Modern Vacuum

I bet you have all seen the Roomba run around the house and clean floors. Now as an improvement of to earlier models, iRobot has come up with the Roomba Scheduler, the latest Roomba so far. It has the regular Roomba elements plus the famed scheduler feature. The Roomba Scheduler belongs to the third generation Roomba models and is released in 2005 by iRobot. It is available on the 560 model.

The Roomba Scheduler feature is what makes Roomba rock. The upgrade made room cleaning totally supervision-free. With this feature, you can set Roomba to work on a certain time of the day. Now Roomba can work even when you’re not at home or during the night when kids are asleep. With the same technology as the earlier Roombas, it cleans the entire floor using the random walk algorithm it is programmed with. It would cover the entire room for as long as there’s no virtual wall that would block its path. Read the rest of this entry »

Hoover has made excellent vacuum cleaners for many years. With the recent popularity of canister vacuum cleaners, Hoover has produced a winner with its Windtunnel electronic bagless canister model, the S3765-040.

Design and Features

This vacuum cleaner is not an upright model, so keep that in mind as you compare this machine to others. The main unit sits on the floor with a detachable wand doing the actually cleaning work. Some would say the main unit resembles a prop from the Star Wars movie! This machine features a powerful motor with variable speed controls that controls the suction. All of the controls are designed so that the user can manipulate the vacuum with the touch of a finger. Because of its non-upright and low-profile design , you will find it easy to clean hard to reach places throughout your home. Reaching under furniture is a breeze with this Hoover model. The design is meant to be economic in nature, and users will find that the machine is easy to maneuver within most any average sized room. The entire unit weighs in at 31 pounds, but since the main unit is separated from the actual cleaning wand, it feels much lighter when actually being used. The metal wand of this machine easily detaches from the floor attachment by tapping on a release lever. The cord winds up easily and automatically and, although a bit stiff, it becomes more flexible overtime and use. Read the rest of this entry »

Eliminating the need for two separate vacuums–one for thorough cleaning and one for quick-and-easy touchups–the Eureka Optima has all the power, features, and performance of a conventional upright coupled with the light weight and convenience of a stick. Where the Optima doesn’t cut corners is suction: at just under 12 pounds, this machine can out-draw units twice its weight, and its HEPA filter captures more than 99. 9% of dust mites, pollen, and other allergens for cleane…

Equipped with patented WindTunnel technology, this bagless upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. It uses three distinct air channels to lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. With red and green lights, its embedded DirtFinder system indicates areas that may need more cleaning attention. The green “clean” light remains on while vacuuming except when the detector senses a large…
