This is an inexpensive, bagless upright that is getting good consumer ratings. It is fairly basic but still comes with a number of nice features like HEPA filtration, a carbon filter for odor removal, several height settings, a headlight, and a number of tools and attachments. Owners almost unanimously feel that this unit has powerful suction but some comment that the hose is short and that the vacuum is a bit loud. [REF Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] Consumer ratings vary widely for the Hoover C1660-900 Hush Commercial vacuum. Many owners report that it is powerful, has an easy-to-empty dirt canister, and is a very capable vacuum cleaner. Others, however, feel it is not entirely worthy of the “commercial” designation, citing a short power cord and handle. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] The Panasonic MC-UL915 is quite recent, having been introduced in April 2010. It does not yet have many consumer reviews or ratings but those that are available indicate a fairly high level of satisfaction with this bagless upright vacuum. This is a feature-rich machine that is usually available for just over 200USD. [REF Panasonic Vacuum Reviews 2010] The LG LuV250C is a compact bagless upright vacuum cleaner. It is popular with some owners but not with others. It is well designed and it has strong suction, a motorized brushbar, a long power cord and an easy-to-empty dirt canister. It also uses LG’s Kompressor technology which allows the canister to hold up to 3 times more debris. Some owners comment however that the exhaust air can blow dust away from the nozzle. [REF LG Vacuum Reviews] The Dirt Devil Dynamite M084650 is very reasonably priced and it receives mostly good grades from owners who are impressed with its strong suction, HEPA filtration, light weight and compact size. It can be found online for between $50 and$60 (at certain retail outlets) and is great for quick pick-ups and small area cleaning such as apartments. Due to its compact size however it may not be the best choice for vacuuming large areas. [REF Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pro (NV356E) is getting top notch reviews. As a matter of fact, consumers on Amazon - at the time of this writing - have so far given this vacuum a perfect 5 stars out of 5. This machine is similar to the Shark Navigator Lift Away (NV350) but it comes with a special professional dusting bare floor tool, and there are a few other differences as well. Most owners praise this unit for its strong suction, light weight, maneuverability, large dirt canister and Lift-Away feature. [REF Euro-Pro Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] We previously looked at another Eureka Pet Lover vacuum, the 3684F canister, and it subsequently ended up on our list of Best Vacuum Cleaners Under $100. In this review we are investigating the more recent Eureka Pet Lover Deluxe upright vacuum (model 8811AVZ). It has been getting good reviews and consumers report that it has strong suction, is reasonably priced, and is very good at removing pet hair. However a few owners find the vacuum rather loud and it also does not have brushbar on/off controls. [REF Eureka Vacuum Reviews] The Dyson DC17 Animal gets good customer ratings – and there are many ratings available as this is a popular machine. Consumer comments indicate that it does indeed work very well on removing pet hair from most surfaces. It can be a bit heavy for some folks however. [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Bissell 22C1 Cleanview Helix is one of three Bissell Cleanview Helix vacuums on the market today. It is Bissell’s mid-range Helix machine with the 82H1 being the entry model and the 21K3 being the top end. All of these are bagless uprights with HEPA filtration and a number of other features. The 22C1 gets reasonable reviews and is available for under 100USD. [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Eureka Airspeed Gold is a relatively inexpensive bagless upright vacuum that provides strong suction through Eureka’s Airspeed technology. It comes with a number of attachments and is also getting good reviews from owners. Consumers like the unit’s powerful suction and easy-empty dirt canister but the vacuum is a bit heavy and several owners note that the filters need to be cleaned frequently. [REF Eureka Vacuum Reviews] The Dyson DC41 is a fairly new product from Dyson. It is their latest Ball Upright vacuum cleaner and reviews are quite good to date. The DC41 has undergone significant redesign to optimize performance and the result is a very powerful machine with automatic nozzle height adjustment (and a few more upgrades). Consumers like the long power cord and the machine’s ability to pick up pet hair but some find that the vacuum profile makes it difficult to get under furniture. [REF Dyson Vacuum Reviews] The Bissell PROlite (17G5 series) gets a wide range of consumer ratings. It is a bagless, upright vacuum cleaner with automatic height adjustment. It is liked for it’s stylish looks, easy assembly and strong suction while detractors indicate that the attachments do not stay in place, the power switch does not always work and the power cord is too short. [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] Hoover has a number of cyclonic canister vacuums on the market and the Hoover SH40060 is one of the least expensive, yet it gets some of the best reviews and ratings from consumers. It is not widely available and you won’t see it for sale on too many online retail websites (but it can be found at the likes of Amazon, Target and a few others). It comes with a lot of good features and is noted by owners for having strong suction, washable filters and a powered brushbar. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] There isn’t much consumer input on the LG Kompressor Plus PetCare LcV900B canister vacuum yet but the input that can be found is very good. Owners are very pleased with the machine's powerful suction, washable filters and easy-to-empty dirt canister. It also gets good marks for having controls on the handle and being very effective at pulling up pet hair. It does tend to be a little on the heavy side however. [REF LG Vacuum Reviews] This vacuum cleaner seems to evoke a number of emotions from consumers. Comments range from “wonderful” to “you basically get what you pay for” to “do not buy this vacuum”. It is a relatively inexpensive machine with a unique v-shaped base, the idea of which is to channel the dirt into the main suction area of the vacuum. [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The LG LuV400T is a very interesting vacuum cleaner with a tremendous range of features and tools. Some of the more atypical features include vacuum RF controls from the wand and a special dust compacting system that allows you to get up to 3 times more dirt in the canister before emptying is necessary. Consumer ratings are quite good and the vacuum is also Certified Asthma and Allergy Friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The cost for this machine tends to be similar (or slightly less) than a Dyson. [REF LG Vacuum Reviews] Consumer ratings for the Dyson DC23 TurbineHead Canister Vacuum are good - not stellar - but typically greater than 4 stars out of 5. For a Dyson it is not too pricey (depending on where you purchase) and it is said to have strong suction, work well on bare floors & rugs, and to be aesthetically pleasing (a lot of folks mention this). On the other hand it is not as effective as the Dyson DC23 Motorhead on carpet due to its air driven brushbar. [REF Dyson Vacuum Reviews 2010] This machine seems to have all the key vacuum cleaner features as well as very strong suction. It is also not as expensive as some of the other Dyson uprights, however many consumers love this machine or hate it. It does not get the very consistent high ratings of the Dyson DC25 Animal for example. Owners are pleased with the powerful suction, long cord and large dirt canister however there are numerous comments regarding the less-than-stellar wand design and the noise generated when vacuuming on short carpet. [REF Dyson Vacuum Reviews 2011] Consumer reviews indicate a high level of satisfaction with the Hoover S3865 Platinum Cyclonic Bagless Canister Vacuum. In addition, the Hoover.com site states that is has been rated as a “Best Buy” by Consumers Digest. Comments from those who have purchased the vacuum indicate that it does a great job cleaning both hard surfaces and carpet and that the unit has very strong suction. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Bissell Rewind SmartClean 58F8 is another reasonably priced Bissell vacuum that is getting good consumer reviews and ratings. It can be found online at some sources for under $150 and it comes with HEPA filtration, a retractable power cord, an array of attachments, and a carpet clean sensor that many folks really like. It is also a bagless machine with a respectably long warranty for the price. Some people, however, have commented that it is a little heavy, although it is only just slightly heavier than your average upright. [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2011] Although there is not much consumer input on this particular machine yet - the comments to date indicate that owners are very pleased with their purchase. This is a lightweight and maneuverable canister vacuum with a motorized brushbar making it capable on both carpet and bare floors. Owners like that the vacuum is quiet, powerful and even has multiple suction settings. However some consumers wish the UltraActive Deepclean EL4300A had more on-board storage for attachments. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] The Shark Navigator (model NV22) is a popular and well-liked vacuum cleaner, but there is now a new model under the Navigator name called the NV350 Lift-Away, and it is getting good consumer ratings. The Lift-Away is similar to the Shark Navigator NV22 in many ways (strong suction, not too expensive, 5-year warranty) but it is also very lightweight and it comes with a detachable canister. [REF Euro-Pro Vacuum Reviews 2011] The Euro-Pro Shark NV22L Navigator gets great reviews, has a solid 5 year warranty and can often be found for under 200USD. We have not looked at a Euro-Pro vacuum before but after repeatedly seeing good reviews and ratings for this particular model, the Euro-Pro Shark NV22L Navigator, we decided to dig a little deeper. We were not disappointed. [REF Euro-Pro Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Electrolux Nimble looks great on paper and has good features but some owners struggle with certain aspects of the machine. As a result, consumer ratings are not as high as one might expect. The machine does have its proponents and some folks swear it is better than a Dyson but there are a number of detractors who feel that it is too heavy, hard to push on carpet and the plastic used in the construction of the machine isn’t sturdy enough. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] This is a reasonably inexpensive bagless Hoover upright with most of the bells and whistles. It is also viewed favorably by consumers and is a recommended model by Consumer Reports Magazine. It doesn’t have the long warranty of those vacuums in the Hoover Platinum Series, but the two-years parts and labor warranty is still better than some of the other machines in this price range. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Bissell Healthy Home 16N5 is the newer version of the Bissell Healthy Home 5770 vacuum and it is getting some great reviews and ratings by consumers. There have been some improvements over the 5770 and it comes with a 5-year warranty. [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] Owners of the Hoover UH70210 WindTunnel Pet Vacuum give it very good marks for its ability to pick up unruly pet hair. They are also pleased with its strong suction and washable HEPA filter. However some find the hose a little short and the dirt canister tricky to empty. All-in-all consumer reviews are quite favorable, giving the UH70210 consistently 4 out of 5 stars or better. [REF Hoover Vacuum Reviews 2010] A quick look at a reasonably new vacuum that appears to be increasing in popularity, the Bissell 21K3 Cleanview Helix Deluxe Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner. This unit has slowly been climbing the best-seller vacuum list on Amazon, although at this time there are still limited reviews or ratings. In this review we provide a quick vacuum cleaner overview. [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Black & Decker PSV1800, sometimes called the Black & Decker Pivot Vac, is a bagless and cordless stick vacuum that is effective on both bare floors and carpets. It lasts a fairly long time on a single charge and comes with a 2-year warranty. There are some consumer comments that it is awkward emptying the dirt canister however. [REF Black & Decker Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Eureka 437AZ is an inexpensive and lightweight upright vacuum that many consumers feel is a good buy - it typically retails for less than 80 USD. It has great suction but is fairly small and according to those who purchased the vacuum, is preferred for smaller areas and not large house-wide cleaning jobs. The vacuum could be considered a hybrid of a conventional upright and a stick vacuum. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Hoover EmPower is a bagless, upright vacuum cleaner. It is a good-looking machine and comes in only a silver/green color combination (see image in article). It has HEPA filtration, a hush mode for quiet vacuuming and a Power Boost that is purported to help with “hard-to-clean-messes”. This unit gets mixed reviews, with some consumers feeling that vacuum performs well and is an excellent choice for the money (the Hoover EmPower is often priced under 100USD) and other consumers indicating they were not impressed with the machines capabilities. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Electrolux EL7055B Twin Clean is a bagless, canister vacuum cleaner with a self-cleaning filter system. It get good reviews, comes with several tools and is purported by Electrolux to be effective on bare floors, hardwood, stairs, carpets & rugs. Consumers feel it is better on carpet than on bare floors however. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Hoover UH60010 is a self-propelled bagless upright that gets relatively good consumer ratings however they are few. It comes with a large number of features including a handheld pet hair tool, but the warranty on this machine is short at only 1 year. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Bissell Lift-Off MultiCyclonic Pet Vacuum (model 89Q9) is a bagless, upright with a number of great features – detachable canister, headlight, HEPA filter, 30 foot power cord, 15 inch cleaning path, rotating brush power on/off switch, etc. Bissell indicates that the unit is good for both carpet and bare floors. It gets decent consumer reviews and is not too expensive (under 200USD). [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Dyson DC23 Motorhead vacuum cleaner is not the most popular Dyson and there is little written about this particular machine. However the few consumer reviews available do give it good ratings. This is a bagless, canister vacuum with tremendous power and like most Dysons is fairly expensive. [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] This is the first LG vacuum cleaner we have reviewed but we had been noticing that the LG Kompressor Pet Care Upright Vacuum was selling well and getting some decent reviews. It uses Kompressor technology which is an interesting approach to storing and disposing of vacuum waste, and one which many consumers appear to like. Consumer ratings are also quite good for this machine and folks like the long power cord, the washable filters and the Kompressor technology. On the downside some consider it a bit heavy. [REF LG Vacuum Reviews 2010] The Bissell 82H1 seems to be fairly popular and gets good reviews from most consumers. It is also inexpensive (under 100USD) and is purported to be effective on both carpets and bare floors. Bissell has been providing floorcare products for over 125 years and they are best known for carpet cleaners (they are also fairly active in the community). [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Hoover WindTunnel UH70105 is a bagless upright that gets fairly good consumer reviews. A powerful yet relatively light vacuum cleaner, it can often be found for less than $100USD. It comes with a number of tools, HEPA filtration and it carries a 2-year warranty. [REF Hoover Vacuum Reviews 2010] The Bissell 3920 Pet Hair Eraser appears to be another in the line of “love it or hate it” vacuum cleaners. Many consumers indicate that it does a great job, has fantastic suction and is good value for the money (several even feel it does a better job on animal hair than the Dyson Animal models). However there are also folks that give this vacuum cleaner less than stellar ratings, citing decreased suction over time, an overly aggressive brushbar and a “messy to empty” dirt canister. [REF Bissell Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Dyson DC28 Animal is another Dyson machine made for households with pets. On average it gets very good consumer ratings. There are occasional grumblings – mostly related to the machines weight, but consumers are generally thrilled with this unit’s powerful suction and ability to remove pet hair from almost all surfaces. This vacuum does not evoke many middle of the road reviews. Most love it but some don’t. [REF Dyson Vacuum Reviews 2010] Dyson claim that their vacuums don’t clog or lose suction and that they are durable and easy to use. Dysons are certified asthma friendly according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, and they have a fairly long warranty (typically 5 years). They are also very popular with consumers. The Dyson DC15 Animal is no exception, and like most Dysons, (with the exception of some of their handheld models), gets very good consumer ratings. [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Hoover UH70015 has lifetime washable filters (with HEPA), very strong suction and a lengthy warranty of 6 years. This vacuum used to be fairly expensive (400+USD) rivaling the price of a Dyson, but the price has come down lately (less than 300USD through some sources). [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] Consumer ratings for the Eureka Comfort Clean (model 4236AZ) are quite average. It is a bagless upright with HEPA filtration that typically sells for 100 - 150USD. A common concern for those that purchased the vacuum is its weight (19lbs). Consumers find this machine heavier than expected. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] Electrolux seem to have developed a winner with the Electrolux EL1012A Stick Hand Vac 2 N 1 Ergorapido Cordless (although we wish vacuum cleaner manufacturers could find a way to make less complicated names). Consumers give this stick vacuum very good reviews with few disparaging remarks. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] A short but sweet review of the Dirt Devil 082500 Breeze Bagless Canister vacuum. This vacuum cleaner gets fairly good reviews and is also relatively inexpensive for a canister vacuum. Consumers indicate a number of pros and cons but in general feel that it is a good buy for the money – particularly for hardwood floors. [REF Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Dyson DC14 All-Floors comes with a motorized brushbar, the standard Dyson Root Cyclone technology (ensuring strong and continous suction) and a lifetime HEPA filter. Coupled with a 5-year warranty this makes for a decent vacuum cleaner and consumer ratings bear this out. [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] There are two DC25 models. The DC25 All-Floors and the DC25 Animal. It seems the only difference between the two (besides the color) is that the DC25 Animal comes with an extra tool called the mini turbine tool. Does this make the DC25 Animal worth the extra money? [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] The Dirt Devil M082700 Vision Turbo Canister Vacuum is another in the line of love it or hate it vacuum cleaners. It is a bagless, HEPA vacuum that some consumer like for it’s ability to clean hard surfaces and it’s lightweight, low noise and reasonably low cost (for a canister). However detractors feel that the vacuum under-performs on carpet, has poorly designed attachments and a very small dust container. [REF Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Dyson DC18 is a bagless, upright, HEPA vacuum cleaner. It is Dyson’s lightweight upright, weighing in at 6.7 kg (about 14.7lbs). It has most of the same features as Dyson’s heavier uprights and still delivers 200 air watts of suction power. It gets very solid consumer reviews but, like most Dysons, is not a cheap unit. [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] This is a short and to-the-point review of a popular, no-frills, stick vacuum cleaner. Consumers generally feel that this machine is great for light cleanups and is also a pretty good buy. It is not meant to do heavy-duty work however. [REF Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] Make no mistake about it, this is an expensive machine – presently about 390USD at Amazon - however the reviews indicate that you get what you pay for. This unit gets extremely good ratings/reviews and there were over 190 that we found. This is a pretty solid sample size so clearly consumers that purchased this product (regardless of its cost) feel that it was worth the money and does what it was designed to do. [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] Introducing the DC24 Ball vacuum cleaner - the newest addition to the DC Ball family and another upright vacuum cleaner by Dyson. Based on the unique Ball technology this vacuum is likely to be popular among those looking for a lightweight, compact cleaning machine. It will be available in the U.K. after 20 February 2008 and after 10 March in the US. Be sure to check Dyson’s website for the exact date it will ship. They are taking pre-orders at this time... [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] In this vacuum cleaner review we investigate the Dyson DC07, a vacuum that rates reasonably well according to what consumers report. There are two Dyson DC07 models – the “All Floors” model and the “Animal” model. These are referred to as the “Origin range”. The “Animal” includes a Carpet Care Kit, a Low Reach Floor Tool (an attachment for easier cleaning under low furniture), and a Mini Turbine Head (special vacuum cleaner head that aids in removing pet hairs from upholstery, stairs, and cars). The “All Floors” model does not have these features but comes standard with a reversible wand, a quick draw hose (instant 17ft extension), automatic adjustment to different carpet heights, and a brush angled to reach between the baseboard and the floor, flicking dust directly into the airflow... [REF Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] The Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum is sometimes referred to as the Platinum Collection Cordless Stick Vac or sometimes simply the BH50010 (which is the model number). It is a cordless and bagless stick vacuum cleaner and is the first stick vacuum to come equipped with Hoover’s WindTunnel technology. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] W.H. "Boss" Hoover bought the patent for the “suction sweeper” from an inventor in 1908. Since then Hoover engineers have been improving upon the basic design, creating a comprehensive range of vacuum cleaner models for both general and specialized cleaning. In this vacuum cleaner rating we look at another in the long line of Hoover cleaning machines; namely the Hoover U5507-900. This bagless vacuum cleaner offers “widepath” cleaning – providing a 14.5 inch sweep, a HEPA filter, stretch hose, several add-on cleaning tools, a headlight (a first developed by Hoover engineers years ago), a furniture guard and a 24 foot retractable cord… [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] A lightweight, bagless, inexpensive vacuum cleaner manufactured by Hoover with reasonably good consumer ratings. It is also rather fashionable and has a sleek, smooth design with a painted high gloss finish. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] The Hoover S3765-040 uses Hoover’s patented WindTunnel technology. Hoover does not go into great detail about how the WindTunnel technology works other than to say their engineers went to great lengths to develop a system that lifts and traps dirt very efficiently without any scattering. Reviews and ratings on this vacuum seem to vary widely, from good on Amazon to fairly average on Epinions. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] Dirt Devil makes quite a few funky looking vacuum cleaners. The Dirt Devil MBV2030 Rechargeable Broom Vacuum is no exception. This device is essentially a combination broom and vacuum cleaner and comes in a myriad of colours from basic black or white to plum, seabreeze or butter yellow (and more). Is this the best vacuum cleaner? Let's review the features and consider what consumers report... [REF Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] The iRobot Roomba 410 is an entry-level robotic vacuum cleaner with a host of features. For the uninitiated, robotic vacuum cleaners are small, often disc shaped, battery operated vacuums that scour the floor vacuuming up dirt, hair, lint and the like using some computer means of navigation. The 410 utilizes counter rotating brushes and a vacuum to pick up dirt (these brushes routinely have to be cleaned so they are hand-removable). It does not use any kind of bag and the dirt is captured in a “dirt cup” – which iRobot claims is very easy to remove and empty. Also, an interesting note is that its sensors and programming are set up such that the Roomba 410 covers every area of the floor an average of four times during a given cleaning session. To learn more about Robotic Vacuums in general see our other article titled “Robotic Vacuums - An Overview”. [REF Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The iRobot Roomba 560 is the third generation of Roomba and is one of iRobot’s “middle-of-the-road” models. iRobot indicates that there are many improvements over previous models. Consumers seem to like the product but also indicate that, while it is a step forward, it still has some issues. [REF Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]
