Customer Reviews:
Great vacuum for the money
You could say dirty floors are my pet peeve. With that stated, I also say this vacuum is a great value. I have had this vacuum for about 8 months and now use it as my main push vacuum (I also use a Roomba). It is easy to maneuver, cleans the carpet well, and is lightweight enough to use on stairs. In addition to the Hoover Tempo and Roomba, I also have a 15 year old Hoover WindTunnel which is too heavy for me to use on stairs and a 6 year old Kenmore Elite Canister vacuum (rated a best buy in Consumer Reports when I purchased it) which does not pick up dust and dirt as well as this Hoover Tempo.

I have a lot of tile in my home. The Hoover Tempo tends to sling as much of the dust and dirt as it picks up when I run it on the tile. So I use the Roomba instead.

As a busy mom, I do delegate chores to my kids. Vacuuming is one of the easier chores I delegate. My kids tend to be rough on vacuums. My Kenmore Elite Canister vacuum has been "broken" by my son several times - requiring several hours of repair by a disgruntled husband. This Hoover Tempo however has been used by my kids since we got it and is still working perfectly.

The cord is a little shorter than most and that can be a nuisance. I either change electrical sockets frequently or add and extension cord. Problem solved.

Great vacuum
Very powerful suction, easy to use, probably identical in quality to much more expensive machines. The tools are convenient, the cord is long, even the switch is convenient. A really great deal.

Great vacuum
Very powerful vacuum -- better than vacuums costing more than twice as much. Accessories all stored on vacuum for very easy access. Accessory hose permanently attached to vacuum for easy switching between upright vacuuming and vacuuming with nozzles. I am so satisfied with this vacuum, that I have bought 4 of these over the last year for myself and various family members.

Vacuums That Suck ... Using Little Energy
28.09.09 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

I would never recommend trashing a perfectly good vacuum cleaner and replacing it with a newer, more energy efficient model. However, if your current one is broken beyond repair and you're on the market for a brand new 'cuum, there are models that will get the job done and put a dent in your energy bills.

A vacuum cleaner may seem insignificant in terms of energy consumption when compared to larger appliances like refrigerators, but the use of multiple small appliances does add up. According to the California Energy Commission's Consumer Energy Center, running a standard vacuum cleaner for an hour a week consumes more juice than running a washing machine for two hours a week in the cold water cycle (38 kWh/year versus 31 kWh/year). That hour of vacuuming each week also consumes about as much as energy as running a clock 24-7/365.

Without further ado, five energy-efficient suck machines for your consideration:
