5 Stars great value
the product arrived quicker than I planned and works beautifully.
Definitely an improved design from the 7.2 volt unit that the batteries died on after many,many years.
I would recommend this unit to anyone. It is light weight, easy to use, and powerful for its size.
5 Stars Nice vacuum
Over the years, these cordless vacuums have really improved. The Black and Decker 9.6 Volt Cyclonic-Action Dustbuster is a real winner. It is light and powerful. So good that I have given two of these as gifts.
Will the Dustbuster pick up everything? No, of course not. Reading the reviews of not only this vacuum but many other portables, I found that sometimes negative reviews were based on unrealistic expectations for a small portable vacuum.
For the price, this dustbuster is a nice way of cleaning up light spills. I highly recommend it.
4 Stars Works great other than filter being clogged easily
I got this mostly for quick cleanups in the mudroom where you come in from the garage. This is also the room with the clothes dryer so bits of lint tend to be scattered around after a clothes wash and dry. It works great for this except for the fact that the filter seems to get clogged pretty quickly. Not sure what could be done to keep this from happening but it is a bit annoying. Other than that minor item the vacuum works great.
5 Stars Don’t judge it by it’s price
I’ve owned Dustbusters pretty much since they first came on the market, including a really fancy one with a snap on electric bush attachement. However, for suction, this is the best one yet! I can’t see how one costing twice as much can offer much more in the way of suction because this one has more than enough. At the price being charged, it’s almost a giveaway. Highly recommmended!!!
4 Stars Good Value
We previously owned a black & decker dustbuster before this one. They work great for about 3 years if you use them a lot like we do. The battery usually starts charging less and less over time. They are not ment to last long term and you cant just buy a new battery. For the price it fits the use you get out of it. This one is cool because it has a washable filter. This is great for many reasons. You dont have to buy extra filters which can be expensive unless you find them for a great deal on ebay but also because they stop making the models after a year or two and it can be a challenge to find the replacement filters. This one is also cool with the extendable hose which makes it easy to get under small hard to reach places.

3 Stars Tried a few
Hi, all,
Since I have been searching for a steam mop since my Shark quit and have read all the reviews, just thought another opinion might help.
I have osteo, so, it is very important to me to have clean floors at a very minimal effort.
I first tried the Eureka Enviro Steamer Steamer on a ship to store feature at you know where….
I couldn’t wait to get it, but, although it cleaned my kitchen tiles very well, it was very hard to push on our sealed wood floors even for my husband, so, returned.
Then tried the Hoover FloorMate. Although it cleaned the tile very well, it was loud and I wanted something I could use at anytime of day or night without waking anybody up. Was concerned about using the brushes on our wood floor and the mess of emptying it turned me off. This wasn’t it..
Next was the Deluxe Shark Steam Mop with all the heads. I will admit it is beautiful to look at…but, ours didn’t develop much steam. I tried it at different times and different days and it just wouldn’t work. Plus, upon consideration, they recommend the pads be washed separately and then air-dried to prevent picking up lint from the washer/dryer. And, they are white! They recommend you change pads every 3 months…could get expensive. I wanted something like my old Shark.
Well, I found it. It is like my old Shark in that I can just put the pad on the bottom and go. No attaching a separate head with it’s own pad. With the Deluxe each head has its own pad and was a little hard to push for me, also.
What I like about my new one is I found the pads on ebay super cheap that I can use, just put on the bottom and it is ready. Plus, the pads are like nothing I have seen for the wood floor and it makes it so easy to push. Looks almost like the shag rugs of the past. It comes with the rug glider that is supposed to freshen carpets. I haven’t tried it yet, but even if it does nothing, I still think it is great for me to use on a regular basis.
They provided a small spray on scent that they say you can spray on the top of the pad (not that touches the floor) to give off a nice clean scent. And,I assume I can use any scent when that runs out. The cord is 25 ft.
All in all I think it’s great.
Called the Shark Light & Easy…and, it is.
I hope this helps someone who has health problems like I do. If I did this wrong, sorry, first time doing this..Just thought it could help.
2 Stars worked for 1 month
It worked well for 1 month. Then it stopped altogether. It turns on but does not heat up. I am taking it to an authorized repair center today.
4 Stars A few suprises..
I anxiously awaited receiving the Eureka Steam Mop and today it arrived. I read nearly every review of steamers and steam mops on the web before settling on this one. It had so many great reviews for tile floors it won me over. I have 900 sq. ft. of tile, 500 sq. ft. is lightly textured with 1/2″ grout and porcelain inlays, 300 sq. ft. is heavily textured over the entire surface, and 100 sq. ft. has been in for nearly 50 years. The grout is in various states of its original bone color to nearly black. I’ve been loyal to my Libman Wonder Mop and a bucket of hot water and vinegar to keep it clean but it is a tedious chore to do the whole lot. I found myself mopping the big areas once a week and letting the rest slip for weeks.
Once I got the Eureka Steam Mop assembled, pad on and filled up I let it sit the requisite 5 minutes then slipped on a pair of white socks to see if it really would work. I had read about the “breaking in” period where it will leave excess water so I had a towel at the ready. At first I didn’t notice a significant difference in the tiles, but then again I had mopped just a few days ago. I did notice the grout lighten ever so slightly in some areas in the kitchen but nothing to get excited about. One thing that was very noticeable and horribly disconcerting was the odor that arose the more I steamed the grout. I can only assume as the grime is lifted out the odors are released and I can assure you it does not leave the house “fresh” smelling. Hopefully once the grout is clean this odor will be gone!! Once the floors dried they did have a shine to them I had not seen in quite some time. The white socks are still pretty much white.
All in all I am pretty pleased with the Eureka Steam Mop. I filled the mop twice covering 700 sq. ft., running through both pads. I will note the pads were only slightly soiled but I changed them because they were saturated with water. I think I will take the advice I read for additional pads and get the Clorox Large Surface Mop Microfiber refill pads, I understand they fit quite nicely and are reasonably priced. I look forward to seeing how the mop holds up and if it really will get all my grout back to its original bone color.
4 Stars No bucket, no mop, no soap, no problem!
Yes, I read A. Chandler’s review along with hundreds of other shoppers. For all I know this reviewer works for Eureka, but who cares? I was steered to buy the Eureka Enviro Steamer and I couldn’t be happier!
What a joy it is to clean my wood floors without dragging out the wood soap, bucket, (dirty) mop, etc. The floor gets clean in just a few minutes and is dry in another few minutes after that. (I do vacuum well before using the steamer.)
The steamer comes with two pads. Per another reviewer’s advice, I flip the pad over when one side gets dirty so I can clean my family room, kitchen, living room, dining room, foyer, and powder room all with one pad. Then I throw it in the washing machine and wash in hot water.
I have misplaced the little funnel and water cup that came with the steamer. The fill hole is very small, so I ended up using the tube part of a turkey baster as a funnel.
Bottom line: This steamer is an INCREDIBLE time-saver when it comes to cleaning wood floors!
1 Star Bad Selection
I purchased this item based on the positive reviews. What a disappointment. It takes forever to clean a large area. You must leave the cleaner on each section at least 20 seconds, an area about 10inches x16inches, to “steam” the section. And that is on a lightly soild floor. Therefore, a large floor, 13 feet x 20 feet takes forever to clean. A bucket of water, a little Mr. Clean and a “miracle mop” work better and 10 times faster. This would be a good, although very expensive, tool for a small bathroom area. Very sorry I purchased it. Just another useless product to store in the closet.

2 Stars too expensive
These new bags are way too expensive and they only fill up about 1/2 way! The vacuum cleaner itself is great but the bags come up short. The trap door idea is a loser as it gets stuck open on debris. The old bags were better, but still too expensive because you can’t fill them up. The engineers need to keep working on this one!
1 Star New bags are a disaster
These new bags are a disaster! I have had my Miele vacuum cleaner for 5 years - and LOVE it! I never had any problem with the old bags. Problems with the new bags are: 1) Inside the new bags there are small plastic strips that run parallel to each other. These strips are supposed to “sway” in the suction and push the dirt/debris to the edges of the bag. They don’t work - the dirt/debris stays piled in the middle of the bag. The new bags only get 1/3 full and then . . . 2) The new bags have a flap that opens (and closes). When the dirt gets piled in the middle of the bag - the flap is probably held open allowing the dirt/lint to escape. Twice I have opened my bag compartment to find it filled with dirt and lint. I had to 1) pay $50.00 to have my motor cleaned out (full of lint/dirt) and 2) another $50.00+ for a new HEPA filter. My vacuum cleaner repair store said they have had a lot of complaints from Miele customers. Offered 2 solutions: 1) Some people are cutting through the plastic strips in the bag to keep them from working (or not working) and 2) There is a generic bag made for the vacuum by EnviroCare Technologies. I opted for the generic bag - because it DOES NOT have a flap - which I believe to be a part of the problem. Email Miele - maybe they will bring back the OLD bags.
3 Stars Expensive
These work great but Miele used to give you 5 bags for the same price.
4 Stars Very nice for a vacuum bag.
The bags are very durable, well made compared to most. However, I am a three pet household and I go through them too quickly and find the cost is too much. I ended up puchasing a ‘generic’ bag that isn’t as pretty but is as functional. It may not be best for allergies ( I don’t know), but they do work okay so far. I would have given the Miele bags five stars except for the price.
5 Stars Miele vacuum bags
Bags are easy to use, easy to change and work great at keeping dust from blowing back into the house. The HEPA filter is also part of this system, so that contributes to the clean odor and dust free air.
