Continue reading below for a detailed explanation on each benefit.

Which One Has Most Power?

The DEEBOT has a v-shaped main brush that allows it to do deep cleaning, similar to iRobots. In some cases, it can collect more dirt than an iRobot vacuum that is much more expensive.

The A4S performs exceptionally well for certain types of surfaces. It can pick up dirt, dog hair, cat litter, sand, and other grit tracked in by your family members.

Both the DEEBOT and A4S have multiple cleaning modes for general cleaning, running along walls, and tackling a particularly dirty spot. The difference is the A4S has a Max Mode that has more power at the cost of shorter run time.

For optimal cleaning using either appliance, make sure to remove any cords, cables, or objects on the floor that can obstruct the cleaning path of the robot vacuums. Both bots will stop if anything gets tangled or eaten accidentally, and you will have to manually untangle them.

Verdict: Tie. The DEEBOT and A4S have similar cleaning power.

Which Vacuum is Best for Carpets?

Both the DEEBOT and A4S are not made for cleaning carpets. They are both best used for handling hardwood and tile floors. That said, each appliance does have some capability to clean carpets.

The DEEBOT can clean carpets with a maximum thickness of 12 mm and light colors. The A4S also has the same limitation. For both bots, dark colored carpets or ones with black borders can disturb the infrared navigation system and make the vacuum avoid carpets entirely.

Both bots can push up or suck up light rugs. You can either put pads that keep your rugs in place or remove them entirely when you want the vacuum to do daily cleaning run.

Verdict: Tie. Both vacuums can handle carpets up to 12 mm thick.

Which One is Best for Pet Hair?

Owners of the DEEBOT say it’s a great vacuum for cleaning pet hair from floors. It’s a magnet for pet hair, sucking it all in. Tthe N79 can work for cleaning small rugs and thin carpets, but not for thick carpets.

Pet owners who use the A4S are surprised at how much pet hair it can pick up, even after they’ve cleaned the floors before with a vacuum. For both bots, the dustbin fills up quickly and you may need to clean it out after every run through the house.

Pet hair can get tangled up in both vacuums. You’ll need to clean them out after each run to make sure the vacuum runs in good condition. However, on the iLife vacuum, heavy pet hair can get clogged in the brush or not pass through the filters.

Verdict: DEEBOT. The N79 is slightly better for cleaning pet hair.

Which One Has Longest Battery Life?

The DEEBOT carries a Lithium ion battery that take 3-4 hours to fully charge, giving it power to run for 110 minutes. Ecovacs offers a one year warranty for battery replacement.

The A4S carries a Lithium ion battery that takes almost 4-6 hours to charge and giving it 120 minutes of cleaning time. The iLife A4S has some problems navigating back to the charging dock once it’s low on power, occassionally getting stuck somewhere and running out of battery.

Verdict: DEEBOT. Both have 2 hours battery life, but the DEEBOT has less problems returning to the charging dock.

Which One Covers the Most Space?

The DEEBOT has a 520 mL dustbin while the A4S has a 450 mL dustbin. With this capacity, the DEEBOT can clean around 1,600 – 2,000 sq ft of space before recharging, while the A4S cleans about 1,100 sq ft of space before running low on power.

Verdict: DEEBOT. With a bigger dustbin, the N79 can cover a larger area.

Which One is the Quietest?

The DEEBOT’s noise level is around 64 dB, similar to the noise of background conversation. The A4S doesn’t provide noise level specification, but it’s also quiet to the point that some owners are able to sleep with the vacuum running. However, the A4S Max Mode makes twice as much noise.

Verdict: Tie. Both the A4S and DEEBOT are considered quiet enough for conversation.

Do They Often Get Stuck?

The DEEBOT has a 57 mm height so it can go beneath furniture with that clearance, while the A4S has a 76 mm height. The N79 sometimes gets stuck under furniture, but the A4S receives far more complaints about this issue. Some people return the A4S since it becomes too much of a hassle.

Verdict: DEEBOT. This bot gets stuck less often compared to the iLife bot vacuum.

Which One is Compatible With Alexa?

The DEEBOT N79S version has compatibility with Alexa, while the iLife A4S has no native compatibility with smart home features.

Verdict: The DEEBOT N79S, not the N79, is compatible with Alexa.

iLife A4S Robot Vacuum Cleaner – A Little Demon that Cuts Cleaning Time

by

The iLife A4S is a great entry level robot vacuum cleaner with an affordable price. It’s best for bare floors and pet hair, but it has a navigation that users find …

Verdict: Should You Buy It?

The iLife A4S is among the most affordable options for a robot vacuum cleaner. It’s a little demon that can cut your cleaning time in half. It’s best for cleaning hardwood and bare floors, and carpets up to 12 mm thick.

This robot vacuum can cover around 1,100 sq ft during its two hours runtime before it needs to charge. It’s strong enough to keep pet hair under control, though you need to clean it after every round, especially if hair gets tangled in the main brush.

It doesn’t have any mapping function. Therefore, it will run around in random paths until it cleans the area, taking up more time than a robot vacuum with internal mapping. Still, at this price point, the iLife A4S provides a solid choice for an entry level robot vacuum.

YES, the iLife A4S is a great robot vacuum if it’s your first time owning one. It’s best for homes with mostly hardwood, tile, and bare floors, and low-pile carpets. It can pick up pet hair though some hair might get tangled. The navigation is rather quirky and takes time to cover the area.

How Good Does It Clean?

The iLife A4S has surprising suction power for a little robot. You can use it mostly on hardwood, tile, and laminate floors, and it does a decent job for low-pile carpets. This robot vacuum won’t perform well on thick carpets, and dark colored floors due to the infrared navigation system.

For the surfaces for which it’s designed, the A4S performs exceptionally well. If you have a family with children and dogs or cats, this bot can become a very helpful assistant. It can pick up dirt, dog hair, cat litter, sand, and other gunk tracked in by your loved ones.

It has four cleaning modes to fulfill various needs. Normal Mode is for ordinary cleaning, Max Mode gives you more suction power at the cost of shorter duration, Edge Cleaning is for running along walls and baseboards, while Spot Cleaning is for tackling any messes in one area.

It comes with an extra large 450 mL dustbin, making it able to cover a large area in one run. This robot vacuum is suitable for small spaces, beginning at 700 sq ft, all the way up to 2,000 sq ft. Note that the larger area you clean, the more preparation you will need to make.

For optimal cleaning and machine lifespan, make sure to remove any cords, cables, or objects along the floor that can get in the way of the A4S. If the vacuum gets tangled or eats a cable, it will stop and shut down and alert you to untangle it. Read more about how to avoid this problem below.

A quirky trait about the iLife A4S is that it doesn’t vacuum in straight lines. It cleans in random lines, covering the area slowly until it does the job. Some users find this behavior irritating, and prefer a robot vacuum that runs in straight lines. If you have that preference, you may want to choose a different brand.

Is It Good for Cleaning Carpets?

Robot vacuums in this price range aren’t the best choice for cleaning carpets. The iLife A4S itself is good for carpets up to 12 mm (around 3 inches) thick. Carpets thicker than that may be to steep for the robot to climb automatically.

It doesn’t do well for carpets that have black or dark borders. The navigation system will tell it to turn around instead. Another issue is the bot can push up or lift up kitchen mats. You may want to clear the area of mats before the robot vacuum cleans it.

Is It Good for Cleaning Pet Hair?

Living in a home with one or several pet that shed a lot can make you pull your hair. Fortunately, the A4S is capable of picking up dog or cat hair with no problems. It’s a little demon that picks up all pet hair, filling up the dustbin and keeping fur under control.

Many pet owners are surprised at how much pet hair the A4S picks up, even after they sweeped or vacuumed the floors before. Since the dustbin fills up, you ought to clean it out after every use. While doing that, it’s a good idea to untangle any hair that can get wrapped around the main brush.

However, in some cases, heavy pet hair can clog up the brush or not pass through the filters. This is a problem that doesn’t occur often, but it can be a consideration if you plan to get the A4S primarily for cleaning pet hair.

How Much Space Can It Clean?

The iLife is a match for studio apartments with an area about 700 sq ft consisting of a bathroom, living room, and kitchen. In small spaces like these, the A4S cleans thoroughly, leaving zero grit and making the floor feel spotless when you walk barefoot.

For larger areas up to 2,500 sq ft two story houses, this robot can be used but with some caveats. The battery can run up to two hours, covering about 1,100 sq ft or space. If you have a living space larger than that, the bot will have to charge before it can continue.

Make sure that there is nothing on the floor that can get in the way of the robot. A small floor plan with many corners and furniture may be difficult for the robot’s navigation. A large floor plan with open spaces will cause the A4S to take time to cover all the rooms.

Due to the random path it takes to clean, it may look like the A4S misses spots. But over time, it can cover all the areas properly. As long as you don’t micro-manage it, it will get the job done.

Does It Often Get Stuck?

Navigation is the most challenging aspect for the A4S. It does not have automatic mapping, so it will clean around randomly every time you run it. The lack of a mapping feature means the bot takes a long time cleaning since it has to do “trial and error” every time it runs.

You need to place the charging dock with 1 m free space around the sides and 2 m on the front, or else it will be tough for the bot to return home.

The bot uses infrared sensors that help it avoid falling down the stairs or off ledges. This mechanic means it also avoids dark floors or carpets. Some owners put white tape over the sensors so the bot doesn’t avoid dark colored floors. You can do this if you use the bot only on the ground floor of your home.

The machine has a 15 cm height, meaning it can go under furniture with that amount of clearance. The A4S can get stuck under furniture if the clearance is a tight fit, allowing it to enter but not exit. If it does get stuck, the robot will make a beeping sound, asking for your help to pick it up.

The beeping sound also happens if the bot gets tangled on cables or other cords. It has an algorithm for freeing itself, but in case it can’t untangle itself, it will beep and shut off. If that happens, you will need to untangle it manually.

For some owners, it’s not a big deal to get the vacuum unstuck. However, other users feel its too much of a hassle getting the A4S from under the couch and other areas it gets stuck.

They get annoyed when the bot gets stuck at night or when they aren’t at home. Not only does it become a game of hide and seek, it also means the floors aren’t cleaned and the batteries need to recharge before the bot can run again.

How Loud Is It?

The A4S emits a very quiet sound that’s barely noticeable. Some owners are able to sleep while the vacuum runs. You can watch TV or talk on the phone while having the bot do it’s routine. Note that the Max Mode will create a sound twice as loud as Normal Mode, so you may want to use that mode when noise isn’t bothersome.

How Long is the Battery Life?

The battery for the A4S is one Lithium ion battery that can last up to 120 minutes (two hours). It has a 200 – 350 minute charge time (around four to six hours). Once the battery runs out, the bot will automatically return to the charging dock to recharge the battery.

Some owners have a problem with the A4S not returning to the charging dock, even when ordered to do so. The bot passes in front of the dock and instead of returning home, it continues to wander around the house until the battery runs out.

On the other hand, most owners have no problem with the docking issue. Even in some spaces where the charging dock isn’t placed in an open area, the iLife bot can still find the dock easily.

Is It Easy to Set a Schedule?

You can use the A4S manually by turning it on when you want it to clean then put it into the dock once it’s finished. You can also program cleaning schedules, but only one schedule, such as every day at 8 AM. Unfortunately, the A4S doesn’t connect with smart home hardware, such as Alexa.

What You Get With This Vacuum

  • iLife A4S robot vacuum cleaner
  • Remote control
  • Charging dock
  • AC power adapter
  • Extra set of filters
  • Extra set of side brushes

The A4S comes with a one year warranty from iLife. Customer service is fast to respond, and in some cases, customers receive a replacement should their appliance malfunction.

The vacuum has a Japan Nidec high speed motor that gives it a powerful suction. It has a three stage filter beginning with a prefilter, a foam filter, then a HEPA filter so that it doesn’t trigger allergies when it’s cleaning dirt and dust.

Possible Troubleshooting

Other than the navigation issue, another main complaint that makes users disappointed with the iLife A4S is when it malfunctions. In some cases, the vacuum starts to develop problems over a period of time.

Some problems that occur include the robot only travelling a short distance and then shutting off. Even though the user has cleaned all the parts, it doesn’t solve the problem. In these error cases, iLife often offers a replacement if the original device still has a warranty.

How Does a Leaf Vacuum Work? What Can It Do for You?

by

Learn how a leaf vacuum works, how it’s different from a leaf blower, and what it can do for you in cleaning up leaves and maintaining a lawn.

Having to spend time and energy raking leaves is never a fun task for anyone. In these situations, a leaf vacuum can do wonders for making your life easier. Below, we will be going over how leaf vacuums work and some of the benefits they can offer.

How Does It Work?

A leaf vacuum works by using a motor to produce a suction created by intense airflow. This sucks all of the leaves and other debris into the chute and deposits it into a hopper. These can come in either gas-powered engines or electric.

Benefits of a Leaf Vacuum

1. Dry Leaves

While a blower might be the best option for leaves that are wet, a vacuum is going to be the much more efficient and effective option for leaves that are dry. Leaf vacuums can be very effective at sucking up dry leaves which can save you a lot of time not having to direct leaves into piles for pickup.

2. Getting Leaves and Debris Out of Your Gutters

Using one of these vacuums can come in handy when you are in need of something to get the leaves and debris out of your gutters. A lot of these vacuums come with attachments which will allow you to do this kind of job very easily.

3. Avoid Messing Up Flower Beds

One of the biggest downsides associated with a leaf blower is the fact it can absolutely destroy your flower beds. If you are someone that has a lot of flower beds that you don’t want to disrupt when you are cleaning up your leaves, having a vacuum will allow you to efficiently clean up the leaves without disrupting anything. It is a great option for those that are looking to make their leave cleanup job much more efficient without causing more of a mess or a problem.

As you can see, there are plenty of different benefits that a leaf vacuum can offer. It is one of the best ways to clean up your yard during the fall. If you are tired of having to manually rake your leaves or if you need a vacuum for specific tasks, it can be one of the best investments you make.

A vacuum offers a lot of different use-cases than what you would get with a leaf blower. Therefore, it can work well side by side with a blower during the fall season.

Ecovacs DEEBOT N79 Review – Win Less Time Cleaning

by

The DEEBOT N79 is a robot vacuum with a surprising performance at its price range. The pros: it sucks up dirt you didn’t know was there. The cons: it …

Verdict: Should You Buy It?

Imagine being able to sit down and read on the couch with your children after breakfast. You’re in no rush to get out the door because you’re not busy cleaning a mess. The DEEBOT hums along the floor, doing the job for you while you spend time with your kids.

You win less time cleaning.

That is the experience of a working mom who got the Ecovacs DEEBOT N79. This little guy can make your life a lot easier, especially if it’s your first time using a robot vacuum. It cleans up dirt you didn’t even know was there, and can clean places that would otherwise be a dreaded chore if you did it yourself.

At this price range, the DEEBOT gives a surprising performance. However, the main issue is that it can get stuck easily, depending on the layout of your home, especially if you have thick carpet areas and furniture with low clearance space.

YES, you should buy the N79 if you want similar performance of a Roomba without the price tag. This robot vacuum is a great fit for mostly non-carpet areas and around 1,000 square foot living space. If you have many thick carpets, or a large house bigger than 2,000 square foot, the DEEBOT may not live up to expectations.

How Does It Clean?

The Ecovacs DEEBOT has multiple cleaning modes: Auto Mode for general cleaning, Single Room mode for cleaning one room, Edge Mode for cleaning along walls, and Spot Cleaning for cleaning a particularly dirty spot.

It has around 900 – 1000 Pa of suction power. It is equipped with a v-shaped main brush, making it able to do deep cleaning, similar to iRobot vacuums. In some cases, it can even collect more dirt than the more expensive iRobot. People who own both vacuums, are surprised the DEEBOT can compete with iRobot.

This robot is recommended for 1,000 sq ft of space. But it surely can handle larger areas, even up to 2,000 sq ft. Also, if you want even more efficiency, you can get two DEEBOTs to cover every area in your large home.

Is It Good for Cleaning Carpets?

The DEEBOT is made mostly for cleaning hardwood and tile floors. It can clean carpets with a maximum pile height of 12 mm and light colors. If you have carpets thicker than 12 mm, or you have dark colored carpets (that can disturb the infrared navigation of the robot), this vacuum doesn’t give great performance.

If you have light rugs, the vacuum can push the rug, making it curl up and causing the robot to get stuck. A possible solution is to have pads that keep your rugs in place. You can also remove the rugs and other furniture temporarily so the N79 can clean floors easily.

The DEEBOT can act as a complementary vacuum that automatically cleans your floors while you handle the thick carpets with another vacuum. However, if your home is mostly rugs and carpeted areas, then you may want to choose a different vacuum.

Is It Good for Cleaning Pet Hair?

If you have dogs or cats that shed hair mostly on floors, then the DEEBOT can perform well. It can also pick up pet hair on small rugs and thin carpets. It’s able to clean up dirt and dust your pets bring from the outside, particularly your backyard.

On thicker carpets, the N79 performs poorly. It can get stuck on the edges easily, or it avoids the carpet altogether, leaving the pet hair for you to clean up.

Sometimes, pet hair can get tangled on the rotating brush. The bot will stop running and make a beeping sound. You have to remove it yourself to keep the vacuum in an optimum condition. Removing any tangled hair once a day should be enough.

Owners of the DEEBOT that live with up to nine pets at once say it is a great vacuum for cleaning pet hair from floors. They schedule the robot to clean once a day, and it makes their floors spotless from fur. As one owner says, the N79 is a magnet for pet hair, sucking it all in.

How Long is the Battery Life?

The power consists of two Lithium ion batteries. The robot takes around 3-4 hours to charge, giving it enough power to run for 100 minutes. It means the DEEBOT takes longer to charge than it does doing the cleaning.

The good news is that it has an automatic recharge function when low on battery. The bot will return to the charging dock on its own, charge, and continue cleaning after the power is full. This feature is very convenient if you need to leave the house for several hours and want the robot to clean many rooms.

Some owners feel the charging dock is too flimsy though, making it difficult for the DEEBOT to charge, as the dock gets pushed around. Other owners report that the bot can get stuck and never return to the docking bay unless they pick it up and place it there. This problem is a minor annoyance for some people, but annoying enough for others who return their vacuum for a refund.

Ecovacs offers a one year warranty for battery replacement that they’ll do for free. Outside of that, expect to pay around $25 to $35 to replace the battery.

How Much Space Can It Clean?

With a 100 minute run time, the N79 can cover around 1,600 – 2,000 sq foot of space before having to recharge. When set on auto, it can clean a larger area than that, but it will take a few hours.

You may be surprised at how much dirt it picks up when you run it the first and second time. Users who ran the DEEBOT after they vacuumed manually still find dust collecting in the robot’s bin. It’s because the bot can run under beds, sofas, and other areas that are rarely cleaned.

At first, the cleaning pattern looks erratic. You want the bot to have a steady and predictable pattern, but it can look like it’s just randomly moving about. However, over time the DEEBOT does get to all the spots in your house, if you let it. The downside is that it takes longer to clean thoroughly than doing it yourself.

How Loud Is It?

The noise level is around 64 dB when cleaning floors, quieter when on carpets. This level is similar to the noise of background conversation in a restaurant or office. It’s quieter than a Roomba, and most owners can still comfortably watch TV while the N79 runs along.

Does It Often Get Stuck?

Assuming the floor is free from obstructions, the DEEBOT can navigate your whole house very well. Things that can get in the way are cords across the floor, floor transitions that are high, and furniture with low clearing, among others.

The vacuum has a 3 inch height, so it can’t go under furniture with a clearing lower than that. It can climb over floor transitions around half an inch high, any higher and the bot may turn around. Floor vents can activate the drop sensors and make the bot turn around too.

The best solutions to prevent it from getting stuck is to clear the floors from obstacles before you turn it on. Another way is to run it for a few times and learn where it gets stuck, then remove those obstacles.

Though the DEEBOT can run smoothly once you work out the kinks, for some people it becomes troublesome. They need to pick up the bot every few minutes to get it unstuck. This issue is the number one complaint from people who are disappointed with this robot vacuum.

That said, how often it gets stuck depends on the layout of your home. If you have a narrow living space with tight areas, the DEEBOT may have a tough time navigating thoroughly.

Main Brush Malfunction

Other than getting stuck, the most complaints come from bots where the main brush malfunctions. If it occurs within one year of purchase, you are covered by the one year warranty. Ecovacs has responsive customer service that gets back to you quick.

Many problematic DEEBOTs are called and replaced with a new unit for the owner. However, if it’s pass the warranty period, then you won’t receive a replacement. Ecovacs will still help you resolve the issue if possible.

For cases where the problem persists, the owners become disappointed with the DEEBOT.

What You Get With the Ecovacs DEEBOT N79

  • Remote control with battery
  • Two side brushes
  • Charging dock and adapter
  • Sponge filter and high efficiency filter

For optimum performance and navigation, regularly clean the vacuum. Empty out the dust bin and untangle any hair in the brushes before use. If the robot starts to get problems, the first step is to clean it and see if it solves the issue.

You can control the vacuum with the remote or using the app. It requires 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi to connect your smartphone with the DEEBOT. Users who have 5 Ghz Wi-Fi switch their connection to 2.4 GHz in order to use the application.

With the app, you can set cleaning schedules for a week. However, if you need to clean the dust bin after every use (due to how much dirt the DEEBOT picks up), you will need to reprogram the schedule, since turning off the bot resets the cleaning schedule.

Unfortunately, the N79 model from Ecovacs isn’t compatible with Amazon Alexa. Ecovacs added this compatibility on the N79S model, which is a different product with almost the same features. This is the difference between the N79 and N79S models. Get the N79S if you plan on using it together with Alexa.

Where Can I Buy The Ecovacs DEEBOT?

The low price (compared to most robot vacuums) may make you think it’s cheap and clunky. Most people do think this way, but they find out the DEEBOT is a powerful little guy.

You can occasionally save money buying the DEEBOT when there is a sale. That said, it is already quite affordable among its class and gives a capable performance. As several people who bought this vacuum say: it’s the best purchase they’ve ever made.

How Do Manual Pool Vacuums Work? A Beginner’s Guide

by

Manual pool vacuum cleaners require you to have a vacuum head, telescopic pole, vacuum hose and manual work that is time-consuming.

A pool vacuum is a must for any pool owner. The way a pool vacuum works is largely dependent on what type of vacuum you get. There are two primary types of vacuum cleaners you can choose.

One is a manual one where you do a lot of the work yourself. The other is an automatic one where it handles everything on its own. In this article, we will mainly be going over a manual pool vacuum.

How To Use It

In order to take full advantage of the vacuum cleaner, you will need to attach the head of the vacuum to a pole that is capable of reaching every crevice of the pool. You will then need to attach the hose into the water intake nozzle of the vacuum. From there, you can begin sucking the water in from the bottom of the pool and guide the vacuum head along until you have thoroughly cleaned it.

Everything You Need

In order to get your pool vacuum set up and running, you are going to need specific equipment to get started. First, you need a vacuum head that you will be using in order to suck up the dirt from your pool floor.

Likewise, you need a telescopic pole that is going to be long enough for the depth of your pool. You also need a vacuum hose that is capable of reaching all areas of your pool. You might need a vacuum plate and a scrub brush in order to get the bottom of your pool.

Vacuuming your pool is something that is extremely tedious, time-consuming, and downright hard work. That is if you are going to be doing it completely manually. You will need to use the same sort of motion you would use to vacuum your carpet with overlap to ensure you aren’t missing any particular area.

There are options that you can choose from if you are not someone that wants to have to manually vacuum and clean your pool. You can either choose from suction pool cleaners, pressure pool cleaners, or fully robotic pool cleaners. Each of these can deliver similar results as manually doing it with a vacuum with much less work involved.

Kenmore Elite 31150 Pet Friendly Vacuum – Works Like a Charm

by

The Kenmore Elite 31150 Pet Friendly bagged upright vacuum cleaner works like a charm for pet hair, but the complaint is that the hose is too …

Verdict: Should You Buy It?

The Kenmore Elite 31150 Pet Friendly is a bagged vacuum that comes with the Pet Handi-Mate, an attachment especially made for removing pet hair. Though this vacuum’s main attraction is for pet owners, it provides a good balance for cleaning hard floors and carpets, leaning more towards carpets due to the stiff bristles on the brush roll.

Those who have used it say the Kenmore is three times stronger than a Dyson at a more affordable price. It’s a workhorse vacuum if you live in large living spaces with plenty of human traffic and a squad of adorable pets. It satisfies most owners to the point they buy two for their homes, or for their family in other homes.

The trade-off for having a powerful suction and a sturdy body is that the Elite 31150 is a bit difficult to move. If you are looking for a lightweight vacuum, there are other choices. The hose on this model is also very short, making it mostly effective for floors but not for above-floor surfaces.

YES, the Kenmore Elite is good if you need to remove plenty of pet hair. The vacuum performs well on both floors and carpets, and it has a sturdy body. The issue is that it’s not a lightweight appliance, and the hose for attachments is very short.

Kenmore Elite 31150 Reviews by Customers

Is It Good for Cleaning Carpet?

With a manual 5-height adjustment button, the 31150 gives a good balance for cleaning both plush carpets and hard floors, with a better performance for the latter. Users report that the Kenmore glides over their rugs, making it feel self-propelled although it isn’t.

The dirt sensor tells you if there is still dirt in the carpet or not. One user says her sensor stayed on for 30 minutes. Once she finished, her rugs looked brand new due to the Kenmore’s ability to clean up the deepest dirt.

The vacuum has powerful suction, so much that some people feel it’s too strong and sucks up their throw rugs. In some cases, the Elite damages the surface of an area rug or unravels the edges of it. You can turn down the suction power to avoid this issue.

How Is It at Cleaning Hard Floors?

Many people are concerned whether the big and sturdy looking 31150 can scratch their floors. Though the bristles on the brush roll are slightly stiff, most people report they get no scratches vacuuming with it. Make sure you switch the height adjustment to the floor position to turn off the brush roll.

With the height adjustment, you can easily change between cleaning floors and carpets. However, you need to manually change the height since it doesn’t automatically adjust like other vacuum brands. It’s not a big deal for most people, but some users feel it interrupts their cleaning process.

Can It Pick Up Pet Hair?

The Kenmore Pet Friendly vacuum is designed for removing pet hair. With the specially designed Pet Handi-Mate attachment, which is a roller brush with an air driven turbine, you can easily pick up pet hair from your bed, sofa, car interior, and other places your pets love to play at.

Most vacuums actually are decent for picking up pet fur, if you have only one or two cats or dogs. If you have more than three or even a foster house full of rescues, the 31150 works like a charm for these situations. The Pet Handi-Mate has a high speed that allows you to easily clean pet hair.

Are the Bags Easy to Replace?

This appliance has a Power Flow design, meaning it maintains optimum suction power even as the bag becomes fuller. The bag has triple stage HEPA filters certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), making the 31150 a good choice for allergic persons.

Depending on how often you vacuum, the bags may need seldom changing. For daily cleaning of a household with a dog and two children, you may only need to change bags every two months.

You get one bag and filter when you buy the Kenmore Elite. Some people feel that the price of the bags are expensive, but others say it’s worth the price considering how easy it is to dispose.

The Kenmore Elite 31150 rates number 5 on our list of best bagged vacuums.

Is it Easy to Move?

At 21 lbs, the 31150 isn’t a lightweight vacuum. For most people, this vacuum is heavy to push around. On the plus side, it is strong and durable with a pleasing look that many people like. Even users with arthritis say they don’t complain about carrying this vacuum up the stairs, since they like the solid feeling of it.

The vacuum’s size is quite big, but it can lay flat, allowing you to clean under beds. For smaller areas though, such as a small kitchen, it may be difficult to maneuver the vacuum to reach all corners and under chairs and tables.

It isn’t self-propelled, but as long as the height adjustment is correct, the Kenmore can pull itself forward. If you are alright with a heavy vacuum that’s sturdy, the Elite is great. However, if you have back pain or other physical conditions, or if you’re not very strong, the weight of the 31150 may not be a good fit.

Another consideration is the height of the vacuum that is 45 inches. If you are short, it might be difficult for you to move this vacuum up and down the stairs. It’s not a common issue, but one worthy to think about if you want to get this vacuum.

Is it Loud?

The consensus on the loudness of this appliance is mixed. Some users report the Kenmore 31150 is the quietest vacuum they have ever owned. The pitch of the motor is low, and it doesn’t whine like some other vacuums.

On the other hand, some owners wear ear plugs when vacuuming with the Kenmore. It will depend on how sensitive your hearing is to determine whether this vacuum is loud or not for you.

Features of the Kenmore Elite 31150

  • Inducer motor
  • Dirt sensor
  • 10 ft telescoping wand
  • Crevice/dusting tool
  • 35 foot cord

The inducer motor provides 20% more suction power compared to older models from Kenmore. It uses three motors for beltless suction that results in less maintenance and repairs. The 31150 can last quite a while in your house and save you the hassle of having to send it for repairs.

The dirt sensor turns on when there is still dirt on the floor or carpet. It’s a handy indicator that tells you where to clean and for how long. That said, some people say the sensor isn’t very useful, since it can turn on in clean areas if there is a single piece of small debris.

The 35 foot cord is generous, allowing you to vacuum the whole house with using just one outlet (if your space is that big). However, there is no retractable cord, so you have to hook it up at the back of the machine.

The number one complaint that makes the Kenmore Elite fall short of a “perfect” vacuum is the hose that is too short. People who give this vacuum a 5-star rating admit that the hose is too stiff and not long enough.

The hose can reach up only a few stairs, meaning you have to bring the vacuum up with you when cleaning stairs. It’s tough to reach high spots such as draperies. The vacuum also easily falls over if you try to stretch the hose too far. It’s a minor annoyance for some users, but a major issue for other users such that they return their Kenmore Elite.

There is currently no hose extension you can use to replace the default hose. Though it’s an issue, some owners say the hose is enough for their needs. Many buyers feel that this vacuum is worth every dime, and is the one vacuum they’re looking for.

Prolux Tritan Bagged Canister Vacuum Review – Cheap Little Wonder

by

The Prolux Tritan bagged canister vacuum cleaner with HEPA filtration is a low cost unit that has great suction and is a real work horse.

Verdict: Should You Buy It?

The appearance and casing of the Prolux Tritan might look cheap, but the suction can perform as well as a Miele or a Dyson vacuum that costs eight times as much. Owners of this vacuum love it, since it is a cheap little wonder that offers big power at a low cost.

The Tritan’s ease of use makes vacuuming fun. It offers five levels of suction power, but users almost never need to use more than half of it. In fact, at higher levels, the suction of the Tritan might be too strong, making it tough to move the vacuum around.

This bagged canister vacuum works best for hard floors, and it’s able to clean carpets as well. However, you should get the turbo-style floor tool upgrade if you are going to use it for intensive carpet cleaning. It’s not the best carpet for vacuum, since the turbo-style head is non-motorized, but for the price and performance, the Tritan is a real work horse.

YES, the Prolux Tritan is good if you clean mostly hard floors and some carpets. The Tritan is good for picking up pet hair too, and the low price sweetens the deal. The issue is that the metal wand easily falls off, and the replacement bags are difficult to find.

Prolux Tritan Reviews from Customers

Is it Good for Cleaning Carpet?

The Tritan has a powerful suction, even at a low setting. You don’t have to use the highest suction power to clean thick carpets, but the choice is there. Some users even need to dial back the power knob when they are cleaning carpets.

There are two floor tools or heads you can use with this vacuum. One is the combination floor tool that has a button to switch between cleaning floors and carpets. The other one is a turbo-style head with a non-motorized (non-electric) spinning brush roll that is better for carpet cleaning. This head is an optional upgrade (bought separately).

If the Tritan is difficult to move on carpet, or if it sucks up throw rugs, set it to number three on the power knob (which is meant for rugs). It’s recommended to get the optional head if you live in a home with plenty of carpet areas. This attachment upgrade is more effective for carpets than the default combination floor tool that comes with the Tritan.

However, the non-motorized brush roll is not as strong as a motorized one. It rolls the brush using the power of the suction, not using electricity. If you have wall-to-wall carpet areas, you might want to look for a vacuum with a motorized brush that has optimum performance.

How is it at Cleaning Hard Floors?

Having the combination floor tool as the default vacuum head means this appliance is designed for mostly cleaning hard floors. It does the job very well for that, and most users agree that this device works best for hard floors.

Even so, some owners wish the Tritan had a hardwood floor brush tool. They replace the default one with a better floor brush since they want to avoid any harm or scratch to their hardwood. The bristles on the Tritan floor tool are stiff, but most users say it doesn’t scratch their floors.

The Tritan uses 35mm connections for the floor tools and attachments. You can change the Tritan floor brush tool with one from a different brand, such as Miele. One user did that and says the Tritan now works like a premium vacuum.

Is it Loud?

Most users feel that the Tritan is a quiet vacuum. Some owners say this vacuum is the quietest one they have ever owned. When turned on, other family members or guests can still listen to the television or talk on conference calls while you are vacuuming.

At the highest setting, there is some whistling noise. But due to the suction power, some users say they never need to turn the power dial higher than the lowest speed.

Can it Pick Up Pet Hair?

Though it doesn’t have any tools specific to pick up pet hair, the Tritan is a capable vacuum for this job. Using the crevice attachment, it collects hair strands that accumulate in your couch and other corners. The upholstery attachment helps you get pet hair off the sofa.

If you have three or more cats or dogs, you may want to get the head with the spinner brush for better performance. Users who have multiple pets say the Tritan picks up all of the hair with no problem.

Are the Bags Easy to Replace?

The bags that come with the Prolux Tritan have HEPA filtration seals with three stage filtration to seal in dirt and allergens. This type of bag is recommended if you are prone to allergy from dust.

How long the bags last depend on how often you clean. One user who has three dogs and cleans every day replaces the bags every two months. In most cases, you won’t need to change it very frequently.

The bags are specific to this model, meaning that you can’t use any other bag. You get five extra bags with the Tritan when you buy it. However, recently many customers report that finding replacement bags is difficult, since the sellers are currently out of stock.

The bag dimensions are 14 x 12 x 0.3 inches. An alternative bag type you can try is the Bissell Bag Type V bag, number 2037270. Some customers use this bag as a replacement.

Features of the Prolux Tritan

  • Adjustable power knob (settings 1-5)
  • Adjustable metal wand
  • 23-foot cord with an auto-retract button
  • Duster brush, crevice tool, and upholstery tool
  • 15 lbs weight (in the medium weight range)
  • Rubber wheels to prevent scratches on floor

Use the low setting on the power knob for cleaning upholstery and other fragile surfaces. The high setting is used for thick carpet, though it might be too strong. The floor tools that come with the Tritan have low enough clearance to fit underneath a sofa, or to clean around kitchen chairs without moving them around.

The relatively long cord and adjustable metal wand allows you to clean quite a large area without unplugging the vacuum. That said, some users wish for a longer cord since they have large living spaces. Some feel the hose length is too short, and the adjustable wand too, making it hard to clean high spaces.

The problem with the metal wand is that it attaches to the hose by friction. Therefore, it might slip off during vacuuming, which some users have complained about. Most users agree the holder (or on-board caddy) for the attachments on the vacuum is not that useful, since the attachment parts easily fall off. It’s easier to keep the attachments in your pocket as you vacuum.

This vacuum is not the most lightweight, but it isn’t heavy either. At 15 lbs, it’s a small and compact appliance that you can store in tight spaces, a good fit if you live in a motorhome or trailer. Users with arthritis (joint pain) say this vacuum is comfortable to use.

If there are any issues, Prolux customer service is worthy of a 5-star rating. They have sent new vacuums and replacement parts to buyers that receive wrong or missing parts, or a faulty vacuum. You also get a one year limited manufacturer warranty.

The Prolux Tritan ranks fourth on our list of best bagged vacuums.

How Do You Clean a Central Vacuum System? The 4 Step Guide

by

How to clean out your central vac system to prolong it’s lifespan and avoid costly maintenance by doing these four steps yourself.

Having a central vacuum system installed is a good way of ensuring your home is dust-free. However, your central vacuum has to be cleaned from time to time. Many people have a hard time cleaning their central systems because they don’t know how to do it. Below are tips that will go a long way in helping you clean your central vac system.

1. After running your central vacuum, make sure you always empty the bag or canister. When you unload dirt and grime, it helps in preventing clogs in the canister, and this ensures your system is healthy.

2. After you do this, attach the hose in reverse. This step will help you avoid any clogs from the hose.

3. Once you have cleared the clogs, let the vacuum run then feed the cleaning cloth down the tube at each receptacle. The cloth should go all the way to the canister before you retrieve it.

4. Make a bucket of soapy water then dip reusable filters in the solution. When cleaning the filters, make sure you swirl them around before you put them to dry. If your filters are not replaceable, then consider getting new ones after a couple of uses.

When your central vac is cleaned, it will have better suction. When the system is clogged, the ability to suck up debris decreases. If you fail to clear out the debris, you might be forced to hire a professional to do it. You can avoid this by making sure your central vacuum system is clean.

Cleaning your system prolongs its lifespan. That’s because a system that has not been cleaned has to work harder than it should, and it will stop working at one point. There is no need to waste your money on repairs and replacing your central vacuuming system when you could avoid it by cleaning it.

Hoover Platinum Collection UH30010COM Review – Lightweight Combo

by

The Hoover Platinum UH300010 is a bagged, corded upright with canister combo vacuum that’s lightweight and useful for carpet and bare floors. However …

Verdict: Should You Buy the Hoover Platinum?

The Hoover Platinum Collection UH30010COM is a unique combo vacuum with an upright that can manage carpets and bare floors. The small canister does all the above floor cleaning with the various tools that come with it. This combination is capable of covering most of your cleaning needs, especially if you have area rugs, wall-to-wall carpet, and several pets.

Many people love the vacuum combo and feel it’s an efficient way of cleaning their homes. That said, some people prefer to stick to one vacuum for all housekeeping needs and don’t like working with two appliances at once. Other owners use the upright and keep the canister for when they need to use the tools.

Should You Buy It?

YES. This Hoover model is a good choice if you have a large area with carpets, and if you live with a big family with pets. The lightweight design is great if you are looking to change from a heavy vacuum. The upright and canister combination is a new way of covering all your cleaning needs.

NO. You can’t turn off the motorized brush on the upright. Therefore, this vacuum is not the best one for bare floors, as it may create scratching. The combo system may not suit you if you don’t want to work with two vacuums at once.

Hoover Platinum UH30010COM Customer Reviews

Nearly four out of five people who have bought the UH30010COM give it a high rating. The power and efficiency it has for cleaning carpets and floors make it a favorite among customers, at a price that is within an affordable range. Some owners say it’s easier to use than more expensive models.

Performance for Carpet

Pros

The wheels on the vacuum are large enough so that the machine can climb onto carpet from bare floors as you move it around. Smaller vacuums might require you to pick it up and place it on the carpet, but that isn’t necessary with this Hoover Platinum.

However, when vacuuming thick area rugs or carpet, you will need to push the Hoover. The suction from the machine is powerful enough to make cleaning carpets become somewhat of a workout. On the other hand, the result is that your carpet can become cleaner than before, since the vacuum does a very well job and sucks very deep dirt.

Cons

The suction may be too powerful for some people. At the low setting (usually used when cleaning bare floors), the Platinum can still suck up small rugs, such as door mats. You can hold down the mat with one foot and keep vacuuming to solve this issue.

Using this vacuum for high-pile carpets (one inch or deeper) may be hard. Some people report they can barely move the Hoover when pushing it over thick carpets, such as SmartStrand types. However, most users have no problem using the UH30010COM for carpets.

Performance for Bare Floors

You can’t turn off the motorized brush on this vacuum. That means it can scratch your hardwood floors, though it happens rarely. One workaround you can do is to use the canister vacuum floor tool to clean bare floors, though that means carrying the vacuum around on your shoulder.

Performance for Pet Hair

Pros

The upright does a great job at picking up pet hair. If you have cats or dogs that shed heavily, you’ll be glad to know this vacuum is up for the job. It can clean cat or dog hair in two back and forth passes.

You can also use the canister for this purpose, if you’re cleaning pet hair from couches or sofas, but it’s not as powerful as the upright. You’ll need to do several passes to clean all the hair.

A note about the UH30010COM bag: it can emit a dog smell if you don’t change it after a long time. You can overcome this by putting anti-odor tablets in the bag to eliminate the odor.

Cons

The dog smell can become unbearable for some people that they have to replace the bags before it’s even half full. They question the quality of the HEPA bags if the dog smell becomes sharper after a few weeks.

That said, most users don’t notice any smell from the bags. One owner who has three small dogs says he can use the bag to vacuum once every two days for six weeks before replacing it.

Evaluating the HEPA Bags

There is one bag for the upright and one bag for the canister vacuum. They are HEPA bags, which means they are designed to capture 99.7% of dirt and allergens. The bags have an indicator light that turn on to tell you when it’s full and needs to be changed.

Most users feel that the replacement bags are pricey, even expensive. But it’s a worthy trade-off for getting a bagged vacuum that doesn’t require you to clean out the machine, which can be messy.

Performance for Stairs

Though possible, it’s not comfortable to use the Hoover upright to clean stairs, since you must lift it up over the stairs. A more convenient way is to use the canister vacuum, similar to how you use it to clean floors. The combo system shows how it can be efficient in tackling different situations.

Evaluating the Combo System

Pros

Users either love or dislike the combination of upright and over-the-shoulder canister vacuum. Some consider the combo system to be a bonus where you can have two people cleaning at the same time (though it might rarely happen in most cases).

At first it might seem not suitable, but using two vacuums for different jobs can be very efficient.

It’s a good thing that the canister is lightweight and easy to carry around, so you can use it to clean spaces hard to reach with the upright. Some owners love the freedom of cleaning without having to drag along a vacuum behind them, wearing it on their shoulder instead.

Cons

The canister is not as powerful as the upright. Still, it can do the basic jobs of cleaning above the floor and reach high corners. The downside to both the upright and canister is that there is no cord hook, meaning you will need to tie it up yourself for storage.

Since all the tools or attachments are on the canister, some users miss having attachments on the main unit. It would mean they can carry just one vacuum, and be able to handle all cleaning jobs.

Evaluating the Lightweight

Though the upright is quite large, the vacuum is very lightweight at around 12 lbs. This vacuum is a relief for people who have back issues when vacuuming their home. It feels like the UH30010COM is driving itself, gliding almost effortlessly across your carpets and floors. Some users report they can clean their entire living room only using their pinky to move the vacuum.

Features of the Hoover Platinum Collection Combo

  • Upright and canister combo vacuum
  • Dusting brush, crevice tool, and telescoping wand tools
  • Weighs 12.8 lbs
  • Self-sealing HEPA bag with light indicator when full
  • Direct air flow Windtunnel technology
  • Low setting (for floor) and high setting (for carpet)
  • Auto-height adjustment and low profile design
  • 35 ft power cord

The 35-ft power cord means you can vacuum large spaces without changing outlets. It’s useful if there aren’t many power outlets in your home. What you must note is that the vacuum can accidentally run over the cord, sucking it and damaging it.

If this happens, due to the design of the UH30010COM, you may need to replace the housing handle, which can cost quite a lot, almost the price of the vacuum itself. Some customers have complained about this error to Hoover.

Once you screw in the handle, the vacuum is ready to go. The low profile design lays almost flat, but the head of the upright is big enough that it doesn’t fit under certain furniture, such as couches. Of course, it depends on the shape of your furniture.

The noise the vacuum makes is around 70-80 dB, for both the canister and the upright. It’s around the loudness of an alarm clock. Some people find this level to be no problem, while others say it’s a shrieking sound.

Lastly, since the handle is made out of plastic, it is known to break within one or two years if you use it roughly. Still, many people own this vacuum for years without the handle having any issues.

Bissell Zing 2154A Review: A Little Vacuum That Packs a Punch

by

The Bissell Zing 2154A grapevine purple bagged canister vacuum cleaner works great for bare floors and some carpets, but not suitable for tall people over …

VERDICT: Should You Buy the Zing 2154A?

The Bissell Zing 2154A is a little vacuum that packs a punch. People who bought this vacuum were surprised at the powerful suction in a small body and affordable price. The Zing is great for small living areas that are mostly bare floors, but not so well for wall to wall carpeting.

At first glance, the appearance of the small Zing may worry you, but it’s a capable vacuum. It can handle area rugs and low pile carpets, but not all types of carpets. The main complaint about this vacuum is that the hose is too short, forcing tall people to bend over when cleaning.

Should You Buy It?

YES. If you have a tight budget, then the 2154A fits the bill nicely. It’s a great choice if you have a small living area, like an apartment, or if you’re looking for a secondary vacuum that’s lightweight enough to carry around to do maintenance cleaning. The Zing is primarily for bare and hardwood floors and some types of carpets.

NO. If you live in a large area with carpets in multiple rooms, the Zing may not be satisfying. The Zing can clean pet hair, but if you have many pets, you may want a vacuum suitable for pet hair. Also, if you’re taller than 5’1”, the short hose may be uncomfortable for you.

Bissell Zing 2154A Reviews by Customers

Due to the affordable price, compact size, and light weight, the Zing is very popular among owners. The powerful suction is comparable to other vacuums worth twice the price. This vacuum receives many high ratings because it fulfills people’s needs and even exceeds some of their expectations.

PROS

This vacuum can be an answer to your prayers if you dread lugging around a heavy upright vacuum that causes you back pain. At only 8 lbs, it’s a lightweight vacuum perfect for small areas, that is portable to bring to your camper or lake house basement.

Being a compact vacuum, the vacuum head can go under furniture that’s hard to reach with bigger vacuums that have bulky heads. The swivel steering feature allows you to clean areas that may be inaccessible with bigger sized vacuums.

It’s also a bagged vacuum, meaning you simply zip up the bag and throw it away when it’s full. If you suck up any dead insects, they remain out of your sight and out of your mind.

For a two bedroom apartment with some area rugs, one bag can last for more than two months, if you vacuum around once a week. The Zing maintains powerful suction even as the bag starts getting full. Some other vacuums start losing suction power the more dirt is in the bag, but that isn’t the case with the 2154A.

The suction is so powerful that some owners have to use the variable suction control to turn it down to medium or lower for bare floors. With a great suction, you may worry about the noise. But fret not, it’s surprisingly quiet, enough to make a three month old baby keep sleeping soundly.

You’ll know the bag is full when a light comes on to alert you. Some people feel that replacement bags are a bit expensive, but it’s worth it considering the price and power of the 2154A.

CONS

The main drawback of the Bissell Zing is that it’s not the best vacuum for carpets because it doesn’t come with any type of brush roll. You can still clean carpets, but you’ll mostly do several passses to clean it thoroughly.

The Zing has a filtration system, but it’s not up to HEPA standards. If you have special concerns about pathogens or allergens, then a vacuum with a HEPA filter will be more suitable for you.

When using the vacuum, some people say that the cord is too short so they have to unplug several times when cleaning. This problem can occur if you live in a large space, but it rarely happens if you live in a small apartment. Other users are quite happy with the cord length.

A special consideration for tall people over 5’1”: the hose of this vacuum is short, so you will bend over when vacuuming. Some people find it very uncomfortable and switch to a different vacuum.

What both lovers and haters of the Zing 2154A agree on is that the attachments are practically useless. The crevice tool is so short it can make you wonder what you can use it for. The attachments are also difficult to store, since there aren’t many places to store it on the vacuum.

The good news is that you can use attachments from other vacuums with the Zing.

Features of the Bissell Zing 2154A

  • 2.5 L capacity bag that’s easy to remove
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Switch to flip from carpet cleaning to bare floors
  • Variable suction control
  • Automatic cord rewind
  • Crevice tool and dusting brush attachments

The automatic cord rewind is a favorite among users of the Bissell Zing. It makes tidying up and storage a snap with the push of a button. That said, in some faulty cases, the rewind mechanism doesn’t fully retract the cord, making some users have to push it in manually.

With the powerful suction, affordable price, popularity with customers, and some minor drawbacks, the Bissell Zing 2154A sits at the top of our list for best bagged vacuums.
