Better than exspensive cordlees vacs.

It has great suction for a cordless hand vac . Works well on hard wood floors , tile and other hard surfaces really well . Works great for quick clean ups , just what I wanted it for .  Plus Makita's cordless tools are one of the strongest line of cordless tools in the industries. And the battery works for all the 18 volt lithium tools.

These are so much easier to clean than the one that came with my vacuum!  I've only had one in the vac for a couple of weeks, so don't know how it will hold up long-term, but the plastic "over-screen" really keeps the dog hair and dust bunnies from getting imbedded in the filter itself.  I threw away the original filter after about 6-8 uses.  Hoping these will last the advertised few months.

This vacuum replaced a very clunky Kenmore upright and weighs probably half as much.  Works well on all surfaces.  It would be even better if the cord was twice as long.

My former ionic room deodorizer quit working and I was going to choose the same one to replace it until I browsed a little further... While the former was very good this one is better for a couple of reasons: it's QUIET. The former had a loud little motor. It does NOT have the ion smell ( swimming pool smell ). It has a NIGHT LIGHT.

As with the former, this works really well if not to better eliminate odors.

Vac  is appealing in appearance, but seems to underperform compared to the original SHARK cordless vac I have.  Original vac was less costly (about four yrs. ago), and is still being used.  Shark does make a nice product which is convenient to use in place of a regular corded vac.  I have recommended the Shark cordless to both family members and friends as a decent fast cleanup device.

Ultrapower Wireless Vacuum Cleaner
Manufacturer: Electrolux
Amazon price: $249.00

Cordless stick vacuums that utilize battery power have come a long way. This powerful unit from Electrolux is well-made (in Hungary) and has super maneuverability. The head rotates a full 180 degrees. It has a low profile with LED headlights allowing it to clean under furniture and beds easily.

Electrolux is a well-known brand that has seen generations of users. A reputation like this is valuable and it looks like this new machine has been engineered and manufactured to live up to the companys high standards.

We have a Hoover Cordless Air and the comparisons are enlightening. The prices are similar. First of all, the Electrolux machine is much quieter even though its rotating brush runs constantly. Hoovers is switched on and off separately on demand. The Electrolux has three power settings. Essentially, low, medium, and high. I sense that the Electrolux is a bit more powerful than the Hoover.

There are some downsides in this comparison  The Electrolux has a single removable 25.2 volt lithium battery that must be charged in the vacuum while it is on its stand (4 hours). The battery is rated to provide up to 60 minutes of run-time. The Hoover includes two batteries and a separate charger. If you run out of power, you just swap in a fresh battery. With the Electrolux, you're out of luck until you recharge. Electrolux sells extra batteries but each has to be charged individually in the vacuum on its stand. The light-weight charging stand is plastic and putting the vacuum on it is a bit clattery (it can be wall-mounted which will help). There are annoyingly bright orange lights on the front of the vacuum. They blink in rotation when the battery is charging and blink slowly and continuously when fully charged. If the vacuum is stored in a place where it can be seen, the lights can be intrusive. I use a two-inch piece of black tape to cover the lights.

The dust container holds about a pint of debris. The Hoovers dust capacity is roughly double that.. Dumping it out is fairly easy with both. The Hoover includes two washable dust filters so one is always ready to use. The Electrolux uses a small fabric dust cone in a plastic frame. Cleaning this is fiddly. There is a snap-spring handle that ejects most of the dust but if you really want to clean it thoroughly, you can wash and dry it.

The Electrolux includes a clever cleaning cycle for the roller brush. Hair and pet fur can clog the brush in any vacuum cleaner and the Electrolux has a pedal that actually cuts through much of the collected hair. If hair and thread gets wound in the Hoover, it has to be combed out and cut out by hand. With long-haired pets like ours, we have to do this often.

This is a good, powerful vacuum for small homes or apartments. No stick vacuum is appropriate for whole-house cleaning with heavy rugs or wall-to-wall carpeting. For quick touch-ups, cleaning the kitchen, pet hair, or a quick prep before guests arrive, this vacuum cant be beat. Because it is cordless, its a snap to grab for a quick clean up anytime.

The best carpet cleaner bissell ever made. This is my 3rd bissell carpet cleaner. They have come a long way from their original product.
Pros: Better Intake and take design.
  Easy to clean tank and brush components. (The last 2 would always clog up with dirt)
  Better suction. (The carpet is more drier)
  Less use of the cleaning agent

Cons: Cord is too short.
  Comes with only one 3" brush attachement

I have had many other hand vacs and I think this one has the best suction and features...a bit pricey but worth the money.

This CORDED HOOVER vacuum replaced our HOOVER LINX CORDLESS vacuum & we like the corded one much better as batteries didn't last as long as we expected in the cordless one and replacing them became too expensive.

This Vac is vastly superior to any hand vac we have ever had. We have been using it for about  a year.
It is great for going out and doing the car especially not requiring a cable.
It is also great for doing our carpeted stairs and picking up spills by Grandchildren.  In many cases it's better than a dust pan and brush.

This has replaced my old Bissell Pro heat which just recently bit the dust after many years of frequent use. The first thing i noticed was that although both shampooers are made of plastic the Bissell did seem more sturdy (but it was also very heavy). As far as actual cleaning I would say they are about the same, although Hoover seems to do a much better jobs cleaning edges against the walls. Even though the Bissell had the heater to raise temperature of water, I just use hot water out of tap and it really didn't seem to make a difference. The Hoover does have a smaller path so it is a bit more work. On the plus side it does get into smaller spaces without having to use the attachments. We have wall to wall carpeting in the bathrooms (what were the previous owners thinking?) and we have young grandsons. Lets just say the smaller path of the Hoover has been very beneficial. Cleanup is where Hoover shines since you can take apart everything that might get dirty. No more nasty carpet fibers and cat hairs stuck in nozzle and dirty receptacle. Clean and dirty water receptacles easy to remove. You can even easily remove brushes to clean. Not sure I will ever use the rinse option since it seems to do a great job of pulling the majority of moisture out of carpet  and it dries very quickly. Overall am very pleased with the way my carpets look after cleaning and for the price this Hoover is well worth the money.

Finally, Black and Decker made a hand vac similar to the ones I have used for at least 20 years.  It is similar, but I hope better, because it is upgraded to 20 volt and a lithium  battery.  It is easier to charge, more powerful, and even a bit quieter. Another plus is that filters ordered from my previous hand vac FIT.

Excellent for the garage and the car.  For more suction you would have to go to a good, corded vacuum cleaner or a good shop vac.  Battery lasts long and charges fast.

Fantastic machine. We have the older version (DC56?) at an apartment location and now this one at home. These vacuums are relatively expensive compared to corded cleaners but they are uber convenient and their pick up power for both hardwood floors and carpets is excellent. You can throw out your dust buster (mine never worked very well anyway) because the motor unit with a short pickup attachment is a much better alternative. That configuration is also great for vacuuming out your car.

Great little cordless vac. It won't replace a full vacuum, but with little kids and a dog it cleans up little messes in a flash. This thing really sucks! In a good way...

on all my post i may not give a 5 star even if i like,gud,, or ok. if bad i will say so. these bags go into machine quick and easily, probly the fastes change out of any vacume i have used. they fill well but machine has cut off when near half full that it shud. so a few minutes to let moter cool down. others we used at university of nss or windsor, the janitor let overfill to top. with a sevearl spares available a change often is better.  this vacume works so much better than the sanitair pac pak vac i got months ago.

cord could be longer and a auto rewind feature would help. biggest problem is due to the shape of the vac head impossible to clean against wall in tight spaces.
