    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Samsung used to sell some really nice corded power nozzle canister vacuums in the US. I have a beautiful Quiet Storm but no parts for them anywhere and their weird female hose end and upside down wands ( button lock is on top with the button lock hole on the bottom ) means the attachments are...

    What is your favourite kirby

    That's how they work. Or not. My experience with them is that using the hose with a gen-you-whine Kirby brand horse hair dusting brush ( nice attachment ) the Kirby leaves a lot of dust behind. You get the easy to lift surface dust but there remains a fine layer seemingly stuck to the...

    updated kirby avalir platinum?

    EU noise regulations I strongly suspect drove this.

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    @Vacuum Facts said and know solid-state batteries are coming, and once Dyson starts using those, their future cordless will be transcended with vastly longer battery life to better cope with actual whole-home cleaning you demanded for, while keeping all the versatility. Well we all know if...

    Unknown old vacuum attachment

    I think you rub it and a genie comes out to grant you three wishes.

    Sebo Announced Price Increases

    Somehow Lindhaus sells boatloads of their commercial uprights in the US with their brand or often as house brands for other companies. I have been told that they are the number two seller of commercial uprights after Sebo. The Lindhaus dealer in Bakersfield only stocks commercial models and...

    Forgotten Hoover Products

    Says 120 V / 60 Hz on the tag. Definitely a North American model.

    Then when you have ones that leave an uncleaned strip in the middle of the cleaning path, forcing you to overlap by over 50%, Kirby : /

    Sebo Announced Price Increases

    Sebo's primary competition is Lindhaus. They are I believe the second largest seller in the US of commercial uprights with Sebo at number 1. The household side is small potatoes compared to the commercial / industrial / hospitality side of their business. Miele does not compete in that arena...

    Unknown old vacuum attachment

    The hose end reminds me of a Royal canister hose end.

    Sebo Announced Price Increases

    Even before Jupiter ( the orange colored gas giant ) became Pres and there were no tariffs on household appliances imported from the EU ( I spent hours scrutinizing the US tariff schedule to verify this to be true, no tariffs on imported vacuums ) Sebo and Miele were charging US customers two to...

    Best vacuum

    The Diamante and its commercial twin do not have a synthetic HEPA dust bag available from Lindhaus or the aftermarket. Paper only. You can, however, use a Kenmore Style O synthetic HEPA dust bag in them. I have a Windsor Sensor S12, 350 Mechanical, 370 Comfort and C3.1. I love the build...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    What a dope you are. Vorwerk is a premium German vacuum on the same level as Sebo, Miele and Lindhaus. They have been making vacuums continuously for over 100 years. They are nobodies knock off. Their vacuums and attachments are unlike those of any other manufacturer.

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    In the US power nozzle canister vacs and premium uprights pull 1440 watts. 12 amps at 120 volts. Not the 900 watts European vacuums are restricted to. I'm not aware of any cordless vacuum that has a 1440 watt battery and the battery powered vacuums sold in the US run out of juice after 15-30...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Their Polsterboy 420 and their sliding sleeve dusting brush are two of the very best attachments in the whole universe of vacuums. Those two things alone out weigh all the weird quirks of the Tiger 260.
