I just got my DC59 Motorhead at Best Buy with $110 off on sale. I broke in the battery by running it on high the first 4-5 cycles and letting it die before charging again. It now runs longer for me, but as others have said, 25-30mins max on high (on a good day). I actually found the unit SO...

So to update this old thread... Upon my second use of the Immaculate, the unit died completely. I bring it in to get looked at and my Riccar guy says the circuit board blew completely. He had to replace the whole circuit board with a new one. So I got that going for me with an $1,100 vacuum...

I'm with Marcus on this one. My 10yr old DC14 All Floors still has better suction and agitation than a Shark NV22 I picked up a few years ago and did not care as much for. The newer Shark professional series are light years better than older models for sure, but I would still trust Dyson...

Don't know if this link will work, but it shows the auto-open feature of the canister and what I meant by only opening 75% and still being able to open further manually. http://https//www.dropbox.com/s/bvwz7k730lw2q4a/2014-11-03%2020.28.54.mov?dl=0

Here you go L.P. Full size tools. The tools on the Miele, while nice, are smaller.

L.P. They store under the lid. They are larger than the Miele attachments, and I like the smooth opening of the lid compared to the Miele. It auto-opens when you press the button. It will open even further manually once you do so. Not sure why it doesn't open fully upon press, but it's not a...

So I'm loving the Immaculate. The machine out of the box as opposed to a demo unit feels like a BEAST. I also love how the bags have the rubber seal akin to the Lux Guardian Platinum bags for maximum dust retention, where the bag affixes to the bypass. I did not know the bags had that similar...

Buying used One thing I actually prefer in the Sirena is the larger (and blue colored) water reservoir. Seems like a huge plus. The Rainbow seems to win in most direct comparisons even if ever so slightly. Be it tools (barely), hoses (length and no need to attach plug), number of...

So after the HUGE help I received here leading me to my first TOL vacuum purchase of a new Riccar Immaculate, I definitely want to expand on the collection. I now want a TOL water-based machine and was wondering what the pros and cons for each of these machines was. I have asthma and my entire...

Thanks Tom and countryguy. No more wavering. I just picked up the Immaculate. Happy camper here. Feels like Christmas early! :-)

Dan, Tom or anyone who owns a Lux Guardian Platinum, Do you have any issues with bag leakage in the Lux Guardian Platinum bags? Or any other issues at all? I read numerous people saying their bags leak, that there's no auto shutoff once bag is full (just an led indicator), and that the Legacy...

Great info Durango. I'm sticking with the Immaculate. The dealer just agreed to lower the price from $1,329 with no tax, to $1,050 with no tax and a free box of bags when I told him I was offered a lower price elsewhere. A HUGE thank you to funeraldirector for helping me out there! Roughly...

Maytag M1200 That machine looks incredible for that pricepoint! I was Just offered a new current red Radiance (not the new pearl white/blue model coming out) for $599. Do you know what is in the soon-to-be-released white Radiance that the current model doesn't have? Between that red Radiance...

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what a fair deal on a Sirena would be if retail is $899? I still want to be fair to dealer, but don't want to pay full retail price either. Thanks in advance! -Dan

Thanks Dan! -Dan (also 😬)
