Our Summary

This compact Electrolux canister vacuum is excellent for all kinds of floors. Its built-in sensor system monitors the unit’s performance and the type of surface it is used upon to regulate suction power to maximum efficiency. Further modifications can be made from the convenient fingertip controls on the wand handle. The microseal fresh air technology with sealed HEPA filtration ensures that up to 99.97 percent of allergens and other ultrafine particles are captured, whereas the filter and bag indicators signal when it is time replace these and empty the unit.

The wand is telescopic and thus adjustable to the height of the user. The 360 degree swivel of the wand ensures maximum mobility even in spite of the 14 inch wide cleaning path of the standard suction head. This head can be replaced with the accompanying crevice tool or the motorized suction head for increased effectiveness in hard-to-reach places or on softer materials. The vacuum also comes with dusting, upholstery and floor/wall brushes, one of each, that are fitted with clips for convenient storage on the vacuum handle. Customers rate this product highly for its quietness and powerful performance, but mention that the bag change indicator does not always come on when it should.

Our Summary

The iRobot Scooba Floor-washing robot is a cordless autonomous cleaning unit that is best employed on but not necessarily limited to sealed hardwood, tile or linoleum floor. It runs on rechargeable batteries that together with a charging base are included in the purchase. A single charge of these batteries is enough for the robot to cover 250 square feet. Its four-step floor-washing procedure is initiated by the push of a button. First it cleans up hard debris. Next it washes the floor with water, a mix of water and vinegar or Clorox Scooba cleaning solution; depending on the preferences of the user. Then it scrubs the floor to remove dirt and grime, after which it squeegee-lifts the remaining dirty water from the floor. Afterwards all you need to do is to empty the water tank. The cliff sensor technology lets the unit avoid carpets, rugs, ledges, furniture items and stairs on its own while extending its usefulness to hard-to-reach places such as under beds and tables. If further restrictions need to be imposed upon the robot’s area of operations the accompanying infrared virtual wall can be used to mark off-limit areas. Reviews confirm the ease-of-use and relative efficiency of the product. They also mention that most technical error messages are easily solved without consulting customer service.

Our Summary

The Dyson DC31 is a small, canister-style model. Its lightness and balanced, ergonomic weight distribution makes it an easily handled portable cleaning aid. Its digital motor is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and emits no carbon brushes or carbon dust. The energy star power adapter keeps the battery juiced up for when you need it. The dual power mode lets you choose between extending the battery time, lasting up to a total of ten minutes, or increased suction for heavier debris for up to six minutes.

If usage on soft materials or in hard to reach places is desired the DC31 comes with an accessory tool and a crevice tool that can be fitted to the original suction head. As a bag-free application, the DC31 can be emptied straight into the rubbish bin after cleaning. Moreover its filters are washable and therefore never need to be replaced.

Buyers of this product rate it as convenient and particularly effective on hardwood floors or other smooth surfaces. More than a few customers also claim that the product makes cleaning fun. Moreover testimonies suggest that while the battery time may seem short, the DC31 is only powered up when pressure is applied to the on-button. As power is therefore only drained while you are actively using suction, and not while you are moving around, the battery is more than sufficient for small to medium-sized cleaning projects.

The Miele s4212 Neptune Canister is a light, powerful and unusually silent vacuum cleaner that runs on a 1200 watts Miele-made vortex motor. Noise insulation quiets the s4212 in spite of its powerful engine, and in addition to that the suction control rotary dial on the canister has the dual function of both regulating its sound and modifying the degree of suction to fit your needs. Its sealed air system traps efficiently traps and contains dust.

With the addition of an optional filter it has the potential to remove up to ninety-nine point five per cent of dust particles sized 0.3 micron or more while simultaneously preventing unpleasant odors.

Our summary

The Hoover FloorMate Spinscrub 800 is a multi-purpose cleaning aid that vacuums, buffs, wet-cleans and squeegee-dries. It sports separate solution and recovery tanks so as to prevent the re-use of dirty water that is synonymous with using a mop. It can be safely and effectively applied to ceramic tiles, sealed hardwood, marble, vinyl and laminate surfaces. Use the selection dial to switch between different cleaning modes or the handle’s fingertip trigger control to regulate the flow of cleaning solution.

The Hoover FloorMate comes with a set of seven brushes of different effects as well as bristles for cleaning tile grout. These accessories are detachable and can therefore easily be washed. A tote, a hose and telescoping wand with swivel nozzle are also included, as are floor-to-floor cleaning solutions.

Reviewers like the FloorMate’s efficiency in removing tile grout. Its separate solution and recovery tanks are also appreciated by many, but critique has on the other hand been voiced on the low volumes of these reservoirs and the subsequent need to frequently empty or refill them. Many customers also highlight the small amount of cleaning fluid that is supplied for what is generally perceived to be a high price. However these are hardly major concerns when weighted against the overall efficiency of the unit.

Our Summary

Eureka Heavy Duty C2094-G

As with many “commercial,” “industrial,” or “professional” product categories, consumer reviews voiced varied opinions about the best commercial vacuum. Three vacuums stepped up as top contenders for Editor’s Choice in this product category — the Hoover Commercial Elite C1404 hardside, the Oreck XL Pro Backpack and the popular Eureka Heavy Duty C2094-G vacuum.

While the Oreck was exceptionally well-received amongst professional cleaners and expert reviewers, the Eureka tipped the scales with extremely positive consumer reviews at websites like Amazon.com and Lowes.com. The Hoover was heralded, too, as a solid vacuum for a reasonable price that gets the job done, but the glowing reviews of the Eureka made this vacuum an easy choice for best commercial vacuum cleaner.

In applications where you need multiple, high-quality and durable vacuum cleaners, the Eureka C2094-G is often the go-to model. Restaurants, hotels and large house and office cleaning companies use this model because of its low price and durability. Many reviewers commented they’d had their Eureka commercial vacuum for many years — and even decades. Reviewers also liked the 50-foot cord, the suction power, and the vacuum’s ease-of-use.

While the Oreck has more bells and whistles — and a convenient, lightweight backpack design — the Eureka is a durable, easy-to-use commercial vacuum cleaner that will stand the test of time.
