Customer Reviews of Westinghouse WST1500 Wired Special Edition Upright Vacuum
Customer Rating:   Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY! Comment: I buy a lot of stuff online, including from Amazon. I rarely have product complaints but this vacuum qualifies as the biggest waste of $$ I can imagine. There's a reason why it's discontinued. I'm a "by-the-directions" guy. We have no pets and certainly nothing qualifying as "heavy" cleaning. This thing clogs LITERALLY with every 30 minutes of use. All openings need to be cleaned out, including a little trap door that spills dust and dirt everywhere when opened. The handle extension is useless - very little suction. It's the pits and it goes to Goodwill ASASP. Next vacuum will be a Dyson and we'll be done with it. Customer Rating: Summary: Poor customer support Comment: When I first bought this vacuum I thought I had a good product. Then the belt broke and I found I had to send off for a new belt. Parts are not carried in the stores. Then after waiting a month for the new belt to arrive, I had to call their customer support repeatedly to ever get the darn thing delivered. Then they delivered one belt instead of the two I had ordered and paid for. A week later one of the wheels fell off the vacuum cleaner. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a Hoover. Customer Rating: Summary: Powerful yet heavy Comment: This vac replaces my worn out Hoover upright. This product truly has excellent suction power to pick up the dirt/dander/sand/pet hair deep in the carpet fibers. The first time I used it I couldn't believe the amount of dust and pet hair my old vac didn't pick up. The bagless container allows you to see the results and you'll definitely save $ not having to buy replacement bags. Also, the debris container is larger than many other models/brands. The cons of this vac are that it is very heavy , the electric cord isn't long enough nor is the extension hose with attachments. Aside from the cons this product is well made and will be reliable for many years.***UPDATE***June 17,2004---so much for reliability! While vacuuming my average sized living room the darn thing overheated and shut-down. It started back up after a few hours:( final update : Vac passed away June '07. Who cares since the vac isn't available on Amazon anymore. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Good Vacuum Comment: This is the first vacuum that I have ever bought and it did an amazing job. I have to birds that molt their feathers at an amazing rate. They also throw seed everywhere. This vacuum got up every feather and every little piece of seed that I could see. I recommend this vacuum to anyone with pets, or if you just a vacumm that will pick up stuff in the carpet. The only thing I do not like about it is how the attachment hose doesn't have a good reach for place above three to four feet. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for the floor for people with allergies Comment: I got this vacuum for $108 (which includes tax and shipping), and I am quite pleased for what I got for the prince. What I needed was a vacuum that can fit my student budget and that can clean the carpeting well and yet protect me from allergens in the dust. This machine's power and its hypoallergenic filter seem to be doing the job. I find it easy to navigate and clean. My major disappointment is with the hose for the peripheral brushes. It is very, hmm... suspicious... It is very short and made of poor material; together these two things mean that it will get destroyed easily and also that it is difficult to use. Since I probably wasn't going to use it anyway, and since a lot of vacuums of this kind and at this price don't even have a hose or a hypoallergenic filter, I say that I am quite pleased overall. Finally, I don't think the description says that the vacuum has a nifty-looking light source in the front, which makes cleaning more entertaining :) More Reviews Powerful 12-amp two stage motor long life hepa filter-lasts 7 years! Bagless-no bags to buy! Handle instantly converts for above-floor-cleaning! 
Choosing Appliance -> Dishwasher Choose a dishwasher with sturdy compression springs in the door. Also look for tough, lightweight nylon or graphite racks with cushioned tips that protect glassware and cookware. Weimer recommends choosing a model with a rack design that provides the largest, most flexible interior space and is configured for your belongings, including odd-shaped pieces. Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer. Westinghouse WST1500 Wired Special Edition Upright Vacuum
Useful info -> Dishwashers Energy efficiency is of paramount importance, not only to save money on electricity bills but also to help reduce power station emissions that contribute to global warming. Look for brands with low energy consumption (energy efficiency ratings will be displayed in the showroom). Levels are now as low as 1.3kW/hr on some slimline models largely because of reduced water consumption. A delay timer can help take advantage of cheap overnight electricity. |
