Electrolux EL 7055A Twin Clean Bagless Canister Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Until I purchased this! This nifty little vacuum achieves what no other vacuum can. It's powerful and robust yet light to handle. I was thinking about buying a Dyson, but they are so heavy to push around and I needed a flexible power head that can reach under furniture. The power head lays almost completely flat and slides easily under beds, sofa's and other furniture. All of the components are tough yet light. The hose is excellent and the telescopic part is made from aluminum, it's very solid.
It comes with a crevice tool and a dusting brush which are located on the hose handle and a separate well made hard floor brush that has real bristles and wheels, and an upholstery brush. The fact that I don't have to pick fluff and dust off the filter is a real plus, the bagless models are usually so annoying for that reason. This vacuum cleans its own filter with a simple maneuver.
The controls are located on the hose handle and are push buttons not switches, there are 3, the on/off, bare floor/carpet and suction control of which there are 2 levels. There are two lighted (a cool neon blue!) indicators on the canister for suction level and filter cleaning.
It is very easy to lift off the dust container and you press a lever to empty it out. I found it better to do this without shaking or tapping the dust out too much as it can cloud out all over the container if you are not careful, I then just dusted the lid and body with a swifer duster to clean up the fine dust.
I was quite shocked at what the cleaner picked up, it seemed to remove dirt that was really embedded in my medium pile carpet and I had been vacuuming regularly with my Kenmoore.
The only problem I have is that the power head is noisy, but I can forgive that because it works hard. The canister itself is not noisy when you switch to bare floor it is quieter than average. Also, I am not sure that the power head picks up that well on the bare floor option, I got a better result using the bare floor brush.
All round a super stylish high tech piece of Swedish engineering. It is expensive, but you are buying the Rolls Royce of vacuum cleaners.

Bosch Formula Electro Duo Plus Hepa Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I do heavy research on everything I buy. Here are my thoughts on buying this canister vacuum: Impressions
The Bosch Formula BSG71370UC is amazing: high performance, solid construction, convenient design. Small/light enough to be portable, but large enough to have built in attachment storage and a high capacity bag system. Suction power is adjustable, providing two things. First, full power is to powerful for some surfaces (there are warnings in the manual). Second, running at normal/low power, the unit is quieter than a microwave oven and you think its not pulling well until you put your hand over the hose - yeow! First impression of the first use on carpet that got regularly vacuumed: "wow, its looks like its been washed!" Attachments
This is the top of the formula line, including the turbo upholstery attachment. This draws energy from the airflow on the suction and transfers it to a scrubbing brush, with the sound of a turbo charger. This and all the attachments work like gang busters. The main carpet wand has a switch for turning the large scrubber's electric motor on/off (carpet/floors), and the suction with the crevice tool is so strong, nothing gets away. Even with the integrated motor, the head of this unit is low profile enough to fit in and around most furniture. The cord auto retracts, just give it a tug and let go. You can pull the canister itself behind you, the 3-360 wheels turn on a dime, but getting around objects still requires pull. With cleaning power combined with multiple filters, this is ideal for people with allergies. Floors
It handles bare floors mightily, just flip the handle located power switch to off to stop the spinning brush. For complete area cleaning, the small brush attachment hits the baseboards and low walls. The units wheels, of course, handle even better. Hair
My main use for this and the reason I bought this unit is cat hair, a job it handles well. With 2 sizes of scrubbing nozzles, no unattached hair can hide for long. Parts
In the configuration for full carpet/floors, it comes apart in 3 sections, hose, tube/handle, and powered nozzle. All 3 require both hands to disconnect, one to squeeze the release mechanism and the other to pull. One of the extra's on this unit is that the power wires for the motorized head are integrated into the tubes/hoses. This makes for quick dis/connects. Negatives
1) The hose is supposed to spin 360 degrees to avoid tangles but doesn't spin freely enough to work without thought. 2) I like responsive switches. The power switch has a lag time, designed to be used by feet so you have to hold a moment to turn it on and off. 3) Price is high, but abcvacuum.com cuts right through this. Surprise Use
Dust Buster replacement: Leaving it parked and plugged in, full time behind the sofa my cat frequents. Its so quiet on low, the bits moving down the pipe make more noise than the motor. Long Term Update
Having it for many months now, here's what else I've learned. The bag full gauge is tough to read, so the easiest way to tell the bag needs changing is that suction goes down - ie when you find yourself using full power. The turbo attachment isn't much more powerful than the standard small nozzle nor as powerful as the electric nozzle. So provided its clean, the floor/carpet electric nozzle cleans upholstery with gusto, leaving the turbo nozzle doing just the hard to reach places. And last but not least, a WONDERFUL way to clean stairs is by connecting the electric power floor/carpet nozzle directly to the wand, leaving the extension tube off. Alternatives
The rule with canister vacs is dexterity, the rule with uprights is mobility. This is my favorite canister, the Eureka Sanitaire SC6600 is my favorite upright:
http://www.epinions.com/pr-Eureka_Sanitaire_SC6600A_Upright_Vacuum
Both do carpets + floors + elevated/hose suction. Decide for yourself which is more important. Canister = superior clean, upright = superior speed. The Sanitaire SC6600 is better for on-the-go use, with a 3 stage power switch with off/suction/suction scrub. The second position is for floors and if you're in the third (doing carpets) and pull out the hose for spot cleaning, it automatically switches to the second and then back again when you reinsert.
Sanitaire (eureka) also makes a canister thats worth looking at but with which I have no personal experience. Oddly, its sold under their commercial brand so its hard to find:

Pro-Team Super QuarterVac HEPA Backpack Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I moved into a new two-story home 3 months ago. In our one story home we used a Kenmore brand upright which we still have and after 8 years of use it still works very well. Our dilemma is with the two story house and stairway. We went from a 2,400 sqft home to a 4,700 sqft home. Lugging the good old Kenmore up and down the stairs and covering all the nooks and crannies, including the stairway, is quite a workout. My wife and daughter rely on me to move the vac when it's time to clean.
So I sought out reviews on a backback vac, after all that's what the commercial cleaners use right. Consumer Reports only covers canisters and uprights and all other reviews covered commercial applications, so not a lot of homeowner info to go by. So what do you do? Make the plunge and hope it works.
Well after two cleanings we are VERY impressed! This think sucks and we can vacuum the house in half the time it takes with our upright. Besides carpet we have wood and tile floors plus a pet that, unfortunately, sheds. We can vacuum quicker than using a broom and dustpan. This thing is great and as quite (by vacuum standards) as our Kenmore. We have stressed wood floors, ceramic and natural stone tiled floors along with looped carpeting. I suggest getting the optional wood floor 14" attachment and the floor duster (has a cloth mitt) for wood shutters or blinds... yes it cleans them as well.
A little cumbersome at first getting this to fit on your back but once you're set tell people to get out of your way... you will be done in no time! By the way most of our neighbors use cleaning services. We're cheap and prefer to do it ourselves at our convenience. That's how we justified the cost.

Deluxe Pet Tool Animal Mini Turbo Head tool for standard vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This attaches to the vacuum hose attachment just fine (i.e., no loss of suction), but there isn't enough power there to keep the roller going. I bought this to use with rugs and on the couch. For the couch it's OK, but on rugs the roller will just stop turning unless you keep it moving. I got a different kind of brush (one by Eureka) and I don't have this same problem. I suspect that the roller unit is just too big so it doesn't maintain good suction. What I really want/need is a tool like this that is driven by a separate motor. i thought this would work and i'd do it on the cheap, but I got what I paid for, which is to say I got poor results.

SEBO Essential G1 9591AT Vacuum Cleaner 12" Cleaning Path Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. But this vacuum beats all the others hands down. I bought mine locally from a little place I've been going to for years: they carry (and repair) every kind of vacuum. I was all set to get the highly rated Hoover, but the guy showed me the SEBO Felix, and I decided to save my pennies until I could get it. And I was glad I did: this thing is awesome. Light and powerful. The brush bar has a clutch in it, so if you suck up a rag or something, the bar stops instead of burning up the belt. The belt has a LIFETIME WARRANTY. Attachments are simple and easy to swap. The suction level can be adjusted, for vacuuming curtains or other delicates. You can turn the beater bar on and off with a foot switch: hardly slow down when you hit bare floors. The parquet head makes a floor 'mop ready': it has a seal around it to prevent dirt from escaping.
Bags are expensive. But they have a built-in door to seal up the bag when it's full: no more carrying a dust-spewing bag out the door. Plus the Felix is designed to be used until the bag is FULL: there is a little window to indicate how full the bag is, and it lasts a lot longer than you'd think such a small bag would.
It's light enough to carry with one hand: the built-in handle(s) allow you to carry it like a canister for stairs and overhead work.
I know this is a gushing review, but this vacuum really is great. I took a couple of buddies to the local shop, and they were convinced too: we're all product engineers so we're picky about stuff. They walked out with new vacuums too!

Electrolux EL6984A Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Light and quiet, the Harmony really cleans hardwood floors and area rugs well. We don't have wall-to-wall, but from what I can tell, if you have lots of carpets I would recommend moving up to the Oxygen model. It does not come with a powered carpet attachment. Gotta work a bit to clean carpets - glides easily on hardwood. Stores in small places. Great design and easy to use; instructions are a bit weak. Overall happy, great in a small city house/apartment.

EL4101A%2D Black Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since I've spent the past 24 hours (or more) researching vacuums -- and bought two to try out at home, side by side -- I thought I should share my findings with the rest of you.
First off, my 23-year-old Hoover canister finally died on me a few weeks ago. I'd had the thing at the shop maybe once for some work, but other than that, it still worked like a charm til the very end. It had a self-propelling power head that roared like a elephant and scared small children and pets, but it but really sucked the dirt in its heyday. It was sort of scary on hardwood, but I made do. After all, it was practically a member of the family -- the same age as my oldest son.
So when it died, I knew it would be a hard act to follow. I knew I wanted a canister. To tell you the truth, what I like most are the long wands that I use to clean everything from ceiling fans to air vents to baseboards. The little attachment hoses on the uprights just didn't seem like they'd do the trick. I liked the idea of bagless, though I'd never tried one. The guy who cleans my carpet once a year recommended Dyson. After looking at Dysons, reading reviews and seeing the prices, I decided I didn't want to spend that kind of money.
In the end, I decided to test-drive two vacuums: the Electrolux 4101A Ergospace Green Canister ($149 at Costco) and the Hoover MultiCyclonic SH40060 ($149 at Target.) Both sounded great online, so I decided to buy them both, assemble them and do a side-by-side comparison.
Bottom line: The Electrolux, cute and "green" as it is, is going back. The Hoover is staying.
The Hoover isn't as well made as my 23-year-old dearly departed - that's obvious. But it seems far more solid than the Electrolux. I nearly broke the Electrolux simply trying to unsnap and resnap the filter compartment -- the plastic seems thin (yes, I know it's recycled) and flimsy. I can't imagine it holding up a year -- I'm not sure it will last a month. Same thing with the plastic hose, which also seems flimsy compared to the Hoover. Even the power nozzle-heads (two of them, which I can't imagine wanting to swap out very often) seem sort of cheap. On the plus side, the telescoping wand works very well and is nice and long, the 3-in-1 crevice tool is sort of ingenious once you figure it out (no help from the manual there!) and the motor has variable speeds, which is neat. Another negative: The hot air "exhaust" blows out straight up at you -- I felt like I was in a wind tunnel (a hot wind tunnel) if I got too near the canister.
The Hoover, on the other hand, snaps together neatly with lots of clever, well-designed little latches. The bagless design seems very easy to use, and economical. Two filters, both washable. The wand telescopes, not quite as smoothly as the Electrolux, but it's fine (much better than the two-part wand in my old Hoover.) The tools (just two and admittedly not great) store neatly in the rather heavy hose handle. The handle has to be heavy, I guess, because it contains the power switch - which is another big improvement over my old Hoover (and the Electrolux), where the power switch is in the canister, which may be some feet away away from you just when you want it most.
But in the end I wanted a vacuum that could clean. So I decided to run each through its paces on my hardwood floor. Fairly dirty and dusty, since as I said, my old Hoover died "a few weeks ago."
The Electrolux was first up. It wasn't bad, though the blowing hot air was a bit bothersome. It was quiet and it moved easily along the floor. It's lightweight and easy to pull. But there was one stubborn Christmas tree needle stuck in the baseboard that just wouldn't budge, even though I went over it again and again. Christmas tree needles are my litmus test.
So out comes the Hoover, to see what it can do. It's a bit heavy, but feels solid and sturdy in a reassuring way. It's much quieter than my old vacuum. I can actually carry on a conversation while I'm cleaning. I can hear the doorbell ring.
And when it gets to the Christmas tree needle -- wooooosh! Gone. Just like that.
What was I thinking? Momentarily swayed by a cute green bungee-cord (what's that for, anyway?) and the promise of being green and environmentally correct, I nearly forgot the most important rule of vacuum purchasing. A vacuum needs to vacuum well. I think the Hoover MultiCyclonic and I will have a beautiful life together. And it's sturdy little blue body is growing on me.

Miele S4 Series Lightweight Canister Vacuum Cleaners Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let me just say that prior to buying the Miele Antares, I owned a different ("low-end") Miele vacuum for 16 years. I ran it all the time, it was totally ahead of its time in terms of performance and style, and I never once serviced it.
However, after 16 years, it needed minor servicing, and though they told me at the shop that it still had some life left in it (the vacuum store told me that Miele motors are built to last for 20 years), I decided to trade in my old Miele and upgrade to the Antares. WOW! This unit is amazing. It's quiet, it's lighter, it has variable settings for suction power, and it's really powerful. I highly recommend investing in the add-on turbo brush ($100), especially if you have pets. (I hate to vacuum, but I do have pets, and the turbo brush literally scrubs the fur out of your carpet.)
But even if you own an old Miele, like my previous one, you could just buy the turbo brush and add it on--the Miele design is consistent enough that often the same components can be used for multiple models, covering a wide span of years (for example, the Antares uses exactly the same vacuum cleaner bags that my 16-year-old Miele used).
I recommend that you don't waste your time with vacuum cleaners that will only last 3-5 years. Read the user reviews online of other competing products that don't last nearly as long, and then buy a Miele.

Miele Olympus S2120 Canister Vacuum Cleaner with FiberteQ SBD350-3 Rug and Floor Tool w/ Free Shipping Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I underwent a long and arduous search for the best vacuum, and I finally found it. I read a ton of reviews and looked at lots of models, and am very happy with my choice. However, we've only had it for a few weeks, so perhaps I'll find fault later on, but for now, my husband and I are both thrilled with this vac. It's light, easy to maneuver and great on our hardwood floors and rugs. Even though there is no brush roller, it still works well on all our rugs, which are mostly orientals and some with a fairly thick pile. One caveat: Make sure you use the switch on the vac head to go from hardwood to carpet, or else it will make that terrible scraping sound another reviewer wrote about. Once you hit the switch it works fine, so I guess that person just didn't notice the switch. It's nice and quiet and also works well on cat hair. The only criticism I have is that the vent blower on top of the vac can blow dust a bit but that's only when you are holding it at odd angles, like on the stairs. Once I was aware of that, I was able to turn it to avoid the issue. The cord was long enough for me; didn't have that issue as others have. I love that it has a holder to keep the wand upright when you need to stop and move something-- you don't have to find something to lean it on. Overall, I'm VERY pleased!!!
NOTE: Amazon lists a suggestion to buy vac bags at the same time, but it listed the wrong kind of bag. This machine takes G/N bags and not the other kind as was listed.

Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We finally made the plunge and converted from carpet to hardwood floors. So naturally we needed new equipment for cleaning floors. Growing up, my parents always had Electrolux vacuum cleaners, the cylindrical (heavy!) bag types, and they seemed to work forever! We went looking around to all the dept stores and home improvement places, read some reviews (on Amazon) and decided that this model would be very nice. We didn't actually try it out at the stores, but checked the features, build quality and sturdiness.
All seemed good, and we ordered one on Amazon.
As is usually the case, the items arrived quickly and in very good shape.
Having run this unit through its paces several times now, I can say that it lives up to our expectations and needs extremely well!
It is light (a very big plus for my spouse), maneuverable and QUIET.....The slider control for the motor speed (and therefore suction level)is very convenient and smooth. We like the bag approach as well as the HEPA filter. Some people may feel the bag is a hassle to have to replace - Having had to empty out the old upright bagless canister, I can safely say that the bag is MUCH better. You don't have to deal with the dust, smell and stuff in the canister!
The self winding cord is also very smooth and sufficiently long to give good range for vacuuming.
It has the usual complement of attachments to get in small out of the way places and to vacuum furniture. The tube can be adjusted to any length which is nice.
I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers are trying to pick up but for hardwood or tiles floors and even (low pile rugs)this little "egg" works just fine and efficiently picks up dust, hair, pet dander, etc....
Bottom line: I recommend this vacuum cleaner.

Combining an eco-friendly design with user-friendly features, this canister vacuum cleaner makes it easy to keep the home clean, from top to bottom. The portable unit maneuvers smoothly from room to room on two large wheels, and it transitions effortlessly from carpets and rugs to bare-floor surfaces like tile, linoleum, or hard wood. Simply slide the lever on the carpet/hard-floor nozzle into position--from "normal" to "brush". For above-floor cleaning, the vacuum provides an array of on-board attachments including a telescopic tube, a hose and hose handle, a crevice tool, and a combination nozzle/brush for curtains, bookshelves, frames, and more. Other highlights include a high-efficiency motor, low noise output of only 60 DBA, a replaceable motor filter, and a bag-full indicator, as well as a foot-activated on/off button, a carrying handle, and adjustable suction power (offers suction control on the vacuum cleaner and on the hose handle). When finished, a foot pedal rewinds the cord into the unit for compact storage. A dust bag (s-bag) comes included. Designed with a healthier planet in mind, the vacuum cleaner's construction features 55-percent plastic from recycled materials, plus 80-percent of its packaging comes from recycled unbleached cardboard. The vacuum cleaner measures approximately 12-1/2 by 11 by 14 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

Carpet Pro Cpu-1t Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Had a vacuum for years that I was happy with. When it finally quit working, I attempted to replace it with the same. I could only get the newer version. Big mistake. From the first use I hated everything about it but because of the $ investment, I suffered for another 5 years. Hooray! It finally broke. I researched for 2 weeks,in an attempt to avoid similar problems. Based on my personal needs, I came across this. How many ways can I say that I love it? It's simple, straight forward,uncomplicated. It has a very bright headlight. Good. It's easy to push around. Another good.Goes from carpet to throw rug with ease and no gaps. More good. And here's the cincher, for me: it easily picks up all dog hair. I have 3 dogs and lots of hair. No longer a problem. I love this vacuum so much that I make people vacuum my house so that they can experience it. Rather than think that I'm weird, they are anxious to solve their own vacuum problems and readily take me up on the opportunity. So far, most have been convinced. One person wanted all the bells and whistles. For me, quality wins out every time and this is truly quality.
