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 [...]
My Hoover Nano Light vacuum review: The Hoover Nano Light vacuum is a compact, bagless machine. It weighs around 12 lbs, yet manages to pack some pretty powerful suction. I’m not a big fan of the design - I think it looks pretty cheap. However, at just $57 that’s about all one could expect. It [...]
My brief Shark Navigator vacuum review: A lot of folks probably first heard about the Shark Navigator vacuum through a TV infomercial. Normally, I think infomercial products are more hype than great products - but, in this case I think the Navigator is living up to the hype.
At just 15 pounds, this vacuum is easy [...]
My Hoover Whisper vacuum review: The Hoover Whisper cyclonic upright vacuum cleaner seems like a hidden gem to me. It’s a bagless model, with Hoover’s patented multi-stage cyclonic technology. It also has very powerful suction, carpet height adjustments, a HEPA filtration system & is a little quieter than competitors. One of the great things about [...]
My short Garry vacuum review: The Garry vacuum cleaner is basically an “as seen on tv” product, not sold in retail stores. In some ways it reminds me of Oreck, and actually that is who they are directly trying to compete with. It’s fairly light weight, at just 9 lbs - so it should be [...]
A hypo-allergenic vacuum cleaner is one which removes dust & allergen particles from your floors, while keeping the suctioned particles from escaping the vacuum. Bagged hypo-allergenic vacuum cleaners do especially well at keeping those particles inside, although there are a few bagless models available. Most newer units will come with a HEPA filter. This filter [...]
My Eureka Pet Pal Bagless vacuum review: The Eureka Pet Pal Bagless vacuum cleaner is obviously meant to pick up pet hair. It actually does quite well at that task, and the roller hand attachment works especially well for this. It’s also nice to have a bagless style vacuum if you have a lot of [...]
The Electrolux Versatility Bagless vacuum cleaner is often compared to Dyson.

It’s very sturdy and made of thick plastic material, plus it is very stylish. [...]
The Eureka Capture Pet Lover HEPA vacuum cleaner has a very powerful suction, which works especially well on carpets. For how well it does on carpets, it unfortunately doesn’t do too well on bare or hardwood floors. It’s nice and easy to assemble, if you’re getting it new out of the box. Just 4 screws and you’re [...]
Miele Powerhouse vacuum cleaners are some of the most powerful HEPA filter vacuums available today. There are three main models of the Miele Powerhouse currently for sale, which I’ll run through the details of below. They are all upright vacuum cleaners, and run from the basic to luxury models.

Most Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition vacuum reviews are generally favorable.

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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
A Dyson DC24 vacuum review states: “The Dyson DC24 vacuum cleaner is one of those gadgets you just can’t wait to play with, even though it’s used for menial work. It just looks really cool.

An Oreck Halo UV-C Light vacuum review states: “The Oreck Halo UV-C light vacuum cleaner is a good mix of new technology and some good old-fashioned Oreck design.

A Eureka 439AZ Optima Pet Lover vacuum review states: “The Eureka 439AZ Optima vacuum cleaner does a pretty good job at picking up pet hair - which is what it’s supposed to do, I guess. I wouldn’t say it’s the best suction I’ve ever seen, but it does do a good job for being a [...]
An Electrolux Intensity 5020a vacuum review states: “The Electrolux Intensity 5020a is like no other vacuum cleaner available. It’s design is very unique, with an adjustable handle.

A review of the Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 lightweight vacuum cleaner states: “The Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 is a good all-around vacuum.

A user’s Eureka Boss Smart-Vac 4870MZ vacuum review says: “The Eureka Boss Smart-Vac 4870MZ is probably the best budget vacuum you will find. It costs around $150, so it’s not super cheap.
