Hoover F7452900 SteamVac All Terrain Review 2007-09-11 23:41:00 I have a review of the Hoover
F7452900 SteamVac All Terrain
. I had my “padawan” learner Johnny help me put this vacuum together for the sales floor. Of course, after it was all set up we tested it out so I could give it a thorough review for you, the readers.What Your Sensei ThoughtThe All Terrain SteamVac was built by Hoover to clean all of your floors from tile to carpet and most everything in between. I’ve seen several companies try to market an All Terrain steamvac that cleans tile and carpet with mixed results. As far as hard flooring goes, don’t expect any steamvac to restore your tile to mint condition.The Hoover SteamVac did a fair job at scrubbing tile in our bathroom. The true test came when I had Johnny go over another strip of tile with a regular scrub brush. We definitely noticed cleaner tile with the scrub brush, but compared to the amount of time it took it didn’t seem worth it. The Hoover Steam Vac definitely made our tile look a lot cleaner, but it’s still
Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge 2007-09-11 15:30:00 Steam Vac Review: Hoover
F5914-900 SteamVac with CleanSurge
The Sensei’s Rating: 4.5 Stars out of 5DescriptionThe Hoover SteamVac with Clean Surge is an all purpose steam vacuum cleaner designed to clean home carpets, upholstery, and the inside of your car. Features include two spinning brush speeds, included tools, and the SpinScrub rotating brush system equipped with 5 spinning brush heads.What the Sensei SaysThis is the cheaper, better version of Hoover’s SteamVac Agility. I’m not knocking the Agility Steam Vac, it’s a great unit at a great price, but the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge is a much cheaper unit that offers identical performance with just one minor difference. This model doesn’t include a “tool caddy”. The tool caddy is a minor convenience and allows users to remove the tools and carry them in a bundle. While some people may find it indispensable, it hardly seems worth the $30-$50 more Hoover feels it’s worth.One of the things I really like a
Best Vacuum Cleaner Guide 2007-10-25 17:32:00 Konichiwa!The response to my “Best Lightweight Vacuum

As a result, your Sensei has decided to write a “Best Vacuum” series covering several categories from the best upright and canister vacuums to the best top of the line vacuums.Best Vacuum Article SeriesBest Lightweight Vacuum CleanersBest Upright Vacuum Cleaners Best Stick Vacuum CleanersBest Allergenic Vacuum Cleaners Read more:Guide
Best Hypo-Allergenic Allergy Vacuum Cleners 2007-09-27 16:45:00 Wow! Competition in the Best Vacuum
Cleaner series is really heating up! Today I’m responding to requests from people looking for Hypo-Allergenic or Allergy
Vacuums. I know I’ve said this many times, but your Sensei suffers from dust allergies and knows how much of a difference a proper hypo-allergenic vacuum cleaner can make! Don’t expect to see any “bargain vacuums” on this list; the lower end stuff tends to shoot out unfiltered air even though they’re rated as “allergenic”. (That’s because there’s no industry standard as to what “allergenic” vacuums are.) To make it to this list, a vacuum cleaner must possess a sealed HEPA filtration system and have enough cleaning power to thoroughly clean your home. Without further interruptions, I bring you my “Best Allergy Vacuum Cleaners” list.Best Allergenic Upright Vacuum Cleaner: Oreck XL Celoc Hypo-Allergenic Vacuum with BonusesIn addition to having one of the best vacuum allergen filtration systems on the market
The Fight 2007-09-27 14:15:00 Your Sensei has been trolling the internet for vacuum stories again. This one comes from the personal blog of Qinwen. Drop by her site sometime while you're surfing!between the vacuum cleaner & me. It was one hell of a fight.I was vacuuming my room today, cos my sis is finally coming home after 2 months of internship in Shanghai!Must make the room clean clean to welcome her back. I'm a nice sis! (I wonder what she bought for me! :D:D)And of course, I took a bloody long time to clear the stuff I piled onto her desk, chair and "her space" over these 2 months.It was mainly books, scrap pieces of paper, newspapers, a water bottle and others. I even found one sock under her table.Yes! One sock! I have no idea where is the other matching pair. Must find it soon...And I also found my long-lost lip balm! MUAHAHAHA!I held the lip balm in my hand while I continued to vacuum the room. Then, I saw my messy table, with bits of eraser dust and staples around. I tried to lift the vacuum cleaner
Best Stick Vacuums Guide 2007-09-26 16:31:00 Best Stick
VacuumsHello,Here’s another article in my “Best Vacuum Cleaner” series. This time I’m going to cover my top 3 picks for stick vacuum cleaners and explain why I like each of them.Best Low End Stick Vacuum Cleaner: Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight VacuumI like the Bissell featherweight for a lot of reasons, not the least of which it’s price. This stick vacuum makes it to my “Best Stick Vacuum” list because of it’s thin price. Amazon retails this lightweight, stick vacuum cleaner for about $20 bucks and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it on sale for a couple bucks less. I liked the Bissell 3106A because it doubles as an upright vacuum, hand held vacuum, and you can attach a crevice tool. All three uses combine to form one of the most versatile stick vacuums on the market.Best Mid-Range Stick Vacuum Cleaner: Dirt Devil Bagless Power StickIf the practically no frills Bissell Featherweight isn’t for you, check out the Dirt Devil Bagless Power Stick Vacuum Read more:Guide

VacuumVacuum Rating: 5 stars out of 5 for delivering excellent performance, being priced just right, and providing a solid sealed HEPA filterKonbanwa! Tonight I bring you a review of the Bissell Healthy Home 5770 Vacuum Cleaner. The Healthy Home Vacuum is one of Bissell’s mid-range vacuum cleaners and there are a lot of things I really liked about this vacuum.The Bissell Healthy Home retails for around $250 and I expected to see greater performance compared to some of the low-end vacuums Bissell offers. Much to Bissell’s credit, they have met and exceeded my expectations with the Bissell Healthy Home. I was also extremely satisfied with the solid feel this vacuum has. Poor quality vacuums feel wobbly, and those vacuums tend to break down fairly quickly. A stable feel while pushing a vacuum cleaner is almost always a sign of a well made vacuum.The Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Vacuum has adopted the bottom opening debris bin trend Read more:Vacuum

Hello,Thanks for everyone who writes in asking me for my opinions on vacuum cleaners. Unfortunately I’m unable to answer you all so I decided to start writing some guides that can answer a lot of your questions. One of the most common emails I get starts out with “What’s the best upright vacuum cleaner?” It’s a question I was glad to answer for the first 50 times, but now it’s kind of wearing on me. So, for all of you who thought about emailing me today looking for advice on the best upright vacuum cleaner here’s my Guide to the Best Upright Vacuum Cleaners. I’ll update this page periodically as new models come out, manufacturers drop their prices, and anything else I can’t foresee happens. On to the show!Best Budget Upright Vacuum Cleaner: Hoover Tempo WidepathI’m sure this isn’t a surprise to some, but the best budget vacuum cleaner on the market right now has to be the Hoover Tempo Widepath.

He takes the remnants of old appliances from his shop and sculpts them into pieces of genuine art. My favorite piece is his giant robot that sits outside his shop.

Agility F6215900 WetVacVacuum Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 for being similar to other less expensive Hoover WetVacs.I sat down last night to do my normal hours worth of web browsing and spilled cranberry juice all over my carpet! Ughhh, I knew I had to break out my steamvac and clean it up before it had a chance to dry. After all was said and done I went through my notes and decided a wetvac review was in order. Today I bring you a review of the Hoover Agility F6215-900 WetVac.First thing I want to talk about is assembly. Hoover scored a lot of points for shipping the Hoover Agility fully assembled. The only thing a customer has to do upon receiving their vacuum is lift up the folding handle. Your Sensei wish more vacuum manufacturers would get that simple assembly is process will sell more vacuums. A lot of people in my shop complain about having to spend 15-20 minutes screwing in faceplates and missing washers.Your Sensei is a clean freak. Except for the guest roo Read more:Vacuum

Review: Eureka
4870HZ Boss Vacuum CleanerVacuum Rating: 3.5 Stars out of 5 for mediocre suction power, and saving from 2 stars for a sealed HEPA filter system.Vacuum Sensei here, just got done with another long, hot day at the shop. I really wish the air conditioning repairman would get here! I think my lack of air conditioning is costing me 5 customers a day! Anyway, your Sensei has decided to soldier on and type out another vacuum review based on the notes from his note pad. Today, I bring you a review of the Eureka 4870HZ Boss Vacuum Cleaner.There are several vacuum cleaners in Eureka’s Boss line and the 4870HZ is the big daddy of all the Boss models. This vacuum runs in the $180-$190 price range and comes with a couple extras to separate itself from the rest of the vacuum cleaners in this line.When I write a review I always check the official vacuum manual to see what assembly is like, then I’ll have one of the Padawans take it apart and put it back together to see
Reader Email: Clarify your Vacuum Ranking System 2007-09-24 15:22:00 Jeff wrote in "Why did the Hoover Tempo Widepath Receive 5 Stars and an obviously much more powerful vacuum like Bissell Momentum Upright receive 4 stars? Could you clarify your ranking system please?Thanks,Jeff"A few people have sent in some emails asking how why a vacuum like the Hoover Tempo Widepath received 5 stars while a clearly, more powerful vacuums received as little as 3 or 4 stars. The answer is simple. You don’t judge a Honda Civic by the features and performance of a Mercedes. They’re in two completely different classes and marketed to two entirely different demographics. When I write a review about a vacuum that costs a hundred bucks or less I’m comparing it to my experiences with other vacuums in that price range, not to a Miele, Dyson, or Oreck. Read more:Vacuum

VacuumVacuum Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 for being one of the most powerful residential vacuum cleaners on the market.Konichiawa!Your Sensei has another great vacuum review for you today! Last Saturday I asked a Johnny if he was willing to come in to the shop Saturday morning and help me test vacuums. School work was light this weekend for him and he was glad to come along. We spent about 6 hours testing about 15 vacuum cleaners. That should be enough reviews to keep me writing till the end of October! On to the review!Just before the Dominos delivery man dropped off our 3 for 5’s and Oreo pizza we tested out the Dyson DC07 Cyclone Animal Upright Vacuum. (Your Sensei just might write an Oreo Pizza review out of spite. One word sums up most of my sentiments “cardboard”.) One of my favorite features equipped on the DC07 and most other Dyson Vacuums is the “Hygienic Quick Empty” canister. This allows users to position the dust cani Read more:Vacuum

The wife that goes to work and comes home to vacuum for her family, the single college dorm guy who vacuums once a year for his annual keg party, and you. Yes you, the one who has dust allergies. It’s because I write for the average person I can’t recommend the Oreck Hypo-Allergenic Vacuum Cleaner; it’s simply not for the average person.Like most other people in the United States, your Sensei loves a bargain. I’ve been known to spend 20 bucks in gas to buy 2 for 3 dollar Big Macs, much to my stomach’s regret. Unlike the cheap Big Macs, the Oreck Hypo-Allergenic Vacuum doesn’t even seem to offer a good bargain. Let’s explore why your Sensei doesn’t think this vacuum warrants your hard earned dollars.One of the things Oreck hypes up is the “Intellashield” built into the handle and base of the vacuum Read more:Vacuum
Finding the Best Vacuum Cleaner 2007-09-22 16:33:00 This morning I woke up and did a search for “Choosing the Best Vacuum
Cleaner” on Google and found 10 generic search results that had roughly the same information. It’s so frustrating to see these generic guides written by “MFA’s” or made for adsense websites that rewrite each other’s articles in hopes they’ll generate a few bucks a day in advertising revenue. In an effort to make the internet a better place, your Sensei is going to post the most common questions people ask him in HIS VACUUM SHOP about buying the best vacuum cleaner.1: What are HEPA Filters? Do they work? What can they do for me? I know I’m going to be labeled a geek for knowing this but HEPA filters were actually developed for the Manhattan Project, the code name for atomic bomb research during World War II. HEPA filters purified the air to prevent radio active particles from polluting the air. The acronym means “High Efficiency Particle Arresting”.A vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filtration

71A Hand Held Vacuum CleanerVacuum Rating: 3.5 Stars out of 5 for having adequate cleaning power and a couple cool features but failing to deliver customer value and a cordless design.Konichiwa! Today your Sensei has a review of the Eureka 71A Hand-Held Vacuum. It’s not that often I get a hand held vacuum here at the dojo. Most people don’t bother to bring them in unless they’re covered under warranty. These things are simple enough to make so a vast majority of hand vacs outlive the length of their warranty and when they do break down it’s usually cheaper to buy a new one. Fortunately for my readers a cheapskate came in asking to have the Eureka 71A Hand Held Vacuum repaired.After I gave this man an estimate of $27 to fix his hand vac he said “no thanks.” I stopped the man just as he went for the door and said “I could use it, I’ll give you $10 bucks.” The man agreed and your Sensei has repaired the hand vac and gave it a thorough review.

Partly to boost my ego, but mostly to answer a question it seems I'll be getting regularly."Dear Wise Vacuum Sensei,I had been looking for a low cost vacuum that wasn't going to break down after a couple months. I scrolled through your reviews and found the Hoover Tempo Widepath. It was cheap and powerful, just like you said.

Hopefully your Sensei will be well enough to make it to the shop on Monday. If not, Johnny can handle things for another day or two. If worse comes to worse, I go to work a little under the weather.

VacuumVacuum Rating: 4 stars out of 5The truth about vacuums is they’re not all equal. Some lack a reasonable amount of features, some are way too expensive, and some have a track record of mechanical problems. I’m going to admit that I was on the fence about what to rate the Bissell 3910 Momentum Upright. I spent a lot of time trying to determine if this vacuum cleaner deserved 4 stars or a slightly below sub-par 3.5 stars. Your Sensei takes his vacuum reviews very seriously and I ended up sleeping on this one for a while. I wrote this about 3 days ago and finally came back to it this morning just before heading to the shop. Please know I took a lot of time to write this review in particular.Before I talk about the bad, I want to discuss the good. There’s a lot of good stuff about this vacuum.

The Hoover Tempo Widepath is the best performing upright vacuum cleaner I have ever received in my shop and when I did a little research on it, found that it sold for $70 bucks.

Before I pee my pants I want to write about why I liked this vacuum so much.I haven’t had the privilege of working on the Hoover Tempo Widepath till last week when a customer brought it in complaining it shut down after 15 minutes.

If I could afford one your Sensei would definitely keep one in his own home. They’re just so darn expensive.
