Bissell 755A Lavender Essence Fiber Cleaning Formula 128 oz.

Great suction power but my ear is ringing!!
I purchased this 12 amp Dirt Devil after my 6 amp Eureka broke from 3 years of weekly use. I was very happy with my original 6 amps of power. However, I decided it was time to double up since I live with two cats that constantly shed. The DD does a great job at picking up furballs, sand, dirt, crumbs, small pebbles and many more from my hardwood and tile floors. Besides a great suction power, the DD is also light weight and stands up on its own. However, there are many drawbacks:

1) Too LOUD!! I wear ear plugs every time I use this machine (seriously!!). We already know it has 12 amps of power... we don't need to hear it!

2) The handle is too short. I am 5 feet 6 inches and I honestly feel that the handle is about 2-3 inches too short. I constantly find myself bending my back while using this machine.

3) The vaccum head does not swivel. I loved the fact that my old Eureka had the ability to swivel. It definitely made vaccuming easier.

4) Air shoots out of the side vents, which blows away what I need to suck up from the floor. This is really annoying since I have to "chase" what I want to vaccum.

5) Too big to go under my sofa. I can only get the vaccum head underneath. The entire body will not fit because is too big. I have to clean the remaining 2-3 feet of space with a swifter.

Although the DD does have excellent suction power, I prefer my old 6 amp Eureka, which cleaned just as well, without the loud engine! If you don't want to run around chasing your dirt while wearing ear plugs, then pass up this DD and buy another vaccum.

Woolite Heavy Traffic Carpet Cleaner vs. Kirby Carpet Cleaner
I used the woolite heavy traffic carpet cleaner, it worked great for me on the upstairs carpet, at first you could see how dirty the carpet was when you walked into the house, but know it looks just like it did when we first brought the house. I was scared at first because I throught it was going to changed my carpet color, high quality of the carpet thickness of it I did not think it would clean it... But it did and I was very pleased...I brought a Kirby vaccum with a carpet cleaner which it does't clean like the woolite heavy traffic carpet cleaner does..

Better Than A Dustbuster, But Not Great...
The Dirt Devil Scorpion is a decent hand vac in the sense that it picks up more than the average dustbuster, however I don't think it's the best hand vac you can buy out there on the market. The flip down crevice tool is a convenient feature on this, since you don't need to store it elsewhere. Nice idea. My main complaints on this model are the fact that the suction hole is very small (about 2"x1"), making it hard to pick up an area without going over the same spot 3-4 times. Also you can't rinse out the inside filter cup without destroying it, and the manual tells you not to do so. You can only shake the dust off or brush it off, which isn't so easy to do. It is very light and portable, however & easy to hold on to. Not the best, but not the worst.

Great for Carpet
I bought the Bissell Velocity 3950 when my last Bissell's motor blew up (I had had that one for four years). I really like the air filter light that lets you know if you need to change the filter. I'm not very good at doing that (which is why my last one blew up) and this has a nice warning light to remind me.

I LOVE what it does for my carpets. My husband says they have not this good since we moved in. I like in Oklahoma and we have that nasty red clay that gets everywhere. With two kids, my husband and my dog we put good wear on the carpet and this brings it back to life.

I cannot, however, give it a 5 star because it IS NOT A HARD FLOOR CLEANER. If you want something that can do both, this is not the machine to buy. The brush does not turn off when you put it on the "bare floor setting." So it kicks more of the dirt up on your feet than it does suck it in.

Hands down this is a great vacuum for carpet, but I am now in the market for something for my bare floor areas.

Great Little Man
If you're looking for a small Shop Vac, this is the one. For some reason, in my mind's eye, I thought this would be bigger. It's powerful for its volume capacity. It's cute and easy to maneuver around.
