    Central vacuum recommendations.

    Central vacuums are NOTHING more than an oxymoron. Unless you live in a large residence, central vacuums are OVERPRICED, OVERRATED, and generally INEFFICIENT home cleaning investments that only cater to people who live in oversized McMansions that enjoy carrying 40 ft hoses down the stairs...

    Neato Robotics is being shut down after 18 years

    I don't like robot vacuums in my opinion. They don't deep clean carpets that well, they have a tiny dustbin, and worst of all, they have shitty mapping, meaning that they get stuck on cords, spread dog shit every wear, and have uneven cleaning paths. Robot vacuums are only meant for quick...

    I'm surprised California hasn't outlawed central vacuum systems yet

    In California, politicians are banning electric cars, gas appliances, and gas mowers for the next 10 years because of "climate change", due to greenhouse gasses causing air pollution. I'm surprised Gavin Newsom hasn't banned central vacuums because they vent dirty air into the atmosphere. Now if...

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    There are tons of things wrong with the Rainbow SRX that everyone has mentioned. Such as the EMBARASSING performance, the HORRENDOUS build quality, the ABSOLUTELY GODAWFUL power nozzle, SHITTY tools, and the OUTRAGEOUS price tag of $6,000!! What can you thing of another problem of the SRX?

    If you owned Hoover, what changes would you make?

    I'd make a Hoover central vacuum with two 8.4 inch motors that are either in-series or parallel, that's also powder-coated and made in the USA with quality 20 gauge steel parts like the MD central vacuums, a utility inlet, a retractable hose system, multiple choices of powerheads either...

    New Rbow SRX power nozzle

    The SRX is truly an ABYSMAL machine. It has no suction and airflow, the OG powerhead was absolutely HORRIBLE, and it’s sold for 6,000 USD. NOT COOL RAINBOW!!!! At least Rainbow went back to the E2 style powerhead, but it shows how utterly incompetent Rainbow really is! Rainbow literally makes...

    Forgotten Central Vacuum Accessories

    What central vacuum accessory do you think has been lost to time? The VacnSeal was an accessory that was supposed to be for sealing food in a plastic bag but has been LONG discontinued more than 10 years ago, due to the popularity of ZipLock bags. There are NO videos of the VacnSeal existing...

    Forgotten Dirt Devil/Royal Products

    The Dirt Devil Dust Devil is probably the rarest Dirt Devil in my opinion. The only evidence of its existence is from a commercial from 1995. It was meant to compete with the Dustbuster hand vacs. Most of them have been thrown out due to the batteries aging, like all early cordless vacuums.

    Bissell Cordless Multi-Surface Wet Dry Vacuum Recall

    No surprise. This isn't the first time that Bissell had to recall their vacuums to to fire hazards, way back in 2000, Bissell had to recall their now-forgotten PureAir vacuums due to faulty cords.

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    An example of how the mighty have fallen. Tacony used to make excellent vacuum cleaners like the Riccar 8850, 8955, R20 Vibrance, Simplicity Freedom, Riccar Pristine etc. Nowadays, they make HORRIBLE Chinese-made vacuums that are POORLY-MADE, OVERPRICED, POORLY-DESIGNED, and POORLY-PERFORMING...

    Opinions on the new RICCAR R25 D and 25p?!

    Tacony is basically the new Dirt Devil in terms of awfulness.

    What is the worst-performing vacuum cleaner that you've ever used?

    The worst-performing vacuum that I've ever used was the Oreck XL. It's carpet cleaning ability was so ATROCIOUS that it would grind dirt into the carpet. I had medium-pile plush carpeting, and that thing could NEVER get out of its own way. We had a central vacuum system that would clean circles...

    What is the worst vacuum from the past 20-ish years?

    The Rainbow SRX is probably one of the WORST water filtration vacuums ever made. The suction/airflow specs are ABYSMAL, it gets even worse when it’s on carpet, the performance drops to NOTHING. So much for $3,200. The build quality is HORRIBLE, the tools are USELESS, and it’s overly expensive...

    The Rainbow SRX, thank you ElectroluxxxMike!

    What crack was Rexair smoking when they designed this machine? Its cleaning ability is WORSE than that of an Oreck XL Classic for $3,200! And it's also been recalled for having a HORRIBLE circuit board that can catch fire. What a terrible machine, especially since it was sold for $3,200. The...
