CNET reviewed the Bissell Bolt Ion Stick Vac. It has got to be the WORST review I've ever seen. They make the Bissell out be the the worst vacuum they ever tested. In reality it's a great little machine.
It was designed for small messes, yet they're trying to pick up an entire box of fruit loops. Plus none of them can pull out the hand vac? I tried this at Bed Bath and Beyond, and it was not that hard to pull out. Also at the end they say to get the Hoover Linx instead... But the picture they have is of the Hoover Air Cordless... I think CNET should stick to reviewing cell phones and TV's, I find all of their vacuum reviews to be poorly done. CLICK HERE TO GO TO HVRVACLVR's LINK | ||

I agree. CNET and I have already "had words" over a blog post where their testing procedure wasn't exactly accurate. The response that came back was that it was the information they "got given from the tester," which is a lot of old hoof to me. Surely if you are going to report on something you should investigate yourself rather than rely on a team of testers who haven't really tested appliances properly.

I completely agree, while I don't know about the bolt, I find my dirt devil lift-and-go just fine. Not nearly as bad as the made it out to be. Scott | ||

I love how their favorite vacuum is the Oreck Touch. Oreck quit making those, and I thought they were just okay, not better than the Shark and Hoover like they thought. They also really love Dysons. Again, Dysons aren't bad, but I have two of them and they aren't as good as CNET says.
I couldn't help but hit the unsubscribe button after seeing the Bissell Bolt review. | ||

Yes... CR is far and away a better testing set up. I still don't think they should ever be trusted after their history of at least two rigged tests that I know of. | ||

I've always relied upon CNET for being more gadget based like electronics, computers and where news of new releases are concerned. I think their product reviews are just a part of the service they provide.
CR on the other hand offer far more actual test data on a wider pool of things even as far as testing baby chairs and affiliated stuff for parents as well as general home lifestyle products. | ||

I like these little Suzukis. In India they are much larger with a LWB model and are very reliable. In the UK I adore the little Jimny model - so perfectly made for running around Scotland especially if you get stuck in a high mountain road. They were never built for speed as far as I know; also popular in European sunny holiday resorts.

To sum all this up----the best testing is that YOU do yourself!!See if you can try the item out first before buying it.You can't always go by what someone else says no matter who they are. | ||
