I love my pineapple hued Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner.  I bought my Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner at Wal-Mart for a very reasonable $79.88 before tax.  It was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive bagless upright vacuum cleaner in the store.  After comparing it to the other bagless vacuum cleaners on display, the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner seemed like the most logical purchase.  Moreover, its Good Housekeeping seal of approval along with Wal-Mart’s generous 90-day return policy made it a no brainer when deciding to bring it home and to give it a spin.  On my return home, this is what I found.

1.  The Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum with HEPA filter sucks up dust and dirt like no one’s business.

At 12 amps, this is a powerful machine.  My husband and I marveled at the dust balls, hair and dirt that were collected after the first few sweeps over our carpeted living room floor.  There is something immensely satisfying about seeing the dust and debris accumulate in its clear plastic canister.

Its HEPA filtration system, also, makes it an ideal vacuum for the allergy sufferer.

Furthermore, the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner has five adjustable settings for floor and carpet height.  With one pass over our vinyl flooring in the kitchen, bathroom and entryway, it has made sweeping with a broom a thing of the past.    

2. The Eureka Altima Turbo bagless upright vacuum has cool accessories that make cleaning easier and fun.
The telescopic self-cleaning duster is a hoot.  It is tucked into the narrow, clear canister on the side of the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum.  You just twist the handle that sticks out of the canister and pull it out for use.  The handle of the duster can extend out to 3 feet for high reach dusting.  After use, stick the duster back into its canister and turn on the vacuum.   When you pull the plastic lever located beneath the duster canister, dust is sucked right out of the duster and into the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum.  This suction action also “charges” the duster with electrostatic electricity making it a virtual dust magnet for your next cleaning.  Is that cool or what?

The Power Paw with Riser Visor is another nifty accessory that is included with the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner.  This little attachment flips up and down for horizontal and vertical cleaning of stairs and upholstery.  However, as much as I love my Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum, I have to admit that this 25 pound machine makes it too heavy and cumbersome to ergonomically clean a flight of stairs (Isn’t that why they invented the Dust Buster?). However, the Power Paw worked great cleaning the sides and seats of my upholstered sofa, ottoman and chairs.

The extra long crevice tool and wand is another great accessory of the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner.  It’s ideal for cleaning baseboards, corners and any narrow, hard to reach area such as between the refrigerator and wall.

The upholstery and dusting brush can be attached to the extra long crevice tool and wand for cleaning your more stubborn dusty areas that need to be vacuumed.  I’ve used the upholstery and dusting brush on our computer keyboards, baseboards, fans and even the coils on the back of the refrigerator.

3. The Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner is a streamlined machine that makes cleaning quicker and more efficient.

All of the above accessories and attachments have their own separate compartments located on the vacuum cleaner itself eliminating unnecessary trips to the utility closet for different attachments and brushes.

Instead of unwinding a cord for operation, an easy cord release allows the user to quickly plug in the vacuum for use.

4.  The scuff resistant furniture guard on the front and sides of the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless upright vacuum cleaner prevents damage and unslightly marks to your home and its contents.

This light gray rubber guard allows you to get amazingly close to the baseboards without any damage or scuff marks to the molding.

5. The Eureka Altima Turbo bagless upright vacuum cleaner’s no touch bagless system and non-pleated filter system makes it easier to clean.

To get rid of the dirt and debris that has accumulated in the plastic canister of the bagless vacuum, all one has to do is push a plastic slider to the right at the bottom of the canister, take it out and dump its content into a trash can.

Moreover, the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner has a flat surfaced, one-piece spongy filter that is more easily cleaned than its pleated counterparts.  You can use warm water and mild soap when necessary to clean it, or you can just thump it a few times to get rid of the excess lint.  The filter should be air dried before putting it back in its place.

There are only a few changes that I would like to see made to the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner.  It would be great if it were a few pounds lighter and had a one and a half inch higher handle and a two foot extension hose that could be stretched up to 4 feet for cleaning drapes and cobwebs at the corner of ceilings.  However, the accessories included in this bagless vacuum cleaner along with its powerful cleaning ability makes this bagless upright a truly exceptional deal.  If you are searching for an all around, powerful bagless vacuum cleaner with a lot of bells and whistles without the bells and whistles price, you will be very happy with the Eureka Altima Turbo bagless vacuum cleaner.

The Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum is as effective at cleaning your different floor surfaces as its name is long. While the name may be a mouth full, the Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used. There are so many features that make this a vacuum to beat all other vacuums. To start with the Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum offers a special feature Dyson endearingly calls Root Cyclone. Root Cyclone keeps suction going when most other vacuums lose their cleaning power. It also has a large debris channel that allows you to vacuum larger pieces of debris. Nothing is more annoying than having to go behind you vacuum and pick up pieces of debris that were left behind. The Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum also makes cleaning small detail areas easier with their handy one touch wand. A simple push of a button activates the vacuum powered hose for cleaning high and low. No more opening a dusty hole and attaching the hose to switch vacuum sources. This is a great feature for those of you out there with allergies to dust and dander.

With the popularity of hardwood floors, tiled floors, and even concrete floors on the rise, a tool like the Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum can be very handy in the care of your home.

Another bonus for allergy sufferers is the lifetime guaranteed HEPA Filter inside of the Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum. This lifetime HEPA filter means that the air that is pushed out from the vacuum is cleaner than any other vacuum on the market today. The Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum also comes with a washable filter that eliminates the cost of replacement filters. Although the Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum will run you about $500, saving money throughout your lifetime by eliminating the cost of filters can make this a wise investment.

With all of these wonderful features in mind, there is still one that is my very favorite. We all hate emptying the vacuum bag or dumping the bin full of dust out of our vacuum. The Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum has one of the easiest to clean filters out there. You simply push a button to release the dirt. No shaking, knocking, or beating the dust free! With my old vacuum I had to take the filter outside and beat it into a garbage bag so that dust and dander would not be all over my yard and me!

Silly as it seems, one of my other favorite features of the Dyson All Floors Ball Yellow DC15 Upright Vacuum is its bright yellow color. Vacuums are generally sedate and boring colors. A trendy yellow is cheerful and uplifting while you are vacuuming!

    I think Consumer Reports tested this type of item a while ago, and said they didn’t work very well. Definitely not worth the money.

    These little units are generally so limited by their suction power (or severe lack thereof) that they’re useless. Even larger “Dustbuster” sized units are pretty pathetic with their suction power.

    Canned air is far better as in general it’s easier to blow dust away than it is to suck it up with a vacuum.

  5. browndog77 Says:

    Vacuuming is far better than blowing where dust & electronics are concerned, but something that small will not produce enough suction to be effective. There are plenty of attachments for larger vacs that work well on keyboards & the like.
    The problem w/ pressurized air is it can force dust & lint into the case behind the buttons. Keyboards have a water dam under the keys with an opening on top. Air could force stuff into those openings. This I learned from my A-Plus instructor

  6. Mrten Says:

    January 27th, 2010 at 4:05 pm

    Canned air removes more dust than vacuuming ever will, especially ’stuck’ dust on electronics. Just take what you’re cleaning outside.

    Another downside: vacuuming builds static electricity (especially when the air is dry), which can easily destroy sensitive electronics.

    It won’t do much for cooling a component.

    A five cubic foot tank, a few dollars worth of brass fittings from from Harbor freight, and a blow-gun nozzle. Fill it up at my compressor and I am ready to go. At $6.00-$7.00 a can it pays for itself pretty fast.

  9. Mister Peepers Says:

    January 27th, 2010 at 8:20 pm

    For keyboard gunge, just invert the keyboard, and shake. Anything that doesn’t come out using gravity, won’t be removed by a dodgy play-vacuum.

    The static charge problem should be dealt with in the same way as when working on any electronic device, by grounding your body and touching the case while working. That is simple elec101. I wouldn’t want to carry everything that needed cleaning outside! It’s not just keyboards we’re talking about. If you have pets, open the case on your desktop pc & you’ll see why air is not the answer.

    Metro also makes the plug-in DataVac Electric Duster, which is a blower only with no vacuum. I suspect it is powerful enough to actually do some good.

    http://www.metrovacworld.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog_name=metrovac&product_id=DataVacED

    There is also the even more powerful Airforce Blaster Sidekick.

    http://www.metrovacworld.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog_name=metrovac&product_id=Sidekick

    Both more expensive than the Shuttle above or the compressor and air tank Scott mentions.

I'm delighted with this vacuum cleaner. I recently got a cat and wanted to keep the pet hair under control. I thought I would have to spend at least twice as much money (probably more!) to get this much suction. It pushes just fine across the carpet (even on low setting) and seems to do a good job. The real benefits are the attachments. The hose has fantastic suction and they weren't kidding when they called it a turbo brush. I wouldn't use it on anything delicate, but it's great for regular upholstery. I used the dusting attachment on my lampshades and was impressed. I also wanted a bagged vacuum (less mess… which is the point of cleaning!), which seem to be harder to find these days. The downsides are that it's sorta hard to get the hose out of it's holder and it's a little heavy. But overall, I would definitely recommend this vacuum, especially if you're looking for good attachment suction. And only $80!!

Abstract (provisional)

Background

The impact of Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB, 11-Gauge) upon Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) remains an open field. This study aims to: i) assess short-term (4 days after VABB) responses in terms of HRQoL after VABB, ii) evaluate long-term (18 months after VABB) responses, if any, and iii) examine whether these responses are modified by a variety of possible predictors (anthropometric, sociodemographic, lifestyle habits, breast-related parameters, reproductive history, VABB-related features and complications, seasonality).

Methods

This study included 102 eligible patients undergoing VABB and having benign lesions. A variable number of cores (24-96 cores) has been excised. HRQoL was assessed by EQ-5D and SF-36(R) questionnaires: i) in the morning of the VABB procedure day (baseline measurement), ii) four days after VABB (early post-biopsy measurement) and iii) 18 months after VABB (late post-biopsy measurement). Statistical analysis comprised two steps: i. evaluation of differences in EQ-5D/SF-36 dimensions and calculated scores (baseline versus early post-biopsy measurement and baseline versus late post-biopsy measurement) and ii. assessment of predictors through multivariate linear, logistic, ordinal logistic regression, as appropriate.

Results

At baseline patients presented with considerable anxiety (EQ-5D anxiety/depression dimension, EQ-5D TTO/VAS indices, SF-36 Mental Health dimension). At the early post-biopsy measurement women exhibited deterioration in Usual Activities (EQ-5D) and Role Functioning-Physical dimensions. At the late measurement women exhibited pain (EQ-5D pain/discomfort and SF-36 Bodily Pain), deterioration in Physical Functioning (SF-36 PF) and overall SF-36 Physical Component Scale (PCS). Mastalgia, older age and lower income emerged as significant predictors for baseline anxiety, whereas seasonality modified early activities-related responses. Pain seemed idiosyncratic.

Conclusions

The HRQoL profile of patients suggests that VABB exerts effects prior to its performance at a psychological level, immediately after its performance at a functioning-physical level and entails long-term effects associated with pain.

The City DC26 is a ‘mini’ vacuum cleaner model, the smallest one till date by any company, to be launched by Dyson – a brand that is associated with the manufacture of products like a wheel- less wheelbarrows and amphibious automobiles.

The company which boasts an over 20 percent share of the US vacuum cleaner market has especially designed the slick new City DC26 to cater to the needs of the people residing in small flats.

Even though the DC26 is so small a vacuum cleaner that it can fit on a piece of A4 paper, Dyson has ensured that the £249.99-priced ‘mini’ machine is packaged with the same ‘punch’ as its bigger counterparts – boasting 13 inner cyclones that use centrifugal force to suck dirt.

Notwithstanding its small size, the 3.25kg DC26 is essentially manufactured with the ‘toughness’ factor in mind. The tests of the device reveal that it can withstand 5,318 drops onto a hard floor and 10,000 beats against a metal wall.

Noting that the DC26 has been ‘created from scratch’, with 275 parts re-engineered and made smaller by the Dyson technicians, the company’s owner James Dyson said: “It took us five years to painstakingly compress and rebuild every single component before we had a machine that was a third smaller than its predecessor, yet could still tackle dirt like bigger machines.”
