Hoover U8371-900 WindTunnel 2 Complete Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

If your living environment is in the country with exposure to dirt, mud, animal hair & normal household dirt or dust, this vacuum is not for you! This machine is poorly designed & does not perform as advertised. Suction is so great it pulls dirt, debris & hair up through the collar cone filter & directly into the sealed HEPA chamber. Once the chamber plugs full of debris, the vacuum looses all suction & ability to clean. There are only two options for cleaning the chamber, once obstructed - take it to an authorized shop or dismantel the machine yourself. No one wants a vacuum that must be 'repaired' after minimal use, or one that must be repaired after every use. It clogged up before I could complete two rooms & although the initial obstruction was cleared, the unit now plugs up before finishing one room. Hoover appears to have no desire to fix the design flaw or make it right with anyone who foolishly spent money buying this product - Hoover will not accept a return, or provide an exchange to another vacuum in their product line. A word of advice I received from the authorized service shop that repaired (cleaned) the vacuum - this type of problem seems common with Hoover bagless models, especially the new windtunnel 2; don't buy anything but a bagged Hoover product.

Ideal for cleaning carpets, this 12 amp bagless upright vacuum cleaner features patented WindTunnel 2 technology, located in the floor nozzle, which forces the rotating brushes and airflow to work in harmony. It lifts and traps the dirt, preventing it from scattering, so dirt ends up in the cleaner, not on the floor. The unit's Embedded DirtFinder display alerts users to areas of the carpet that may need more cleaning attention, while its edge-cleaning abilities help remove dust, dirt, and lint that collect along baseboards. Even more, moving from carpets to hard-floor surfaces becomes effortless thanks to the unit's Surface Command electronic carpet-height adjustment. Simply turn the dial for the desired setting.
When in the upright position, the vacuum automatically shuts off the brush, focusing all the power into the hose. Its Real-Time tool system makes tool use easy with a handle that instantly converts to a telescopic wand and a Tag-Along grip to guide the cleaner. The telescoping quick-release wand and super-stretch hose combine for 12 feet of cleaning reach. On-board tools include a hard-floor brush to safely clean hard surfaces and a pet-hair tool with powerful suction and rotating brushes for stairs and upholstery. For added convenience, the unit's self-cleaning HEPA filter traps 100-percent of dust mites, ragweed, and common grass pollens, plus it cleans itself every six seconds to maintain cleaning power--no need to ever touch or replace the filter. Other highlights include soft wheels, a 14-inch cleaning path, a brilliant headlight to illuminate dark corners, adjustable handle height, a 31-foot power cord, a bottom-release dirt cup, and a lifetime belt. The vacuum cleaner measures 11 by 15 by 44 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Kirby Sentria Upright Vacuum Review

I bought my Kirby about 4 years ago, and it was a LOT of money. The salesman, who was in my house for 4+ hours and would not leave, convinced me that it was superior. It IS a decent vacuum, but I actually find myself using it less than I used my previous vacuum because it is such a pain to use. It is heavy and cumbersome and if you want to use the hose to edge clean, vacuum upholstery, or to clean in tight spots, you have to take the entire head off and attach a hose before you can do that. It is not quick, or convenient. Plus there is the inconvenience having to buy and deal with vacuum bags again. The Kirby salesman convinced me to give him my old vacuum and my very nice Bissell carpet shampooer as a "trade in" (and I STILL paid over $2100 for the KIrby!) and I got the Sentria and the carpet shampooer system. I went to use my carpet shampooer for the first time today and found that the belt was damaged as it had been used before, not the brand new system that I was told I was paying for. So it will go back in the closet for 4 more years and I will go rent an inferior machine from the supermarket. I feel very ripped off. I do not consider myself gullible, but I surely did fall for a line with this vacuum!
My carpets have never looked worse! Consumers would be better served buying whatever the latest technology has to offer (I hear Dyson is awesome) than spending way too much money for an inconvenient, heavy Kirby.

H20 Vac Turbo Water Filtration System Vacuum Cleaner Review

I grew up with an old Rainbow (well over twenty years ago) and noticed the huge advantages of having a water filtration vacuum. it's great for reducing the dust in your house, and with frequent usage, can seemingly eliminate the presence of dust all together. You can accomplish that using this vacuum. BUT... ONE: the suction is not what it claims to be. the twenty year old rainbow I had significantly stronger suction. So beware if you have lots of carpets. TWO: the water reservoir is a good size, but you use VERY LITTLE water. You have to change it frequently while using (again, if your house is heavily carpeted, this issue can be a pain). THREE: clean-up of the vacuum itself is another step you have to account for. because you use so little water, dirt can splash around the plastic tunneling where that spits the dirt into the water reservoir. it's not difficult to clean, but with the crevices, takes a little bit of time. It's necessary, if you don't want the scent of previous dirt to haunt you when you use the vacuum next. Also, when storing, paper-towel the reservoir and the plastic tunneling dry before you store it, or leave it out to dry before putting it back in. You don't want the scent of mildew either. I've read complaints about how flimsy the plastic is. It's an exaggeration. Compared to the Rainbow, where the plastic is so strong and rugged that it is seemingly childproof (I remember, my syblings and I abused the machine growing up and it still kept on going strong), the H20 vac fails to compare, BUT it's strong enough for frequent use, and the abuse from regular usage. beware of children though. it's not childproof strong! all together i feel it's a fair vacuum for the price. it's honestly a tenth of what the rainbow is, so compared to that, it is sufficiently a tenth of the price of the Rainbow. This will hold me over until i can afford to have a rainbow in my life again.
