Shop-Vac 90526 Small Foam Sleeve, Type CC



The product was unavailabe in local store
I purchased 2 foam sleeves for my shop vacs. The only down side is that one tore on the side seem trying to put it over the filter. It is very difficult to stretch the foam sleeve without tearing it.

fits, works, what more can you want?
i went thru 2 normal air filters before realizing that a waterproof filter existed, i like it. some people complained that it doesn't fit, but while it's snug (I think it has to be to work) it fits fine for me.

Close Fit Replacement
Foam Sleeve filter was a little hard to fit on the unit, had to move it a little bit at a time all around the gage. Once on, it worked perfectly.

Fresh Wave Odor Neutralizing Carpet Shake, 6 Ounce



A Refreshing Solution
This neutralizing carpet powder is the real deal.

In just one application, my living room now smells free from the trapped musty odors of summer. Everyone who has carpet knows that dirt and odors absorb into the tiny crevices of the carpet and it is then that the awful smells perforate in the air. It is immediate--you can smell your musty pet odors when you enter the room.

But I'm glad I invested in this six-ounce canister of carpet powder. It works. But I've had to apply a second application the following day. But after you vacuum up the white powder, letting it sit for ten minutes or longer, you notice the woodsy smell immediately. And now when I enter the room, I cannot detect the awful smells of pet and must odor.

And unlike some of the other customers here, the odor of woodsy pines did not affect my olfactory senses, or my allergies. I highly recommend this product.

Disappointed
I use Fresh Wave Gel all the time and expected the carpet shake to work as well for eliminating odors in my carpet. It doesn't.

Totally neutralized dank mildew odor in carpet
I'm shocked at how well this stuff worked -- I just moved into a new rental apt, and the bedroom carpet had a dank, basement-like mildew smell. The smell was really overwhelming... I couldn't be in the room for more than a few minutes bc it was so strong. I used an entire can on a 10x12 room, and I can't smell any trace of the mildew now. It's only been a day since I used the shake, so will update the review after some time.

Oreck Xl21 Vacuum Cleaner Brush Roll - Genuine



Excellent replacement for the XL21 though not OEM
I ordered this brush roll as a replacement to my original XL21 brush in which the bearings seized. I was unaware that I was purchasing an aftermarket brush roll.

Upon initial inspection, I noticed that the brush roll I received was heavier than the original. The edges of the brush roll are of a cast aluminum construction as opposed to the molded plastic of the original. The brush roll installed as easily and fits as well as the OEM.

In regard to performance, I can only speculate as I have conducted no scientific tests. I would guess however that the overall cleansing performance of the brush roll is similar to that of the original as the roll is very similar in design with very similar bristles and brush pattern.

I would definitely recommend this brush roll for those seeking a lower cost alternative to that of the original XL21 brush roll as the performance and quality seems to almost mirror that of the original.

Not genuine, but it works...
Just like the other reviewer stated the title for this item is misleading. While it has been working fine for the last few months, it didn't fit the vacuum perfectly. The size of the unit I received was maybe a 8th to a 16th inch too wide, but fit nonetheless.

Oreck xl brush
Came, fit perfect and was same as factory part, but much much lower price then going to oreck for the same part. Works as good as when new and is 8 years old.

Stiebel Eltron CK 15E 120-Volt 1500-Watts Wall Mounted Electric Fan Heater



Hot, hot, . . . hot product!
This heater was perfect for replacing our 31 year old bathroom heater as we required dimensions that would cover the hole in the wall with surrounding antique tile. The Stiebel Eltron is very quiet and immediately produces a strong flow of warm air so one can bath without waiting to warm the room. Great product and attractive in it's white design.

Add cord hang on wall and forget
A nice small room heater. Quiet and very light weight. You will need to supply your own correctly rated power cable.

Dyson Car Cleaning Kit



Older and newer versions have their drawbacks...
The kit comes with 3 tools, and 1 adapter. There are 2 versions of this kit though. The older one (which I purchased) comes with a tension "snap into place" style adapter. It attaches to each tool, and then slides on to the end of the Dyson hose. The adapter's an absolute PAIN to get on and off of the tools though, so....Dyson upgraded to a quick release type. Unfortunately, the quick release adapter is a bit too small, so it's difficult to get onto the Dyson hose. Not much of an improvement! (One of my other Dyson tools has that adapter, so I've been able to experience both.) Because the old adapter was a better fit for my vacuum, I kept the kit, and bought 2 more adapters directly from Dyson for $2/ea. Now I'm set! 3 tools, 3 adapters, no interchanging, no fuss!

Love two of the three tools
I bought this and love two of the three tools. They work great and help so much around the house and getting into the nooks. the car tool that is part bendable plastic is great to get under the seats or behind the dryer where you need the product to bend just a bit.

the car tool I don't think works all that well. It uses the vaccum wind to get the brushes to spin and it is WAY to easy to get them to stop or not work. the kit is cheaper than buy each of the other two pieces by themselves so i would recommend the kit over purchasing individual pieces assuming the pricing stays the way it currently is.

Cant live without it!
I got this a little over a year ago and love it, it makes cleaning my car so much easier!

Dirt Devil SD40010 EZ Lite Bagless Canister



IMPORTANT INFO regarding CLOGS
I've owned this vac for about 2 months and began experiencing loss of suction and poor performance. I was literally at wit's end and ready to throw the thing out the window. I bought new filters and still the same problems. I read the instruction manual over and over, looking for some reason. Here's the deal that the instruction manual DOESN'T mention: there is a pre-filter inside the plastic "bagless" collector part you pull out and empty (NOT related to the grey sponge or the HEPA filter). Open the bottom of the dirt/dust collector. Empty the contents and look up inside. There is a black cylinder inside a clear cylindrical receiver. I hold the bagless collector in my left hand so when I turn it upside down, the assembly is on the right. You can't miss it, although I did for 2 months. That is where all the hair and other light-weight junk builds up!!! Give the black cylinder a counter-clockwise twist, pull it out, and clean. I literally pulled out about a packed 8-ounce...

Cheap, powerful, versatile, easy to use and clean.
I can't believe how many people complain about having to clean out the dirt, debris, hair, and dust from a BAGLESS vacuum. How did they think the dirt got out, internal incineration? Having no bag means it uses filters and catches to stop the stuff on your floor and in your carpet from blowing out the other end of the machine after it's sucked up.

How about this: buy some cheap rubber or latex gloves and a cheap white breathing mask to wear while you clean out the canister each time if you can't handle getting dirty and you don't want to pay more for a fancier vacuum.

I looked on Amazon and the top rated bagless canister vacs are Miele and are up to $500+. I'm assuming they are less effort to clean out but the principle is the same. Everything that goes in, must come out one way or the other even if it means clogging up your machine and throwing the whole thing away.

As for using this one, yes, everything it sucks up, you have to eventually dump...

Wish I could give ZERO STARS
This vac was impressive out of the box. the suction was amazing... for a week. You quickly will discover that his vac takes an enormous amount of TLC. If you have a woman in the house with longish hair, or pets, it will clog up immediately. You have to use your fingers or a tool to pull out the debris EVERY time you vacuum. The filter pad has direct contact with debris, so it need to be replaced or washed every few vacuums. WE VACUUM EVERY DAY.. not carpet.. hard wood floors.. and this vac lasted a month before it completely died, despite all our extra care of unclogging, etc.
I'm not sure what it is supposed to vacuum up. It can't handle hair.. it chokes on anything bigger than a cheerio.
Miserable, awful product. Went into the garbage today.
I suspect it has probably already been discontinued.
PLEASE don't waste your money.
