Wanted to start a thread that probably has been posted before but wanted to see what are the main vacuums you have used in your lifetime and what did you think of them.
Here’s a brief rundown on what I have used throughout my lifetime - I may be off on some details or a bit hazy but here it...
I was looking forward to a good debate about different vacuum testing methodologies and their pros and cons. I seen many differences of opinions/tests on what vacuum cleaners do the best work and would be nice to learn more about why testers arrive at their conclusions. Hopefully either this...
Family had a rainbow back in the 1980s - seemed a decent vacuum just remember to empty the water every time after use and follow the usual maintenance cycle.
After vacuuming yesterday and frustrated by maneuvering the big bulky vac around (tools still work good though) I decided to take the plunge and try the Zero G vac with it's 30 day return period.
Here is a short list of vacuums I have used routinely in my life

Before I go into my findings I wanted to thank everyone for their input so far.
I stopped at 3 vacuum shops today and looked at more than a few machines, here are my thoughts -
Initial thought I know some laud the ability to auto select height but I like the auto height adjustment feature some...
Just watched the Zero-G review done by a fellow forum member, I usually don't even look at canister vacs (closest I used is a rainbow years ago) but this Vac intrigues me since it looks somewhat easy to follow the user.
Thank you both I may visit my local vac shops tomorrow. I know the Sharks are known to break down and they aren't keen on parts/fixing (shame) but they are easy to use machines. I actually had the power nozzle die on my old one, bought the microswitch and was already to solder it in when Shark...
I am looking for a new upright bagged/bagless vacuum cleaner, located in the USA. I have a Kenmore progressive with direct drive that though it still works well is rather large and bulky to move around my house. I had been previously using a Shark rotator nv501 that though the tools weren't...
