Dyson DC17 Total Clean Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ever since I starting hearing the hype from Dyson about their vacuums i've been skeptical.From an industrial design stand point they are works of art, however, the intended functionality remained in question.I've owned Hoover, Dirt Devil, Rainbow and Kirby.The Rainbow was the vacuum we had growing up and the water filtration really seemed to make sense.My stint with Kirby was a 30 day in home trial.The vacuum was amazing but I decided to save the $1800 I paid and buy something much less expensive (sub $100 believe it or not).That sub $100 vac was a Dirt Devil bag-less that frustrated me every time I used it.This time around I wanted to pay a little more for a good solid cleaning machine and after 3 weeks of research I narrowed by search to the following:
- Kirby
- Oreck
- Dyson
- Electrolux

After another week of research I narrowed it to Oreck and Dyson.Oreck has a really cool program where you pay for 25% of the vacuum up front and then make monthly payments no interest for 11 months on the balance.This makes it easy to pay for a more expensive vac over time.I was leaning toward the Oreck DutchTech 1400B canister vac.Oreck's top of the line.The total cost of the vac shipped was about $970.00.I had the vac in my shopping cart about 2 or 3 times over the course of a couple days but could never quite hit the purchase button.The main reason being I wasn't quite sure about pulling around a canister vac, the second was the price.I had seen refurbished Dyson's on [...] for $209 in the past and that was less than just the initial payment alone on the Oreck, not to mention another 11 months of about $70 per month...so I held off.Another week passed and I noticed [...] had a refurbished Dyson DC17 platinum blue for $237.00 shipped.I had researched this vac extensively and knew it had Dyson's newest Level 3 Root Cyclone technology for the purest separation and filtration of particles of all the Dyson vacs.I snatched it up figuring a $500.00 vac should be worth the purchase at less than half price.3 days later the Dyson arrived.Keep in mind that I have a house cleaner that comes every 2 weeks and cleans the house top to bottom so my place isn't dirty, the carpets are well kept and it's neat etc.The Dyson immediately had a field day with the carpets sucking up so much stuff that I had to wonder, did my old vacuum do anything at all???The Dirt Devil was immediately tossed in the trash.The Dyson sucked up so much stuff it made me sick to look at it!Every aspect of this machine is truly everything that Dyson claims it to be.Zero suction loss, extremely well built, very smooth sounding motor, extremely high speed brush roll, no non-sense, easy to use operation, ingeniously designed attachments and tools, simple, smart operation and enough suction to pull your carpets from the floor boards!The Kirby was an amazing machine from two standpoints.Suction and construction.If I were in a vacuum demolition derby i'd take the Kirby any day of the week, it's all steel and built like a tank.As far as suction goes, the two are as equal as you can measure without scientific equipment.My Dyson actually fell down about 8 stairs tonight as I was vacuuming the stairs and not one part broke, it kept on sucking so it's not brittle or prone to breakage under normal conditions.One thing I never liked about ANY of the vacuums i've owned is the smell you get when using them.They all just have that yucky dusty vacuum smell.The Dyson claims that stated the air the Dyson outputs is cleaner than the air it took in always seemed ludicrous to me.How could that be?I'm finally a believer.I'm not sure if it's the filter in the Dyson or if there's some sort of smell pack in there?If there is it's certainly not stated, but the air the Dyson outputs smells very good and is just....I guess fresh.It's hard to explain but it does seem to eliminate any odors that may have been in the air before vacuuming.It's pretty amazing...my best guess is that it does filter the air to be cleaner than it was before it got sucked it.Absolutely amazing.

One thing I have to mention is the Dyson mini turbine head.I purchased this separately.It retails at most places for $69.99 but I got it at Fry's for $49.99.I was VERY skeptical about this and figured i'd be returning it the next day.If you've ever used a non powered brush roll (suction powered) you know that most of them stop the moment they touch carpet or anything for that matter.There is simply no torque to turn the brushes.Even my Kirby had an air powered attachment that spun brushes that weren't good for anything.I couldn't fathom how the Dyson could be any different but I figured i'd give it a shot.I thought well, as the company slogan goes, maybe Dyson is different?One word.Unbelievable!!!The Dyson mini turbine head is nothing sort of a remarkable piece of engineering.There is a tiny turbine that spins insanely fast from the suction and it must be geared just right.Honestly, the brush roll is actually hard to stop and it keeps spinning as it brushes the carpet.It is possible to stop with your hand but not without some very firm pressure.Even then once stopped, you can feel the torque attempting to spin the brush roll.If you were blindfolded you'd swear it was electric motor powered...it's honestly THAT GOOD.Combined with the pull out handle that extends into a full 3' cleaning wand with 17' hose coil, the upright now essentially becomes a canister vac and you no longer have to bend down at all to clean stairs or vacuum a small patch of carpet or hard to reach areas.The ergonomics and usability are world class.

If I knew long ago what I know about owning a Dyson now, I would have paid full price for the machine ($500) and felt like I was getting a good deal.This vacuum is worth $1000...$2000 dollars.It's simply an amazing cleaning machine that definitely needs to be classed up there with the Oreck and Kirby ultimate cleaning machines of the world.Way to go Dyson, you've made a customer for life.

Rainbow Vacuum E-2 Type 12 2-Speed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My main problem with the Rainbow is how it it sold.You have to let the salesperson into your home and they have that darn referral program.But with all that it can do, you really need a presentation.We bought our Rainbow on the spot and have never regretted that decision.We have 2 big, shedding dogs.I have bought the most privey Hoovers and Bissels but none would get rid of that dog smell or fur.The Rainbow purifies the air (also deodorises) as it vacuums.Powerful suction allows you to clean fans, blinds etc. effortlessly.We also have the carpet and floor cleaner.Although more cumbersome than an upright, it does a better job than others that I have tried - even the commercial Rug Doctors.This machine is not for people looking for ease of use.But if you want deep down cleaning, nothing else compares.Tip:when emptying out the canister, sift it so that only the dirty water goes into the toilet.Dump the rest of the clumped dirt and hair into a trash can.We bought our whole system for $1800 and it is still doing a wonderful job.You can also use the Rainbow to blow inflatable pools up and as a small wetvac.

Product Description:
If you've never used a Rainbow, you're in for a shock. With regular upright bag vacuums, dust particles escape through the pinpoint size holes in the bags. The water canister that sits under the Rainbow actually traps dirt, dust, etc. in the water as you vacuum. You actually see the water getting darker and darker. You can vacuum everyday with a regular bag vacuum cleaner and still not get your carpet as clean as you can with one pass of the Rainbow!

Rainbow eSeries Vacuum 1 Speed e Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
-When you use a conventional vacuum cleaner, you see dust blown all over especially if you look with the sun rays streaming through your window. You see a much big difference using this vac. One of our sons have bad allergies and this helps a lot.
-You not only see the difference, you also feel that you are breathing much cleaner air.
-No expensive bags to buy

Cons:
-It is heavy as a bulldozer. Imagine hauling it up and down the stairs. This is the reason we use this vac not as often as our other regular vac. My wife has to call me to help tugging it along.
-Price - too much! We got it half price, but probably we still paid too much.
-Maneuverability. Annoying and it really needs some muscle to work with it.
-You also need to clean the vacuum every single time you use it. No, you cannot wait until the bag is full - there is no bag. It has a canister that you fill halfway with water and if you do not clean after each use, it grows bacteria and smells like a dead skunk. Believe me, we have done that.
-It is a hassle to use. Need assembly every time you use it.
-So loud

ROTHO Twin TT Water-Filtration HEPA Canister Vacuum Cleaner by Robert Thomas LP Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just love this vacuum.My cleaning woman loves it, too.At the beginning I thought I made a mistake because it takes some reading to understand how it works.However, if one takes the time, this machine it's incredible.the first thing I noticed was the clean odor when vacuuming.I don't have to put any kind of deodorant or pellets in the bag.Secondly, as you vacuum longer with it, the amount of soil in the container dimishes and now it takes about an hour of vacuuming before we have to change the water.We have tested it on rugs, upholstery and windows, and once you get to know how it works, it's really good.I am very happy with my ROTHO Twin TT and as much as I love my Miele, this one has become the queen, in my house.

Aroma sai AVC2001 Bagless HydroPur Filtration Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was extremely pleased by the vacuum at first.It had a lot of suction power, it was relatively easy to use on our hardwood floors and it took care of the dust and cat dander like a charm. Compared to our floor shark it was a dream come true.

Then I went to empty the water canister out into the toilet. The hair and dust had lumped together in a disgusting mass.Fantastic, look at all the nasty that is no longer lying around my house.Once I duped the solid mass into the toilet I tried rinsing out the tank only to discover that it was extremely difficult to rinse all the residue out of the tank due to its design.Its not an empty tank, has a number of protrusions which tend to trap dirt and you can't get your hand in there to scrub it out. Not being able to clean the tank out properly means that a layer of crap builds up that even a strong hot bleach solution can't clean out.When I turn the vacuum on it emits a swamp stench.
