You probably think that using a vacuum is going to get your house cleaner than when you started the chore. But sometimes, the vacuum will fall down and scrape the wall or you will bang it into a corner when you aren’t paying enough attention. Then, vacuuming will take a lot longer than you originally planned. The Dirt Devil 110009 Reaction with Soft Touch Bagless Upright Vacuum may change that.
Attachments: Rotating power brush, upholstery tool, dusting brush, crevice tool
Warranty: One year warranty
What is different about the Dirt Devil 110009 Reaction with Soft Touch Bagless Upright Vacuum is that it is coated with a “soft touch” material on the nozzle, wheels and tools, which will protect your floors and walls from getting banged up by your vacuum cleaner.
With dual-cyclonic suction, the Reaction is going to be able to suck up anything and everything. If you are trying to clean a rug with fringe on it or hardwood floors, you can turn the beater bar off, making it easy to transition from surface to surface.
Another thing that you are going to appreciate is that when emptying the dust cup on this vacuum, you aren’t going to have to touch the filter. This means that you won’t get your hands dirty while trying to clean up.
For $80 you probably don’t expect much, but this vacuum has a HEPA filter, which is going to catch 100% of common allergens, leaving the air in the room cleaner than it was before you vacuumed.
With a four star rating, there are loads of people who have been satisfied with this vacuum cleaner. However, you might find that there are some quality issues with the machine. One person on Amazon.com reports that there are problems with the belts. Here’s what he had to say.
“After 5 uses, I’ve already had to replace the belt twice.”
Does your vacuum cleaner only clean carpet and rugs? If so, you might need to look into the Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, which is designed to clean floors of all types.
Priced at under $150, this is going to be an affordable all-around cleaning machine, but you may be wondering whether or not it is up to the challenge of deep cleaning and whether it is going to be durable or not.

The main job of a vacuum is to suck. Not in the way that is bad, but to pick up the dirt and dust and little scraps of paper and food that are embedded in your carpet. The Total Floors Velocity by Bissell is going to do just that, and after just a couple of passes on your floors, you are going to see swirls of what used to be in the rug in the dirt canister.
“Good suction – saw a lot of dust balls, hair, and junk in the bin – only went over places once or twice at good speed.”
“It is very powerful and will leave you disgusted to know how much junk was embedded in your carpet.”
The great thing about the Bissell Total Floors Upright cleaner is that it goes from carpet to hard flooring without a lot of trouble – you just need to tap on the foot pedal.
“It doesn’t blow the dust and dirt around like my old vacuum. It has a special setting for non-carpet floors that works great.”
The Bissell 3990 is going to make using the attachments a piece of cake. The extension hose is on the machine, so that you can clean the ceiling, corners or stairs really easily without wasting a lot of time.
“The 14′ hose will reach from the bottom of my stairs to the very top of my stairs.”
One of the toughest things to clean up is pet hair because it sticks to the carpeting and upholstery like glue. If you want to know whether your vacuum is good or not, try it on a couch or rug that is covered in pet hair. Here is what one Amazon reviewer had to say.
“The TurboBrush is great for getting the cat hair off the furniture, and it is very easy to switch between the regular vacuum and attachments.”
With a 4 star review from Amazon, you might be wondering why wait to get this machine. However, there are some negatives that you should know about this machine. The quality might not be what you are expecting. Customers have reported getting the machine broken, and cheap plastic parts falling off of it.
“They do not pack it in anything other than what you would grab it off the shelf at Wal-Mart. No Styrofoam or any protection. The side of the box got smooshed and so did the vacuum.”
“The vacuum is very poorly made with lots of cheap plastic parts.”
