Review Dyson DC21 Stowaway Canister Vacuum / Dyson, Inc.:For most people the act of housecleaning isn't an automatic (or positive) behavior. It is, nonetheless, necessary. So you want it to be as efficient and as easy as possible. Say hello to the Dyson DC21 Stowaway Bagless CanisterVacuum Cleaner. It may even change the way you feel about cleaning your home. Using its patented Root Cyclone Technology the Dyson DC21 actually separates dirt from air. Because it doesn't rely on bags or conventional filters, the end result is remarkable suction that thoroughly cleans nearly any carpet and surface in your home, and significantly reduces the amount of bacteria and mould you breathe. The wide 12. 5 inch cleaning path picks up more dirt and dust, and a large debris channel allows larger pieces to be filtered in the canister. A versatile brush control function can be adjusted to protect delicate carpeting or thoroughly cleans hardwood and vinyl flooring, and the 12 foot hose with several handy attachments makes it easy to vacuum harder-to-reach places where dust and dirt accumulate. [+]
A user-friendly design allows the DC21 to maneuver around your furniture with the slightest turn of the wrist while the automatically retracting 16. 4 foot power cord gives you extended reach and better access in every area of your home. Clean-up is a snap - with the hygienic and easy-to-empty bin. Finally, the washable filters are easy to clean and never need replacing.

Review Cirrus Residential Upright Vacuum Cleaner Model CR89 / Cirrus CR89:Cirrus vacuum cleaners are made using the same patent as Riccar and Simplicity vacuums. These machines can even use the same belts, filters, roller brushes, and bags as Riccar and Simplicity upright vacuums, but at about half the cost, the Cirrus brand is less expensive alternative. The Cirrus Model S89 comes standard with a 12 AMP 1200 Watt AMETEK 2-Stage Motor (stages indicate how many suction fans the motor has). The 2-Stage motor will have more suction power, and run cooler then 1-stage motors. AMETEK motors are one of the most durable motors on the market. You can easily expect to get 20-25 years of trouble free performance out of this motor. The S89has a 110" suction rating (waterlift) The Cirrus CR89 is the top of the line for Cirrus residential models. This machine is the only model that comes with a 2 stage (2 fan) motor. Because of the 2 fans, and added suction power, this model is the best Cirrus for pet hair. The 2 stage motor is also a more durable motor. [+]
The extra fan helps the motor run cooler, and more efficient. Because of the better motor, GoVacuum is including a 10 year motor warranty at no charge on the Cirrus CR89 The CR89 also is the only residential model that comes packaged with the a variable speed motor control. This allows you to slow the brush speed and the suction power, when doing delicate oriental rugs, or Berber carpeting. Rather then straddling the rug and fighting with it to try and it hold down, simply lower the variable suction control so you are not sucking the rug into the vacuum cleaner. The CR89 also comes standard with HEPA exhaust filter. For homes with allergies or breathing issues, the Cirrus CR89 is ideal. The HEPA filter is very efficient at capturing microscopic particles that cause allergy sufferers major problems such as dust mites, pollen, animal dander, and bacteria. The sealed motor housing prevents any air from leaking, and forces the air through the HEPA filter which makes it very effective.
