Oreck XL Ultra

Controlling allergens at home is very important for
allergy sufferers. For this reason, many allergy
sufferers rely on the Oreck XL Ultra. This hypo-
allergenic vacuum is used to clean embedded dirt and
and allergens from carpets and hardwood floors. It
will remove almost 99.9% percent of allergins, with
the inner and outer bag working together as a great
filtration system.

One of the best things about the XL Ultra is the
fact that it will lock dirt and debris inside of
the disposable dust bag. The patented Saniseal
system will keep it there, preventing any type of
contamination. You’ll never come in contact with
the dust, as the Saniseal system locks dirt and
dust in tight so it has no way to escape. Once
the bag is full, you simply toss it out and put a
new one – that simple!

The new base plate design of the Oreck XL Ultra
features larger, more robust front wheels, more
edge brushes, and microsweep technology. These
improvements will increase edge cleaning on
bare floors and carpets, increase dirt removal on
bare floors, and also makes the vacuum much easier
to manuever on both carpet and tile.

As we all know, housework is hard. If you want your
home to stay clean, then you’ll have to vacuum as
often as you can. The Oreck XL weighs in at 8
pounds, with roller brushes that spin at the speed
of 6,500 RPM. You can pick up all of the dirt
in one pass, including pet hair, dander, pollen,
dust, and also dust mites. You’ll get the surface
dirt and the embedded dirt, which make your
house smell as good as it looks.

The XL Ultra is so good that it will lay flat to
fit under beds and furniture for easy storage.
It is one of the lightest full size vacuums
available, with stairs being a snap. You can
easily go from carpets to bare floors, as the
Oreck XL will recognize the thickness of the
carpet and adjust itself automatically. With
bare floors, the Microsweep system will deliver
millions of strokes a minute. It moves so quick
that it will actually scoop up sand off of a bare
floor.

The sheer genius of Oreck technology has always
been to take the heavy vacuum cleaners and then
reduce them to light, lean, and very easy to
clean machines. The Oreck XL Ultra has state
of the art 24 bar technology that makes it run
powerfully, quiet, and will keep running as long
as you need it.

The 24 bar motor in the XL Ultra uses 1/3 the
electricity of any other vacuum motor out there.
Not only will it last longer, it will pay for
itself in the long run with energy savings.

When you talk about performance, the XL Ultra’s
suction velocity is equivalent to a category 2
hurricane, which measures at 102 MPH! This type
of suction is among the best, as very few
vacuum cleaners out there can compete with it.

The roller brush with thread guard system will
nearly eliminate hair and thread from getting
tangled up in the bearings. The roller brush
features a hardwood maple roller that increases
durability, picking up almost anything that it
comes in contact with.

If you’ve been looking for a better vacuum cleaner,
you can rest assured that the Oreck XL Ultra is
everything you need. This vacuum cleaner will
do it all and then some, making your housework
easier than it has ever been in the past.

Hoover Self Propelled

Hoover Self Propelled

One of the most important things for asthma sufferers
to do to limit the exposure to triggers is to simply
eliminate them. High quality vacuum cleaners with
the HEPA filtration system will help to remove many
triggers such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen,
and get things really clean. The Hoover Self
Propelled Wind Tunnel Ultra is more than up to this
task.

The Wind Tunnel upright has many special features
that make it easy to use. It is self propelled,
which is great, as it is a larger vacuum. With
its size, the self propelled feature is great to
have. You simply let the vacuum pull itself around
the floor, sucking up dirt and debris as it goes.

The embedded dirt finder of the Hoover Wind Tunnel
will help you to remember to slow down when you
vacuum, and it actually lets you know when they
are clean, which is great for those who have a
knack for going to fast and missing things.

Attachments
Unlike other types of vacuum cleaners, the Wind
Tunnel Ultra offers attachments that are easy to
use and actually work. To activate any of the
attachments, you simple lock the handle of the
vacuum in the upright position. Doing so will
automatically turn the dual agitator brushes off.

The attachment hose is a very flexible, high
quality extension that doesn’t require you to
connect it to anything for it to be used. All
you have to do is pull the end of the hose from
the vacuum and begin using it. Among the
several attachments you can use are two extension
wands, a crevice tool, upholstery nozzle with
a rotating brush, and a dusting brush as well.

Ability to clean
The Hoover self propelled Wind Tunnel is superb
on hard floors and carpets. It features a
hard wood floor setting that will turn the
agitator brushes off so that it doesn’t blow
dirt back while you vacuum.

It offers plenty of power for hard wood floors,
picking up virtually anything. Vacuuming
rubs and carpets is a snap as well. With the
embedded dirt finder and the high level of
power, cleaning is easy. Throw in a built
in edge cleaner and you have a nice vacuum.

Filtration system
Several people may be flat out shocked to find
a vacuum in this price range that still uses
bags. This isn’t really a bad feature, especially
for those who suffer from asthma. Emptying a
bagless vacuum can be very tricky for those
who suffer from asthma as the dust and debris
can quickly end up back into the air that you
breathe.

The Hoover Wind Tunnel uses 3M vacuum bags that
feature full HEPA filtration in a 6 step process
to ensure that dust, pollen, and other triggers
remain in the bag and don’t make it back into
your home or into your air. This vacuum
cleaner also offers an easy to read indicator
that will let you know when the bag is full.

The bottom line
The Hoover Wind Tunnel is a great vacuum cleaner,
and is one of the best you can buy. It is a
great choice for removing asthma triggers
from your carpet and floors as well as bedding
and other furniture. It is also very easy to
use and has plenty of power to spare.

The embedded dirt finder can be the best friend
of an asthma sufferer very fast. It the
features aren’t enough to make you a believer,
the vacuum is also rated #1 in several magazines,
which proves hand down that this vacuum is
more than worth the purchase.

Flashy Vacuum Cleaners

Flashy Vacuum Cleaners

With most people, a vacuum cleaner isn’t really an
inspiring machine. If you don’t care about how it
works, then you probably don’t want to vacuum to start
with. At the same time, no one wants to live in a
pig sty or dirty home even.

These days however, things have began to change for
the better, and people’s attitudes are changing as
well. Vacuum cleaners are becoming interesting and
it’s all thanks to James Dyson, the inventor of the
Dyson vacuum cleaner.

All thanks to Dyson, vacuum cleaners have taken on
a personality and life of their own. These very
same tactics are even employed by the likes of
Apple to successfully ploy their iMacs and iPods to
the masses have now been used with tremendous
results with vacuum cleaners.

Now, let’s take a look at the decision that faces
you when buying a flashy vacuum cleaner. First of
all, you have the choice between the upright or
canister versions. The upright style of vacuum
cleaners will require you to use them in the
traditional push and pull fashion, although the
latest vacuum from Tyson, the DC15, has even turned
this technology on its head with “Ball Technology”
that will let you glide around your home with the
greatest of ease – in any direction you please.

Canister vacuum cleaners on the other hand come
with a hose attachment for great control and
flexibility, as you can quickly and easily get
to all of the hard to reach places. There isn’t
really a lot of difference between the two, and
it’s mainly down to your personal preference,
even though the upright vacuum is best suited to
larger carpets.

You should also consider the power of the motor
and efficiency of the filtration system as well.
Those that suffer from allergies will want to
pay close attention to the filtration. Dyson for
one has been very successful by marketing the
benefits of its patented “Cyclone” technology,
which doesn’t use a bag nor does it ever get
clogged up.

If you feeling really daring and adventurous and
want to stay ahead of the curve, you could go
for one of the very popular robotic vacuum cleaners
such as the ZA01 from Electrolux or the cheaper
iRobot from Roomba. While you amuse yourself or
do other things, the robot will move around your
home on it’s own will, vacuuming your entire
home until it is spotless. The robot even has
the technology and intelligence to return to the
base when it is running low on battery power and
recharge itself.

If you want to be different and unique, a flashy
vacuum cleaner is the way to go. There are many
different models and types to choose from, from
cheap vacuums to those that cost hundreds of
dollars. All you have to do is meet your creative
side halfway and let the fun begin!
