Canister Vacuum Reviews

The Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer is a lightweight and extremely quiet bagged canister vacuum cleaner.  It gets top grades from consumers for it’s ability to clean hard surfaces (wood, tile, lino, etc) and for its quiet operation, but seems to fall a little short when cleaning carpet (in particular deep-pile carpet).  [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


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]


Manufactured in Germany and new for 2010, the Miele S2 series of canister vacuums range in price from about 300USD for the Olympus to about 600USD for the Titan.  It can be a little confusing determining which S2 canister is the right one for your needs.  In this review we describe what the Miele Olympus, Miele Delphi and the Miele Titan have in common as well as where they differ.  Additionally we discover some of what consumers think of this relatively new Miele S2 vacuum cleaner series. [REF Miele Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


Very much a “no bells & whistles” canister vacuum, the Eureka 3684F Pet Lover nevertheless gets good ratings and reviews from consumers.  It is also fairly inexpensive at around the 100USD level (at certain outlets).  Consumers like the fact that it is very lightweight, compact and good on hard surfaces, but point out that the short power cord and low quality vacuum hose are shortcomings. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


The Eureka Sanitaire SC3683A is considered a commercial vacuum but plenty of folks seem to be using it in their homes.  Consumers like the fact that it is small, light, powerful and HEPA ready, although there are some comments about it being better on hard surfaces than carpet. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


The Hoover Commercial Portapower Vacuum, or Hoover CH3000 as it is also known, is fairly new to the market and is the replacement (new version) of the Hoover Portapower C2094.  This is a compact, portable vacuum with good suction and plenty of attachments.  It is also not too expensive.  There are few consumer reviews on this vacuum presently but those that are available indicate that it is a well-liked machine.  The star ratings are also very good, although limited in number.  [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


The Hoover S3670 WindTunnel Bagged Canister vacuums gets good grades from some consumers and poor grades from others.  People like the vacuum’s strong suction and stylish looks but are unhappy with its poorly designed hose and overly-plastic construction.  [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


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 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 Electrolux EL6988E Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner is a lightweight, quiet, bagged vacuum with limited consumer reviews at this time.  This vacuum also comes with HEPA filtration and consumers do feel it is effective on most surfaces.  [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


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]


The Miele Callisto is part of the Miele S5 series of vacuums.  The S5 series are Miele’s higher-end canister vacuums, with the S4 and S2 series being typically more affordable.  The Callisto has been around for some time and is now paired with the new SEB228 Heavy Duty Powerhead (for both high and low-pile carpet) and the SBB300-3 Parquet Floor Brush (for bare floor cleaning).  This canister vacuum gets very good consumer ratings and is said to be powerful yet still quiet. [REF Miele Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010]


Panasonic is a well known company providing modern appliances to households & businesses worldwide, but they are not particularly well-known for their vacuum cleaners. They do, however, have a fairly wide range of both household and commercial vacuums.  One of their well rated canister vacuums is the Panasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow Lightweight Bag Canister vacuum cleaner. [REF Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]


There are two Miele S4212 vacuums - the S4212 Polaris and the S4212 Neptune.  The base model, the Miele S4212 Polaris is the replacement for the Miele S4210 Carina.   It should be noted that the S4212 Polaris is entirely the same vacuum with the same features as the S4210 Carina.  The only difference is the color - the Polaris is a light blue color (baby blue) while the Carina is a light yellow.  Like the S4210 Carina, the S4212 Polaris is the entry level Galaxy S4 series Miele canister vacuum, and like the Carina it is recommended for short-pile carpeting, area rugs and smooth flooring. [REF Miele Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]


After a number of comments asking us to review the likes of Miele, Lindhaus and Sebo we have undertaken our first Miele review.  Were we impressed?  Well, yes actually.  We typically have reviewed some of the more moderately priced brands of vacuum cleaners and the three aforementioned can be a bit pricey, however the Miele S4210 (Carina version at least) can be found at some websites/stores for under 400 USD.  Not cheap but then again not over the top for a machine with fantastic reviews and a 7 year motor warranty (yes – 7 years). [REF Miele 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]


Not to be confused with the similar looking 3670A, the Eureka 3670G Mighty Mite Canister vacuum cleaner gets fairly good consumer ratings, is lightweight, powerful and inexpensive.  [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]


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 Electrolux EL6985B is an interesting approach to a vacuum cleaner, focusing on reducing the vacuum noise level (we wish this was an idea more vacuum cleaner manufacturers would consider).  Electrolux have clearly been successful in making the EL6985B quiet – given consumer comments - but how does it stand up to the competition with respect to other key features?  [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]


This is perhaps the highest rated vacuum cleaner we have had the opportunity to review – it is also a pretty recent addition to the vacuum cleaner market.  It should be noted however that at this time we found only 23 reviews.  But even so, the average review was 5 stars out of 5 with the machine getting high marks for power, maneuverability, lightweight construction, and a 6-year warranty.  There is very little negative written about the Hoover UH30010COM. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]


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]


The Panasonic MC-CG467 Multi-Surface Lightweight Canister Vacuum Cleaner is a bagged vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter that is not too expensive for a canister vacuum and gets slightly better than average customer reviews.  [REF Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]
