Like I mentioned before, the suction is wonderful, but it really tapers off when you put on the attachments. This is a little disappointing, since there are a lot of good attachments included. Also, the beater brush isn’t great on certain carpet heights. Sometimes it even stops turning. I wouldn’t say this is the best vacuum for cleaning up pet hair on carpets, but if you have bare floors this thing works like none other. The Black & Decker VN1400P Retriever canister vacuum cleaner is unfortunately lacking in some key areas, but overall is a good little machine.”

I have loved bagless vacuums ever since Dyson came out with theirs, and I think this new unit from Dirt Devil does just as good a job as most high-end machines. The Dirt Devil i upright vacuum cleaner’s dirt canister is so easy to change, and the filters are easy to clean and wash as well. The only thing I would change is the hose length. It’s just a tad too short for me. I’ve read some vacuum ratings where they complain about the price. It’s a little more than your “average” vacuum, but there’s a reason for that - it’s better than most. I definitely recommend it.”

I do like this vacuum, but I definitely wouldn’t say it’s perfect. The first thing I have an issue with is how well it’s made. I haven’t had any problems with it yet, but you can tell a difference in construction quality if you have a more expensive machine. The Panasonic MC-UG383 lightweight vacuum cleaner also has a 25 ft cord - not really a problem, but I’m more used to a 30 ft one in my last cleaner. The last little gripe is about the look of the vacuum. It’s sky blue in color and doesn’t have the prettiest design to say the least. I guess my complaints are pretty minor. This unit is actually a very good buy, especially if you get it for under $100.”

A vacuum cleaner review of the Bissell Versus Bare Floor vacuum states: “The Bissell Versus Bare Floor vacuum cleaner has really great suction. The first time I used it, I was really surprised considering it’s battery powered. It feels very solidly built as well, which is wonderful considering how cheap it is. The design is pretty unique, with a “V” shaped bottom. It does work pretty well in corners and in other small places though. The hose attachment is also very useful - making this vacuum feel more like a regular upright.

Since the Bissell Versus Bare Floor vacuum cleaner has a unique design, it also takes some getting used to. This doesn’t affect the suction, it’s just a little strange at first. The “V” design actually helps draw dirt into it’s path. The dirt container is pretty small, but it’s easy to empty. I guess you can’t expect a huge container on this small vacuum. Other than those minor issues, I absolutely love it.”

A vacuum cleaner review of the Hoover Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright with Canister vacuum cleaner states: “The Hoover Platinum bagged upright canister vacuum (UH30010COM) is simply the best. I can’t get over the auto carpet height adjuster, it’s such a neat feature. I really only like quality built vacuums, and this is definitely one of them. It really light, yet feels very sturdy in the hands. You can tell the difference if you pick up one of the cheaper competitor vacuums. The canister works great for all upholstery, couch and other tight places.

Although I can’t say enough positive about this vacuum cleaner, I also have a couple things I don’t really like. First is the price. It’s pretty expensive (but still worth it), at around $400. Next is that it doesn’t have an on-off switch for the brush roller. This is fine if you have only carpets, but if you have some bare floors, it can get annoying. Lastly are the bags. They aren’t exactly cheap, at around $5 a pop. All that aside, I haven’t had a vacuum I love this much - ever. The Hoover Platinum lightweight bagged upright canister vacuum cleaner is definitely recommendable.”

A Kirby Sentria vacuum review states: “The Kirby Sentria vacuum cleaner works like none other. It’s absolutely the best, that is if you can afford the steep price. But, in this case it is worth every penny. You can buy it cheaper online than if you have a sales person show up at your door (try Amazon). Plus, there are a fair amount of people selling them slightly used.

The suction on the Kirby Sentria vacuum (G10) is amazing. The auto drive feature is great, you almost don’t even have to push the machine to move it along carpets. I really love the attachments that come with it. It’s pretty much like an all-in-one upright, canister, stick & carpet cleaner. Although, the carpet cleaning part isn’t the best I’ve seen.

One thing I don’t like is how heavy it is. It’s hard to drag up and down stairs, or even all over the house. Also, if you don’t want to use it as an upright, you’ll have to take off the front peice and latch the attachments to the hose. It’s kind of a pain to do. The Kirby Sentria vacuum is definitely worth the money, and should last a very long time.”

A vacuum cleaner review of the Shop-Vac EasyLift Upright says: “The Shop-Vac EasyLift Upright vacuum cleaner opens up a new market to the one time garage-only company. This machine is made to be used indoors, for dry pickup only. The design most resembles an Oreck, which is relatively uninteresting. It is made to be used on both bare floors and carpets. After using it a while, I can’t say it has the best suction I’ve ever seen, but it’s not bad either. I do like the 30 ft cord, which allows me to stretch out pretty far.

The main thing I don’t like about this vacuum cleaner is the noise level. I should have guessed it would be loud, since I know most other Shop-Vac’s are that way. Like I said before, the suction isn’t as good as some other machines I’ve used. However, since the Shop-Vac EasyLift Upright vacuum is supposed to be an Oreck competitor, I think it does compare relatively well. And, it’s a fair amount cheaper as well, at around $150. So, I think it’s worth recommending, but not raving about.”

A Kenmore 27514 Blue Canister vacuum cleaner review states: “The Kenmore 27514 Blue Canister vacuum cleaner works perfectly for my house. I have a pretty wide open floor plan with hardwood and carpet. It easily reaches everything with it’s long cord, plus you can use the attachments to clean up the upholstery, the blinds and cob-webs on the ceiling. The switch in the handle makes it even more convenient to use and switch attachments. It’s also fairly  lightweight, so it’s not a problem to bring it upstairs if you need to. I also really like the electronic performance indicator, which tells you when you need to change the back or check for blockages.

Even though I love my Kenmore 27514 Blue Canister vacuum, I know a lot of other reviews I’ve read do not like it. They mention that it seems a little cheap (as far as the plastic goes), and even have wheels breaking. I haven’t had it long enough to see that happen, and hopefully it never will. So far, I’m very pleased with the way it’s worked and the suction is wonderful. It picks up pet hair quite well. I’d give it an even higher rating if it didn’t cost quite so much. But, I can’t complain too much, because most good vacuums cost this much.”

A Bissell Powergroom Pet vacuum cleaner review says: “The Bissell Powergroom Pet 4104 vacuum cleaner is a good buy if you don’t have pets, and a great buy if you do. It’s a nice bagless vacuum, which I prefer. Also, it comes with 3 additional tools: the pet turbobrush, crevice tool and contour tool. The cord is long enough to stretch across an entire room with ease. The hose is long enough to get most of the stairs without moving the vacuum up. I would say it does best on carpets, but it can also clean up bare floors alright.

The Bissell Powergroom Pet vacuum cleaner only costs around $170. I think it’s a great buy for the price, but if it were much more I don’t think I would have gotten it. It sucks up pet hair and other dirt just fine, but the suction definitely doesn’t compare to a Dyson or high-end Hoover. I like how Bissell made the belts & dirt container easy to change. Overall, I’d recommend this vacuum.”

A vacuum review of the Hoover UH70015 Cyclonic Bagless Upright vacuum cleaner says: “The Hoover UH70015 Cyclonic Bagless Upright (Platinum Collection) works better than I would have ever dreamed. The Windtunnel technology is great and picks up dog hair with ease. Plus, it sucks up all sorts of dirt and debris with no problems either. I used to own a Dyson, and I think this works at least as good if not better. The brush works really well too, which is probably because of the suction power this machine has.

I don’t really have many complaints about this vacuum cleaner yet. Maybe I will later on, but I’m not really worried, since there is a long 6 year warranty that’s included. I guess the one downside I have to mention is the price. It’s not cheap, at around $450. However, you get what you pay for - and this one is definitely worth the money. The Hoover UH70015 Cyclonic Bagless vacuum cleaner is a good option for those of you looking for a Dyson alternative, that actually works.”

A vacuum review of the iRobot Roomba 532 Pet Series states: “The iRobot Roomba 532 Pet Series vacuum cleaner is wonderful for busy people like myself. You can come home to a nice clean house after work. It picks up pet hair wonderfully, and does a great job on both carpet and bare floors. The debris bin is pretty large on this vacuum, which is a huge plus if you’re house is pretty dirty. Of course, it’s also great that it can go under most of my furniture.

It does require some maintence, especially if you have a lot of pet hair to pick up. This can get a little annoying. Also, it can be a little noisy - but not bad compared to other vacuum cleaners. I’ve also had it get stuck on random stuff on the floor. The key is to leave the floor as free of cords and random objects as you can. Otherwise, the iRobot Roomba 532 Pet Series vacuum cleaner is great.”

A Shark VX3 Sweeper vacuum review states: “The Shark VX3 sweeper vacuum cleaner is very lightweight, as advertised. It also has great mobility, allowing you to go lots of small areas quite easily. The tray is not too hard to empty, so that is a plus.

Now, a couple negative things about the vacuum. It’s overpriced, in my opinion. They allow you to make 4 easy payments, but this adds up to be quite a big chunk of money for a little sweeper. I would also say it doesn’t have the power they claim it to have. It picks up some small stuff, but it’s certainly no powerhouse. Lastly, the battery life is much shorter than 90 minutes. They claim the Shark VX3 sweeper vacuum cleaner can last up to 90 mintues, but I’ve never been that lucky. It would be a decent buy, if you can get it for half price.”

A vacuum cleaner review of the Eureka Boss 4D Pet Fresh vacuum says: “The Eureka Boss 4D Pet Fresh is bagless, which I love. However, you’ll still have to clean out the canister a couple times if you are cleaning a larger house. I guess that’s fine, since you know it’s suction must be top notch. I don’t think the construction of the vacuum is that great though. It really starts to wear down after a couple of weeks. The belts seem to break pretty easily, at least they do for me.

Other vacuum ratings of the Eureka Boss 4D Pet Fresh seem to like it. So, I’m not sure if I got a bum unit or what. My guess is that they just haven’t used it long enough. One thing I think it does pretty well is pick up pet hair, which is what the name suggests it will do. But overall, I’d say it isn’t worth the money. If you could get it for $50-$75, then I would say it would be a good deal. So far, I’m not impressed though.”

The Miele S7 upright vacuum cleaner series is all about convenience. With the Miele S7 upright vacuum cleaner’s SwivelNeck patent, you can move the neck part of the machine all around. You can move it side to side, and backwards to forwards. It’s actually a handy little feature that lets you reach some otherwise hard-to-get areas. The 12 foot hose is also quite handy for blinds and upholstery.

There are two different models to choose from in this series. The Miele S7280 vacuum cleaner is the more basic model and comes in three different colors: Jazz, Salsa and Calypso. The Miele S7580 vacuum cleaner is the upgraded version, which comes in: Bolero, Tango and Swing. The main differences between the two models are that the S75280 series have automatic motor settings which detect the type of surface being cleaned and they also have electronic controls.

Judging by the Miele S7 upright vacuum cleaner reviews from the experts, this machine is capable of some pretty powerful suction and is worth the money. And that’s saying a lot, since the current costs are around $800-$900, which is certainly not cheap. The design is different, but you’ll find it very beneficial to have the SwivelNeck style once you get used to it.
