    What's everyone's opinion on Orecks?

    Human, and others, I think I mentioned in another thread an improvement for the Oreck BB. I ran a strip of thin adhesive foam around the perimeter of the bag rest (ledge) and increased the suction quite a bit. Did the same thing to my GE Mv1 & 2's. Made a big difference.

    Westinghouse Canister Vacuum Cleaner

    Spray, it was a "juggling act" preparing the surface, hanging it up outside under ideal temperature and humidity. Glad you like it.

    Westinghouse Canister Vacuum Cleaner

    Yes, I painted the hose with a better matching color. I just noticed that the furniture guard is missing. I must have mixed something up.

    Hoover Quik Broom

    Did... anyone who owns one of these vacuums ever experience the exhaust blowing away the debris?

    Hoover Quik Broom

    I finally used mine and I was disappointed because the exhaust began pushing the fur away before I could vacuum it up. Any ideas or tips? I considered building a diverter or baffle to aim the exhaust away.

    Synthetic bags

    Found one! In the form of a packet of Nutone Central Air bags. They are pricey but do the job. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Synthetic bags

    Understood. I am thinking about the central AC bags. I noticed they are pricier. I will respond later with the results. Thanks, and I appreciate your suggestion. I also welcome any other suggestions from the membership.
