Dirt Devil Featherlite Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review
The Dirt Devil Featherlite is a bagged, upright vacuum cleaner. This vacuum has a slim and tall profile and is bright red with black accents.
We found that this vacuum is very light easy to maneuver on bare floors and carpets. While the Featherlite's ability to clean carpet was impressive for such an economical vacuum, we do not recommend using it on hard surface flooring. We actually had to get a broom out to clean up the mess this vacuum left behind after attempting to clean up various sized particles from wood floors.
The vacuum comes with three on-board attachments including a crevice tool, a brush tool and an extension wand. All of the attachments are store in the tool caddy on the back of the vacuum for easy access while cleaning.
The Dirt Devil Featherlite uses a paper bag as its dirt collection and also its main filter. You can purchase MicroFresh bags for this vacuum which claim to capture up to 99% of dust and allergens. The bag was easy and very clean to change. Additionally, the vacuum has a dirt pad that filters the exhaust. This pad can be shaken out and reused. We found that some particles are released into the air while the vacuum is on which should be considered by someone suffering from allergies.
The vacuum has a water lift of 60. Water lift is the measurement used to measure the suction strength of vacuums. We are told the average vacuum's water lift is 70 meaning the Featherlite is a little below average.
Overall, the Dirt Devil Featherlite is a very economical vacuum costing between $50-$70 dollars. At this price, we were pleased with the vacuums ability to clean carpet and its low maintenance cost. We would recommend this vacuum to someone with basic cleaning needs who needs a machine to clean their carpet. This vacuum is also a good bet for someone who is not ready to make an investment in a vacuum and needs something inexpensive.

Dyson is an innovative company that prides itself on inventing and manufacturing unique items that vastly improve on common items that are used everyday.

Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review
By Lee HarrisThe Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner is a machine that utilizes Dyson Ball technology for smooth maneuvering and comes with Root Cyclone technology to ensure that there is no clogging or loss of power. Outfitted with a telescopic wand, motorized brush-bar, lifetime HEPA filter, and on-board tool kit, the Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner is a good value at $499. A 5-year warranty on parts and labor is also included.
The Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright is a machine that has terrific suction and a lot of features. The telescopic wand extends the reach of the cleaner to about 16 feet, allowing access to ceilings as well as baseboards. The brush-bar has a switch that the operator can turn off when the hose attachment is in use. This is a nice feature because it prevents the brush-bar from over-beating the floor material underneath the vacuum. The motorized brush-bar is made with stiff bristles that agitate the carpet and bounce dirt straight into the vacuum cleaner.
The lifetime HEPA filter is washable and reduces the particles let back into the air by 150 times the ratio that went in. The 1/3 gallon hygienic collection bin empties by pressing a button and is meant to be a less messy way to empty a bin but experiences with some Dyson models have had a less than satisfactory rating with many cleaners reporting jamming and floating dust particles that seem to defy the effectiveness of the HEPA filter.
At a little over 16 lbs, the Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright is on the moderate side for weight. The 24 ft power cord is a bit short for anything other than small residential use and doesn't allow the operator enough distance to be able to go from area to area without having to unplug and replug the unit, wasting a lot of time and increasing the hassle of unplugging other electronic appliances. The reach of the vacuum cleaner extends to about 40 feet if the length of the extension wand and hose are taken into consideration with the length of the power cord.
The ball technology utilized in this model allows for more maneuverability, but can be hard to get used to. The ball glides over the flooring easily, but the motion tends to be very different from traditional vacuuming and can be too awkward for some cleaners to get used to. The proper vacuuming technique for a Dyson vacuum cleaner tends to be more like a side-to-side motion instead of the regular back and forth direction used by the majority of machines available on the market today. Some cleaners are comfortable with Dyson's ball technology and can get used to the difference while other consumers have been annoyed by its novel design and find little difference in the ergonomic switch in direction.
Overall, the Dyson DC25 is a powerful vacuum but it is not recommended for use on wool carpeting, oriental-type rugs or wood flooring because the suction can cause the machine to scratch across surfaces, damaging them in the process. The powerful suction has been known to rip individual fibers out from the carpet backing and can leaving bare spots and worn areas, especially on fine rugs and carpets made with wool.

Guide in Buying Wet Or Dry Vacuum Cleaners
Are you tired of cleaning hefty messes at home? Sometimes, even a regular vacuum cleaner is not enough to help you clean those debris and dirt like liquid spills, pet litter, garden mulch, sawdust, and many more. If you need a vacuum that can suck up anything, then it is time to invest in a wet/dry vacuum.
Check out the rest of this article for tips on getting the best wet/dry cleaning machine that sucks up dirt quickly, quietly and completely.

Hand Held Vacuum Cleaners
When we refer to hand held vacuum cleaners we mean those small portable Vacuum cleaners which were marketed to us as being a small useful cleaner that could get into those are to Vacuum places - the car or caravan for example. It was also suggested that they were great for those small jobs, where a plant was knocked over for example - no need to get the big upright out, the hand held vacuum is big enough for the job and a lot less effort to get out and put away.However in the early days of the Small hand-held vacuum cleaners, (either battery-operated or mains powered), this wasn't always the case. In the early years of development hand held vacuum cleaners didn't have a great deal of suck. Without the roller of brushes that an upright cleaner would have to beat and brush the dirt up with, the minimal suck on the hand held vacuums was left wanting. Handheld Vacuums were a great idea, but in practice they still needed developing further to really substantiate the claims and perform the same finish as the main vacuum cleaning device would perform.
If you tried a hand held vacuum cleaner when they first because widely available on the market and weren't impressed with the power and suction, maybe its time that you looked into them again now that technological advancements have been made.
Things to Consider when Choosing a Hand Held Vacuum Cleaner.
The main thing that you will be looking for when buying a hand held vacuum is the machines ability to suck as this is the only means of removing the dirt with this type of device. Look for the suction rating on the product's box or description - the higher the suction rating the more powerful the cleaner.
With a rechargeable vacuum you have the freedom of a cord free vacuum, great if you are cleaning the car or the loft and there isn't a socket handy. However, you do need to check the battery life once the battery is fully charged, and how long it takes for he battery to fully charge between uses, you don't want to run out of power half way through the job. Have a look on the side of the box for information about battery life.
Check the weight of the Vacuum - if you intend to vacuum blinds and drapes, you don't want to be holding a heavy vacuum above your head for 15 minutes or more. Make sure the vacuum is going to fit the job you want it to perform, with a weight that you can comfortably manage.
Lastly, check out the warranty on the vacuum. Some brands have more confidence in their product than others and will offer a longer guarantee on part and the product itself.
