MetroVac Stainless Steel/Chrome Canister Vac - OV4PNHSF Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just a quick review. This vacuum cleaner is pretty small. I found the suction good but the dust bag is about 1/4 of the vacuum (the rest is the motor) so that may affect the suction by filling up too quick. Have not got to that point yet. I think the size of the dust bag could be compared to a large breakfast cereal bowl. I just have one large room with carpet so the size is not an issue for me. The power head works well. There are a couple of fundamental design flaws. The first is that the power wire from the canister to the power head prevents the flexable hose from staying attached to the vacuum. The canister has ~2inch metal tube sticking out. The hose slips on over the metal tube but by adding on the power lead they have a little plug that prevents the hose from getting a snug connection. This means I cannot move the vacuum around by letting the hose pull it. On the other end of the canister is the blowing end which again has ~2inch metal tube sticking out but on this one you do not use the power head so the plug is not an issue and they also have a bump on the tube to improve the tube to hose connection. It blows pretty good so you have to be careful where that end of the vacuum is pointing. I think it is more designed to be carried around like a backpack so the poor hose connection would not be as much of a problem (but it still is) and then the blower end would be pointing down which would not be as much of a problem. I plan on fixing the blow problem by getting a 90 degee tube connection if I can. As for the power plug it needs to plug in on the side not the connection end of the hose. Might need to do some cutting and duct tape to fix that :( Without the power plug on the hose it connects up well enough. I think it is well made in terms of quality (good materials etc) but the poor design for the power head wiring is a fundamental flaw

Dirt Devil 088400 Vision Turbo Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned several vacuum cleaners in my life and to date the best one is still the old, old canister vacuum that my parents used for 30 years before I had it. I miss that vacuum!
I am not hard on my appliances, it just me and my husband and no children in the house. We needed a new vacuum and this one seemed nice and powerful in the store and the first few times I used it. However, from the start there was a burning rubber odor which stunk up the entire house. I assumed it was the belt, checked the belt and it seemed okay. So, I thought maybe it was due to being new. However, the stink never stopped and the belt eventually melted from overheating. We bought a new belt, because this is not a warranty item. After replacing the belt and using the vacuum twice, the same thing happened and I was again without a vacuum.
Another thing that happend is that the vacuum sucked up the power cord. I found it strange how the power cord had no place to lock into on the vacuum and how I had to always hold it up, and when it got sucked up and damaged, I thought it was my fault, not the poor design of the power cord placement. I see from the other reviews on this site, that the same thing has happened to several other people. We put electrical tape around the cord.
Now, not only the belt needs replacing, but the roller brush too because the belt melted all over it! Plus the vacuum lost suction power after a few uses. A screw fell out that helps to keep the bottom rolling along easy. The bagless collection cup for debris fills up within 1 session of vacuuming and it is a big mess to clean it.
I contacted Dirt Devil customer service to speak to someone and complain, but all the woman wanted to tell me over and over was that the belt is not a warranty item and to contact my local service center. I tried to explain that I understand that a belt is normally not a warranty item, but that there must be something wrong with the vacuum that is causing it to overheat and burn up the belt. She wanted to blame me for vacuuming up something too big that got caught in the machine and damaged it. Now I have owned many vacuums and I have never had belt burn up like this. They usually last for a number of years, not months, or in the latest case, a day.
I noticed that Dirt Devil has a sweeper that is recalled for overheating. Perhaps they have a similar problem with this vacuum?
Regardless, I am done with this vacuum - a piece of junk and rotten customer service to boot! I know I will never spend my hard earned money on a Dirt Devil again!

Dirt Devil Vision Perm a Filter Part 2690299700 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)See the picture. Its supposed to be for the vacuum that hasn't the slanted top. They sent one with it being flat on both top and bottom. Hmmm! Can we say wrong product. I love amazon a lot but some of these third part people need to go. Don't buy from these people as they don't QC their orders or what they describe isn't actually the write product.
