Kirby Sentria Review
Unfortunately, the Sentria vacuum has a few issues that most buyers generally agree on. The loudness of this machine is definitely one of the top complaints. Also, a lot of owners find it a bit bulky and hard to push around. It really isn’t a light-weight model, so keep this in mind before you buy it. One other thing I have to mention are the sales tactics of the Kirby company - they are pushy. I know it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual Kirby Sentria vacuum, but the multi-hour presentation can certainly rub some potential buyers the wrong way.
So, is the Sentria worth the money? While I love the suction and tools this vacuum comes with, I really think most customers could find a similar alternative for about half the price. On that note, I am giving the Kirby Sentria a 3/5 star rating.
If you’ve got an Oreck vacuum, chances are you’ll eventually need some parts - preferably some discount Oreck parts. Well, you know if you go to their main website, you won’t find a lot of great deals - however they do have decent guarantees on a lot of products, which is worth something.
The Eureka Clean Living 3281AZ vacuum is an exclusive model for Walmart customers. It’s marketed as an allergy-reducing vacuum cleaner, and it actually delivers quite nicely on that claim. It comes with a HEPA filter, which captures nearly all allergy and dust particles floating around your house. The On-Guard antimicrobial dust cup is a nice feature, keeping the dust from scattering around when you are emptying the cup. The brush roll also has antimicrobial bristles, which is supposed to help eliminate odors. The Eureka Clean Living vacuum’s on-board tools are easy to get to and use, although there are only a couple. It also has a height adjusting handle, which is great for short and tall alike.
If you’ve just installed frieze carpet in your house, you’ll definitely want to find the best vacuum for your new frieze carpet. As you know, the threads on this type of carpet are usually a little longer than a lot of alternative carpeting options. It looks great, but can be a pain to clean if you don’t have the right equipment. Well, I’ve researched many different vacuum models, and have come up with two models that should work great for your new frieze carpet.

My short Bissell ProLite review: At just $150, the Bissell ProLite vacuum cleaner is a bargain. The 12 amp motor gives it sufficient suction for even the thickest carpets. The vacuum is fairly lightweight, but I probably wouldn’t want to carry it up and down stairs too much. The long cord and useful attachments are definitely a bonus with this model. I also must admit, it seems a lot more stylish than competitor vacuums or even other Bissell models. Oh, and the canister is very easy to empty, without being to messy.
My short Bissell PowerForce vacuum review: The Bissell PowerForce vacuum (6585 model) is well under $100, yet provides a lot of features normally only found on higher end machines. The on-board tools work great for cleaning up hard-to-reach areas. It also has 5 height adjustments (for use on carpet or bare floors), a 30 foot cord, deluxe stretch hose and HEPA filtration system. A lot of pet owners are saying how well it works at sucking up pet hair. So, you can see what I mean by having more features than a normal $65 vacuum cleaner might have.
There are a lot of Dirt Devil Easy Lite reviews out there, and I’ve noticed that the vast majority of them are positive. For the most part, I would tend to agree with them. I think the Dirt Devil Easy Lite canister vacuum is a bargain at just $90. It’s not the best canister vacuum out there, but it’s hard to beat at that price.
Finding the best vacuum sweeper wasn’t easy, I have to admit. There seem to be a fair amount of vacuum sweepers available, but a lot of them are just plain junk. I did find two different models which I think are worth purchasing. They both have their good and bad qualities, but in general they do a good job at picking up light dirt around the house. Below are my two top vacuum sweeper picks.
The best vacuum for tile floors is most often the vacuum that works great on all hard flooring types. However, not all vacuums are created equally. In fact, you may have a machine that works just wonderfully on carpet, but scatters the dirt around on bare floors and tile floors.
The Dyson DC23 Motorhead is a compact canister vacuum. Actually, the Dyson DC23 Motorhead looks very similar to the DC22 I just reviewed - although, this model is powered by the Level 3 Root Cyclone system instead of the digital motor. It’s still a good system, but probably not quite as powerful nor does it have as much “cool” factor. A few features you’ll find on this vacuum cleaner are: a motorized brush bar (great for picking up pet hair), HEPA filter, a hose and wand that wrap around the vacuum, easy to empty canister, and a slew of additional wand fittings.
My Dyson DC22 Turbinehead review: Powered by a digital motor, the Dyson DC22 Turbinehead vacuum is one good looking machine. Since it’s a canister vacuum, it is actually about 1/3 the size of a normal upright Dyson. But don’t mistake smaller for cheaper - it costs around $650-$700, which is more than any current upright model. I really like the filtration system on this model, it’s basically HEPA grade. I also love how small this vacuum is, making it really easy to stick in a small closet. And, like all Dyson’s, the suction is amazing and it’s bagless.
The Electrolux QuietClean PU3900 central vacuum system which claims to remove 100% of dirt, dust and allergy causing particles. The Electrolux QuietClean PU3900 is also, as the name suggests, very quiet. It actually reduces the noise level to less than a dishwasher’s. Another really neat feature on this model is the permanent HEPA filter. It basically cleans itself after every usage - which sure beats buying new filters every couple months. Oh, and when the vacuum needs emptying, it will actually tell you on the LCD screen.
