Months of rigorous testing on vacuums at all price&nbsp; levels also showed that some new names and designs didn&#8217;t cut it in&nbsp; Consumer Reports&#8217; evaluations.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some uprights, including models from Bissell, Dirt Devil, Dyson,&nbsp; Electrolux, and Oreck, claim to filter allergens. Dyson touts an Asthma&nbsp; Friendly seal from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America certifying&nbsp; its uprights are &#8220;proven more suitable for people with asthma and related&nbsp; allergic sensitivities,&#8221; and many of its models carry a Seal of Approval&nbsp; from the British Allergy Foundation for products that &#8220;restrict or remove&nbsp; allergens from the environment of allergy sufferers.&#8221; Vacuums that made&nbsp; those claims did, indeed, pick up allergen-sized particles in Consumer&nbsp; Reports&#8217; tests. But so should others, since pollen, mold spores, and other&nbsp; typical allergens are large enough to fall to the floor, where they&#8217;re easy&nbsp; to capture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CR also found two models that quit &#8212; the Electrolux and the Eureka&nbsp; Optima. The Electrolux suggests using its Twin Clean canister&#8217;s &#8220;powerful&nbsp; brushroll&#8221; for deep-cleaning, which this model did well in the carpet&nbsp; tests. But the tough pet-hair test stopped it cold. The latest Eureka&nbsp; Optima was better than earlier versions at capturing larger particles. But&nbsp; it scored a &#8220;Poor&#8221; in the emissions tests. Two samples temporarily shut&nbsp; down after those tests triggered their thermal-overload protection.<\/p>\n<p>Two less-familiar brands also proved disappointing. Koblenz markets its&nbsp; U-610-ZN ($440), upright for commercial use, yet it delivered&nbsp; less-than-stellar cleaning, won&#8217;t accept tools, and was noisy enough to&nbsp; require hearing protection. Metropolitan&#8217;s ADM-4PNHSF ($600), canister&nbsp; proved fine on carpets and floors, but only &#8220;Fair&#8221; in our hose-airflow&nbsp; tests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With all the promises, it&#8217;s easy to get confused when shopping,&nbsp; especially if you have asthma or allergy concerns. But at roughly 100 times&nbsp; larger than the smallest specs we measure, allergen particles should be&nbsp; easy game for practically any vacuum. And models that scored at least Very&nbsp; Good in our dust-emissions tests will nab the bad stuff,&#8221; said Bob&nbsp; Markovich, Home &#038; Yard editor at Consumer Reports. &#8220;Our long list of Quick&nbsp; Picks and CR Best Buys includes vacuums that cost as little as $60 and&nbsp; proved capable at a variety of cleaning tasks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The vacuum story is in the October issue of Consumer Reports which goes&nbsp; on sale at newsstands and everywhere on September 4. The report can also be&nbsp; found online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ConsumerReports.org\">http:\/\/www.ConsumerReports.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stylish Doesn&#8217;t Always Mean Functional &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consumer Reports found two less than stellar designs during testing.&nbsp; Electrolux&#8217;s Intensity EL5020A folds into the most compact upright CR has&nbsp; tested. But pushing and pulling it wasn&#8217;t easy. Hoover&#8217;s Constellation&nbsp; S3345 canister floats on a cushion of air. While relatively easy to handle,&nbsp; it lacks a motorized brush and was subpar on carpets and pet hair.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CR&#8217;s latest findings also identify which vacs work best for different&nbsp; needs, whether it&#8217;s an upright vacuum for everyday cleaning, one that&nbsp; weighs or costs less, or a canister vac that cleans the carpets as well as&nbsp; the floors. CR Quick Picks include four CR Best Buys. Among upright&nbsp; vacuums, the top-scoring Kenmore (Sears) Progressive with direct drive&nbsp; 35922 ($300), offers the best blend of performance and features, while the&nbsp; Eureka Boss Smart Vac Ultra 4870 ($150), performed nearly as well for less.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can also get fine performance and less weight for less money. CR&nbsp; picked three Hoover uprights that cost even less and weigh well under 20&nbsp; pounds. The Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 ($60) &#8212; a CR Best Buy &#8212; and&nbsp; the Hoover WindTunnel Supreme U5458-900 ($130), delivered superb carpet&nbsp; cleaning. Choose the capable Hoover EmPower U5262-910 ($100), if you prefer&nbsp; a bagless vacuum and don&#8217;t mind the added dust when emptying a bagless&nbsp; vac&#8217;s bin.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Canisters tend to cost more than uprights, but that doesn&#8217;t mean&nbsp; consumers have to spend top dollar for top performance. The Kenmore (Sears)&nbsp; Progressive 27514 ($300) &#8212; also a CR Best Buy &#8212; performed similarly to&nbsp; its top-rated brandmate for far less. Choose the Hoover WindTunnel Bagless&nbsp; S3765-040 ($180), if an even lower price outranks handling and pet-hair&nbsp; pickup. Also consider the pricier Electrolux Oxygen Ultra EL 7020A ($500),&nbsp; for its superb carpet cleaning and Electrolux Oxygen EL6988A ($400), for&nbsp; its fine handling and superb pet-hair performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Choose&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CR found that most vacuums were far from perfect when it comes to&nbsp; handling. Look for models that did well at the cleaning you care about&nbsp; most. Then keep these tips in mind:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Choose the right kind. Most vacuums do well on bare floors. Uprights&nbsp; tend to do best on carpets. But you may prefer a canister&#8217;s easier pushing&nbsp; and pulling, since you move mostly the hose and powerhead. Canister vacs&nbsp; are also easier to use on stairs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Check its features. A brush on\/off switch helps prevent scattering&nbsp; dirt on bare floors. Manual pile-height adjustment lets you match the&nbsp; vacuum&#8217;s height more precisely to carpets; while suction control lets you&nbsp; reduce airflow through the hose when cleaning curtains and upholstery.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Think twice about bagless vacs. Our Ratings include top-performing&nbsp; bagless models. But you&#8217;ll probably prefer a bag if you have allergy&nbsp; concerns, since emptying a bagless vacuum&#8217;s bin is a frequent and dusty&nbsp; task. And while HEPA bags and filters can provide added filtration, they&nbsp; don&#8217;t guarantee that the vacuum they&#8217;re in won&#8217;t spew dust. We test all&nbsp; models with their standard bag or filter. Vacs that did well should do well&nbsp; in your home if you use the bag and filter types they came with.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/consumer-reports-finds-vacuums-claims-to-remove-allergens-mean-less-than-they-suggest-58633922.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YONKERS, N.Y., Aug. 30 \/PRNewswire-USNewswire\/ &#8212; While vacuum&nbsp; marketers continue to push allergen relief along with the usual cleaning,&nbsp; results from a new Consumer Reports test show that those promises mean less&nbsp; than they suggest.
