    Working vacuum test gauge explained.

    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...

    Looking for a new upright vacuum

    Thanks again to everyone for the feedback and suggestions. Lots of good suggestions to review. Thankfully my old vacuum still works so though it's a major chore to use at times it does the job and gives me time to research and watch for any good deals.
