Safety Alert: Problems with some models of the Dirt Devil Kone The Roomba 560, $350, roved on its own for 35 to 45 minutes before returning to its charger, but it was among the worst in Consumer Reports’ tests at cleaning edges and corners, and it sometimes roved beyond its electronic borders. But the clip that holds it arrived broken on two models and cracked on a third during testing.Ĭonsumer Reports also found a robot that rebels.
Kenmore’s Premalite upright, $400, has a handle that detaches and doubles as a tool wand. Tests also revealed hybrids that disappointed. While the Bissel Pet Hair Eraser upright, $150, delivers fine pet-hair pickup, it was less impressive at other tasks. The Dyson DC24 upright, $400, is a smaller update of the swiveling-ball design that provides easy maneuvering, but Consumer Reports tests showed carpet cleaning mediocre and airflow for tools meager. Months of Consumer Reports vacuum tests on carpets and bare floors found that design often trumps performance. But Consumer Reports’ tests of 81 models sucked the air out of some of those promises. Still, other models are aimed specifically at bare floors or pet hair. YONKERS, NY - In its latest report on vacuum cleaners, Consumer Reports found that while some upright and canister brands are touting easier handling and versatility, some robotic vacs promise to do all the cleaning for you.
