Any advice on a handheld vacuum preferably cordless under ? I have been looking through Amazon and am quite frankly overwhelmed with all the reviews. Just when I think I have found one I like I find a bad review on it that I consider to be incompatible with my needs.
So any advice?
Thanks in advance!
NB&B question…
What are your little ones doing right now?
My son is sleeping because it is 3am here. I can’t sleep until I find a vacuum and have been searching for over an hour… Grrrr!!
Something under
-Thanks!
hi all

NASA has done so much for America..sure it "wastes" a half percent of our total budget especially when it "wasted" funds
I found this somewhere)
Since 1976, about 1,400 documented NASA inventions have benefited U.S. industry, improved the quality of life and created jobs for Americans. The Apollo program has helped change the way of life in America, especially in health care. Here are some of the inventions contributed by the Apollo program.
Kidney dialysis machines were developed as a result of a NASA developed chemical process that could remove toxic waste from used dialysis fluid.
As a medical CAT scanner searches the human body for tumors or other abnormalities, the industrial version, or advanced computed tomography inspection system, finds imperfections in aerospace structures and components, such as castings, rocket motors and nozzles.
A cardiovascular conditioner developed for astronauts in space led to the development of a physical therapy and athletic development machine used by football teams, sports clinics and medical rehabilitation centers.
A hospital food service system employs a cook/chill concept for serving food. The system allows staff to prepare food well in advance, maintain heat, visual appeal and nutritional value while reducing operating costs.
Athletic shoe design and manufacture also benefited from Apollo. Space suit technology is incorporated into a shoe’s external shell. A stress free "blow molding" process adapted from NASA space suit design is also used in the shoe’s manufacture.
Freeze-dried food solved the problem of what to feed an astronaut on the long-duration Apollo missions.
Insulation barriers made of aluminum foil laid over a core of propylene or mylar, which protected astronauts and their spacecraft’s delicate instruments from radiation, is used to protect cars and trucks and dampen engine and exhaust noise.
Water purification technology used on the Apollo spacecraft is now employed in several spinoff applications to kill bacteria, viruses and algae in community water supply systems and cooling towers. Filters mounted on faucets can reduce lead in water supplies.
Process for bonding dry lubricant to space metals led to the development of surface enhancement coatings, which are used in applications from pizza making to laser manufacture. Each coating is designed to protect specific metal group or group of metals to solve problems encountered under operating conditions.
Digital signal-processing techniques, originally developed to enhance pictures of the Moon for the Apollo Program, are an indispensable part of Computer-Aided Tomography (CAT) scan & Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies used today worldwide.
Vacuum metallizing techniques led to an extensive line of commercial products, from insulated outer garments to packaging for foods & from reflective blankets to photographic reflectors.
Cordless power tools & appliances are one of the most successful commercial spin-offs of space-based technology.
Cool suits, which kept Apollo astronauts comfortable during moon walks, are today worn by race car drivers, hazardous area workers, & people with specific health problems.
A hollow retroreflector, a mirror-like instrument that reflects light & other radiation back to the source, is used as a sensor to detect the presence of hazardous gases in oil development, chemical plants, waste storage sites & locations where gases could be released into the environment.
TV Satellite Dish
NASA developed ways to correct errors in the signals coming from the spacecraft. This technology is used to reduce noise (that is, messed up picture or sound) in TV signals coming from satellites.
Medical Imaging
NASA developed ways to process signals from spacecraft to produce clearer images. (See more on digital information and how spacecraft send images from space.) This technology also makes possible these photo-like images of our insides.
Vision Screening System
Uses techniques developed for processing space pictures to examine eyes of children and find out quickly if they have any vision problems. The child doesn’t have to say a word!
Ear Thermometer
Instead of measuring temperature using a column of mercury (which expands as it heats up), this thermometer has a lens like a camera and detects infrared energy, which we feel as heat. The warmer something is (like your body), the more infrared energy it puts out. This technology was originally developed to detect the birth of stars.
Fire Fighter Equipment
Fire fighters wear suits made of fire resistant fabric developed for use in space suits.
Smoke Detector
First used in the Earth orbiting space station called Skylab (launched back in 1973) to help detect any toxic vapors. Now used in most homes and other buildings to warn people of fire.
Sun Tiger Glasses
From research done on materials to protect the eyes of welders working on spacecraft, pro
also could NASA use some of the stimulus package money for fund it for a decade?
not saying who hates or who loves nasa
im saying why do people hate nasa…when nasa has done so much…
My sister who works in the health department got an job due to the digital imaging..aka CAT
I heard that CONGRESS wants to SAVE 100 MILLION ,by crashing the ISS into the ocean
half percent ,so %.5 of americas budget is going to nasa
when people say medical uses is a beter alternitive..NASA practical created CAT scaning which save lives.
kidney dialysis machines due to nasa’s efforts saves countless lives…yet
Government did a wonderful job of getting us to the moon in less than a decade of time trying. Now, thanks to the space race, we all benefit from the satellites that revolve around the earth. Add these to the list Kidney dialysis machines
Computer-Aided Tomography (CAT) scan Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Freeze-dried food Cordless power tools & appliances Disposable diapers Rotary blood pump Fiber optics Satellite dish Bar codes Ear thermometer Fire-resistant fabrics Smoke detector Thermal gloves and boots
Corningware. Tempur foam. Teflon–actually all kinds of plastics. New techniques for machining and casting exotic metals like magnesium and titanium. Carbon fiber epoxy, and all kinds of composite materials. CNC machining. Microwave communications. All kinds of telemetry. Huge improvements in photovoltaics (solar cells to generate electricty). Solid lubricants. Solid state memory (RAM and ROM). Lasers. Robotics. Enormous advances in astronomy because of the Hubbell Space telescope. Zero-G research. ‘Stealth’ (radar absorbing) materials and technology. Vacuum research. Satellite photography that helps with everything from land development to monitoring changes in global climate.
And for those phonies who are gonna say it was faked why dont you go ask mythbusters.

no i’m not sexist i post same thing about women <wink>
I just bought a Shark cordless vacuum. I charged it for 24 hours the first time like the directions said, and used it up (all the way)…now that I’m charging it again, how long should I leave it on for? There’s no "full charge" indication light on the charger.
Thanks!

ok im posting this again cuz i only got one answer last time.
I saw these vacuums at Walgreen’s the other day, i saw a commercial for something similar years ago, but i never could find one.. has anyone tried one of these? would it be worth the . Or does anyone maybe know a more known company that makes a similar type vacuum? it doesn’t have to be cordless, but its a nice plus. i just like the idea of being able to vacuum up around the house, and stop to clean the windows and stuff without fussing with a hose.
Heres a link.. http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100775&navAction=jump&navCount=1&id=prod3200280
I am unsure which product would be better and exactly what the difference are in plain terms now……….
Is one an older brand?
From my understanding there is a:
iRobot Roomba 4210 Bagless Robotic Vacuum
Product Information
Roomba Discovery is leading the way into the next generation of Roombas. With more advancements and improvements, Roomba Discovery features dirt detect, a self-charging Home Base(TM) and an Advanced Power System that makes this the finest robotic floorvac on the planet. And theres still a lot of planet left to clean.

Please look at the details for the information on the other one – I don’t believe there is any more irobots offered besides the scooba
The second one which I am aware of is:
iRobot Roomba Discovery SE Bagless Robotic Vacuum
Product Information
Roomba Discovery SE is the top of the line Roomba with some very down to earth features. Like Roomba Discovery, the SE features Dirt Detect, the self-charging Home Base(TM), an extra-large debris bin, the Roomba Remote, three cleaning modes plus a Charging Wall Mount for convenient storage. And, of course, the SE comes with the Advanced Power System that gives all Roombas the energy to get the job done.

If it helps I have hard floor with a few rugs.
I am unsure which product would be better and exactly what the difference are in plain terms now……….
Is one an older brand?
From my understanding there is a:
iRobot Roomba 4210 Bagless Robotic Vacuum
Product Information
Roomba Discovery is leading the way into the next generation of Roombas. With more advancements and improvements, Roomba Discovery features dirt detect, a self-charging Home Base(TM) and an Advanced Power System that makes this the finest robotic floorvac on the planet. And theres still a lot of planet left to clean.

I need a cordless vacuum that is able to pick up cat liter and bird seed hulls, any suggestions?
Can I use it on bare and carpeted floor?
I need a handheld cordless vacuum to get the dog hair out of my car. The normal vacuum is good at removing it but it’s a hassle to get it out every time so that’s why I need something handheld and cordless so I can keep on top of it. I would preferably like something specifically for getting the hairs out of my car. Any suggestions or recommendations for vacuums models and makes?
Should probably mention I am in the UK, so I would prefer a UK seller rather than having to pay for it to be shipped.
rofl! no.. i really don’t want to clean my entire car with sellotape and lint. I just need a decent handheld vacuum!
I have an ergorapido lightweight vacuum and the battery runs out in about ten minutes. Is this normal? One thing, When I first got it, I started using it regardless of the instructions manual. Then when it was running out of battery, I plugged it in and it started charging. This thing doesn’t have any indication when the battery is full so I read the instructions and it said to charge for 24 hours for the first charge. I did that and now the vacuum would only run for about ten minutes. I really want to find out because I love this cordless design. Thanks in advance!
