Air-Storm Vacuum Cleaner Review

No vacuum cleaner is perfect. Almost every vacuum cleaner has design flaws that create problems. Maybe the biggest problem is that, as the filter bag fills with dirt, there is less airflow and suction. This problem is even shown in bagless vacuums because the filters clog up as the container fills with dirt, dust, and pet hair.

The worst feature that most vacuum cleaners have that they have bags that eventually clog up and restrict air flow. All bags and filters are porous. All bags, cloth or paper, have tiny air holes that allow the air to flow through them. When there is a dirt particle larger than the air hole, the particle clogs the hoe and restricts the free flowing of air. Eventually the entire surface of the bag or filter is coated with this dust. The airflow is slowed dramatically, and that is why your vacuum cleaner loses suction as the bag or filter clogs up.

That restricted air flow is what causes motors to overheat. The Air-Storm vacuum cleaner has an airflow system that constantly keeps the bag surface clean, allowing for constant airflow and no loss of suction. As the air is pulled into the bag chamber, the angle of the airflow actually blasts the back of the bag clean, allowing unrestricted air to reach the motor and flow out the exhaust. The Air-Storm vacuum cleaner casing is made out of a near indestructible resin material that will never warp when heated.

The metal motor in the Air-Storm is a pleasant surprise. Metal is more durable than plastic, and is a conductor of heat. As the heat is generated in the motor, it is dissipated away from the inside of the motor. This keeps the bearings from drying out. Metal motors are far more durable than plastic motors. Most vacuums made, and all that you buy in discount stores have plastic motors.

Remember that Hoover vacuum your grandmother had for 50 years? It lasted because it had a metal motor and metal parts. Most vacuum cleaners are no longer made as well.

The Air-Storm cleaning system also has two HEPA filters that prevent any dust from escaping the exhaust. One of the HEPA filters is optional, and isn't included in the standard package.

The Air-Storm tools have air holes drilled in the, called "venturi air vents" that allow for constant airflow at the tools. This is especially useful if your upholstery is coated with Scotchguard. If your tools shut of the airflow, you won't be able to pick up any dirt at the tool. Other vacuum cleaners also have similar air vents at the tools; Riccar, Tri-Star, and Carpet Pro also use some form of air vets at the tools.

The Air-Storm vacuum cleaner is American made in California, and it's the most well designed vacuum cleaner we have seen. My only complaint is that the Carpet tool, or power nozzle (as it is called) is from a manufacturer that has parts unavailable to most retailers. At ,895 retail, it's not cheap, but. The Air-Storm gets our recommendation.

I have seen the Air-Storm sold for less online, but a local dealer would be able to provide service far more easily than an internet seller. You always want to buy from an authorized dealer to guarantee warranty service will be provided.

Honeywell has been providing the world's 100 million homes and 5 million buildings with the right temperature control, comfort, and energy conservation brought about by its excellent products. The company which is one of the leading enterprises in the new millennium had its humble beginnings in 1904 way back in Wabash, Indiana, when a young engineer named Mark Honeywell was trying to fix some stuff in a heat generator as part of his plumbing and heating business.

One thing led to another and the original company named Honeywell Heating Specialty Co. merged with another company, the Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company, the name behind the invention of the first thermostat control. Right now the company with its new name Honeywell Inc. is one of the world's leading companies.

One of Honeywell's most renowned products is the air purifiers. It has been said by the Environmental Protection Agency that the inside air may be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the outside air. Honeywell has several types of air purifiers or cleaners, namely: electronic air cleaners, media air cleaners, and HEPA Air Cleaners.

This is known to filter out about 98% of minute particles passing through the heating or cooling system. It is also easy maintenance, having the Optional Air Watch System which will prompt you when you have to wash off the system from the particles.

Media Air Cleaners

This is the deap-pleated media air cleaner has its deep-pleated filters that take several feet of filtration material and fold it multiple times, providing the surface with filtration material. It also has the high-performance Grille Air Filter that combines superior air filtration with easy access from the living space.

HEPA Air Cleaners

Hoover Elite Rewind Upright Bagless U5507900 Vacuum Cleaner Review

The Hoover Elite Rewind Upright Bagless U5507900 is a bagless design vacuum cleaner with an E-Z Empty Bottom Release Dirt Cup and a lifetime HEPA filter. The 24' power cord is retractable which deletes the need to manually wind up the cord after each use. There are 7 height adjustments, headlight, and an air flow indicator that signals when the dirt cup is full and the filter needs to be cleaned. In addition, this model also includes an on-board tool kit that includes a long crevice wand, a combination dusting brush and upholstery tool and a deluxe stretch hose capable of a 9' extended release for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. Selling for under 0 dollars, this vacuum cleaner seems like a good value, especially with an included 1-year warranty.

The Hoover Elite Rewind Upright Bagless U5507900 is an impressive-looking machine with a strong-appearing design and a bold cherry-red color. The deluxe furniture guard is a generous wide black band that is attached across the front of the base. The guard is thick and protects baseboards and furniture from scratches. The tool set is included with the vacuum cleaner and stores nicely on the unit for easy access. In addition to the on-board tool kit, a powered pet hair removal tool is included and also stores on the handle. The powerful 12 amp vacuum motor and 15" widepath cleaning combined with the tool kit make this quite a good find at this price point. For the money, this is a fully featured vacuum cleaner with a lot of suction and a well-thought out design.

The Hoover Elite Rewind is equipped with a powered pet hair tool that is really effective on pet hair, especially when it is compared to the equivalent Eureka Vacuum Cleaner. This machine is a better-made unit than those produced by Eureka, particularly Eureka's 4D Pet Fresh vacuum. The Hoover far surpasses the amount of suction provided to the attachment tools, including the pet hair tool, resulting in more hair, dander and other debris ending up in the dirt cup. The nice thing about this particular model of Hoover is that it also has a deluxe hose for 9' of extended reach cleaning. The extra hose length is wonderful for cleaning wall and ceiling fixtures, baseboards, under furniture and on stairs.

The only feature that is really lacking on the Hoover Elite Rewind is self-propulsion, which is a nice thing to have on heavier vacuum cleaners. At around 17 lbs, this machine isn't overly heavy, but it weighs enough that self-propulsion would make a difference if the operator had large amounts of carpeting to cover on a regular basis. One great thing about this unit that does save the operator time is the automatic rewind of the power cord, which does tend to be quite aggressive. It is recommended that caution be used while the cord rewinds due the rapid retreat of the power cord and the prongs at the end on the plug. Without care, it is possible to get walloped by the fast moving plug.

With a HEPA filter, 24' retractable cord, 9'deluxe stretch hose, powered pet hair tool, 15" widepath cleaning, bagless design and other helpful features, the Hoover Elite Rewind is a good value vacuum cleaner at a decent price. The 1-year warranty included with this Hoover unit and the fact that the machine has a washable filter and requires no bags makes this a really good deal for someone in the market for a new vacuum cleaner.
