Bissell Quicksteamer Powerbrush II - A Great Deal *****
I bought this Lightweight Carpet Cleaner with the hope of cleaning room by room of my home over time so that I wouldn't have to pay Professional Carpet Cleaners to come in once a year to clean my carpets. We recently added an "indoor" puppy to our family too, so our carpets were really taking a beating. Both my husband and I are thoroughly impressed with the Bissell 2080. We knew buying a Bissell was a good decision, but we were a little skeptical that we might should have bought a more heavy duty cleaner, but every penny counts in our household. Using the 2080 to clean a room at a time per weekend is working GREAT! We did find that the sprayer didn't meet our needs (puppy spots) - but we took the Bissell cleaning fluid, put it in a spray bottle, then sprayed everything! By the time we were finished spraying, we were ready to use the Powerbrush to run over the stains, scrub the solution and vacuum it up! The carpet looks like new -- which is an accomplishment because we're a family of 5 and that doesn't include our 2 mature dogs and our puppy! I would definitely recommend this cleaner to anyone that needs to watch their budget but also wants a really good cleaning job!
Oh, one last thing, I read this in reviews before I purchased the 2080 and it is SO true -- when you are vacuuming the cleaner out of the rug, GO SLOW!! If you go slow, you'll vacuum up the maximum amount of liquid and your carpet will dry super quick! Good luck!

Made my carpet jump back to life -
Sure I expected a new vacuum to clean my carpet better, but what I didn't expect was for my rug to look five years younger afterwards! My matted carpet was in pretty bad shape and I had little hope of it lasting much longer until I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. But after a good cleaning with this Sanitaire S782 I was very happy to see that my rug seemed to have new life in it and frankly looked like the rug was 5 years younger. I am simply amazed.

Dual motors allow for stopping the direct drive brush assembly going over hardwood floors while still providing lots of suction power which is also good for vacuuming the edges of scatter rugs so they don't get sucked up into the roller. And if something does get caught in the roller the motor shuts off instantly and automatically and you just have to hit the reset button after clearing.

This machine uses bags that are inexpensive and is rated at lightweight commercial use. It's fairly light at 14 pounds, and I like the folding handle making it easy to store away. The only con seems to be the high pitched motor noise which is annoying but I am already getting used to it.

After feeling like I was in a maze of new vacuum options I feel I made a really good choice without spending a fortune.

Absolutely love this vacume!!
After my mom purchased a Dyson Animal new last year, I fell in love with it and really wanted one for myself. She paid extra to get the attachments (like the upholstery tool and such) and those extra tools were a waste! They are cumbersome and truely useless. However, the vacume itself is wonderfull. So this Dyson DC 14 Yellow is the exact same machine as the Dyson Animal (purple) but without all the fancy attachments that honestly, no one needs. This reconditioned Dyson works just as well as my mom's new one, and is in perfect condition. The suction is seriously powerfull and everytime we vacume, we like to look in the canister and see what all it picked up. The machine works great on carpet and tile (by turning off the brush) and the wand is long and easy to use, and the canister is very easy to empty (but I recommend you do it outside or out of the way because it is a little dusty). The main reasons why I did not give it 5 stars is this: 1)You cannot use the machine itself on large area rugs that are very thick and have a backing on them - the machine can't get enough air flow through it and it makes a horrible noise (luckily, I dont' have a rug, but my mom does and she has to use the wand to vacume it). 2)When using the wand while the machine is sitting on hard surfaces (ie wood floors, tile) the suction is so powerfull that as you try to pull the wand to reach corners and such, the machine 'follows' you by rolling. On carpet, this is not a problem. But, I would still not give up this machine! I think I read a review once for a Dyson where someone complained that the canister filled up too soon (after one room they explained). Ok, hello, that means you have a seriously DIRTY carpet!! If it fills up too quickly, then it has picked up tons of dirt so the vacume did it's job. So overall, I highly recommend this vacume for all surfaces, and without all the crazy large attachments that cost extra. Trust me, you won't use them once you see how hard they are to use.

A Strong Sweeper
The people at Shark and Euro-Pro cleaning companies have always known how to make so many great products with vacuums, and carpet sweepers. Nevertheless, when it comes down to it, it really is on how well the vacuum really lasts. Shark's previous cordless sweepers have all done a great job at picking up after everyday messes, but they have been some glitches. I was honestly very skeptical with the latest model when I saw it on television, and I liked it a lot, but as I started to use it, I was hoping for just a bit more. Here is my verdict.

The Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper is the latest in Euro-Pro's well-recieved carpet sweeper line. This one does a good job at picking up after pet hair and fuzz, and is very simple to setup. You can pick up actually a lot of pet hair, fuzz, or anything off your floors and carpets. It is easy to charge up, and does really works well. The no-mess dust cup is very simple to clean up, and easily removes all that was picked up from the floors. The vacuum is also very easy to carry around, and take from room to room, without feeling the drag of carrying around your vacuum and getting a backache.

That is what I think, even though there really are a few problems that still make could've been a bit easier to pick up after. The first problem deals with the battery. ou have to really keep the sweeper plugged in to your outelt for at least a day, inorder to fully charge a the battery. The VX3's battery also could've had a bit stronger battery life than just an hour long. The second problem deals with the backsaver feature. While the VX3 does pick up well, and is easy to operate, I had a tricky time manuvering the VX3 with the backsaver handle. While the concept is ingenius at folding the handle to make it easier at picking up under the beds and those hard-to-reach areas, it is honestly a little bit harder to control and steer the sweeper.

Still, despite a few problems with the Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper, I still think it is a very good buy for anyone who wants a easier way to clean up after all those messes on the floor. It just does a great job at really cleaning up your floors and is great for small homes and apartments, or any home that works at a great pace. While you can get this though the As Seen On TV ads, you also can find this at your nearest Macy's for around $70, instead of getting both the VX3 and VX1 models like the infomercial says in its offer for $130. So, suck those problems on the floor away, and try this sweeper out.
