Customer Review: gave 5 months of good use, and THEN....

I fell in love with this vacuum the moment I started using it. It was quiet, it maneuvered beautifully, and it picked virtually everything up. I felt uneasy buying such an expensive vacuum when my kenmore worked fine, but after using it, I thought, FINALLY, something for my money's worth. Well, 5 months later, the vacuum started losing suction and the power bar kept going to its lowest setting on its own. I changed the dust bag, thinking it was full (even though the dust bag indicator hadn't turned on, being one of its features), but the same problem. Then I thought it was the battery, so I opened the battery compartment, only to see that it was one of those tiny round batteries you'd have to buy especially for the vacuum. Going back to the operating manual, I read that I only had to change the battery once every 18 months, so I tried to close the battery compartment back up.,..to no avail. It just wouldn't close back properly! My husband tried to push the compartment back in, but even he couldn't do it. With a half-closed battery compartment, I called the Miele # on the manual. The closest local dealer is about an hour away, and it's not like they'd fix it on the spot. I'd have to drop it off, then pick it up. Packing the vacuum back up to ship it to the warranty center is going to take too long. I'd be without a vacuum cleaner for God knows how long???!!! I have 3 toddlers and 1 baby, and frankly, this is ridiculous. I can't believe I paid so much money for only 5 months of use.

Sanyo SC-S700P Powerhead Canister Vacuum Cleaner


Sanyo SC-S700P Powerhead Canister Vacuum Cleaner
SANYO SCS700P/VAC/CANISTER/12AMP/POWERHD

Customer Review: Best Canister Vacuum With a Power Nozzle For Under $200

We were very impressed with the cleaning ability of this vacuum cleaner, especially for a price of under $200. If you are looking to not spend a lot on a canister vacuum, this should be one of the highest machines on your list.
The Sanyo SC-S700P is a light weight canister, that comes with an electric power nozzle for cleaning rugs and carpets. The machine also includes a variable speed motor control, which allows you to adjust how much suction power you want to clean with. This is ideal when cleaning delicate oriental rugs, delicate cleaning, or even your drapes!
With a full 12 amp motor, this machine provides plenty of suction power for cleaning even the most embedded dirt and dust. The internal wiring of the power nozzle makes removing the hose to clean upholstery and stairs, or using the attachments a breeze! There are no wires to unplug.
When changing from carpet to bare surface floors, you simply have to step on a switch on the power nozzle, that turns the roller brushes off. There is no switching of attachments to go from bare floor to carpets, saving you a lot of time.
The machine however does not have the greatest quality of electrical parts. The motor is a very loud motor, that should not be expected to last more then 5-7 years. The filtration on the Sanyo SC-S700P is also very poor. With no HEPA Filtration option, this machine should be avoided by any house with allergies or breathing issues. Also the cord at only 17ft, will leave you having to unplug the vacuum, and find another plug pretty frequently.
This machine is great if you are looking to spend under $200 for a canister vacuum with a power nozzle, there is nothing close in the same price range. As long as you know, you will get what you pay for, and the vacuum will not last you forever, The Sanyo machine is right for you.

Bosch BSA2100UC Compact Plus Series Canister Vacuum, Midnight Blue
Get a lot of vacuum in a little space with the Bosch Compact Plus vacuum cleaner. You shouldn't have to sacrifice cleaning power just because you live in a small space. With the Compact Series, you get a vacuum that takes up less space without giving up cleaning effectiveness and versatility. This easy to use vacuum includes a one step self-sealing dust bag, step on/off power button, and the Ergogrip Plus soft handle. Bosch engineers have managed to pack an amazing 11 amps of motor power, a full set of attachments and the superior Air Clean II filtration into a vacuum that is a breeze to maneuver and carry around your home.

Customer Review: Poor Vacuum

I purchased this vacuum based on the very positive reviews. However, I am sorry I bought it for the following reasons. There is a suction control on the top that is a real joke. Even with it turned up all the way, I find that it won't suck up many of the little crumbs on the kitchen floor unless the center of the floor attachment is directly centered over the crumb. If it is at one of the edges of the attachment, it usually doesn't get sucked up. I end up taking off the attachment and using the bare hose end to get thing sucked up
The next annoyance is the short cord. I have to constantly keep pluging it into a closer receptacle even in the same room.
And speaking of the cord, after only a few months of use, the cord no longer retracts and I can see no way to get into the mechanism to unstick it or whatever to fix it.
The vacuum does not turn a corner very well and usually ends up turned over on its side when pulled at an angle.
Anyhow, the short of it is that it has a VERY POOR suction and this is my main gripe with the vacuum. I think I will go back to the tried and true Sears vacuum which does have great suction.

Customer Review: Impressive vacuum for the money

Very good suction power from such a small machine. I'm very pleased with it;s performance and very handy to use due to it's small size.

Only one suggestion for improvement; the hose is made of plastic and somewhat clumsy as it doesn't have much flexibility.

Customer Review: Great Compact Canister, Works Well for Stairs, Furniture, and Bare Floors

The Bosch 2100UC is a very nice compact canister. The machine has a tremendous amount of suction for a small compact canister. It is very lightweight, only 9.5lbs. and like most German vacuums, it is very quiet. This German made vacuum is designed for bare floors, stairs, and quick easy pick ups. It has a variable speed motor control that allows cleaning of delicates like curtains and drapes. The variable speed motor will also allow to clean oriental rugs, without the stradling, and fighting with the rug.
Filtration wise, the Bosch 2100UC comes with a micro scan filter that stops all of the mircoscopic dust particles that cause allergy suffers, and asthmatics to have problems breathing. HEPA filtration is available as an upgrade. The Bosch genuine type G bag is an excellent quality bag, that is above average in keeping the dust inside the bag, instead of going through the motor, which Bosch provides a 5 year warranty on.
The negatives to this machine are; The 2100UC only comes with a combination tool, which doesn't do well at all on wall to wall carpeting. It is really only designed to clean bare floors, or just a few oriental rugs, with no pet hair. The cord is rather short at only 17 feet, causing you to have to switch outlets for larger areas. The vacuum only comes with a crevice tool, and upholstery brush, with no dusting brush.
