Bissell 1770 Quicksteamer II Upright

Best Price: $88.00

from www.target.com
i highly reccomend this steamer to anyone, it would make a great wedding present or gift for anyone who lives in small apartment or house.
from www.target.com
i did find that you have to empty it more often because it's a smaller machine and the tank for the cleaning fluid doesn't do the area suggested on the box but that's ok.
from www.target.com
it is true what the other reviews say about this being great for small spaces.
from www.target.com
however, it does not bill itself for that -- it's perfect for smaller living areas and is so simple to use, you'll likely use it more often on smaller jobs therefore avoiding having to ever do a huge
from www.target.com
read all the reviews- good and bad and decided to take a chance on this machine..old carpets cleaned up so easily and found that the smaller tanks made it so much easier and user friendly.

Eureka 71AV Bagless Handheld

Best Price: $53.00

from www.amazon.com
i guess it the weight of it keeps me from grabbing it for the smaller jobs and having to crawl on my hands and knees to vacuum the stairs keeps it on the shelf for that job as well.
from www.amazon.com
in a small apartment it's impossible to justify the purchase of a large vacuum, and the dust buster just wasn't doing the job.
from www.amazon.com
the weight of this vacuum is perfect for small jobs, confined and small space areas to clean.
from www.amazon.com
it is a bit difficult to push across the floor--no rollers like the big vacs, but definitely worth it for the smaller messes.
from www.amazon.com
i owned an upright vacuum, and a smaller stick vacuum, and neither were practical or efficient at cleaning said stairs....i needed a handheld.

Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 SpinScrub Upright

Best Price: $174.00

from www.amazon.com
it makes short work of small jobs and is easy to operate and utilize all of the features when a bigger task is at hand such as whole house carpet cleaning.
from www.amazon.com
the gallon tanks are pretty much perfect in size -- smaller than that and you're always stopping, while if they were much larger it would be both heavy to push and impractical for small jobs.
from www.amazon.com
the hoover does have a smaller path and it took a few refills to complete a 13x26 living room, but the carpeting looked really good.
from www.amazon.com
my only gripe is that i wish it was easier to do spot cleaning with the steamvac, and am thinking about buying something smaller and more portable for it in the future.
from www.amazon.com
it's smaller too.

Black and Decker CHV1400 Bagless Handheld Cyclonic

Best Price: $33.00

from www.amazon.com
i owned a smaller dustbuster and wanted more power and a longer lasting battery...this is great...heavier but that is because of the battery...excellent product.
from www.amazon.com
can use it for 8-12 minutes at a time cleaning up small areas (around litter boxes, the whole carpet area of 1 whole room, etc) and can count on it picking up practically everything (i am sure it
from www.amazon.com
i use it for everything now, especially when i don't want to drag the big vac out for small jobs.
from www.amazon.com
it also has two most needed attachments, a small one with a brush tip and a long skinny one, perfect for baseboards, small spaces and upholstery.
from www.amazon.com
it is easy to empty and the run time has been adequate for any of the small jobs i use it for (less than 5 minutes).

Bissell 2080 QUICKSTEAMER Upright

Best Price: $99.00

from reviews.sears.com
it is the perfect machine for a spot removal, and small rooms.
from reviews.sears.com
although water tank much smaller it cleans like the big cleaners.
from www.target.com
but for a smaller cleaner, that can be expected.
from www.target.com
this cleaner is great for small areas or high-traffic areas.
from www.target.com
i live in a small apartment so i dont have lots of large areas to do but the high traffic areas were dirty and i wanted something to clean them up and i also have a dog so just wanted to freshen up

Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Bagless Canister

Best Price: $297.00

from www.amazon.com
however, its too strong for just smaller carpets and thus takes an effort to get it not to vacuum the carpet entirely....
from www.amazon.com
i use my vacuum several times a day because i have many pets including messy birds that toss their seeds & it isn't a chore taking out this vacuum even for the smallest jobs.
from www.amazon.com
- not a good machine for small apartments, it's requires more spaces for piping, cables, etc.
from www.amazon.com
i vacuumed with it and then with this new hoover and the dirt container of the hoover was full after doing a small dinning room average size living room and just the smallest hallway.
from www.amazon.com
i cleaned the entire house with the hoover today and found it much easier to maneuver, lighter, smaller and the head made it easier to get around small areas and under furniture.

Bissell Little Green Machine

Best Price: $112.00

from www.bestbuy.com
i have a full size cleaner but i prefer to use the little green for all the small jobs.
from www.amazon.com
it is also much more convenient than the smaller handhelds because the small cleaning wand can be used at angles and reach into places the dustbuster-style steamers can't.
from www.amazon.com
i decided i wanted a smaller, more portable model for my car, the stairs, furniture, and small stains due to people and pets.
from www.amazon.com
like i said, its good for smaller spills but i still wish they had a mini rug doctor i could take home!
from www.amazon.com
for smaller areas, hold the sprayer close.

Bissell 3106-3 Featherweight Upright

Best Price: $29.00

from www.amazon.com
it might be satisfactory as an "only" vacuum in a small apartment or dorm room, as long as the floors aren't carpeted.
from www.amazon.com
this is not your vacuum if you're looking for something with an amazing filter, but it is great if you need a vacuum for a small space.
from www.amazon.com
however, if you keep your filter clean-not too tough since it is so lightweight and easy to access-you can suck up little rocks in between a grain of sand but probably smaller than a dime.
from www.amazon.com
this vacuum is easy to put together, easier to store, and works perfectly for smaller clean-up jobs.
from www.amazon.com
it is just what i need for small jobs so i don't have to pull out the big vacuumn.

i still use a regular vacuum to get into all the small spaces, but the floor mate's vacuum feature works fine on most areas.
from www.bestbuy.com
it's easy to use and works well even in relatively small spaces.

what's great about it:?easy to use and works what's not so great:?none "i had one of the smaller models, but i burned it up - used it every week.

it does not get into small spaces because of its size and the electric cord constantly gets underfoot.

Black Decker CHV9600 Bagless Handheld Cyclonic

Best Price: $50.00

from www.buydig.com
summary: i really needed a handheld vacuum for a small apartment and this one does the trick.
from www.target.com
it's great for small jobs but the battery runs out soon so don't use it for anything big.
from www.target.com
the filters are hard to find but you can buy ones a little smaller and they work just as good.
from www.buydig.com
the only downside came when i was vacuuming the carpet and i noticed the sound getting smaller and things not picking up as well.
from www.buydig.com
very powerful for small areas of dust on carpet, sofa, or in the car.

from mamaliss "melissa m", www.target.com
i would suggest this vaccum to anyone looking to use it as a daily clean-up tool for thier hard wood and smaller rugs.
from mherren, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: picks up anything smaller than a french fry; lightweight; a must for anyone with a knee or back problem.
from www.amazon.com
so when my husband and i had the opportunity to register for our wedding, we thought we would try a smaller vacuum.
from www.amazon.com
it is very lightweight, not too noisy, has enough cord to move from one room to another in my small space and, most importantly, fits on a hook in my cramped broom closet.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this vacuum for smaller jobs, the foyer, the kitchen and bathrooms.

we were able to get four canisters full of dog hair just from two smaller sized rooms.
from www.amazon.com
but what i had not read prior to purchasing were the reviews that talked about the 'ratcheting' sound when trying to vacuum smaller area rugs.
from www.amazon.com
it is also really easy to carry it around and to store it- it is a lot smaller than my previous vacuums.
from www.amazon.com
i'm not sure how often i'll use all of the attachments...so far i've tried the smaller ones that attach to the base of the vacuum itself, and they were both very effective.
from www.amazon.com
i have not had a problem with any of them -i used the small spaces attachment with the spinning brush to clean the stairs and the brush never stopped turning (as was noted in other reviews) i also

Dyson DC21 Bagless Canister Cyclonic

the only cons for this model are- how heavy it is, but i just take the vacuum head off and hold it in my other hand when going upstairs and there is no separate, smaller turbo brush for vacuuming
from www.walmart.com
i figure if it helped his allergy it has to be good for my asthma/allergies.i purchased the little turbo head for doing small spaces/steps and if you buy the canister, it's imperative you get this

from www.amazon.com
the only negatives are that the handle doesnt lock very well once extended and keeps sliding in, and although the size looks manageable for a small apartment and small person it is relatively heavy

iRobot Roomba Red 4100 Bagless Robotic

Best Price: $250.00

from EasE from Sunnyvale, CA, www.circuitcity.com
it was awesome.the only problem i've had with it is that if it gets into a small space about the same size as it's footprint it has a hard time getting out.but it will just shutdown and not run down
from shopping.msn.com
whatever algorithm is being used to determine the area isn't working well in my house, causing roomba to run much too long in smaller rooms, wasting the precious battery time.
from Doug from NJ, www.circuitcity.com
so then i decided to take the roomba to a small room that actually needed to be vacuumed.
from www.amazon.com
it wasn't long before i considered buying a separate, smaller vacuum just for the upstairs.
from www.amazon.com
in my situation, the roomba can barely vacuum a relatively small room before needing some quality time with an outlet.
