Advantages: Great Grip, Wear Long, Fast Cornering
Disadvantages: Slightly Bumpier Ride Than Road Tires

...Engineered for BMX tracks, trail riding, and (naturally) dirt jumping. Staggered, tightly-spaced center lugs for low rolling resistance provide high, controllable speeds. Linear, moto-style side lugs hook-up fast to accelerate out of the tightest berms. High durometer rubber compound rolls fast and wears long. There's three things I love about Maxxis tires. The unmatched cornering grip, unbelievable braking traction and...both of them! These tires ROCK! (But rip in sand, dirt, clay, mud and roots too.) I am really impressed with the MaxxDaddy tire. That is all I ride. The grip that these tires have on all surfaces is phenomenal. Dirt, sand, water, gravel, ice, road, you name it, it can grip it. The Maxxis MaxxDaddy tires have got to be the best tires for dirt. On the the ground and pavement they're a little bumpy, but it pays off in wet... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, ergonomic, button weight is just right
Disadvantages: Not very tolerant of dirt

...The Genius netmouse is an ideal alternative to Microsoft's Intellimouse range. Besides being much, much cheaper, the scroll button has advantages in online gaming over a wheel since it's much easier to press a button up or down than to mess about scrolling a wheel a certain amount of degrees. The mouse is very responsive, and the amount of pressure required to press the buttons is ideal. The only complaint I have is that the mouse is not very tolerant of dirt on the mouse ball - if there is a speck of dirt it will begin jumping and skipping. I have seen mice which handle small amounts of dirt much better.... Read review

Advantages: no dirty bags to fumble with
Disadvantages: none so far.

...I just recently bought a large red devil. A bagless dirt devil vacume cleaner to be precice. It is bagless, dustless, not so much noisless. The bagless dirt devil is 1500 wat powerfull devil. It speeds through your carpets and leves them clean and well brushed. The dirt box is as easy to remove as lifting your kettle. It has a nifty dust box which has a pop open filter for ewasy cleanning. It comes with free set of filters and is a jazzy bright red. The only problem I found is it needs more froquent emptying as it lifts dirt from deep down in your carpets. It supports on board tools and has a tough easy stretch hose for stairs. a slim crivice tool for all theose hard to reach places. A six filter system which means you get virtually no fine dust blowing around. at a cheep price of £69.99 a fraction of the cost of a dyson, but with all... Read review

Advantages: Really gets up dirt
Disadvantages: blockages, too heavy, annoying cord, fiddly bits

...I purchased a Dyson 04 in 2001 and like many, was amazed at the amount of dirt that it picked up from my carpet. But after a few weeks, I found that it didn't do this as impressively as it first had. But since there was nothing technically wrong with it, I just went ahead using it. AFter time, the motor started to cut out on me. I did the usual things the manual said to do - checked for blockages etc... Sometimes there were blockages but more and more it seemed to have problems handling the dirt. It was getting blocked over just dirt and short dog hair. I was getting really tired of taking the thing apart and trying to find if there was a blockage or not. This week I am pretty sure the motor completely died. I looked into the casing around the roller to find a huge wad of dirt that had clumped up behind the roller and mostly... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Poor pick up/bad cleaning

...When we decided to invest in a new vacuum, we forgot a very important adage. "You only get what you pay for". While there are exceptions to the rule, they did not apply to the Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner that we purchased last year. On perusing the many makes, models and styles available at Comet, we decided to opt for a cheap replacement for our upright hoover. The model we opted for matched our old style. An upright. Dirt devil make several versions of upright be we went with the Featherlite. Sheerly for the price as they were on special offer. The Featherlite is a good description for this hoover. It is extremely lightweight, making it easy to carry up the stairs. We all know how heavy they can be and when it is full of dirt and dust, it increases further.However, it is a very noisy hoover which negates any advantage made... Read review

Advantages: loans
Disadvantages: none

...Dyson hoovers are absolutly amazing. I couldn't believe it the first time I used mine the carpets were really clean deep down into the pile. The dirt that was sucked up into the collector, was astronomical and I'd only hoovered the day before with my conventinal hoover. I have also found that there is not as much dust in the air after hoovering,which helps people who suffer from asthma. The cylinder which holds the collected dirt is really easy to empty and clean. With a dyson bags are a thing of the past. I wouldn't think twice of recommending a dyson to anyone.... Read review

Advantages: Works well and handy
Disadvantages: Noisy and abttery doesn't last long

...Dirt Devil are a well known brand for manfacturing all types of hoovers and cleaning utilities. This was bought as i wanted something that would save the hassle of having to take out the main hoover when there was a spillage or some mess like crumbs falling onto the carpet. When you buy this you get: One Dirt Devil hand held vacuum cleaner, Rechargable Battery, AC mains adapter, instructions pamphlet To use it is easy,you simply switch it on using the power button and then it comes on and you simply point it whatever you need to vacum up. Like most of these handheld hoovers,they lose charge quite quickly so it is better to use the main hoover if you have a lot of stuff to hoover. I would also advise against overcharging it as that damages the battery life further and new batteries are a nightmare to get a hold of. After use... Read review

Advantages: great suction
Disadvantages: visible dirt

...I have just become the proud owner of an upright Dyson vacuum cleaner and I can only sing its praises.The suction power is unbelievable and I was ashamed when I looked at the container and saw how much dirt had been lifted. One of the best features is being able to hoover the stairs easily with the long extention cunningly concealed in the handle.It is so easy to use and empty no more bags. The only drawback is being able to see the dirt in the clear drum however this is very easy to empty.... Read review

Advantages: Easy, Handy, Tools
Disadvantages: Broke For Me Once :•(

...that you can use to do all sorts of a room. There are three tools that you can attach to it as well, and when the vacuum cleaner is upright, then you can use these tools on the suction to suck up dirt anywhere. Mine is purple and green as you can tell from my title. The vacuum cleaner has three visible tubes, and lots more inside and underneath that the dirt travels through, and where the suction goes through to suck up dirt. It runs very easily on the two wheels towards the back at the bottom of the machine, and the wheels are out of the way of everything else, so they won't get caught up or break. The design is very good, and it works very well. There is a see-through plastic box in the middle of the vacuum cleaner where all the dirt goes. Inside this box, there is something that spins at the top to get any dirt that is trapped on it to fall... Read review
