    Top secret now on the shelf

    About 6 months ago I had two relatively interesting vacuums come into the office, at the time I didn't think much of them and had to sign a bunch of paper work saying we would not talk about them until they were for sale. They hit the shelves so I can talk about them now. They are the new LG...

    First Impressions can be wrong

    I while back I bought a Shark Navigator and immediately loved it. well after using it for about 3 weeks I now hate it. First of all the dust cup can hold about a cup of dust which means you must empty it every couple minutes. Nest is the fact that the brush roll was so small it would not fluff...

    Hoover Platinum Advice

    I purchased a Hoover Platinum bagged upright about 4 months ago to use at home, I live the vacuum so far except for the fact that it stinks horribly when I use it.
