I love a vacuum with a BAG

I love a vacuum with a BAG.  I hated cleaning out the bagless type.  This is lightweight but powerful and a great price.

This little vacuum is excellent, it really is!  It has great suction.  The extendable little wand is a nice to have.  I would have given it 5 stars, but really, the little bucket (bagless) fills up quickly....perhaps because I have 3 animals in this house, but nonetheless, I have to empty it often.  Also, the cord is a little shorter than what I would like to have.  It is an easy little thing to carry around and I really do love it.  Great for the price.

I am enjoying my new vacuum.  It is sooo light and easy to handle.  I can vacuum much longer without wearing myself out.
It does a great job.  Would hate for you to see all it picks up!  It is not FUN to empty the canister, but that's part of the deal.  I'd rather do that than drag a partially filled bag around as I clean.

I chose this rating because the product, which is the Geniune Electrolux S-Bag is a fantastic vacuum cleaner bag and when you go to remove a full bag and you gently pull on the handle it will actually close the opening so all the dirt and dust stays inside the bag. These bags look small but they actually hold a lot of dirt.

I just gotta say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this vacuum!!  It's lightweight, bagged, HEPA filter (and you can use HEPA bags) - easy to use (the power vac head just propels itself forward) and it cleans GREAT!  I didn't know a person could get so excited over a stupid vacuum, but no kidding, from the moment I turned it on I was THRILLED! I was vacuuming up some thick dust and hair areas of carpet and it picked up all that dust, dirt and stuff and there was NOTHING in the air to bother my allergies!  [Some machines simply blow so much air out that even if it's seriously filtered, that exhaust air just causes air in your environment to be stirred so much THAT puts dust/dander in the air -- it just didn't seem to happen AT ALL with this, and for me that's a BIG PLUS!]

Can't say how durable it is (how long it'll last) since I've only just got it - but I am SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED WITH ITS PERFORMANCE out of the box. INCREDIBLE SUCTION POWER and with a little working it around was able to get some small dead leaves from a plant sucked up from along the baseboard where the carpet makes a nice V trap which is hard to get things out of - and didn't have to use a special attachment, just the power head. (Yes, using the proper attachment would have been much more efficient but I was too lazy to bother to change the head if I didn't HAVE to).

In many vacuums, the suction seems to largely come from the power attachment, and when you disconnect that part you lose some portion of suction -- I did not find that to be true on this vac. Maybe in time it will, but out of the box that was NOT the case.

I even used the vac while carrying the canister and found that it didn't seem to effect the performance or change the sound of the motor or anything - and it was not awkward or heavy (carrying my purse or a gallon of milk seems much heavier!)

Oh yeah, it's NOT AS NOISY as other vacs I've owned either - another plus!

I LOVE THIS VACUUM!

(Okay...one POSSIBLE downside is that the automatic cord retrieval is slow - which I actually LIKE because I don't have to worry about the cord whipping me as it's sucked back in - but I think this might be an area that COULD stop working. Although I would be okay with having to wrap up the cord the old fashioned way if need be, it's not a big deal and the benefits of this baby far outweigh that little issue for me.)

This is a review of the Anker HomeVac Duo 2-in-1 Cordless Vacuum in black.  I absolutely love this duo vacuum.  It is lightweight and the swivel handle makes this a dream to use.  It has great suction and picks up everything from dust, lint, cat hair, litter, and cat food plus dirt and small rocks.  I love the stand up by itself feature and it is simple to separate to use the smaller hand held unit.  It couldn't be easier to clean, the washable hepa filter is great, and as for putting it back in the right way-just don't set it down or change hands.  Pull it out, clean off lint with your other hand and slip it back in-easy.

I can vacuum my 1800 square foot house (mostly tile) on one charge and could keep cleaning if necessary.  The only feature I would change is to have a place on the vacuum for the two attacnments.  I highly recommend this vacuum.  Also love the lights to help with vacuuming under things and in closets and it is quiet, not like a jet engine, which is a big plus for me.  There are no cons with this great little 2-in-1 stick vacuum.  I look forward to using it every day.  It is very sleek looking.

I bought this vacuum on sale so I got a good price.  I needed to replace an old upright...a basic $200 bag upright that lasted about 6 years.  I wanted to switch to a canister because I have multiple levels in my home with different floor types, rug, tile, wood and stairs.  I was getting to the point that I was tired of using the short hose attachment on my upright to clean 80% of my home and having it fall over all the time because of short reach.  I love using a canister style now and find it so much lighter and easier to use than my old upright.  Especially easy I like using my foot to turn it on, change from the floor attachment to the motorized carpet head and it drags behind easily.  No, it's not the "perfect" machine, and there are even more expensive models out there, but that doesn't mean they work any better or worse.  Considering I paid only a little over what a new upright would cost me, it was worth it.  I would have liked to have gotten a motorized furniture head for the price, like the Oxygen3, but I see I can buy this later if I want to.  I have 4 pets and it gets all the hair very nicely.  My old vacuum just went across the surface leaving alot of deep dirt behind as I saw when I replaced my old carpets.  So far I like this one very much and it is doing a good job.  I no longer find it annoying to drag out a vacuum to clean something.  I hope I get many years out of it.  So far so good.

I love this vacuum and wish I had made the leap sooner. My only complaint is that the covering to the compartment that houses the additional attachments doesn't have a firm closure and frequently pops open without provocation. It doesn't affect the effectiveness of the vacuum, it's just annoying.

I recently have a bag vacumm. So then when I looked online at target.com I saw this amazing bagless and low price vacumm. I loved the price on this vacumm. When I got the Eureka Whirlwind litespeed vacumm home I used it. I went over it 1 time and it filled up the whole canister. I used to sneaze all the time but, when I used this vacumm with this hepa filter, it cleaned all the dust and dirt in the air. I also liked the capet heighted adjustment. There is also a hose and one dusting brush and a crevice tool which I can clean the stairs and the corners. It is amazing. I recommend this vacumm to people who has trouble finding a vacumm.

Since I received this vacuum cleaner I just enjoy the idea of vacuuming. Kind of sad I know, but I really enjoy it. It picks up everything, a ton of dust and particles. I feel my home being cleaner and I know it is. It's expensive but worths every penny.

I got this yesterday and cant stop vacuuming my house.  I have a roomba, which apparently isn't doing a very good job.  I love that you can vacuum and then wet clean without changing tanks, or rollers.  I bought all 3 rollers .

When I first opened up the box and began to read the user manual, I was a little disappointed that the accessory tools mentioned were not included, and I'm hoping these will be available as a separate purchase. At the time of this writing, I didn't see them on the site. This package comes with an extra filter and a brush tip that fits onto the end of the stowaway extension on the handheld "guts" portion of the vacuum. It's hard to vacuum baseboards without a narrow crevice tool that you can rotate to follow alongside the top of the baseboards, but for doing windowsills and anything up off the ground you can come into flat (like shelves), the tools that come with this are fine.

That said, I can't tell you how great this little stick vacuum is! It's a breeze to charge and a breeze to use, and I especially love that you can detach the handheld part and empty it so easily. It takes getting used to how to release and re-engage the handheld on the floor assembly&mdash;I was too timid at first. The vacuum really does stand on its own in upright position, or you can stand it on its unobtrusive charging dock. I like that I can literally sit this in a corner behind my exercycle for charging and lift it right out anytime I want to use it. It doesn't have to go in a closet, taking up precious storage space, to get it out of the way!

Everything operates smoothly and without the painful strain on my back that my larger vacuum causes. I run a Roomba 650 three times a week and have been doing so since we moved into this apartment eight months ago. The carpets were cleaned, of course, before we moved in, and I feel like the Roomba ("Whisker") stays on top of my little mixed-coat chiweenie's hair and paper shreddings. When I was testing this B+D vacuum, then, I really wasn't expecting to see much in its dirt receptacle, but even after only five minutes or so, there was a lot of dust and dirt! What really shocked me, especially since I hadnt been vacuuming all that long, was that this little stick vacuum pulled up a fairly big wad of straight/coarse grey hair that I know does not belong to any of us in this household, man nor beast. It had to come from deep in the carpet, so I'm very impressed.

I cant quite pivot the head to get into all the corners around our recessed toilet, so for that task I have to remove the handheld. (Again, a proper side-angled narrow crevice tool would work better than the extension that comes with this vacuum.) What I love most about it, though, is that now I'll be able to go out and vacuum our truck out without having to have an extension cord. Rechargeables are wonderful, and this lithium battery will last a lot longer than a NiCad one will. The vacuum isn't noisy, either, and it does a very fine job. Highly recommended!

I love it when I can shop online and find orecks vacumm bags that I am looking for, what a wonderful product.

I always wondered if a Dyson was really worth the price premium they charge over a standard vacuum and now that I have one, I would say it is. I have one dog at home at would vacuum at least once a week with an old vacuum cleaner. Getting bags for it was a pain and I felt like I was constantly going through them in order to keep the suction strong. Finally I got tired of looking for bags for my old vacuum and upgraded to this Dyson. When I first got it, I vacuumed with my old vacuum once and then the Dyson right after. The canister was almost completely full of stuff that old vacuum missed and I vacuum on a weekly basis, so it's not like this was an overly dirty carpet.  I was very impressed. That said, if you're looking at a Dyson, it's more about picking the right model.

Good
- Suction - very powerful and constant
- Emptying dust bin - I've seen bagless vacuums before that was a dusty mess to empty. The Dyson's mechanism makes it easy and clean to empty.
- Tools - it comes with a nice assortment of tools including a power brush I use to get dog hair off furniture.

Bad
- Wand - when using the hand, the hose is relatively short. For my house it's fine, but if you have stairs, you might want to consider a Dyson Canister.
- Weight - this is a relatively bulky machine. I have no problem, but if you're a smaller person with less strength, I'd suggest paying a little more and going for the powerball model

Overall, it was a great purchase and I'd recommend the Dyson brand to anyone.

I've used the dyson animal for the past three years and after dealing with flying dust from emptying the bin to the difficulty in eliminting the dusty odor coming from the air flow, I decided to go back to the bag.  I was sure that no bagged vacuum would have as much suction, but after doing research on consumer reports and checking for on-line reviews, I purchased this hoover last week.  I can't tell you how pleased I am (after spending the past two days removing all the pet hair and dust from any surface I could find)!  I do NOT miss the dust particles flying about the air when I vacuum.  It smells cleaner, the carpet looks fresh and it did an excellent job on my kitchen floor as well.  The negative ... when you use the hand attachment, you have to stay very close to the vacuum or it immediately falls over ... maybe the hose will relax in time.  The attachments don't fit tightly on the wand, so you do have to stop to push it back on frequently.  For the cost, partcularly compared to what I paid for my dyson, this was a great buy!

Just purchased this vacuum and I have mixed feelings. It has lots of attachments but they are not on board, so if you like to clean often as I do you  will have to figure out how to carry them around the house with you or run back and forth to your supply closet.  I have read that it does not pick up welll on tile or hard wood floors.  This is a problem for me and may be a deal changer as the majority of my house is bare floors.  I will give it a few weeks to make my final decision as to whether or not to keep this vaccuum. I have noticed that having the motor at the top of the machine makes it heavy in yout hand and bothers my back. I also miss a flexible hose to get under the furniture.  I can see that the vac will be quick and easy to use which is a plus.  It did a good job on my carpets but need to test it more on bare floors. The dust cup is very easy to empty.  So far I am giving it 3 out of 5 stars.

Update:  I have been using the Shark Rocket for a few months now and I love it!  All of the negatives above have proven to be a non-issue.  The fact that the attachments are not on board are no big deal and just make the vacuum that much lighter.  The performance on tile and hardwood are good and exceptional on carpet.  It is a little top heavy however that makes the bottom very light and easy to pick up and put up on the couch, or the head can be removed and the tube is extremely light and easy to lift to any level. It assembles and dis-assembles very easily and the attachments are very easy to use. Shark does state that the filter needs to be washed each month so I ordered a second set of filters so that I could wash one set and use the other set while the first set is drying (I hate be without a vacuum for any length of time)and this works out great. The filters are also very easy to get to and wash.  I have changed my review from 3 stars to 5 stars!! Love this vac!

I hardly EVER write reviews for products unless I really feel passionate one way or the other and I must say that I absolutely love this product.  As a hand vac, It has significantly better suction than my Black and Decker and as a vacuum, it is absolutely wonderful at navigating small spaces.  I live in Florida and spend countless hours each week trying to get sand out of my house.  The ergorapido really comes in handy when I try to vacuum the stairs (a feat which I have never been able to master with my dyson).  It is extremely light weight and easy to maneuver and I can do it while holding my baby (1950's cliche, I know- but it's true). I love love love love this vacuum.
