Hoover LINX Stick and LINX Hand Vacuum Combo Pack for $247.50

Cheap Hoover LINX Stick and LINX Hand Vacuum Combo Pack Discount Review Shop



Over the years I've gone through a Shark, Eureka, and Electrolux cordless vacuums. The Shark wasn't bad but emptying it without making a mess was a pain. It was good for getting pet hair off a carpet and great on hard floors, but not great at picking up carpet dirt. The Eureka was probably the worst. It didn't work well on floors or carpet and was really cheaply made. The Electrolux was well made but too under powered. It's also hard to push across carpet making it a mediocre hard floor vacuum. The detachable hand vac made it slightly more useful, but not enough for me to recommend it.

So to say that the Hoover Linx is the best battery powered vacuum on the market it not making a bold statement. The competition is pretty weak. Hoover doesn't have to work hard to be better. For the most part Hoover wins on all counts: it's a decent carpet vacuum, a very good hard floor vacuum, it's well made, and the battery initially holds a decent charge(about 10 minutes of run time). The hand vac is a separate unit but it's far better than the built-in hand vac in the Electrolux. If you are looking for the best battery power vacuum on the market, this is it.

What are the downsides?

Cost: for half the price of this vacuum you can get a much better corded vacuum and a good battery powered hand vac. If you are on a budget the Linx simply isn't a good value. It's not powerful enough to replace a corded vacuum, it just means you don't have to break it out as often.

Suction: while far better than any other battery vacuum it's not nearly as powerful as the cheapest corded vacuum.

Noise: it's louder than any other battery powered vacuum I've owned and louder than some corded vacuums.

Battery: After about a year the Lithium Ion battery wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few minutes and replacement batteries are .

So if money isn't an issue this is the best on the market. If you are trying to watch your budget get a corded vacuum or get the Shark.

Bissell Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea, 1867-7 for $70.00

Cheap Bissell Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea, 1867-7 Discount Review Shop



This works great. It's chemical free and the floors are left clean with no sticky residue. It is a lot quicker than doing floors by hand or with other mops. It even steams the hairspray off the bathroom floor with ease.

Some reviews express concerns because it leaves water residue behind, and it doesn't pick up debris off the floor. As for the debris, you simply have to sweep the floor before washing it, just like you normally would before mopping. As for the water, it does leave a wet residue but it dries quicker than other washing methods. I would't use it on wood floors due to this, but it works great on other hard floors.

Overall, it's been a huge time saver, it works great, and it's chemical free. Highly recomended for anyone with lots of hard floors to wash.

Black & Decker PSV1800 18-Volt Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner for $84.97

Cheap Black & Decker PSV1800 18-Volt Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner Discount Review Shop



I have a fairly cramped home office with large furniture and two computers, along with two full surge suppressors and a printer stand. I also have two cats and a fairly severe dust allergy. I needed something light, small, maneuverable and powerful enough to get up dust and regular re-applications of cat hair among all the cords and equipment. My home is a two-story new build with those annoying outlets that cut the circuit breakers if you plug anything into them that it detects as surge-y, so I was having to run my big upright vacuum cleaner from downstairs off a very long extension cord. Big pain. Not to mention that the big upright doesn't go under my desks easily.

I can now use this handy little vacuum to keep my office much cleaner. I can easily get around the computers and surge suppressors, which I have up off the floor using wire shoe racks. This vacuum even fits under the printer stand, which is fairly low to the ground. Being cordless, it also makes vacuuming the carpeted stairs from the first to second floors a much, much easier job than it used to be. Unlike another reviewer, I have had no problem with pet hair gunking up the beater bar. Given how much I empty out of it, it seems to pick up cat hair very, very well. First time I vacuumed my small office, I swear I got enough pet hair to make a third cat.

The vacuum on its charger just sits next to my recycling bin and takes up very little floor space.

Euro-Pro Shark V1725 Quick-and-Quiet 10-Inch Cordless Sweeper

Cheap Euro-Pro Shark V1725 Quick-and-Quiet 10-Inch Cordless Sweeper Discount Review Shop



I love my shark. My original is almost five years old. I haven't had any battery or handle-breakage issues. The directions state to not leave the unit charging when not in use and to only recharge when the battery is low (you'll be able to tell--it sounds weak.) I use it briefly almost every day and maybe charge it once or twice a month. I've used this through two babies (they sleep right through it whereas my main vacuum wakes them up.) It picks up everything they throw on the floor--cheerios, bits of foods, scraps of paper, etc.

I also have the multi-speed version. It is a little louder, but it has a powered brush roll option--I think I like my original "plain" shark the best. But both are great. They aren't a substitute for a regular powered vacuum, but they get the junk up off the floor and do a good job in between.

FYI--The company website has replacement batteries AND a "contact us" link at the bottom of the webpage: www.sharkvac.com

Eureka Easy Clean 2 and 1 Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner Stick Vac for $44.99

Cheap Eureka Easy Clean 2 and 1 Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner Stick Vac Discount Review Shop



I bought this vacuum about a month ago, and it has really impressed me! I wanted something that I could quickly take out and take care of every-day dirt and pet hair in between thorough vacuuming, and this does the trick! It has enough battery life to take care of nearly every room in my 1200 sq.ft house (again, for quick jobs) and has enough suction to pick up larger dirt chunks and cat food pieces. I don't use the rug function for much, and I imagine that the battery life will be decreased if you use it more, but for wood/linoleum floors, it does great!

Shark Multi-Vac, NH15 for $35.95

Cheap Shark Multi-Vac, NH15 Discount Review Shop



This is a fantastic vacuum cleaner! I read a few reviews that had mentioned how complicated the set-up is. One reviewer mentioned that it required a degree in rocket science to assemble.

I was hesitant to purchase this vacuum based on those reviews. I am not mechanically inclined, and did not want to buy a vacuum cleaner that I could not properly operate. However, I have heard great things about the Shark line of vacuum cleaners. That their 0 vacuums were on par with products that cost over 00. The Shark Multi-Vac is currently at a 0 discount. It is under . It is hard to pass up. The discount also made me a little suspicious of the quality. I bought the vacuum cleaner.

It took three business days to arrive via FedEx.. I took it of the package and my immediate thought was that designers of this device had the Jetsons in mind. It does look like something from the future.

The Vacuum was difficult to assemble. This is due to a non-intuitive design and a lack of proper instructions. However, after twenty minutes, I had the vacuum put together and realized that in retrospect it really isn't that difficult. Changing between functions is also, not difficult.

I noticed some people complaining about the location of the on/off switch. It is located on the front of the unit, in the middle. It is not the inconvenient. Perhaps for a pregnant women, because it does require that you bend down, but only slightly.

This vacuum is incredibly strong, and I would not recommend using it on delicate carpet. I have berber capet and linoleum, so the vacuum is perfect. There are no brushes, so it will not ruin hardwood or linoleum floors. There is a pet hair attachment with rolling brushes which works great.



For the price, the value is irresistible. The vacuum is so efficient that I would gladly pay full price for this unit.

Cheap Dirt Devil Swift Stick Discount Review Shop



I bought this a week ago and am very pleased. It picked up dust and debris from the baseboard area of the carpet and easily picked up dirt the kids tracked in. Cleaning the stairs was very easy given how light the vacuum is. It moves from carpeted areas to hardwoods with no difficulty.

On the downside, some of the components, such as the cord holder, seem flimsy. Also, the handle tends to twist slightly. These could be bigger problems later.

Cheap Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Stick & Hand Vac, EL1012A 1 ea Discount Review Shop



I purchased the first one of these back in 2004 at the hardware store. It was perfect except that it had pads instead of rollers that would come off after some time. I would scratch my hardwood floors. By that time, it retreated to the basement for easy cleanup. I missed it so much on the main level of my house I purchased another one. A shark. AWFUL. It only lasted about 5 months and really stunk when it came to picking up small fine crumbs. This time Electrolux changed their design and had rollers. AWESOME. I purchased it and it has been wonderful. I've had the "green" colored one for almost two years, and it is still going strong. No this is not a regular vacuum as I have a Rainbow Vacuum, but after dinner, it is perfect to clean up the kitchen and run over the rest of the house. I have a cocker spaniel, three year old, and a wonderful hubbie who ALL take off their shoes or clean their feet prior to entering the house. But of course, we still get little stuff inside.

To show you how much I love this vacuum, I purchased one for my mother in law, and a friend of ours who lets us stay at her cabin in Washington. Then years later, I tried to talk my parents into buying one and they never would, so for xmas I purchased one for my dad as a joke. My dad has said dozens of times that it was the best gift he ever has received. My dad has never cleaned house in his life until he retired. Now he helps my mom and she has made comments that her kitchen has never been so clean on the floor. My dad vacuums almost every day. His pet peave is when he is walking across the floor and can feel dirt. He hates that, so he vacuums for my mom. Last, I was on the computer purchasing one for my husbands grandmother. She is turning 90 and she keeps her house perfectly. I thought this would be easier for her and she would enjoy it. No I am purchasing my 6th one for myself or someone else.

Love the vacuum and will buy another one when this one dies. 0 is not that much when you look at how much I use it.

With great trepidation I ordered this filter for my Shark vacuum. I had looked all over and couldn't find one that fit. I figured this wouldn't fit either and I'd have to return it. To my surprise it fit! It is even better than the original in that it has an extra flat filter to go along with this one, too!

Receiving this was like receiving a Christmas gift in May! Thank you!

Eureka 108A Easy Clean 2-in-1 Stick/Handheld Bagless Vacuum Cleaner for $49.99

Cheap Eureka 108A Easy Clean 2-in-1 Stick/Handheld Bagless Vacuum Cleaner Discount Review Shop



I purchased this vacuum when I got tired of lugging out the big vac to keep up with dog hair and kid crumbs. Sweeping just made things worse by making the dog hair fly around instead of helping.

So, solution...a lightweight cordless vac WITH a small duster for sofas. This vacuum has been perfect for our family. The battery lasts long enough (10-15 minutes) for me to relatively thoroughly clean the kitchen floor and then the other 3 rooms that are wood floors. The dog hair and crumbs are picked up between thorough floor cleanings which is exactly the thing I needed. The removeable "dustbuster" is perfect for crumbs and hair on furniture and in tighter corners. This vacuum is not meant to be the end all vacuum for your house. It is perfect for the 1-2 times a day you may want to keep doghair and crumbs in check. I leave this vacuum in the laundry room plugged is so it is always ready to go.

There is an unexpected added bonus...my boys LOVE to use it! It is the perfect weight and height (with the handle down) for kids! They get it out and put it away on their own. I rarely let them sweep with a broom because it just made more work for me, but now I have to keep them from fighting over it:)

So, if dog hair and dirt acculumate quickly in your house and you dread pulling out the big vac to keep up and sweeping frustrates you, this is the vacuum for you.

We live in the country and have three dogs and most of our floors are tiled. This vacuum does a good job of cleaning up the dirt and hair quickly and easily. It was delivered quickly and was easy to assemble. I like that it's light weight and the dust cup is easy to remove and empty. I've also used it to vacuum out the lint trap in the dryer and on the low-pile rugs in the kitchen and bathroom and it works okay for those too.

The price is right and I highly recommend this stick vacuum.

This is a great little Stick Vacume. Powerful enough to pick up Sand plus all the little lint stuff that gets onto carpets. So easy to switch between floors and carpets. You will not be disappointed. I originally had a Swiffer electric broom, but that does NOT do the small carpet runners at the door or in the living room and when you need convenience to do both, the Flair Stick Broom does the job. Do not hesitate to get this one. I searched for a good one and glad I picked this one.
