Vacuum Hero – Miele’s White Star s314i (with apologies to Foreigner) - Miele S314 Bagged Canister Vacuum

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low

Couldn’t get the Eureka to work no mo”

Heard the roar of the spouse, he could picture the scene

All the dirt on the rug, then like a distant scream

He heard one Meile, just blew him away

White Stars in his eyes, and the very next day

Bought a Meile White Star in the appliance store

Didn’t know how to work it, but he knew for sure

That one vacuum, felt good in his hands

Didn’t take long, to understand

Just one White Star, slung way down low

Was a one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started sweepin” ain’t never gonna stop

Gotta keep on sweepin’

Someday he’s gonna make it to the top!

Good but not great - iRobot DVU00008 Robotic Vacuum

After it became apparent my old vacuum would soon die I started shopping for a new one. I bought a Roomba from Costco about a year ago and paid around $250 for it. Sorry, memory is a little fuzzy.

The first unit I bought stopped detecting stairs after a month but its replacement has been just fine. It does a decent job of cleaning but not as good as I could do with a regular vacuum. Of course I hate vacuuming so I’m ok with that. Think of it like having the neighbor’s teenager vacuuming your house for free.

awesome machine! - iRobot Pro Elite Bagless Robotic Vacuum

My husband and I went to a function which gave out prizes. I won one of those roomba machines and even though I was skeptical about this little item’s ability to clean, I gave it a try.

I have 2 cats, a dog and a parrot. I am forever cleaning up fur and feather mess so I was pleasently surprised when I placed my roomba on the floor and turned it on. I left for work and came home to a clean floor!

Super suction!!!! - Hoover V2 U8130-900 WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum

Just went and bought this new vacuum….WOW!!!!! It really picks up the dirt. You don’t realize you have a lousy vacuum until you buy a vacuum that when you turn it on it pulls cobwebs out of the corners…kidding, but the suction is superb!!! I like the fact that when you put the handle in the upright position that the roller stops turning. The attachments have the same amount of suction power that the vacuum itself does, AND they don’t fall off because they are neatly tucked in their own little compartment. I have 2 dogs that shed like mad, and boy…this vacuum picks up the hair…on carpet…and on hard floors!! No more “hair bunnies” floating carelessly around on my floors anymore, I highly recommend this vacuum. It is a little pricey…but ‘you get what you pay for’. The canister is relatively easy to dump…no more bags for me (except under my eyes from staying up to vacuum all night).

This is my second Oreck Vacuum. - Oreck XL Deluxe U3700 Bagged Upright Vacuum

I had the first one for the last 12 years, and although it was still going strong, I just wanted a newer one with the newer, hypoallergenic technology. The old one is going to be used in the basement and I will use the new one in the rest of the house.

Cool Lightweight Vacuum - Electrolux EL1000A2 Pronto Bagless Stick Cyclonic Vacuum

I read the reviews on this product and some other rechargeable vacuums and, with a leap of faith, picked this one. It arrived a couple of weeks ago and we are very pleased. We keep it downstairs (high traffic areas)where we have hardwood floors in kitchens & formal rooms and low pile carpet in our TV & play rooms. Our old Eureka rechargeable worked well for a while but was getting tired and it upset us when the wall mount base/charger tore out of the wall (leaving unsightly holes) after the repeated removal and replacing of the vacuum.

Suck it up! - Dyson DC17 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Got it for my new house!

I bought this Dyson DC17 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum about a year ago when i was planning on moving into my new house! I have not had any problems with it yet and i use it everyday! It works great! Still!

IT really works

This vacuum does not have bags! It has a cute little bucket that you pull out and dump into the trash! It is so easy to change! I think that because it has no bags thats why i like it so much! The sucksion on this vacume is just wonderful! I have used it on new and old carpet and it works great for both!

Clean carpets once again! - Bissell 1698-1 PowerSteamer ProHeat Plus Upright Vacuum

I cannot believe what we found in our carpets that was naked

to the human eye..oh my!

We just bought the Powersteamer ProHeat Plus Heated Solution Deep Cleaner 1698-1 at Best Buy for $229 on sale. We needed a steam cleaner

in our new home since we have a dog that sheds alot! We felt

after 2 years it was time to really deep clean our carpets and

instead of renting a steam cleaner every couple of months,

we would buy the best one on the market.

Worth the Price? Yes. - Dyson DC11 Allergy Bagless Canister Cyclonic Vacuum

If you’re reading this review, then you’re curious about the Dyson mystique and their excellent marketing and branding, but more importantly wondering if Dyson’s vacuums are really worth the premium price. Let’s face it, very few people can consider or afford to pay over $500 for a vacuum cleaner, and decent HEPA vacuum can be found at any mass merchant these days for between $125-150. So what makes the Dyson so special?
