Oreck Cord-Free Electrik Broom QuickStick (model # KA12D150040035U)

The Oreck Cord-Free Electrik Broom QuickStick (model # KA12D150040035U) came in an Oreck Vacuum cleaner bundle set. The good thing about this vacuum is that it was free now for the bad things...

This Oreck Cord-Free Electrik Broom QuickStick's suction is horrible. I have run it over small fine debris only to find 20% to 40% of the debris still there. The feature of this vacuum cleaner becoming a hands free is okay for the steps but again you better be prepared to go over the debris a couple of times.

When you use this vacuum as a hands free model you have to hold it just at the correct angle or it will not pick up anything.

I can not understate the worthlessness of this vacuum cleaner. Oh did I mention that this Oreck Cord-Free Electrik Broom QuickStick (model # KA12D150040035U) is cordless! But unfortunately I have decided that leaving Oreck Cord-Free Electrik Broom QuickStick (model # KA12D150040035U) plugged in and having it add too my power bill is not worth the pennies a day its costing me.

iRobot Roomba (model # 4299)

I am always amazed when I read a good review of any Roomba product, but especiall the iRobot Roomba model # 4299. This piece of garbage was fun for about 10 minutes, then I began questioning the manufacturers intentions. I even thought of bring up a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer for false advertising. 

This is an impractical solution that is not even a fun novelty item.

The iRobot Roomba's dirt receptacle area is a little larger than a pocket in a pair of tight jeans. The artificial intelligence is about the only thing accurate about this iRobot Roomba, because this robot is not intelligent. The patterns the iRobot Roomba travels in will only entertain you  for a couple of minutes than you will be left scrambling to assist this joke of a cleaning solution to go the correct direction.

The bumper becomes scuffed after a couple of months of use. The battery drains rapidly and needs to be replaced with limited usage in about 6 months.  

I was excited to hear that this Roomba could detect when the battery is low and go back to its docking stating. Cool concept but in reality its  painful to watch (imagine your drunk friend trying to find the bathroom after being passed out for several hours). I have only seen it dock successfully a few times. As this robot gets older ( in six months) it becomes blind and can't find it's docking bay, seriously.

The beeping it makes to alert you ithe I Robot battery is getting low will make you think of using this expensive coaster as a Frisbee.

Please don't buy the Roomba or any of its products...

P.S. I understand that they make little robots for the army. Makes complete sense.

Floormate ( model# H2850 ) - Hoover Floor Mate Power Brush 300

The Floormate ( model# H2850 ) - Hoover Floor Mate Power Brush 300 is horrible cleaning solution. I was so excited when it came out that I stalked it ever time I walked into Target. I would even imaging shelling out the big bucks for the solution on a regular basis. If it meant shinny hardwood floors and no more mopping mess then it was worth it.

Boy the Floormate ( model# H2850 ) - Hoover Floor Mate Power Brush 300 just disappointed month after month. The first use the floors looked great, even though everyone commented on how heavy this vacuum looking like device was. The second and third use I started to see it leave water in some areas. I started to get frustrated with the size of cleaning tank that you have to mix the solution for every 5 minutes. And I was getting over the fact that my floors started to look worst than before I used this electronic mop.

Eventually the Floormate ( model# H2850 ) - Hoover Floor Mate Power Brush 300 broke. It only took 6 months (right around the warranty) . It now sits in my closet next to the other vacuum cleaners as a reminder of what might have been.

Does anyone know of anyone who wants $150 worth of cleaning solution?
