Found that Good Housekeeping Magazine did a comparison for best "stick vacs" and this had best rating....but not sure if this is same one.....??

I don't know if it is the same one or not, but I would say that I would never buy it again. It's fine for dust, but anything bigger than a speck of a crumb won't be picked up. If you do get it picked up, don't lift the vacuum or it will all fall out. I really don't like it. I have owned more simple sweepers that did a better job. Keep in mind that it is a dust buster snapped onto a handle.

Most likely not.... i cannot imagine this making any best list, I'd google Best vacuums best housekeeping bissell to see what comes up.

Couldn't find the review you speak of, but I have realized that really can't trust or rely on the limited power of cordless vacuums. I own this and during use it picks up my cat food but when you turn it off, the food bits just fall right out, meaning it lacks adequate suction to fully draw into the collection chamber. I ended up just buying another "corded" vac for real usage and use this weak vac for dirty simple jobs, like my car. But, before I shutoff after using it "everytime", I hang it over a garbage can to let out whatever doesn't get sucked up, its pretty ridiculous.

I agree the Pet Hair Eraser is great has worked better than any other vaccum I have owned and I have had several the latest being oreck which a first i really liked but after awhile it did not preform so well. So I got the bissell and like I said it is great!

Your link isn't working so couldn't look at the eureka. This one works just as good as my full size canister. Goes to town on cat hair, carpet fuZzies, litter....kid messes. Holds a good charge and doesn't fade. Would also point out its easy to empty with a hepa filter that is washable and never needs replaced. Been really happy with dyson customer service too.

I am not very savvy to the differences, so my choice was made based on the influence of people that do cleaning. Basically they said that the canister tends to have more sucction and that the upright model tends to break more often/easier. So far mine is doing well, but I confess my usage is minimum as I live alone.

Personally, I won't use anything but a shop vac simply because of the amount of dust that will clog up most expensive filters. The shop vac filters are easily washed and can be reused several times, are inexpensive, and I've never had any damage done to my shop vac motor that I'm sure I'd have encountered had I used my other vacs. The shop vac I have I purchased at Menards for under $40 and I've worked the poor thing to what would have been death for a 'normal' vac. As long as you take care of it, and make sure to keep the filters cleaned when they need it, I suppose you could use any type you wanted, but...as I stated...shop vacs, in my opinion, are much better suited for the 'tough' jobs.

I just looked at the product manuals for the various Hoover vacuums this filter works for. Finally, I found a handvac manual that actually showed (and described) the foam side facing the dirt cup. As others have said, this also simply seems logical... I have the Hoover Corded Cyclonic Stick Vacuum, SH20030. This type of filter is NOT sold for this model on the Hoover site. You can buy the plain foam ones that came with this vacuum on their site. AND, they're cheaper. :) Wish I'd known that before I bought these.

My experience with the Litter Maid Elite has not been good. My old one worked really well, but this one does such a poor job that I ended up having to clean out the litter box as much as a non-automatic one. I found a couple of other self-cleaning ones on Amazon, but haven't ordered one yet. I'm sorry I couldn't recommend a specific one, but maybe someone else can. I hope you find one soon.

I remember looking at it and thinking the same thing. Actually didn't know about the other sites. There is a similar steam broom selling on infomercials for somewhat less than even that. And truth be told, I'm not sure I would even pay that much for it.I would love a steam mop that does the same thing, but more than $50 and I have to wonder what kind of special plastic they used to make this stuff. Somebody must be buying it or else the price would be lower. And I'm sure Bissel's reputation is better than that infomercial item too, just to be fair.

This one that I bought off of amazon was not the newest model of the max vac. The newest model has a manual vaccuum and sealing button so you can decided when you are done vacuuming. I called LEM and am in the process of getting mine upgraded to the new one so. For our uses I prefer the manual options. Hope this helps!

I believe that they are very similar. The only possible difference would be the material content. They work the same and I have been cleaning mine after every use (which my full size vacuum). They work in the Neato vacuum if that is your question.

Good question! The first difference is the Flair costs three times more. It looks and reads the same. I replaced an old Hoover stick which cost little so I was looking for the lower priced Hoover, I have a larger more powerful Hoover for my carpeted areas. Sorry that I cannot help more, if I was you I would ask one who bought the Flair. Maybe you did. Good luck!

I am not sure about with clean room rating although now I will look it up-it puts of a small amount of combustion smoke especially while getting into full vacuum. after that it lessons and I usually run a small exhaust fan at a window very close. Most of the time I have the vac off and just keep my chamber locked in a vac. Hope this helps-the way clean room sounds though this is prob not the best thing to have in there with out a proper exhaust system. Great unit !

ok.. well it was the same rep apparantly.I will just open the 4104 and try it out.. If I don't like it, I will return it. thanks for your help. The thing is.. those comparisons you linked above are not the same as what is listed on the box. The tools have different names, and the "pet hair lifter' attached to the bottom of the machine is not listed on the site, but clearly states it on the box, and I played with it in the store so I know it has it.. I don't trust the comparisons.Oh well. Thanks

I just cleaned my filter after over a year(Dyson says every 6 months, whoops) and it was as clean as a whistle. I don't know how you come to your conclusions, but I find their vacs to be quite well engineered. You can take most of the air passageways apart using a dime in a slot provided, meaning you can unclog the unit yourself instead of paying to have it done.I'd buy another one without hesitation.

I've had 2 Ergorapidos, The first one the battery died after 1 1/2 yr, not replaceable so throw away. The second one the brush broke and it no longer suctions, but I can still use the hand vac. I bought a wired hoover, it has strong suction but I keep getting tripped up with the cord. I'm now looking to buy the cordless linx. I love th ergo when its new but do not recommend as it needs to be replaced too often.

I think it works very well. We have wood floors in our kitchen and hall ways and I like this better than any other stick vacuum. I recommend the plug in so you don't have to recharge a battery on the battery operated models.

I just took ours to a local vacuum store that carried the brand; it was also where I bought it from but that shouldn't matter. Would have to find a shop that sold them however. Better find one though since you will need to take it in any time it gets clogged due to poor design...(can you tell I didn't like ours?...)
