I am a vacuum collector and I own nearly 30 vacuums. My favorite vacuums are Kirby, Dyson , sanitaire, and shark. Shark is the best vacuum I could recommend for the money. Model nv352. It’s $134 at Walmart and it has so many features and will last a long time.

I just bought this vacuum today and didn't realise how small it was, put it together and had to laugh at how cute it looked but then I tried it and was shocked at how well it worked! It worked better than my full size eureka. I have 3 cats & 1 dog and it picks up fur great on the high pile rug in the livingroom. Love it! It cost $75 CAD at Walmart.

I have retrieved 5 others from the dumpster and cleaned and tested them. The large SHARK has been my favorite of them so far.😊

I LOVE my compact PowerForce!! I had recently bought a larger powerful One, but was experiencing trouble with my back, and decided to get a lightweight one. I LOVE THIS ONE!! It's POWERFUL & gets the job done, & it's SO much lighter & easer to move around. It's strong, easy to assemble, & I love being able to take it apart easily & wash it. I also added a fleece filter on the other side of the inner sponge filter. (there's already a white one on one end, but this one (just trace black sponge filter & cut to size) helps trap dirt, keep black filter cleaner, & I just wash it off & reuse it, with the rest of the stuff. (recommend you wash your vacuum often enough, after every or atleast every 2 uses) to keep dust & dirt from eating into parts & wearing them out earlier. It's well made, strong, durable & I bought ANOTHER as a gift for an elderly lady who LOVES hers too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AMAZING VACUUM CLEANER!!

Hi, Alyson!! I haven’t used a vacuum in years (except for the shop vac I use for my car) since we don’t have any carpet. I have been frustrated in the past with vacuum cleaners that are complicated to use. So, if I needed a vacuum then this one seems like a great option!! My cats would probably be afraid of a loud one too!! Lol they watch everything I do with such curiosity 😂

@nonelost1 Жыл бұрын

I recently found a Bissell power force compact model 2112R by a dumpster. I cleaned it out, but the belt is busted because brushroll is seized on it. The brushroll seized because it got jammed up with cat hair. Yeah it’s cheap and it’s light but you got to frequently clean the cat hair out of the brush roller. I might recommend this model for people in small apartments, who have no pets.

I purchased this product today and have been using it for the last hour It is lightweight, user friendly, and picked up a lot of dog hair. The canister part is small so I had to empty it quite often, but that is ok with me. I knew it was time to empty the canister when the pet hair and dust stopped spinning. Overall, I thik it is a nice vacuum for the price of 53.00 at Walmart. Just as a not, I have an expensive Dyson. This vacuum is very lightweight and easy on my 69 year old spine. I am glad I bought it. I watched your video when I got home and agree with what you said concerning it being lightweight and easy to empty. Thanks for the video. 😀

When you push down the floor release, does the hose (for the floor part) rub up against the plastic part where the brush roll is? Sorry if I didn’t word that right, but like the little bottom hose runs against the plastic when I push the pedal release.. Does yours do the same?

I just found one today, at at a "leave something - take somethig shed at our recycle center, for FREE. I turned it on and it made a powerful noise. It was covered in dust, so I started taking it apart, and I found the hose at the base, the hole into the cannister and the clear circular thing inside the cannister to be completely clogged up. I found the filter completely covered in lint and dust as well. Whoever left it at the "free shed", probably though it didn't work, when it appears they never thought to clear any clogs. I cleared all the clogs & washed the filter out. I have to let the filter dry overnight, then I'll try it again. The things I love about these type vacuums are: 1. They're bagless, so there's nothing to have to keep buying. Being bagless, also makes them more environmentally friendly, as there doesn't need to be gazillions of bags from all the owners being trown out and ending up in landfills and more economical, as bags don't need to keep being purchased. 2. They're super easy to understand how to use, aka they're very user friendly. 3. The removable parts are easily washable, even the filter. 4. The versatility, of being triple use, of carpets, bare floors and non floor uses.

Thanks for sharing . I bought this exact vaccum earlier this year and I just decided to put together today. The only thing I did not like was the hole at the top of the handle. It's pretty strange Make you think your supposed to expect something to be in that place. Anyone else notice that ?

@TheOptimalLife 2 жыл бұрын

You’re welcome! I think you can run the hose through that hole as well, although check the directions first!

@shaelastrata1584 7 ай бұрын

I thought that too, until I saw a video, and the hole, is to attach the hose to after separating it from the base, which creates a movable wand. Just put an attachment like the crevice tool on the other end, and you can do window sills, vehicle seats & floors, and other non floor places. It's really ingenious.
