 that I bought today is that the others are air driven and mine is belt driven and that's why the other models' brushes stop moving when you touch the vac to either your upholstered furniture or your carpet. I paid $49.95 for mine, $10 more than listed on Amazon but I got it today instead of next week. I can't say enough good things about Amazon and their quick service, though, and I do buy a lot from Amazon. So, if anyone else, like me, is reading these reviews prior to purchasing a new Dirt Devil hand vac, please buy a belt driven model and not an air driven one. You won't be sorry. You may pay more but it will be worth it. I gave only 4 stars instead of 5 because it is really noisy!

Dirt Devil M0105 Purpose For Pets Hand Vac Review

Dirt Devil M0105 Purpose For Pets Hand Vac
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
All right...here's the skinny.
Two weeks ago I ordered a Dyson "Animal" handheld from Amazon after agonizing about which handheld to buy. I need something for my carpeted steps. My little Kone handheld wasn't doing the job, and my big Dyson is too bulky to maneuver up and down the steps. The Dyson handheld pulled up that cat hair like whoa.
But the Dyson has this stupid, stupid design feature, which is that there's no on/off switch. Instead it has a trigger-like thing, which you have to keep held down in order to keep the vacuum powered on. If you let go then it shuts off. Trying to maneuver that heavy handheld around the steps without letting go of the trigger was near impossible. I emailed Dyson about it (surely there must have been a trigger lock somewhere?) but when they failed to answer I sent it back to Amazon and ordered this Dirt Devil.
The Dirt Devil does just as good a job as the Dyson, AND it has a proper on/off switch. The cord is long enough that I can reach from the base of the stairs to the landing, and then I take it out, plug it in at the top of the steps, and do the part from the landing to the upstairs hallway. The Dirt Devil is really loud, but I do it when no one else is home so that hardly matters. The only place where the Dyson was better is that its nozzle was narrower. I can't turn the Dirt Devil sideways to do the stair risers, because the brush is wide and the stair above overhangs the riser part. But I can do short strokes up and down the riser instead of going across. This is a fine machine and I'm very, very happy with it.
Just for the record: Dyson finally responded to my email with a "Thanks for the suggestion of a trigger lock"! They said they have over 300 engineers and scientists evaluating customer suggestions like mine and will look into it. I can't believe that with a team of over 300 engineers and scientists nobody tested that thing to see how ridiculous it is to hold a trigger down while you vacuum.

We have two kids under age 3 and a cat, so we have plenty of food, cat litter, and fur to pick up. This little vac is extremely quiet and lightweight, and picks up even cat litter and cooked rice! It does not clean the edges near the wall or corners well; that is its only drawback. I end up having to use a broom to sweep the edges and corners into the middle of the room. Most of our messes are in the main part of the floor, so it is not a huge deal to us. We have had it for two weeks and use it daily and are still on the initial battery charge. I also like the adjustable length of the handle since my husband and I are both tall.
So far, it has been a great purchase. It sure makes cleanup fast and easy.

Black & Decker PSV1800 18-Volt Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner Review

Black and Decker PSV1800 18-Volt Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cordless vacuum cleaner (I LOVE cordless vacuum cleaners) has a lot of positives to recommend it. It does a great job for quick (dog hair) clean ups. Good suction. Good on the edges and area rugs. Easy to maneuver. Really gets under most furniture without argument or bumps, and even fits between the chair legs (in our house). The battery lasts. Feels substantial. Stores easily and out of the way.
A good machine.
But the dirt removal is a problem. Like most quick clean vacuums, there is way too much hand-to-gunk contact. But unlike machines that have some version of a cup that you can empty, this machine needs to be folded, lifted and held over the trash bin. And the weight that made the machine feel solid, is now awkward and unbalanced and makes emptying the dirt an aggravation. For some of us, this is a problem, even with our Wheaties.
Maybe placing the machine into a plastic grocery bag that's on the floor and then opening the dust bin to empty, and then reaching my hand in to pull out the two filters for cleaning? Is that the answer?
I don't know. If somehow the ease of cleaning out the dirt from the Hoover Linx could be combined with the ease of actually using the B&D Pivoting Floor Vacuum ("pivoting" because it folds in half), I would be wild happy.

No more having to lug out the big vacuum cleaner to keep the house looking nice from day to day. This lightweight 18-volt vacuum cleaner works great for sucking up dirt, pet fur, and everyday dry messes--with easy mobility from room to room thanks to its sleek, cordless design. The unit features cyclonic action that keeps dirt off the filter for long-lasting suction power, innovative side-suction vents for effective edge cleaning along baseboards and walls, and an exclusive pivoting action that makes it possible to clean effortlessly under furniture. Turn the motorized brush roll on for vacuuming carpets, or switch it off to protect hard-floor surfaces. In addition, the unit's three-stage filtration system helps ensure cleaner air exhaust, and its bagless dirt canister empties easily so hands stay clean. A charging stand comes included, and the vacuum folds in half for compact charging and storage. The floor vacuum cleaner measures approximately 10-4/5 by 7 by 52 inches and carries a full two-year warranty.

Got this on sale at Target for $10 (Black Friday) and it's a decent little machine. Great for vacuuming my area rug and hardwood floors. I wouldn't expect this machine to clean up a large mess. Very lightweight, easy to maneuver and much quieter than a full size vac. Nice that it also transforms into a hand vac. In one use it picked up a lot of dust and cat hair that wasn't evident. Definitely a keeper!

Keep floors clean throughout the house with this versatile vacuum cleaner. It functions as a stick vac, a handheld vac, and a utility vac--all in one. Use it for routine cleaning of crumbs on the kitchen floor, dirt tracked in by the front door, and general dust and debris in high-traffic areas. Use the hand vac to have increased portability for quick pick-ups of everyday messes and dry spills. The handheld vacuum cleaner detaches from the larger unit and comes with an onboard crevice tool for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like between couch cushions, along window sills and base boards, and other tight spots. Thoughtfully designed, the vacuum cleaner also provides a comfortable handle, an easy-access on/off switch, smooth-rolling wheels, convenient cord wrap, and lightweight construction for simple transport up and down stairs and from room to room. Plus, there are no expensive replacement bags to buy. Simply press down on the release button to detach the removable dust cup and empty contents into the trash bin. The upright stick vacuum cleaner measures approximately 7 by 11 by 45 inches.
