Oh my! I still own and operate my great grandmothers hoover CANISTER vacuum cleaner! Where you have to pull around the big canister behind the hose! Finding bags have been a no go for years so I make my own using plastic grocery bags and duct tape! I cannot throw it out because it vacuums so well. I use an extension cord to pull it outside and vacuum my car with the attachment that can get down between the seats flawlessly. My grandmother used after my great grandmother. My mother used it after my grandmother and now I have it to seemingly pass down to my daughter in law? She would never! But it is a bulky heavy machine with sucking power that will never come from any of these newfangled machines. I Love it!

[@charlottechicola5955]

I used to have an Electrolux that was my late husband's grandmothers. It was from the 60s, they bought it when they bought the house he bought off of her years later. I only stopped using it because it overheated and tried to catch the house on fire... It served us all faithfully.

I HATE HOW OFTEN I HAVE TO STOP AND FINGER FEED HAIR AND DEBREE INTO THE HEAD OF MY DYSON!! 🤬🤬🤬 Nothing makes me angrier, especially when I decided to spend my hard earned cash on this "superior" tool. To me, this is enough to want to break it over the stair rail, I get so frustrated.. Does this anti hair wrap Shark actually work well? Wow.. This would be amazing, if so!! 😄👍🏼

[@snowqueen7968]

@@jbdjessa2 Hi having had a Dyson Animal before I bought my Shark, I can definitely say the Shark was a game changer for me, as I have a long haired cat, I don’t have to stop at all. I do make sure I empty the bin regularly and wash the foam filters and allow to dry well every month…. That’s the only work required! I’m no expert, just hope this helps 😃

I got a Shark Rocket when I moved into a VERY small apartment. It's fantastic! AND, when the power button started to have issues, after probably 5 years of use, I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement of the vacuum half with the motor, cord, handle, debris compartment, etc.

With your cleaning advice and your dollar tree fines on cleaning solutions, microfibers broom sticks that have multiple attachments. I am over 60 and your products are expensive. Fantastic. Because of you, I have a sparkly house I’m not afraid to entertain because I know I will not be overwhelmed with the clean up now that I have your system in place. saving up to get a good vacuum. I watch one of your videos every morning helps motivate me for 10 minute Make the bed ,morning pick up . I was so overwhelmed. And everything is so expensive. You are an earth angel. I deserve to have a clean house. I know I am worth it . We are enough

Thanks!

[@ninak8506]

You are spot on! I have the large Dyson corded vac. It was awesome when I had wall to wall carpet & too very furry dogs. But now I'm in a house with lots of tile, wood & area rugs. I also have the Shark rocket that I've had for years. Love it! It's lighter weight, very adaptable and picks up everything. I also have the shark steam mop & Bissell steam shot. Cannot be happier.

[@TheCarlaProject]

you just helped me solve the dilemma of what vacuum to buy!! i have been going in circles all year. gonna try the tineco one thank you!!!

[@tammypierce3250]

We put a very light colored high quality carpet in our house when we built it 25 years ago. That carpet still looks great after four children and four grandchildren. Granted there are a few, very few, random spots that we were not able to get out. What I was told, and have found to be true, is that most spots will come out with very hot water. That has always been my go to for spots in my carpet and upholstery. If you use any kind of detergent, even those made for carpets or upholstery, it will draw soil back to it later because it’s nearly impossible to get all of the detergent rinsed out. I do use spot remover on the very rare occasions that hot water doesn’t do the job but I use the tiniest amount possible.

[@mocha71775]

I agree. I've heard this before. The cleaning agent (if used to heavily) will leave a film/sticky residue that attracts dirt. And because most people are heavy handed with their cleaning products they run into this issue.

[@korab.23]

I've used water with a bit of vinegar with great results. For sticky things... window cleaner! It's made to not leave residue behind. Just be careful with the cheap ones, those can leave blue behind.

[@inkkie7]

Great tip! Thanks! I m Always looking for easier & cheaper common sensical ways to do things not plugging into more consumerism nonsense

[@peachypink604]

I'm about to purchase a portable Bissell carpet cleaning machine for my new rug. I came here hoping to find a cheaper and better alternative to their cleaning solutions, but no luck. I foster dogs who sometimes have accidents. PLEASE tell me what you use for pet accidents 🙏🏼

[@anitahardesty2163]

I completely agree on the best vacuum is shark! I have been using the same one for 10 years. I have a lifetime warranty on it. It only broke 1x during the 10 years! Always works as if it's brand new! So light weight, no bags to buy and it gets under furniture and swivels. Have all the attachments. Has a super long cord to! Love it! Best vacuum i have ever bought! I love the shark steam mop to!

[@peggyk.738]

Tineco is highly rated because people review it straight out of the box. I would have given it 5 out of 5 stars on day one, but by day 90 maybe 2 out of 5 stars. It had lost so much suction and I had to continually empty the cup and untangle the debris from around the filter to get it to pick up anything. That’s irritating to have to keep stopping and starting. I expect more from a $400 vacuum.

[@StephBer1]

Thanks for the review. Always good to hear from an actual user.

[@shannonpaulozaffarese1418]

I'm so glad it's not just me. I've had my Tineck for a year and a half, and I'm struggling with it right now. I have all the same problems you mentioned and I swear I spend more time unclogging and fixing them I do actually vacuuming. Also, it doesn't pick up anything larger then fort and dog hair... anything else needs to be swept!

Thank you for a thorough review! I want to remind everyone reading not to use baking soda with your bagless vacuums and always wait until the battery cools before plugging your cordless in to recharge to give them longer life

My Shark vac served me well for over 13 years - the only reason I had to say goodbye is because the handle broke after someone fell on it (don't ask how LOL). I even used this vac when we had a cleaning business so it got a LOT of use! I love those vacuums so much!

The same thing happened to me! My grandson broke mine. I was so dissapointed. Luckily it broke where the hose meets the base. I went to HD and bought some industrial strength gorrilla glue. It worked and my shark is still going strong but i keep it upstairs for the bedrooms . I can't use it as a canister vac anymore though. It's been 2 years since the break. I've owned my shark since 2012. My daughter bought another vacumn for downstairs.

Hey Kathryn, what a timely video. I bought a Steam Shot, months ago, after watching one of your videos. After I got it I thought it was either too small or too much of a hassle to bother with it (who remembers months ago....) 😆 I had planned to return it to Amazon, but they gifted it to me so I got to keep it. 🎁 And it sat for months until last weekend. I bought a 1969 Scotty camper that is covered in green funky stuff on the exterior. Out of desperation, I took out the Steam Shot and scraping tool and used it on the windows. OMG 😳 It totally changed my thoughts! It cleared decades of gunk in a matter of seconds!! It even impressed my not easily impressed father! Thanks for the tip!😍💗😁

[@elizabethsparrowhughes10]

I always wanted a Dyson. My mom got one and it always stayed clogged. It never picked everything up and i was like there is no way this vacuum cost you SO MUCH, and does so little. My grandmas old vacuum could do more than it could 😳 my husband ended up getting me a shark one year after I saw just how “great” of a job the Dyson did. When my mom saw mine, and what it did, she went out and got her one that night when my stepdad got off of work! I have been a dedicated Shark customer and will continue to be unless something major happens. My first shark lasted so long, I actually had it about 5 years and this was with me using it at home, then taking it with me to work also as I was cleaning beach rentals. So I put some miles & hours on it and it still lasted a good while! The one I have now is an upgrade I got a super great deal on, and I am so impressed! They have yet to disappoint. And no, I did not get paid to post this comment. However, if Shark would like to pay me, I’m down 😁🤷🏼‍♀️😁

[@katherinerodriguez8547]

Which Shark vacuum did you have??

[@Patsy950]

I'm totally with you. Ive never got on with dysons they are heavy awkward and clumsy not ergonomically built for the people that are going to use them. I would use anything cheaper just better and i found them less frustrating to use than the dyson because they (not the Dyson) were more practical.

Great video like always. I just have to say I gifted myself last Christmas the Dyson Outsize cordless vacuum. It is worth every penny and Id say saves me so much more in time, energy and peace of mind. It has been a life saver. I had a corded Shark I loved, but was tired of he cord. The Dyson is absolutely worth every penny. I hated vacuuming so I wouldn't until it was overwhelming, at best it would take me about 40 minutes for the downstairs rooms at least 2 times a week. The Dyson cut my time down to 10 minutes for the same area, and now I LOVE vacuuming and pulling out the vacuum is no longer a chore. I would not give my baby up,,I've been sold!

[@alexa574]

Just had to add we are a family of 4 adults, 3 large hair dogs and a cat, so lots for hair, dirt and dust. Can't get family to take shoes off, so this keeps my sanity and I can keep my family and pets, lol.

[@Celenia2231]

Hi Kathryn! 👋🏼 I want to first point out that you are the very 1st person I have ever left a comment for on KZbin in all my years here. Your channel is everything I love and admire. Please post more content when you can, for rental friendly ways of anything, and how to decide (when not wanting to have holes everywhere in your rented townhouse) what to hang on walls when you have pre teen and teen who paint on canvases. My 15 year old paints SO much I have no room for it all. I need help organizing them PLUS figuring out how I decide how much AND what should go on walls.🤔

[@cfranklin8841]

For wet vacuums, we have the Bissel Pet Spot Bot and my husband SWEARS by it! You can do a spot cleaning on hard to get up stains, just turn it on and walk away and it does ALL the work. We recently moved into a new home and we rented one of those giant carpet cleaners to clean all our carpets before we moved in and there were still tons of stains left. We came back with our Spot Bot and it took out those stains like it was NOTHING. We also have Bissel Pet Vacuum and same deal, it works so much better than a regular vacuum so much less work for me! My recommendation: get the machines that are rated to take care of pet messes because they are built to take care of bigger messes! (btw I have a toddler and a newborn, my house is disgusting and I'm exhausted and these things are my life savers! So much less effort on my part)

I actually love my dyson cordless. It's amazing. Out of all the vacuums I've owned, never had to replace it. I gave my non cordless to my son, which I owned for 11 years. My cordless I use anywhere, in my car. It's lightweight. More money but I likely will not have to replace for decades.

[@cherylb9643]

I was thrilled to see you chose my Shark allergy vac as the best in that price range because I super like you so I super trust you, which makes me feel even better that it is the one I purchased!

[@janiebirdthorn]

Girl, I have two shark rockets, shark robot vacuum that empties itself, and the shark steam mop….couldn’t do without them! I also have the Bissel steamshot, and the carpet cleaner…..you and I must love the same cleaners! Ha!! ❤️❤️❤️

FYI, I was in the Ninja-Shark Store the other day and asked what the suction was on their best battery-powered stick vacuum. It took a while, but the manager finally came over and after a lot of "umms" and "wells" and just basic evasion, he finally told me that the suction on that unit was just 17KPa. Most of your no-name stick vacuums and all of the small-names are rated at between 30KPa and 45KPa and techno-reviews measure them at between 26KPa and 46KPa. In other words, the Shark's "rating" is barely over half that of the "measured" suction of most of the cheap knock-offs and barely a third that of the best of the knock-offs. Unfortunately, the big names that I used to depend on to be among the best, are now selling only their name and past reputation. Something I've learned, while looking for a new stick vacuum, is that Shark, Dyson, Eureka, and other big-name vacuum companies have not kept up with the technology. They are simply coasting. They are selling inferior technology at the kind of prices that their past products used to justify. Note:, I realize that this video is a couple of years old and the technology has changed a lot in that time. The vacuum that I was looking to replace, when I found this video, was at the high-end of suction when I bought it, at 28KPa, a few years ago. But today, it's not even worth it to replace the battery, since 28KPa doesn't even qualify it for low-end runner-up. By the time someone posts a video review of a product, that product is within days of being obsolete. That's not a bad thing. I prefer to chase technology rather than wait for it. Bottom line: I would avoid the Shark stick vacuums. They are now in the mode of, "We no longer have to sell good products, because fools will buy our products, based on our name, alone." For the record, I first learned about KPa in vacuums many, many years ago, when I sold Kirby vacuums. In vacuums, KPa is king.

I love my little Bissell 3 in 1 vaccum. It was $30 at Walmart and can turn into a handheld. Of course it doesn't have the tube which is always handy, but it's really good for if you want a small vaccum and don't feel like lugging around the big one. I don't have carpet but other people claim it works nicely on carpet too.

[@alexisg7644]

Have you had it for long? I just got this a couple weeks ago and love it so far.

[@NikkiSixxIsMyGod]

My mom bought an expensive Dyson and said it was horrible...hated it and I think she returned it. She bought a Shark and LOVES it! She actually owns 5 or 6 vacuums she told me...I own 3...One upright that has no "tools" and one upright that has tools and the third is a handheld that needs replacing. Yes to the Bissell Pro Heat Pet Carpet Cleaner too...I bought one at Walmart a few years ago on sale for around $200 Canadian and love it! My old Bissell Little Green Machine is handy too...but that thing seems to sometimes leak or spray out and never has worked that well for me. Love the video, appreciate all your input, Takce care....Cas in Canada

[@hotdogswithicecream3655]

The best vacuum I ever bought was a shop vacuum. They have tons of accessories, and can do all most everything. I love being able to pull it out a pick up any thing from liquid to dust.

[@Tonisuperfly]

What kind of shop vacuum? I can only find ones with limited attachments.

[@numbernine3436]

Omgoodness i used this today while cleaning a friend's kitchen. Hed gotten a bad scrap a few weeks ago , somehow somewhere picked up a pretty bad bacteria. I decided we could control the germs outside but we could do our best inside. Ordered this from Amazon on a Tues it arrived on Wed evening. You know when you see the steam you're killing any bacteria that you may not even know exist. I loved using it.. even tho the reservoir is small it cleans a larger area than you would think.. if using the steamer attachment on backslash, trim etc it loosens all grime so all you need to do is wipe ..no scrubbing. Every home needs one of these❤❤❤

[@charlottechicola5955]

I absolutely LOVE my Shark Navigator!!!!! I'd fight anyone who tried to take it.... Like YES IT IS THAT GOOD!!!!

[@docannedc]

I love my Shark! I bought a refurbished one in 2013 and its still running strong since. The hose broke several years ago, I contacted Shark, and they sent me a new hose free of charge.

[@bluegirl777]

CAUTION ON THE SHARK NAVIGATOR: We bought one several years ago and loved it. But if you or someone in your house sheds a lot of hair, it will keep getting clogged around the bottom over and over. Even with a thorough clean every other vacuum, it eventually snapped near the wheel and broke. We have since upgraded to one with the ANTI HAIR LOCK TECHNOLOGY.

[@laceym3662]

We have 3 girls and an Aussie and I can't agree more. The pet version with the rubber hair guard is a must.

[@erendirar8584]

What vacuum is the one working for you now? I have 2 dogs that shed a lot.

[@jilllovesbeegees70]

Yup, We are always cleaning my long hair out of the Peter bar. But it still works great I just go over and dump it out in the garbage can and use the scissors to cut my hair out of the beater bar.

[@bluegirl777]

@@jilllovesbeegees70 As stated, we did this too but eventually it wears out beyond repair.

[@bluegirl777]

@@erendirar8584 We bought the Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away.

[@Carolmaizy]

I bought the Shark Navigator you recommended last night. Used it today and we cannot believe the dust that came out of the (previously vacuumed with the old machine) carpet. The handle is heavy, but the cleaner propels itself, almost, and the swivel head is great. I'm so glad we bought this vacuum cleaner! My allergies will thank me for sure.

[@Carolmaizy]

We also love the long cord and the easy clean dust cup.

[@ThePomskysPalace]

I’ve never had an issue with my wireless Dyson, I love my Shark detachable 1, but nothing beats a massive Corded dyson for thorough cleaning of pet hair and all the crap Shark doesn’t get up…but for the price difference it damn sure better! 😆

[@sharonlatour6230]

It's refurbished

[@Aryat1979]

This!! 💯

[@janicemiller9006]

Several years ago we were given a brand new ( never been used) bissell pet pro-heat for free. Along with cleaning solutions, and spot cleaners . It worked great on the floor we used it on. We don’t have pets now but did in the past and I loved it.

[@laurapowell4327]

Totally agree with your vacuum review. My daughter had to have the Dyso Pet thing but I tried to pickup pet food and it never did. My shark works 10 times better.

[@lsosburn55]

I have had the Shark Rocket for 5 years. You can buy replacement filters for it on Amazon to ensure you can keep it running well for many years. Works so well. I love my Shark Rocket!!

[@charlenecastaldo3602]

Thanks Kathryn, for your helpful, honest reviews! Our little shark vacuum cleaner is the best vacuum we had and we've worn out several.

[@gmaa67flatterson22]

Just have to say it, THANK YOU! Amazing content delivered by such a beautiful bright soul.

[@rss-ws3so]

I have a Shark also. I had a Dyson and it sucked! No, it didn't suck up anything actually. lol It wouldn't pick up threads on the floor. Love my Shark Navigator. I was in Walmart before Christmas and a worker asked if I needed a vacuum, I said No. He told me that the Sharks were going on sale for $50 and wouldn't last long. I called my girls and mom and bought three. I kept one and gave two for presents. Talk about luck!

[@mocha71775]

That's the kind of sales associate contact I wish I had in all the stores I shop in. Of course I'd probably be constantly broke if I did. 😆

[@ForGoodnesSake]

Great score!! Shark for the win!! I've had sharks for 12 yrs in my cleaning business, they are great machines.

[@Legobrickfuncousin]

I have owned the same Shark vacuum I bought at least 15-years ago and I love it! I tried a Dyson one time my daughter-in-law had and didn’t like it at all. Thought mine worked so much better. Love these reviews.

[@Lashlove16]

I bought the dyson stick . I actually vacuum often and my house is sooo clean. For those in the market purchase a stick that was recommended on this video as it was a game changer Also my husband bought a used carpet shampooer with attachments for $75 and it’s been such a life saver with young kids

[@Royannaf1]

I’ve had my Dyson for 24 years! It works absolutely perfectly even after all this time.

[@juliemariariley3212]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Last year I purchased the Bissel steam shot after watching your cleaning video- I absolutely love mine and it works great! I’m putting some of these suggestions on my new ‘wish list’ 🌻 I hope you have an amazing day 😊

[@juliacockroft8745]

Kim at ‘THE WADS’ highly recommends the Bissel Crosswave floor and area rug wet dry vacuum. She frequently comments on how much she like it. It’s in the $250 range on Amazon.

[@lolanola7974]

Love my Crosswave!! With multiple furbabies it’s a game changer.

[@spearministries424]

thank you testing all this stuff for us :)

[@carmenrosario5539]

Love this type of videos! Short, clear, direct and specific. Which is the best robot for floors and carpets, sweeping, vacuum, self cleaning? Do you need a vacuum.if you own the robot too? Thanks!

[@kimonawhim6109]

I’m so bummed I fell for the hype of the Dyson. I picked up the V7 3 years ago during a Black Friday sale and should have put that money into upgrading my Shark. My Shark rocket is at least 7 years old and still out vacuums the (only runs on low/trigger holding/pushing mess forward) Dyson. Live and learn.

[@ramonac6426]

We have our Dyson Animal for 14 years. It works great but it is heavy and harder to maneuver than it used to be. We got a robotic sweeper/vacuum 4 years ago. It is GREAT at keeping up with pet hair. It was under $90 on sale, totally worth it for us. We get out the Dyson for a deeper clean as needed. Got a handheld that is awesome, Black and Decker, it is used for scattered kitty litter and hard to reach crevice areas.......game changer. I used to use a little whisk broom, ugh. The Dyson was expensive but, it has lived a long life and still has great suction. If and when I need to replace it, I would try a Shark. I have heard many people love theirs.

[@ChivasKimber]

If she keeps telling me I’m enough I may actually start to believe it!
