Carpet Tools Reviews

I bought this based on another Amazon review. It is great for pet hair on stairs and upholstery. The hose is short, but the power is worth it!

Wow...I never knew that I could get my rug this clean. I use this for everything, sucking up crumbs, hair from the bed and rug, you name it. It has amazing suction powers, I got so much dirt and dust off of my rug that I'm plain floored. My only quibble with it is that I need to get new filters for it and Amazon doesn't stock them.

I bought this vacuum in March 2002 in an attempt to find the best of both worlds - my husband prefers an upright, I prefer a cannister. The vacuum does an excellent job in cleaning. I especially appreciate the filtration of the bags and the filter. The air in the house does not smell or feel dusty after vacuuming as it did with all of our other vacuums and the house stays cleaner longer. This vacuum is extremely noisy compared to my old Eureka cannister. My husband says it is quieter than most uprights and that I find it noisy because I'm used to a cannister model. With an upright, the motor is in front of me, so I hear the roar all the time. With the cannister, the motor was several feet behind me when I cleaned. Even in Lift Off mode, the loud motor is always next to me. My compromise is to wear those foam ear plugs to buffer the sound while cleaning. I am not able to vaccum underneath the furniture as well with this Lift Off model because it has a higher profile than the powerhead on my old cannister. Overall we are happy with our purchase and feel that this is a good value. Would I buy this model again? Probably not. When this one wears out I'll look for a cannister model with the filtrete clean air technology (or similar).

***update***
This vacuum cleaner caught fire and started spewing smoke after 2 1/2 years of use. I would have needed to pay for the shipping to have it repaired under the warranty. The shipping costs were almost as much as the vacuum. We threw it out and bought a Miele. What a difference!

I have always had truble with vacumes! This one is soooooo powerful and I've had it for about a year now and its still great

I liked my first cannister/upright Bissel vacuum so much that I purchased a second one. This is the best vacuum, for the home, on the market. Believe me, I have tried them all. The bags are expensive but the vacuum is so good that I tolerate the price of the bags, plus the cost of the vacuum is very inexpensive considering the quality. A very nice feature is the long cord. You can plug it in and vacuum several rooms without having to unplug, then plug in again. It is a quiet vacuum, has wonderful suction, snaps apart easily for the cannister so you can vacuum the stairs, and is very durable. My older one is about ten years old and just as good as the day I got it. My second one is one year old and I am sure it will last many years.

We recently purchased this vacuum from Bed, Bath and Beyond. While we were a little uneasy about paying this kind of money a 20% coupon helped lower the cost to make it a little more reasonable. We have a shedding labrador and were amazed at the amount of hair that we picked up the first time that we vacuumed. The Dyson offers instant gratification in that you can see the dirt and hair going into the bin. It also offers a no-mess emptying that works at the touch of a buttom and emptys all of the dirt into the trash.

The various attachments work great and the vacuum works well on all floors. The pet hair tool is of great use on our cloth couch which is a magnet for our dog's hair.

We were torn between the regular animal model and the ball version but decided to go with the ball version since it has a much smaller head assembly and fits beneath chairs and cabinets easier. The ball makes vacuuming almost fun in that just a flip of the wrist allows you to steer it into all areas and make tight turns. We strongly recommend this model if you have pets in your home.

Without a doubt this is the best vacuum we've ever owned. It picks up much more that any other. It's also easy to move through tight spaces.

Exceptional quality and performance. Upon opening the box you can see the quality of the machine and with only a few minor assembly steps you are on your way. Even though I had just cleaned my house I had to "test drive" it's performance. I was amazed at the dust and hair it picked up! The new ball design made turning around furniture and getting into tight spots easy. Well worth the price tag.

I just got this vacuum. It was missing a wand, the screw, or whatever, that holds the top to the bottom, and the petal that allows you to go to different heights was broken. I also didn't get any instructions, or warantee card.
HOWEVER, I did use it to see if it was as good as all the Amazon reviewers reported. It is!!! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and it sucked up all hair and then some. I only wish that it had come in better condition since my old vacuum is broken, and I really don't want to go without a vacuum for another two weeks.

With 7 cats and 3 dogs in our household we have our share of pet hair and dirt. When the DIRT DEVIL PLATNIUM FORCE vacuum arrived I had just vacuumed with my upright EUREKA. I decided to put the Dirt Devil Platnium Force to a test, it passed with flying colors!!!! I was amazed by how much dust,dirt,pet hair was collected in the dirt cup, even though I had just vacuumed. The carpet was visibly much cleaner after using the Platnium Force .It has teriffic suction, and I love the no bag design and the fact I do not have to worry about belts breaking. I especially love the 32 foot power cord, I can go from room to room with no problem! I also tried in the kitchen on the tile floor and it did a great job there too, it sucks the dirt in , unlike the Eureka that tends to blow it around instead of sucking it up. The fact that it is a reconditioned machine is not at all visible, it looks like a new machine, runs like a new machine and comes with a one year warranty.It is a little heavier than most machines but I find it to be more stable, ( it did not tend to fall over like lighter weight machines I have had). It is a nice looking machine. I feel the price makes it an excellent value. It is easy to remove and empty the dirt cup, and has nifty clips to hold the attachments securely. I have owned Hoover and Eureka vacuums both uprights and canisters , Dirt Devil is by far the best.Dirt Devil has done it again!!

I tend to be one of thoese bachelors who breaks their vacum and every 6 months, and this one has already passed the test. From first use you can tell this Dirt Devil is very powerfull, and when you turn on the brush, WOW!I really doubt I will need to buy a new vacum soon, and the price I got on amazon saved me an arm and leg!

I was looking at Oreck's upright vacuums (because I wanted a light, but strong vacuum) and then I found this Bissell Prolite rated better in Consumer Reports. I decided to try it and I love it. The upright is light, has great suction, and is $150.00-$250.00 cheaper than the Orecks I was looking at buying. It is a little loud, but still worth it. I definitely recommend this vacuum pair!

I grew tired of pushing around my 10 year old vacuum that weighed a ton, so this time around I wanted something lightweight but powerful. This combo pack with the Prolite and Propartner was the answer to all my cleaning needs. The Prolite is so lightweight and easy to use, but really picks up the dirt. There are two fans for increased airflow (yes, I did my research) and this really helps for edge cleaning around baseboards. I can actually watch the dog hair being sucked up. I use it on my carpet and hard surfaces, and it works wonderfully.

When I was looking into purchasing a vaccum I noticed that the Prolite didn't have any tools or attachments, which was something that concerned me. Bissell has solved that problem by including the Propartner canister vacuum. I use this to clean the stairs, upholstery, and even my car. It has a switch on the handle to adjust the suction power which is really neat. I also love the retractable power cord. Why hasn't anyone else thought of that yet?

Between the lightweight (but powerful) Prolite and Propartner canister vacuum, the dirt in my house no longer stands a chance. If you're looking for a new vacuum, give these a chance and I know you won't be disappointed.

this kicker is great. i have bought a lot of roberts kickers but ended up returning them because they break after 2 days. this kicker holds up great and does the job magnificently. i highly recomend this kicker for your tool box.

I just want to write about how a carpet knee kickers should be considerd for purchase by an inexperienced carpet installer. Not all carpet knee kickers are the same. The design of the product makes a difference. To an inexperienced carpet installer, all knee kickers are the same, but as they become experienced, they will see that this is not the case. Some kickers are not as comfortable to work with than others. A person needs to adjust to the product to get the best performance from it, but their are other name brand knee kickers that tend to be more user friendly. An experienced carpet installer will know the difference and the comfortabilty of a knee kicker when compared to others knee kickers. Comfortability and performance from a product will allow the user to properly stretch the carpet to its most maximum stretch without using a power stretcher. An understanding that not all knee kickers are the same in comfortability and performance, will allow the consumer to make a wise purchase according to their preference in knee kickers.

And we have owned a bunch. We just replaced our Fantom with this Eureka...so we are familiar with bagless/Hepa units. We liked the Fantom but were swayed by the great reviews we saw for Eureka's. This is an order of magnitude better. Our carpets feel softer and look revitalized. Unbeleavable the cat dander and fine silt that this pulled from the carpets. Call me crazy, but even the air in the room smells cleaner. Compared to our Fantom, the filters are easier to change and are more reasonably priced with this unit. We picked this model because we did not need all the bells and whistles on the higher priced rigs. We are extremely happy with our decision. We made sure that we could return it if not completely satisfied...we're gonna keep it. EXCELLENT basic vacuum...super performance.

I just received my vacuum and I just love it. My Mom has the 5740 and it's great too, but I like this one better because of the added features...15" width, the stretch hose and furniture guard are great! The bonus Copperhead I think will work out well for cleaning my car and hard to reach places.
This purchase was to have a second vacuum on hand and I think this one will be getting more activity. If you don't own one - you gotta get one. It's amazing how powerful this vacuum is and how deep it cleans. All I can say is WOW!

I've been using one of these for 3 years (originally WAP) and can confidently assure you it's the very best, but as usual you have to pay a premium for the above average quality. After getting rid of my 4.0 HP Genie (which sounded like a jet taking off, and never filtered well) I got this one, and to this day it's still the single best, most used tool I've ever purchased. Very clean, super QUIET and very powerful. It uses internal bags (which...hold A LOT) so it filters very well, even fine wood or plaster sanding dust, and is very easy to clean up and empty. If you've got the extra cash laying around, and need a quality shopvac, get this one. You will NOT be disappointed.

The Crain Cutter 245HA Deluxe Carpet Trimmer is a solid product. The four position adjustible throat and the ratchet-mounted handle makes trimming carpet under toe spaces so muck easier than using a utility knife. And the results look a lot more professional. This tool is well worth it's weight in gold.

The Crain Cutter 900H 3" Heat Carpet Iron is a good investment. The time that it saves and the quality of the finished job will speak for itself. This tool should be in every carpet layer tools,whether they are a professional or the first timer.
