I thought it looked suspicious That would certainly be unsettling if I found one of my pics on eBay. Can never be to careful, I guess. I'll make sure I only bid on listings with more than one picture, and then verify on here as well. Even the description seems a little bogus.

There is a listing for Simplicity Verve on ebay right now that has the same picture someone posted here in 2011. I thought it was odd unless poster and seller are the same, it's possible, but still. The post here is #146297 or search for Simplicity Verve. eBay sellers name is efee2013, not...

The other side Here is the other side of my Whispertone.

Decision made! I decided on a used Kenmore Whispertone upright. I really appreciate all the input from everyone on here, you all have been very helpful. I've been enjoying reading this forum, it's a lot of fun. Bought this on ebay for $65 including shipping. Whether it's worth $65 I'm not...

Re Eureka MMs: Noted--thank you. And didn't know about that Sanitaires, I'll look those up as well. Thanks.

Thanks, guys, and vacman, that panasonic looks a lot like the one I test drove today. Very nice.

Grrrr! Just a minute after I posted this thread, this arrived in the mail, replacement for the roller brush for my Bissell. See pic. And this is why I will never buy another vacuum from a big box store again, and why I'm on here asking so many questions before I buy the next one. What a pain...

new Panasonic Platinum upright MC-UG583 + Eureka mighty mite canister... What do you think of this duo? A local mom and pop vacuum shop owner recommended, he of course, uses this duo at home, as he is a Panasonic retailer. And he says this is how a lot of maid services clean. Tried the...

Pet hair My next questions are how will the Panasonic power nozzle deal with copious amounts of long dog hair on the carpet. I'd like a beater bar that won't let the dog hair get wrapped around it. I don't know what caused that on my Bissel, but it was unreal the amount of hair I had to cut...

Panasonic problems Thank you, the panasonic seems like a good fit, especially if I can get it new for 200, but I read a couple of members on this site and some user on Amazon that had problems with the interior filling up with dust because of problems with the bag sealing to the hose. So I...

Thanks for the continued input and ideas. Tristar's not one I've really looked into so I'll read up more on that one and the electrolux too. I did like the L shape for getting around all the furniture. Good point about the attachments, I've already broken a telescoping wand, the inner plastic...

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll definitely look into the Panasonic. If I can find a used high end upright, I may still work with two. The master bedroom carpet is kind of like my problem child, it's only maybe 15% of the square footage of the house but it takes up 70% of my carpet cleaning time.

I live in a 2400 sq foot single story home, carpeting in the bedrooms, laminate and tile in bathrooms and common areas. A couple of area rugs. 3 dogs. golden retriever broke our Bissell Cyclonic Lift Pet vacuum's beater brush with his long hair (and I didn't maintain it). Getting new parts...
