CFM Really Doesn't Mean Much We demo'd several vacuums on our new carpet because our Kenmore Progressive wasn't cutting it. The powerhead just sucked to the floor and left the frieze looking matted and unkept. No amount of messing with height settings did anything. Our Hoover Platinum Bagged...

Rob you actually read my mind. I was actually planning on swapping out the motor if it wasn't something innovative. I had a CXL at my old place for use in the basement and laundry area and donated it to a needy family after a house fire, so I'm familiar with most of the models from the CXL on...

We actually have 8 pugs, all special needs, who were rescued. Lol. Obama, Garfield, Fillmore, Grover, Quincy, Woodrow, Herbie, and Teddy. See the naming scheme? ;-) It makes for an interesting house full of canine clowns. Lol! We do A LOT of vacuuming, especially the week after baths and the...

So to finally end the debate and clear the confusion, does the newest TriStar CS, model A101S, have a brushless motor or not. There are multiple contradicting posts about what motor it uses and whether it is in fact brushless or not. Some have said it is a dual stage by Johnson Electric and...

Sorry guys, just realized it posted in the wrong forum... head over to the S-M for the post.

Hey guys(and gals), I have a really good deal that someone might be interested in. I came across this EH50100 at a vac shop that was going out of business. It was in a beat up box and had been used as a demo a few times. It has a few light scratches on it but I did a bulk buy and have tried it...

Any updates on the Maytag Tacony models? Pictures maybe? I was in our local Maytag shop yesterday and they seemed to have some info on the different models but did not have photos yet either. Curiously, they said they were not excited to have vacuums back again as they did not see them selling...

We have almost always had a water vac of some sort in the house(Big Power, Thermax, Rainbow, etc). The problem now that we have gotten rid of our carpets for the most part is that the getting the Rainbow out, setting it up, and vacuuming sans the power head just seems rather silly. The...

Hey gents and gentle ladies... it's been a while since I posted around here but I have certainly been lurking. Last month we decided that as a part of our remodel we would rid our house of 90 percent of our wall to wall carpet... **GASP** I know, but it was just too much work keeping up with...

I don't have photos yet, but apparently my brother came across an all original, still in box, Kirby with the date stamped on the box of 1952. I am sweating bullets to go see it and pick it up. For those of you that didn't see my original post, we are cleaning up my grandmother's estate and...

Thanks for the heads up!!! TYPO!!! I think around '98 or '97 was when her Tristar was giving her problems. I fixed it for her a few times, clogs, etc... but I think she got frustrated because I remember her buying a crappy upright at Wally World or something and then she got this brand new from...
