    Shark Extra Parts

    Those are weights they go in towards the front of the nozzle. Without them your powerhead won't dig into the carpet nearly as much

    Singer Lazer Storm

    oh definitely. Just about everything they compared it to is better....except for that stick shark thing. This was also sold under "Wind Storm"

    Singer Lazer Storm

    I have never seen it under that name until now. Oreck seems to have re-used the design for a cordless vacuum, but unlike the corded models the head on those is electric vs the exhaust air turbine on these.

    Singer Lazer Storm

    Does anyone else remember these? I remember seeing the ad on TV YEARS ago and them doing a bunch of absurd students, like a ping pong ball in a clear PVC tube vs a Kirby G3. Pulling a Fridge with something that resembled dryer hose, and lifting a large fridge/freezer with a suction cup. I was...

    H20 Pro Vacuum

    Hmm...I'm not seeing a canister machine called an H20 pro, this doesn't mean it doesn't exist of course it may just be obscure. I do recall the H20 vac and the H20 vac turbo. They were both water filtration canisters which were a baffle type system. I had one of the turbos back in my late teen...

    Buying powernozzle in Europe

    Hmm...I've had a youtube commenter who's name escapes me at the moment say that where he was from Lindhaus was sold almost exclusively by janitorial supply companies. Perhaps see if you can find a local-ish dealer for them or reach out to Lindhaus Directly to see if they can point in you the...

    Buying powernozzle in Europe

    It perplexes me that major power nozzle makers like Wessel Werk, Sebo and Lindhaus are all European companies and yet they're seemingly difficult to find in Europe. One thing though. I may be incorrect here but the QDC lindhaus nozzles i've seen use a wand that have a hole vs a pin in it. Is...

    Compact model C2

    Oh you're correct it was just a model 1. You bought one off me not too long ago now. I did find it too tight with that bag and a disposable and had to bend the latch batch into place afterwards.

    Compact model C2

    Had a similar issue with the C1 I had. There just isn't enough clearance on the lid for both the cloth and disposable bag, force them into place and you risk bending the latch.

    Kirby Hose Conundrum

    There's definitely something off about that hose but i can't tell exactly where the problems begin. That attachment end and the cuff it attaches to are definitely not OEM, it bears a strong resemblance to an oreck buster B hose. Now the part i'm confused about is the hose itself. It's lacking...

    Measuring CFM?

    It stands up logically. I spoke to our HVAC guy who, while he told me the calculation of CFM is something he's not super comfortable with, to think of it like a funnel and hose filled with water. The hose is going to be the point with the most resistance but when they're working in a system the...
