The Perfect Steam Professional Commercial Garment Steamer is Designed for Professional Cleaning Services & Heavy-Duty Home Users Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)WeLL, if you are reading this then I know you must be a part of that community, turned into a tribe, a cult of people looking high & low for that perfect steamer that first didn't cost an ARM & A Leg & part of your rent that you could actually afford and that actually works.
Well, your search is over; THIS IS IT.
Now for those of you who think $99 is too much-well you DO HAVE to SPEND some money for a generally well-made, thought out design.
The rest of us know that a lot of upright garmet steamers can & do cost $150-$400! so, let me tell you why I like this particular steamer.
#1: It relatively easy to set up. Just read the instructions (2) pages & look at the little diagrams..had I'd heeded my OWN Advice & not been so pig headed; I would of realize that the second adjustable bar was actually within the first one & it telescoped out to Any desired height that you want.
#2: There is an DEFINITE ON Switch that's located at the base that you must step on it like a vaccum cleaner lever to turn the machine on.
#3: The handle is simply activated by pressing the word 'STEAM'. You will then see these little hash marks indicating the levels of steam that you want.
#4: It has a large water well size (1/2 gallon milk) but it is SO EASY TO lift up and fill-you don't need to drag the whole machine over.
#5: It can last for 3 WHOLE Hours!, I kid you not!
#6: And Steam it does! It's not one of those pitiful hand held models that spit and spit and run out in 10 minutes (Joy Mangano) And it's not a handheld that although it make chuck & ruck it really only has uncontrolled steam for the first 2 minutes before it dies off (Shark-Euro Pro household clean steamer) and you have to wait before it can build up enough steam to actually be able to use it again & by then it's run out of water.
And it's not like that other Shark-Euro Pro Steam Press that will kill your arm because it's so heavy & spits.
#7:The thing that I like the most is the adjustable steam features: It only delivered steam when & where you'd wanted it.
I took the most crumpled ALL COTTON shirt & I was amazed at seeing how easily the wrinkles melted away & this steamer got hot enough to allow for creases to made easily (there's even a creasing tool).
But what I LIKE THE MOST was putting the little cloth boot on the head, dialing down the steam & using it over those 'princess' skirts. It was like butter. Right over those little mini colored plastic rhinestones,colored stones, woods, all sort of nifty embellishment. And I still had more than 1/2 of the water tank filled!
I did 4 skirts, 1 blouse, 1 pr. of linen pants! All, in one session! This machine has just paid for itself in the time & money it would of cost me going to the dry cleaners!
I know I must sound 'giddy' but it's so nice to have something that ACTUALLY WORKS!
And, Oh1 I forgot to tell you that it has clips at the top & Bottom to hold the garment snugly eliminating the need for a 'press board' but be cautioned! Until you get the hang of it, you might to use a ovennglove on one hand because it can really steam your garments hot! (a litte ouch after the pants!)
***Alhough this machine says that is made for by HoMedics; some of the newer models might have a label on the top & side of the box that reads "Home Touch"... if you'd look at the very bottom of the box on it's south in, you will find the HoMedics brand listed).

Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Dual-Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, 3920 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these fellas today after having just returned my Dyson. Yes, that's right, I RETURNED MY DYSON! To be honest, I am still scratching my head as to why so many people throw praise at the Dyson. I had one of their "Animal" vacuums for one day, and although it was a nice product... really, is it worth almost $500? I mean, I am talking about a LOT of money here, so why should you spend that much money on a vacuum cleaner?
The simple answer is that you don't have to. The Dyson Animal picked up just a small amount of debris from my fully-carpeted apartment when I tried it out. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser was almost half-full after I used it earlier today, only 12 hours after having using the Dyson.
I'm not sure what to make of this, to be honest. The Bissell (which costs about 1/3 the price of the Dyson) seems to do the job much better. Although the unit is quite bulky, and requires some assembly (the instructions were a joke), I have much cleaner floors as a result. And my biggest peeve about the Dyson was that, after paying all that money for a product that was called "The Animal," I still had to pay an extra $69 for the pet hair attachment! Is it me, or is someone trying to rip me off here? (Edit: I have been told that one of the Dyson Animal vacuums comes equipped with the aforementioned attachment).
As for the Bissell, it comes with all of the attachments that you will ever need, and did a great job on my upholstery as well as my carpets. Although the hose isn't as long as the Dyson, I was able to clean everything that I needed to clean without any setbacks.
My conclusion is this - if you believe that a Mercedes Benz is the best car out there because of its price tag, then you will probably be better off with a Dyson. However, if you just want a vacuum cleaner that does a decent job regardless of how much it costs, then go with the Bissell.
Simply put, my Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vacuum cleaner does a better job than the Dyson Animal, plus I have an extra $300 in my pocket.
Now, does that seem like a no-brainer to you?-Update 04/04/2009-
People keep asking me how the vacuum is performing now, so I'm going to address this matter. I'm still happy with my purchase and stand by it. No, the Pet Hair Eraser is not perfect, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. However, it does a great job of cleaning my carpets, still, and I have only had to replace the belt once because of my own mistake. Looking at the other reviews, it seems like people either love it or hate it. My advice, if you are unsure, would be to purchase one from a nearby store so that you can return it if you are not happy.
-Update 10/12/2009-
The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser finally passed away just recently. So, we managed to get two years out of it. Some of you will think that is good for a $150 vacuum cleaner, whereas others will have higher expectations. As for me, I think that we got more than our money's worth. It performed great until just recently, when it simply stopped working the way it used to. Let me make it clear that we vacuum a lot in our household - at least once a day - so this thing got put through its paces. We're happy with what we got out of the Bissell, and will be buying another here soon. Although, we may just go ahead and get the slightly cheaper Pet Eraser (model #4101) from Walmart this time.

Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor, this upright bagless vacuum cleaner offers a unique design that not only handles general cleaning throughout the house, but also effectively removes pet hair.

It also comes with a 4-inch Pet TurboBrush, which uses a rotating brush action for small flat areas, such as cushions and beds, and a 4-inch Pet Contour Tool, which bends and flexes to effectively pull dirt and hair from hard-to-reach areas. In addition, the vacuum cleaner offers seven manual carpet-height settings, a 15-inch cleaning path, dual-edge cleaning, and HEPA media filtration to help remove dust, dander, and other allergens from the air.

Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum, WindTunnel T-Series, UH70105 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Usually I won't buy a product on Amazon without seeing at least one customer review...but at $100 I thought I'd take a chance. I wanted a lightweight vacuum with good power, one that was bagless, able to pick up animal hair, and wouldn't cost me a fortune long-term with replacement filters. So far, this vacuum fits all those criteria.
PROS
- Easy to put together. It took me about 4 minutes once the pieces are out of the box. A Philips screwdriver is required to secure the handle. There's nothing complicated here.
- Long cord. Plus, there's a little cord clip up near the handle to secure the cord.
- Power. I was surprised to see how quickly this cleaned up and how much it got out of my carpet, even after my Roomba had taken a turn just before. Very good at getting fine cat hair out of a medium-pile carpet.
- Lightweight. You sacrifice a motor (i.e. it's not self-propelled), but the darn thing is so light it hardly matters. I had no trouble pushing this thing around; in fact, I found it easier to push without the motor than my bigger, heavier Bissell bagless vacuum (which weight about 10 pounds more but was self-propelled). It weighs about 15 pounds. Plus, the top of the canister serves as an additional handle for the entire vacuum, so you can pick it up in two different places.
- Easy to empty. The bottom of the canister is hinged. Push the button to unlock the canister from the vacuum, bring the canister to your garbage, and push the latch (easy to do) on the front of the canister. The darn thing just empties right out. (Just be sure you've got it over the garbage when you do!)
- Filters. The packaging says you never need to replace the HEPA filter (located at the top of the canister), and the canister's cone filter is apparently rinsable. I haven't had to deal with either yet.
CONS
One star off because of the little noises associated with operation. First, there was this weird chirping sound for about 5 minutes after using it the first time. It did, however, go away - looks like it was literally a squeaky wheel. And second, once you get something of weight in the canister, like a tiny piece of gravel, it whirls around and around and around...and you hear it whirl around and around...it's pretty loud. But overall, neither of these would keep me from purchasing again.
