The SOFT bristles were made specifically for the purposes you describe. I use mine all the time on such surfaces. I even use it on my flat screen TV and computer keyboard. However, you mention appliances . . .i wouldn't use it on greasy appliances that require chemicals to cut the grease.

I have allergies too. I use this for dusting everything in the home. It makes quick work of dusting large and small areas. It fits into small spaces. I love it. I still go over thing once in a while with Windex, but for weekly cleaning it works great and is very fast. I find I do a much better job of dusting with this brush. Things like doors and around windows that I did once in a blue moon I do about every other week now since it is so fast.

I think it works great for that... Better than a feather duster or swiffer duster... A little swipe and it sucks it right up... I use this on my little root 6 (the dyson handheld) and love it. Fast and easy and effective.

I have had mine for about 7 months, and have cleaned a few hundred records with it. It has held up fine for those light cleanings (dustings), but wont get in the grooves where the real problem areas are. If you are just removing top type dust then it will be fine. Be carful with products like these on very dirty (thrift store type buys) as you can do more harm by pushing dirt into the grooves of the record. Vacuum cleaners are always the best route, but price can be an issue. I have over 5000 records and only use it for the light cleanings.

The instructions that come with the lamp recommend dusting only and to not immerse it in water. The substance it's made of is a salt-based material and could dissolve or damage the crystals as well as the electrical parts. A feather duster would probably work just fine and that's what I use - it's just a lamp and shouldn't get dirty enough to require soap & water. It's a beautiful lamp and requires low maintenance. I placed mine on a wrought iron plant stand next to my fireplace.

I got this and then the Oneida Ultimate Dust Deputy II For Festool that sits on top of it as that keeps much of the dust out of the vacuum, so it makes it easier to empty. I use it mainly for sanding. I don't think it's a good choice for a table saw. You might be better off with dust collector like JET DC-650CK Dust Collector or similar, as those are made for table saws assuming you have a way to capture the dust like a 4" dust port on your table saw. There are attachments to compensate if you don't have a dust port. Dust collection can get pretty involved. I have a large cyclone and the Festool. Go to Rockler.com to get some ideas on dust collection and/or oneida-air.com. I hope this helped some what.

I bought a Roomba several years ago and returned it because of tassels. Here's the problem: while the Roomba would "spit out" the tassels is sucked in, it wound up doing this all the time. It never learned to pass over the tassels the next time. This means that a huge percent of battery drain could be attributed to this aspect of the cleaning.

I was wondering the same thing. I desperately need to get rid of my bagless vacuum cleaners (I have 3) because I was recently diagnosed with acute bronchitis and asthma. Consumer Reports rated this Hoover as being low on emissions, as well as excellent on both carpet and hard floors. I really like the 'bag full' light feature, and now i'm seeing several people mention that the latest version does not have this feature, or the headlight (don't care about the headlight). Someone who recently ordered from Amazon PLEASE let us know if the above is true. Thanks.

No, this bissell is a wonderful product. It sucks up all the dust even in corners. My experience with this bissell has been wonderful. I think you will be happy with it, I know I am.

I have not tried the Dyson. I have hardwoods, pets, and large area rugs, I love the carpet attachment, and the brush crevice tool is nice for floor moldings. The filter is washable, which is nice, and the first thing to check if the suction is lacking. I do think it could have a tiny bit more suction, but I might feel that way regardless :D. On bare floors I definitely prefer the bare floor attachment, and I like the design of it. it does okay on pet hair, I think it clogs the filter a little quicker. I have a lightweight cordless I use for stairs....

I wouldn't say it cleans. I have it in my bedroom to catch airborne particles that I'm allergic to, such as pollen and cat dander. I think it would be expecting too much for it to protect the entire living area.

I've got 2 of these and my house is still very dusty, despite bi-weekly professional cleaning. I do know that the germguardian does help, since it's filters get filthly as well and need frequent cleaning themselves. But you shouldn't count on it to keep your house dust-free.

I have a very large kitchen and foyer. I just dust mop the entire floor and then move it all towards the Eye-Vac. The motion detector sucks up all the "stuff". I have 2 kids and a shedding dog. Every two or three weeks I empty the cylinder out. LOVE IT!!!!! So easy.

I found the same problem, and more, and returned my Dyson. It proved useless for everything, let alone animal hair. The attachment that is supposed to be so useful for animal hair is not even motor-powered, the sweeping mechanism is weakly powered by the suction only; the vacuum is bulky, the wand is ridiculously cumbersome. It all hype and no convenience or action. I bought a Kenmore no-bag cannister model and it's great, especially for animal hair.

Hi.. I purchased the DysonC65 this past summer. I wanted/needed a vacuum that performed better and outlasted my previous 2 vacuums. After lots of research thru independent review websites, I decided to purchase the DysonC65 vacuum! I bought it thru Amazon.com and it did include a 5-year warranty! I have three area rugs, none of mine are loose weave. The first time I vacuumed with the Dyson, my rugs were not only debris free, the very unexpected surprise was the carpets looked cleaner, brighter, colors more vivid. That was a very happy feeling. I stood there looking at my rugs kinda shocked. Then looked at the canister and saw how quickly it filled up! It was getting out actual deep dirt, that my previous vacuum weren't powerful enough to pick up. There is no other explanation. The rest of our home is either hardwood, or stone. We have NO carpeting at all. The Dyson is not cheap! I too had questions and wanted to know if this would be a good investment. So far, I say, YES, definitely. We have two dogs.. one with a double coat. He sheds so much. He is a dear sweet thing so either sweeping or vacuuming up after him is worth having him in our family. I hope my experience with the DysonC65 helps you decide! Jan Cappell - Royal Oak, MI

Personally I used ours, owned 3 that are now sitting on a shelf in our garage, for humidity and to remove cig. smoke from the air. If I had to rate them, I would give them a 3 on a scale of 1 -10. Also, keep in mind, they are tough to clean, if you can get all the "white" accumulation off at all, and the additives are expensive. I would not recommend this product PERIOD! For your needs, there are products out there that will do a much better job in my humble opinion.

I have a very dusty home, dust & it's back. I also have a Boston Terrier. I don't find it collects at all. The screen attracts naturally, but not the case. My hubby & I love the case. The feet are handy too, they were a bonus we never thought we would even use.

This is basically just an air blower. You squeeze the bulb and air whooshes out, so yes, it will blow off dust, but for cleaning the screen on an iPad, I'd probably want to use lens cleaner, or Windex, or something like that to actually clean the glass, not just blow the dust off. However, if your glass if already clean, and you just want to clear off the dust, then this would probably do it. Hope that helps. :)

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.
