I'm thinking of purchasing for an office environment as an addition to the daily vacuuming by the cleaning crew. Any recommendations?

I use mine everyday for quick pickups on traffic areas and love it. It is amazing how much dirt it grabs. Well worth it!

I got a refund on the Stanley sweeper because the handle was broken. I bought it listed as" in good working condition". But like most of the other reviews, they stated the handle was the problem. I would not recommend this product. Instead I bought a Leifheit 11410. Leifheit Rotaro S Carpet Sweeper. Well worth the money. I paid $57.95 with free shipping. Now after much use it's performing wonderfully. Hope this helps.

This is a great sweeper for those in-between cleaning times. It has great pickup, is easy to clean and stores conveniently.

I returned the Stanley the day after I got it because it wouldn't pick up anything on the floor. I wound up getting the Oreck Restaurateur which works really well. Hope that helps with your order!

Not really. It's more of a dustbuster with a long stick option. It won't dig deep into pile to pull up pet hair and dirt. For that you need a "real" vacuum cleaner. The advantage of the ergo is quick & small jobs or a quick once-over of the home. Great for dustbunnies, cheerios, tufts of pet hair and human hair. Not a go-to for a thorough carpet cleaning.

The dust collection is very good. Much better than most. High quality machine. We use in industrial setting. Use it everyday, works great.

Personally, I won't use anything but a shop vac simply because of the amount of dust that will clog up most expensive filters. The shop vac filters are easily washed and can be reused several times, are inexpensive, and I've never had any damage done to my shop vac motor that I'm sure I'd have encountered had I used my other vacs. The shop vac I have I purchased at Menards for under $40 and I've worked the poor thing to what would have been death for a 'normal' vac. As long as you take care of it, and make sure to keep the filters cleaned when they need it, I suppose you could use any type you wanted, but...as I stated...shop vacs, in my opinion, are much better suited for the 'tough' jobs.

I have mine at work in a large office and it works great, in your case you may want to change the filters more often

I just purchased the Dyson 18, as my Oreck was not getting the job done on my shag carpet. For me it is easier to vacuum with the Dyson and it is amazing how much it picks up. So far I am very happy with it!

There's a lot of factors to consider. Roomba does a pretty good job of getting into corners because it has a side brush. Roomba is also much more tenacious, to a point where it's just brutal on your walls, furniture and carpet. Cleaning the sidebrush can be a pain when hair gets wrapped around it. You need to remove a screw and pop the brush off, then tweeze out the hair. Roomba will also clean for much longer than is necessary; going over the same areas repeatedly. I find this to be extremely annoying personally. Neato doesn't have a sidebrush. I thought this would be a major shortcoming of the Neato, but it turns out it's not been an issue at all. The laser guidance allows the Neato to get right up close to walls and corners. It's crazy; beyond anything I ever expected of a robot vac. Neato cleans more methodically and it has a much stronger suction so it does a good job of not missing any spots without having to use a brute force approach like Roomba. If you want the best robot vac on the market then get the Neato. The biggest negative for Neato right now is the price.

I use mine for the same job almost every day. Our cat makes a mess in the laundry room with litter and fur. The vacuum does a great job on both on the hard floor and the throw rugs.

Just bought a Dyson City Vac. It has a small power-head but seems to have good suction and I love the attachments and the overall versatility of the machine. I liked the Samsung power-head really well for carpets however, the wand of my Samsung broke and they seemingly weren't able to replace it. Samsung has very poor customer service. Friendly but not helpful. We made several calls to Samsung and were refunded for the vacuum. You may want to check them out on the Better Business Bureau website. Dyson is known for quality customer service.

pretty good, I use th edge attachment and they also have a floor attachment. You can also just vacume in bare floor mode...

I've had 2 Ergorapidos, The first one the battery died after 1 1/2 yr, not replaceable so throw away. The second one the brush broke and it no longer suctions, but I can still use the hand vac. I bought a wired hoover, it has strong suction but I keep getting tripped up with the cord. I'm now looking to buy the cordless linx. I love th ergo when its new but do not recommend as it needs to be replaced too often.

I bought both of my Dyson's when the price was less than $350 - I bought two. I bought them seperately becuase after I bought the first one I decided that I would rather have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I found that the attachments that came with them work well for me. I may buy the attachment for pet hair eventually but for now I do not need it. I have two cats. I absolutely love my Dysons. They work well on all carpets and the floors in my home. I have tried SO many vaccums and this is the absolute best. It is worth the money but I did wait until the prices were good - around Christmas was the best I have noticed. I am going to buy one for my daughter this Christmas.

I have the neato 21 and multiple roombas. I have a slight preference for the roomba with the old style brush on hardwood. If the unit is expected to go in and out of many rooms, I would choose the Neato for navigation. I think the lower priced roombas are a good first purchase. The best robotic vacuum is the one that will work for many months without breaking. Cleaning differences are not of of great significance.

You can buy either. Synthethic came with the vacuum and didn't last. I paid more and bought a natural bristle brush recently. Miele's attachments are a joke!

The Miele is probably THE finest vacuum I have ever owned (I'm 63). It comes with the powered rug attachment which does everything you need, and it has a great brush for bare floors. The entry cost is very high, but it is quality through and through. Hope this helps in your decision

I think it would work fine. Mine lasted a few months and then broke. We use it in a warehouse for sweepingand I think I would personally go for something a bit more substantial next time.

I wouldn't replace a regular vacuum with it because of carpet and such. It doesn't have a brushed power head for the nap of carpet. Fortunately I don't know about spill clean up yet. Sorry
