Hoover HOOVER 91001201 AGITATOR BRUSH ROLLER



"Knockoff" vs. "Replacement"
Hoping to clear up some confusion out there among the masses about the difference between a "Knockoff" part and a "Replacement" part, and NO, I don't work for Crucial. I work in vacuum repair in N.Cali. The item image shows a grey plastic agitator in the picture (as they were when these vacuums were first made), but it comes as blackened wood with plastic end caps. It IS a factory authorized "replacement", also known as a "Original Equipment Manufacturer" part or OEM part. Crucial should still describe that fact if they want more stars, but nothing overtly dishonest is going on here. "Knockoffs" are parts or accessories made by companies without license from the OEM, using backward engineering, sample measurements etc. Such is NOT the case here. As we've all seen, manufacturers change designs on certain components after a some years, like belts, bags, etc. A agitator from a Self-Propelled Windtunnel vac 15-20 years ago can change in design to one bought yesterday. Eventually, the...

Wrong picture
The brush in the picture representing my purchase is nothing like the ones I received. I received the 'replacement' for the original brush. No notice from Hoover for the change or anyone else for that matter. I am no longer confident in Hoover of which I have 3 vacuumes and one Steam Vac. I have purchased 4 agitator brush rollers . . . all by model number or part number . . . all have been misrepresented by the photo on all 3 web sites! Put the correct picture with the product . . . you don't look so good if you send something different than what you imply you are sending. It's been an expensive, frustrating, and unenjoyable experience but I wish to thank everyone who has 'educated' me on buying on line.

Hoover knock off
Great knock off, made of wood so that when the belt slips it won't melt the roller like mine did from my wife and daughters hair getting all cloged up. I repair vacumes at work and this brand makes knock offs for windsor brand vacumes and they work great. I would rather have the wood than the plastic.

Kenmore 51195 Magic Blue Bags - Generic - 3 Pack



The Question Still Persists
Well I went ahead and purchased this product even with the question of 8 or 3. The first shipment that I received was a whole package of 8, contacted the company because I had purchased 2 packs, they were very quick in resolving the missing pack, BUT the second shipment that I received they opened the original package and sent me 3 bags out of the pack. I would be weary of this company or any company that opens packages to send partials.

Deceptive Advertising.
This company shows a package of Kenmore Type M 51195 Vacuum bags containing 8 bags. They then say they will ship you a 3 pack for $6.73. It appears that they will ship you 3 packs containing 8 bags each for $6.73. However, they will only ship you 3 bags for 6.73, making the price for each bag $2.25. Another vendor will sell the same 8 count bag package for $7.85. At this price, the bags are only $.99 apiece. Do not buy from this vendor unless you want to pay over twice as much per bag for the same thing.

An easy search
I thought it would be tough to get bags for this vaccum at my mother's house, but I found it right away on Amazon and the price was pleasantly inexpensive and included delivery. I'll keep ordering. The bags work great.

Euroflex Monster Floor Steam Cleaner Blue EZ1



The steam mop SHOW DOWN: Results of steam mop first hand comparisons & studying of comps
(update: This review was updated on 11-2-09 after I got to compare the Bissell as well as add notes about the Ladybugg steamer at the bottom)

I live in a neighborhood where EVERY home is "green built certified" this means that, to have that certification, the builder built no homes with carpet. All the main floors are polished concrete and the upper floors wood. The bathrooms all have tile and/or slate in every home.

Because of this, as you could imagine, steam mops are quite the neccessity...not only because they get the hard surfaces better than anything else, but because they are also "green" and clean chemical free. I'll be honest, for us...that's a bonus but we weren't cleaning chemical free before. We like chemical free for our pet's paws but I'll confess I was mopping with chemicals before I got my steamer and just kept the pets out of the room while doing it because, up until then, I couldn't get it clean any other way.

Okay, so that said...we...

A Monster Cleaner
This little cleaner is awesome!! And I mean awesome! I only use it on tile, so keep that in mind, but it does a WONDERFUL job. The steam powerfully removes dirt and dried on stuff. I was so impressed the first time I used it and that feeling continues. There's very little "scrubbing" involved, just pushing - and that's not too hard, though a little harder than a regular mop. The beauty is that you don't feel like you're pushing dirt around the floor like you do with a regular mop. It really seems to come up and stick to the microfiber cloth (I always vacuum before mopping too). I even did a paper towel test on a section of tile that I'd mopped with the Monster - no dirt on the paper towel. Now that's impressive. It does take about 5 minutes to heat up when filled with cold water, the handle is a little flimsy for my taste, and yes, it doesn't reach all the way under cabinets because of the way it's designed, but the cleaning power outweighs any of these issues. Hope this...

Miele Microset SMC20



Great addition
I love this Miele Micro Kit. I was hesitant to purchase it because of the price but it is well worth it. Used it to get through the radiator grille to vacuum the coil and with the flexible extension it is so easy to clean book shelves.

Great Product!
If you are looking for a car detail kit...this is probably too small a set. This has been great for home electronics, jewelry drawers, kitchen drawers and sucking up pet hair and dust from the wires that sit on the floor behind my TV and computer. I did use this in my car, but found I preferred larger attachments. I will probably be uying the car kit in addition to this. I dont think I'll be using this as much as I intended to, but I'm glad we have it.

Works as I intended
I bought this set of miniature tools primarily to dust the tops of my thousands of books. The little rectangular brush works perfectly for this purpose. The tools are tiny, but that makes the brush fit the top of the pages,in the groove between the front and back covers of the books. I think it's a gentler method than dusting the tops of the books, which might inadvertently push some of the dust into the paper or down the spine. This attachment makes quick work of dusting books. I just tip each book out from the shelf, run the little brush over the top of the pages and whoosh! the dust is gone. My books are cleaner than they've been in years.

I have also used the little round brush for cleaning my laptop and the surface of my desk, and again it did a better job than a dust rag. Instead of redistributing dust, it removes it, and it can be used among delicate objects.

This set does what I hoped it would, and I am sure I will find more uses for it as time goes on.

Hoover FloorMate Hard Floor Cleaner with SpinScrub - FH40005



good but ...
I had a FloorMate awhile back. That model allowed you to scrub and pick up the water separately. This model picks the water up as you scrub, so you end up using more water (and solution). The solution tank is small (1 qt, so you are filling it after about 100 sq feet of cleaning. The machine works but I preferred the other model. Also, the solution is too expensive ($49.00/gallon). The mix ratio is 1 cup per gallon.

Streaky floors
I did get dirty water in the recovery tank, but the floors were still so streaky. I bought this at a Costco warehouse and I am returning it today. I really wanted to like it. I think the problems might be related to just this model. I might try another model. This one does not allow you to run the wet vac independently. It leaves a lot of solution at the "bottom" of your cleaning pattern, which is bad for hardwood. I'm really not happy with it.

Best Ever!
I have ceramic floors thru-out my house and I love this cleaner! I can wash and clean my floor and the amount of dirt that comes up is amazing! I am truly impressed with the cleaning of the brushes, the cleaning solution has a very pleasant smell and it is easy to load, clean and use! With 2 dogs I keep this handy for daily use!

Works perfect for my Bissell Opticlean Cansister hepa vacuum. I got 2 filters in the package. I would recommend this item.

I recently broke the original filter that came with my vac. Since it was over a year old I didnt know if I would be able to find a replacement filter. Here it was on Amazon...now my vac works like it is new again! I am delighted!

35ft Low Voltage On/Off Hose with Button Lock



Overpriced junk with ZERO customer service
As a frequent Amazon buyer and reviewer, I rely on honest reviews when making a purchase. I hope my review prevents someone from making the mistake of buying this piece of trash. This was purchased through a 3rd party seller who seemed to be honest and reliable. I even went to their website and read all of the glowing reviews (which I now KNOW for a FACT are completely fabricated) and boasts of exceptional customer service. What a joke! This hose is very, very poorly made:

1) The hose is constructed from an extremely thin plastic. With minimal movement, it twists upon itself and kinks, completely cutting off suction. It is more prone to kinks than imaginable. I can hardly get a few feet without a kink.

2) The hose texture is rough and beats the heck out of everything it brushes against. It is also very loud as it moves across the floor. (I am STILL waiting for my exorbitantly priced sock cover to arrive, if it ever does)

3) The white color leaves marks...

Kinky Hose
I cannot recommend this hose as it has a tendency to kink at every turn. The quality is just not there but at 35' and this price it may be worth the cost?

Nearly Perfect in every way.
Great quality hose & at a great price. My attachment doesn't fit perfectly in the handle end, so it goes in further than the button lock but still makes a perfect vacuum seal. So, my vacuum works great again. I'll buy it again.

Sanitaire True HEPA Commercial Bagless/Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, Red



Solid
I received mine today, but since there are no other reviews I'll go ahead and share first impressions now, and come back and update later. (If I do not update, it's probably because I haven't had any problems, right?)

It's more durable and solid feeling than its picture might make it look. The handles are comfortable. The canister removes and inserts easily and definitely, and there's a handle in the back to make it easier to empty. I never thought I'd be talking about how convenient it is to empty a vacuum, but it's pretty nice. There's also a carry handle on the vacuum (for stairs, etc), which isn't as comfortable but is functional and convenient. The filters are easy to access and fairly foolproof. The attachments are simple friction fit and also seem fairly durable and foolproof. In general, the machine deserves the "commercial" part of its name. I do worry whether the "snap in place" cover for the HEPA filter may wear out or break over time.

9 Kenmore 50688 50590 Allergen Filtration Vacuum Bags Fit Also Panasonic U-2, and Miele Upright Type Z vacuum cleaners; Compare to Kenmore Upright Part # 50688; Designed & Engineered By Crucial Vacuum



Bags fit and work great
This 9-pack of bags I ordered arrived on time and fit great. They're a good fit for our Kenmore upright vac, requiring bag "U" or #50688. These bags are made of a good quality synthetic filter media. As with some vacuum bags online, you have to watch out for "seconds" that were rejected by the manufacturer, as out of spec (don't fit or work right). But there is no problem here, as these bags are first quality in "form-fit-and function". We will buy these again.

Vacuum Filtration bags on the Cheap!
I really like these bags and think that they are every bit as good as the Kenmore brand bags. They are an excellent value and are of great quality for a fraction of the cost!

Vacuum Bags
This is my second purchase of these bags. LOVE them. They are half the price of the Sears brand and I can't tell the difference. Great product!!

Dirt Devil Quick Flex 2-in-1 Hand Vacuum - BD20050



Limited Battery Life
Over the long haul, I cannot remember when I didn't have a Dirt Devil vacuum of some kind. As far as hand helds go, Dirt Devil ruled. As long as my Dirt Devil was corded, I knew I was in business. Then came the battery powered models. Dirt Devils got lighter, and their ability to suck the varnish off the hardwood floors disappeared. That's when I stopped buying Dirt Devil products. I was assured that things have changed in the battery powered vacuum world. So imagine my hesitation when given the opportunity to test drive this Dirt Devil Flex 2-1 model. After four days of continuous use, these are my thoughts.

After a quick inventory and reading of the instructions it was time to charge up and hope for the best. The on board light blinks when fully charged. Weighing in at just a little over 5 lbs it is indeed a light weight. At almost 23" in length this unit is not built for tall people. The very first thing that caught my attention is that like my older Dirt Devils, this...

Nice Compact Vac for Light Duty Use
I really like this little Dirt Devil Quick Flex 2-in-1 Hand Vacuum - BD20050. Now obviously, this compact vacuum cleaner really isn't meant for those heavy duty vacuuming chores, though I have been running up my living room floor (wood) with it. Very light weight and cordless, I find it great for getting under the futon. The hand vacuum does a great job on upholstery (there is an upholstery brush included), releases and reattaches easily and is light enough that even I can use it one handed.

The vacuum has a very small footprint. The handle folds down to make it even smaller, making this a real space saver for tight places, an ideal vac to carry in your camper or motor home. (Folded the vacuum cleaner measure about 24 inches from the floor to the top and about 11 inches from the front of the brush roller to the back of the widest part of the folded handle.)

Like all items that come with...

I Love it!!!
This vacuum is absolutely perfect for quick cleaning. I have 2 cats shedding like there's no tomorrow. I use this vac for 5 minutes every morning and now my house is free of cat hair without having to drag out my heavy vacuum. I am very happy... thank goodness for small favors.

Here are just some of pros and cons:

Pros:
- light, easy to handle and maneuver
- decent suction (picks up cat hair and cat litter alike - much better than an electric sweeper I use to use)
- easy to clean
- works well on carpet as well as hardwood and linoleum
- reasonanbley priced

Cons:
- battery lasts about 15 minutes

Can't really think of many cons. For $40 (including shipping), this vac works just as well as more expensive vacs in its category. I would give this 4 1/2 stars.

Hoover Platinum Cyclonic Canister Vacuum with Power Nozzle, Bagless, S3865



Solid performer for this price point
To start, I should mention that I'm hard on vacuums. We have different flooring types, multiple levels in the house, animals, long hair and children, as well as living in a never ending construction zone in the center of allergy alley. Thus, I need a fairly heavy performing vacuum that manages flooring transitions as well as being able to do stairs and furniture.

If that weren't asking a lot already, I need it to be heavy enough to be multifiltered and high powered, but light enough that I can tote it up the stairs.

I've had the Platinum Hoover Canister for a 3 months now, and I've been pleased with the performance. This one replaced a previous Windtunnel, and while I miss a few things from the old version (like different power settings), all in all, the new version outperforms the older version.

Pros:
Suction is fantastic. Transitioning from area rugs to hardwoods and then to carpet is easy. Super long power cord lets you do multiple areas...

Great for 7 weeks, in for repair 4 weeks...MAKE THAT 5 (it's 8 now ) WEEKS
This was purchased because of the positive reviews & Consumer Report's recommendation.

I was amazed at the performance of this product. I wanted to get a higher priced vac & was glad I did...at first. It sucked up animal hair & stray cat litter with great efficiency on both carpet & wood floors.

It was also the quietest vac I've ever heard...in fact, on the 8th attempt to use it, there was no noise AT ALL!

After vacuuming a 2 bedroom house 7 times, it wouldn't start. The power got to the machine but pushing the start button did nothing.

Since I live in a rural town between 2 major cities to the north & south, I'd have to drive at least 45 miles to get this repaired. So I contacted "Hoover's Exclusive Platinum Collection (TM) Member Services Line" ....impressive,eh?...I hope the folks working there get paid by their title, because all they do (& can do) is punch in your ZIP & tell u the location of the service center.

They told me...

AWESOME!!!!
I received this Vacuum about a month ago. This is the first canister vacuum I have ever owned. The suction works great on carpet and my hard wood floor as well. It does not kick dust and debri back out like my old vacuum did. It fits nicely under my couches, beds, and dining room table. I love that you can adjust the level of suction so you can use it on different throw rugs in the house. The dirt trap needs to be emptied often. I carry a plastic bag with me and empty when needed. It helps keep dust down. The hose detaches easily at the top near handle or at the bottom at the touch of a button with your foot. It is not loud either. Overall I am very happy with this vacuum. I am glad I purchased after reading tons of other reviews on other vacuums.

H20 3-in-1 Ultra Steam Mop



Better than hands and knees!
I have had the Thane H20 Mop Ultra for several months and have used it at least once a week, sometimes more, since we purchased it. I have not had the problems that some of the other reviewers have had. It did puddle a little the first time I used it, but the instructions say to expect that. It has not done that again. It cleans the floor very well and if there is something really stuck on, I go over it a few times and it comes up. Here are the pros, cons, and suggestions for use:

Pros:
No chemicals
With comfort taken into consideration, better than hands and knees cleaning (which was previously my preferred method because it cleans better than any mop)
Doesn't take very long to clean my kitchen floor

Cons:
The microfiber cloths come off if they get too wet
You have to move rather quickly to prevent the heads from getting too wet
You have to have the mop head at an angle or else it comes off the floor when you're pulling it back...

HORRIBLE MOP - BEWARE!
I have never written a review before, but I felt I had to with this one! I bought this mop 2 years ago and have only used it a few times because every time I try it I get frusterated all over again. I have been on the search for the best mop out there and this seemed to be the answer - WRONG!! The pad doesn't stay on the machine, it slides right off each time I use it. My husband has tried tightening it several different ways, but each time after a few minutes it slides off again. Plus when you go to put it back on it's HOT because of the steam. It takes SO much longer to mop my floor with this mop. Now when it works, it does a pretty good job, but you have to hold it in place for at least 15 seconds on hard spots to get them clean. The cord is constantly getting in the way as well. I do like the hand held steamer to clean other things, so that is why I kept it, but now after having it 2 years and only using it a handful of times, the steam stopped working!! SERIOUSLY!!! I am...

THANE ARE CROOKS!!
I ordered the mop for my wife directly from their website, but no one will see my review there. I am sure they will just remove it. Anyways, I will start by saying this mop is the biggest piece of junk ever made! It is not at all user friendly. Of course since it is a mop that is what we tried first, using it as the mop. It stuck to the floor, didn't clean anything and just kept puddling. I tried to turn it off and to no avail it stayed on. I am all about second chances so I tried it in the shower, did absolutely nothing but pull the sealant out of the cracks in the tile.
The worst part is that I went to return it and they told me I was going to be out shipping and handling which was over $40. I got my return number and sent it back. The return postage cost me $25 to be back. I paid about $170 for this thing and lost $65 on postage. I would not recommend this product to anyone. If you buy it after readiung this review, you are crazy! I am not exaggerating at all. You have been...

Steamfast SF-147WH Everyday Steam Mop



What a Great Steam Mop!
My first steam mop would take 10-15 minutes to heat up, it held quite a bit water but that left me picking up a heavy mop to dump out the excess water. When this mop arrived it was very light weight a plus, held only 12 ounces of water which I wondered if I would have to keep re-filling it. Well, what amazed me was the mop cleaned my kitchen floor, small laundry room floor, master bath room and toilet area, second bath and then removed a stain on my rug that my other steamer couldn't remove. Love, Love this mop, light weight, heats up fast, moves easily, fits under my kitchen and bathroom cabinet with ease and cleaned all my floors with 12 ounces of water. And it is so easy to fill!

Good but does not fit EXACTLY like original filter did.... but its a close second for a different brand

Poor.
This filter does not stay in place after inserted and twisted into the Dust Cup. It dislodges and is bouncing all over in the dust cup and the dirt is going into the motor because the Filter is not in place. Beware there is only a 30 day warranty. Crucial Vacuum Inc. will not help. The problem didn't start until after the 30 days. When I contacted them they said to replace after 6 months. Than why do they state in description to wash after 6 months and not to replace? Very disappointed.

We can't get this filter from our local store and were nursing the old filter along. Then our puppy got a hold of it. Goodbye filter! Since we can't find it locally, I got online and did a search. Lo and behold! Amazon had it. The price was good so I ordered it. It is a perfect fit and our vacuum works better than it has for quite a while. Gee, the things a new filter will do! *grin*

Vacuum Filter
So far this product is working exactly how I expected it to. The last filter lasted a long time...I probably kept it in the vacuum longer than it should have been, but there was still never a large decrease in overall suction. It was easy to put on, and has helped keep extra dust from flying around in the air.

Kenmore 5023/5033 Single Wall Vacuum Bags - 3 Pack [Kitchen]



Works fine and reasonable "delivered" price
I have one of those "old" vacuum cleaners .. a vacuum will last many, many years so it's nice that you can still get these bags. Being able to get three bags for under $5 delivered to my door was great! The "paper" was not quite as thick as the old bag (it may even filter "better" than the old.. I can't say), but goes in fine and works perfectly well. I'm quite happy about the purchase experience. They arrived quickly.. only a couple of days after order.

Good product
It's good I can still get these. I got my Kenmore vacuum used at a swap meet in '81 and after only one replacement hose later, it's still going strong.

Older machine still working
Was glad to find bags for my forty year old acuum cleaner. Although the Model number was only similar it was a relief to find the af fit and worked

Shark Pocket Steam Mop Triangle Microfiber Pads S3501 Deluxe



too small
these did NOT fit my steam mop. they were 1/2 too small on each side. the buyer did refund my money after i returned them. not worth the trouble.

Shark Triangular pads
Unfortunately, I was sent the wrong item. I had requested the triangular pads and received the rectangular ones. I will keep them only because I can also use them, but really needed the triangular ones.

Good price
It's a good price on this product and they fit and work very well. I use the triangle mops more than the rectangle one.

Water Supply Expandable Flexible Garden 75ft X-hose



Horrible Product, Do Not Buy
I bought an X-hose and it was the worst purchase I've ever made when it comes to gardening supplies. After a month which amounted to approximately 10 total uses of the product I suddenly heard a loud "pop!" noise from the hose. Water immediately stopped flowing from the nozzle and upon inspection I could feel that the inner rubber hose under the outer fabric layer had ruptured. I returned it to the store and exchanged it for a new X-hose, believing that I had purchased a defective one and that the next one would be better. I was wrong. The next hose lasted a mere 3 weeks before the inner rubber layer ruptured in almost the same fashion that the first one had. What really upsets me about this is that I paid a premium price for what I thought was a good product, used it gently and took care to carefully store it, and still had two X-hoses rupture in 7 weeks as I might expect from a hose that costs $2 at a dollar store. Don't waste your time and money on this abysmally poor product. I...

Didn't even last a month
I love the idea of this hose but like other reviews stated, the hose did not last. I only used this hose maybe 6 times before it sprung a leak in the middle of the hose. Do not waste your money!

Faulty construction
Mine starting leaking at the spray nozzle so I took it apart to see if it could be fixed and found the inner rubber conductor is not glued to the plastic nozzle so after it is used a while it leaks...and there is no fix...I bought a second one and it ruptured at the other end for the same reason...it is only good for very low pressure usage...good idea but bad manufacture. Too bad they cannot make it work...I wonder why...

Bissell BISSELL 2036717 PUMP ASSEMBLY



AWESOME
Im so happy this worked. I thought I was going to have to buy a new rug cleaner, but I just paid a fraction of that by buying this. My machine now works like new. If your machine is not spraying fluid, more than likely this will fix it. I would first clean your heater, hoses and nozzles. Then if that doesnt work, buy this. Good luck

Works well - but include diagram
The new one works fine (as it should) It would be helpful to include a hose diagram.(or the web address to the diagram) I originally hooked up the wrong hose to the wrong connection. There are quite a few connections when you take this pump out and the valve right above it also has to be disconnected. I was eventually able to find the hose diagram on-line then all was good.

Perfect!
Exactly what it is and as advertised. Odd packaging but that is okay, it arrived in perfect shape and it was a great price to fix our Bissell.

Bissell 2106679 Style 8 Replacement Belts



Fixed my brush
My brushes had been stopping when I vacuumed. I ordered these. When I removed the old belt, it was twice the size of the new one, which explained why the brush didn't work. The new one works great, and my vacuum cleaner cleans again.

Generic Eureka 4870 Smart Vac 1 Year Supply Kit



Belt - not fitting
I ordered this item only for the vaccum belt. My vaccume is Eureka The Boss SmartVac model 4870. This doesnt fit and the belt is very loose. Confirmed the motor is running and the pully is totally. The brush drum is not rotating at all.
What a waste of time and money!!!

A really good deal.
Am very pleased with the great buy for so many filters found in the supply kit. I feel well supplied for a long while

A great deal to keep your machine up and running properly!
I knew I needed a new belt for my Eureka vac, and the last time I purchased it from Eureka it took way too long to get it. This was the best alternative to piecemeal purchasing. The belt, motor filter, AND Hepa filter AND nine more RR bags! What a deal, now I know the machine is getting cleaner air and doing its best to keep dirt and dander out of the air (we have a parrot), also we can breathe a bit easier knowing that the machine will last longer and in this economy, that is a GOOD THING!

Kenmore Bagless HEPA media filter Canister Vacuum , bare floors and carpets, 24194



Kenmore Bagless HEPA
My daughter already has this Bagless Hepa Vacuum and has been tremendously satisfied with it. I have just moved in my new apartment and I have decide to order it. It has very nice design and look, easy to clean and efficient. There is reconstruction going on at the building where I moved in and the dust from outside entered inside two rooms today. I had a chance to use my new cleaner and I am really VERY pleased.

Great little vacuum
I bought this to do quick cleanups as I have a larger Dyson I use for major cleaning. It does a very good job picking up the dog hair on my wood floors and is ok on my oriental rugs (not as good as the Dyson for those). This wouldn't work as well on thicker carpets. It has very good suction and is light, making it easy to pull around the house. The cord isnot very long, so I have to use an extension cord with it so I don't haveto keep unplugging and moving the cord to another outlet. I think this would be perfect for a small house or apartment with bare floors. I like that it's bagless, as buying bags is annoying. It'snot difficult to clean it. All in all, I would say it's a great little vaccum at a very reasonable price. I've only had it for a couple of months, so I hope it holds up over time.

good for hard floors
Has good suction. Could have a bigger brush attachment and longer cord, but then it would be bigger yet. Easy to clean

HQRP HEPA Cartridge Filter fits Shop-vac 903-04-00 for Wet / Dry Pickup + HQRP Coaster



Perfect replacement for orginal
Washed it several times now and still going. Just as good of a filter as the original paper one that came with the vac. why do they use a paper one but to make more money later on replacement paper filters?

Good but misses a little
It works fairly well except that for my shop vac you need to cover the bottom with plastic to prevent the sucked up stuff from going that route instead of through the filter. Still it's pretty cheap so I aint complaing I am just explaining. ;)

Nice quality filter and washable as advertised.
I ordered two of these with the hope that they were washable as advertised and indeed they are so it was a great find and the price was better than anything I could find locally even for the non-washable type. I'll be buying more in the future... David ...Anchorage, Alaska

Fuller Brush Workhorse Commercial Carpet Sweeper



David L.
Having lunch at an Olive Garden, we noticed a large family with rather messy children. After they left, we observed the cleanup. Wait staff used this sweeper which made quick work of the mess. Naturally, we asked for the name on the sweeper and oedered one as soon as we got home. What a nice clean-up tool!

A surprise package for sure!
This little fuller brush workhorse is true to its name. When I first opened it I was a little bit in disbelief but it does just what it says it would...

great item
I love this thing. It is great for times when you don't need, or want to drag out the vacuum. Works well on carpets, as well as bare floors.

NOT the filter that is pictured
Please change the picture and item description. This filter does not fit in an electrolux oxygen vacuum and is not the one pictured. Amazon is sending a return label. Thank you Amazon.

Product is great, had slight problem with seller
These are standard filters that look exactly like the original I was replacing. So no problem with the product. My only problem is there were only two in the package when it arrived, not three. The plastic bag they were in had been torn open and one filter had been removed. I did contact Amazon and they credited me for the missing filter. So overall it was fine.

Yep, these fit my Harmony fine.
These fit my Harmony fine and they seem well made. I can't comment on their ability to stop tiny particles, but I had the washable type and found that to be not worth the trouble. It's better to just change this filter out every 6 months and be done with it.

Regina Upright Vacuum Belts



Great Deal, Great Belts
I will buy these belts again when the time comes. So much cheaper than Dyson brand and work just as well!

Better deal than Dyson
Dyson will sell you a belt for a lot of money. These cost a lot less, and last just as long a Dyson's. I got three for less than one Dyson belt. Now, if I can just remember where I put them once the first one wears out!

You get what you pay for.
This was a good price for product but I have only used the vaccuum with this belt four times and it already needs replacing.

ProForce 1200XP Upright Vacuum



A good vacuum cleaner
I have several of this model in my cleaning business. ProTeam has fixed most of the early problems with this vacuum cleaner. One last problem is the difficulty in clearing a blockage in the lower hose. You have to do a lot of disassembly if you can't clear the hose with a long wire.

Excellent machine
Too many churches try to use "home vacs" for church duty. This machine is very maneuverable, works great with the right side extension to get under heat radiators. Strong suction. No dust puffs! Love the ease of removing the wand & getting something picked up. Great "self-propel" strength & quality.
Excellent brand--recommended by commercial maintenance companies who really use them for hours...daily!

Shark XT3501 Steam Pocket Mop Replacement Pads



It isn't the same.
Unlike the first reviewer, I say these pads are NOT "just like" the originals. They are not as fluffy and the liner is different. On the original, I cannot see the mop head frame through the terry. I can with the replacement. It is smaller when place atop the original. It fits the mop head, however. It is not high a high enough cost item to return and time will tell if a lack of "fluffiness" and different liner make a big difference. They could be okay but they are NOT just like the originals.I rated this right in the middle. If they turn out to be equivalent, I will return and upgrade.

Nice having extra pads around
After purchasing the Shark pocket mop floor steamer, and then pricing the replacement pads from Euro-Pro, we decided to try out these less expensive micro-fiber replacement pads. They work just fine with a few small differences. First, they are a little small...I had some difficulty getting the pad to fit over the frame, very tight fit, but did manage to get it on. (Have been using them for a while and the fabric has relaxed.) Second, the cloth is thicker and fluffier than the original pads, which makes it a little harder to push the machine around...so, you get more exercise (which is a good thing!) The repacement pads do a great job of producing a nice clean floor, lots of steam coming through the fabric, and no streaks...the same job as the original pads! We would order them again even though we did a 4 star rating on the tight fit.

Perfect!
I am totally pleased with this purchase. The pads are just like the ones that came with my steam mop and i have had no problems with them so far and i got them for a great price!

Reliable 3-Pack Replacement Pads for Steamboy T1



great product
I love my Steamboy and the replacement pads work very well. I tend to wear them out faster than usual on the tile floor as the tile has an uneven surface. They clean exceptionally well, leaving the floor only damp.
I live with three dogs and two cats so this product gets plenty of use.
I am particularly happy with the way this product aids in keeping my house smelling clean and my floor looking tidy.
It is easy to use and handy not having to drag out a mop and bucket every day.

Steam covers.
Have used these , and they work pretty good. The absorbency, is nit as good as I would like , it keeps the floor a bit too wet. But it does the job. And I would recommend.

Good replacement pads.
These pads may be off is size very slightly but not enough to cause a problem. I like them better than the pads that came with the steamer. They seem to have a different texture and clean better. Would not hesitate to order them again from the same seller.

Handy Dandy Brush
This brush is certainly a compliment to my vacuum cleaner because it aids in removing dust from my curtains, bookcase, and upholstery, I should have purchased one, eons ago.

works perfect
fits on my dirt devil vacume very well fits perfect suction is good with my vacume and works very good!!

It works!
I somehow lost the original dusting attachment for my older Dirt Devil upright (MVP DU8320) that's still going strong. I wasn't sure this would fit, but it does and this slim brush seems to fit into tight spaces very nicely.

Mine was shipped by GoVacuum. Nice price and fast, free shipping.

glad I was able to find and replace filter and not have to buy a new vaccum just becauce I couldn't get the part locally.

Worked Great!
My vacuum cleaner hadn't been sucking up the cat hair for a few weeks; upon inspection of the
vacuum I noticed the filter was caked in cat litter dust. I ordered this filter and my vacuum is
working great again. I have started cleaning the filters and dumping the hair out of the
vac. every time I use it and it's still working great! The supplier shipped the item fast and I would
definitely use them and their filters in the future!

27 KIRBY GENERATION MICROFILTRATION VACUUM SWEEPER BAGS



The Kirby vacuum cleaner bags
The bags work as well as the original G5 bags. I've used them since the order arrived and they perform fine.

Great Value
These are every bit as good as the Kirby brand selling for three times as much.
Would recommend to any Kirby owner sick of the high cost of "Kirby" bags.

Must tape it on for Sentria model
This product was described as able to fit all kirby models, however, it does not have the slots for the attachment to snap on. I had to press it on best I could and tape it firmly with box tape, it barely went on far enough because the attachment part actually blocks it from going on where the slots are supposed to be. I am hoping that it will hold up well with tape - time will tell.

A great product!
This is a great floor pad. It gets the floors clean and streak-free, and rinses out beautifully. A superior product to others I have used.

Direct Replacement for Original
This unit is the same as the one supplied with your unit. I bought this one as a spare at the same time I purchased my Vapamore unit. So far the original has held up well and I have not needed this replacement.
