Bagless Thanks for the info. I did get a chance to see that some time ago and like you everything I've seen on it had very poor reviews so I really wasn't interested going that route. I do think that it probably would perform very well if it had a dirty bag system on it. I have a friend of...

General Question Has anyone on this forum ever went in reverse? meaning that you converted a newer Kirby to a dirty bag set up? I've got a G3 not in use and being as the G3 and the sentria are pretty close in performance I think I'm going to give it a shot anybody have any suggestions what...

Lastly, as my wife does most of the vacuuming the Dyson is the weapon of choice. However I do ones or twice a month use my 505 or my 512 but I enjoy the classic III best. I refer to it as my house Harley.

6.5 hp Bill,also in response to your statement on the Rigid shop vac 100% correct. The manufacturer will use any number they think makes them look one up on the others after the same market. Prime example is Dyson's suction statement. Great if you are drawing blood from a steer but makes a...

Loads Bill, when I say load I'm not referring to "the machine needs to be sitting over a pile of dirt" I'm simply stating that it needs to be in the exact configuration as it will hit the floor in which is with all bags attached and all hatches closed. Hutch

Why dyson Sptyks, I'm glad you asked the reason being is as for most people I prefer the convenience of not having to deal with a bag. I'm also glad you brought up the point that he stated that he does not use bags when he's doing his test I can guarantee you this, it will definitely skew the...

efficiency tests I'm new to the Forum and was just reading your subject material and found it interesting. Just to give you a bit of my background I'm a retired Soldier, I'm also retired off of the railroad as an engineer and I'm currently working building HVAC systems. It appears in the post...
