Howdy! I haven't posted on here in forever, but I still lurk! But I just had to post this. Today I got a NIB Hoover Windtunnel 2 Extra Reach, for only $45! The serial number dates it to May 2006. How can a vacuum that is so terrible be amazing at the same time? I know these are likely one of the...

I got one of these, too, last year. It has the same issue. I tried to get a partial refund, and the seller refused and told me to send it back (I would've had to pay $65 for the return shipping), and he would send me a different one. I didn't do that, and I'm glad I didn't because it would...

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted on here. I just got a Fantom Cyclone XT and it works great except the brush cuts out then comes back on. I replaced the belt, but it is still doing it. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it?

This is covered by the warranty. My Aunt had a Navigator Pro Lift Away for about five years before upgrading to the Rotator Powered Lift Away. The nozzle hose split, and they sent her one for free. about a year later, the replacement hose split and they sent her a second one for free as it was...

Must be common with wet vacuums, my Floormate's clean water tank has yellowed. and all of my rug scrubbers (portable and uprights) have done this too.

The Whirlwind performs very well. But that dirt cup was just a disaster. It was hard to empty and clean the second chamber that the "cyclone" was in.

Here's the infomercial for it. It seems pretty good.

Wal-Mart has these again

I have been wondering for a while why Riccars and Simplicies where the same machine, just different name. Thank you for explaining that, Tom.

If you find the right type of adapter they will. I use the tangel free turble that I got for my Dyson DC65 on my Shark Powered Lift Away, it works with the adapter that came with it.

I just got a Powered Lift Away True pet a couple weeks ago. I LOVE it. It cleans very well, better than my DC65. It feels pretty durable, too. My only complaint is that it is too powerfull. Even with it on the "high carpet" mode which reduces suction, it has a lot of suction, and still clamps...

I'm at Bed Bath and Beyond and they have it. It claims to clean carpets better than the Shark Rotator NV400. The dust cup seems rather small.

Mine is the DC65, it made me not hate Dysons, like I used to.

I think the DC65 is the better choice, almost 100 more Air Watts, and it's several hundred dollars cheaper. I tried the DC75 "big ball" out at Sears two weeks ago, it felt clunky and it felt like it was just skimming along the carpet. I would rather keep my DC65 than "upgrade" to the big ball.

The "Big Ball" (what the dc75 is here in the US) is not as good as the previous model, the DC65/Ball Allergy vacuum (Dc41 MKII/ DC55 in the UK)
