That's very interesting! It looks like James Dyson wanted to put the cyclones side by side, instead of the 2nd cyclone being inside the bin like he did with the Cyclon. And he didn't incorporate the powerhead yet, looks like it had a straight suction nozzle. Nice, but would have been too big and...

I pick a machine that suits the job and cleaning situation and living environment I need to clean. For instance, my present living environment is mostly hard floors with carpeting in the bedroom and upholstery. So I usually grab one of my canisters, my Shark Rocket HV381 with DuoClean, Dyson V10...

No problem Antoine, I try my best to be a nice guy LOL. I understand though your doctor's concerns and you wanting to make him happy and not risk your health. One little thing I was taught as a kid and that I go by is, everything in moderation! You don't have to give it up entirely, just make it...

Antoine, I wish you best wishes for a speedy recovery. And hopefully you don't have to give up your favorite foods....I certainly love french fries, pizza and pop too! :) And best wishes to you for a great, happy, healthy great 2026 for you.

I wouldn't say your request is unreasonable. BUT, be warned - if you ask them to ship in a plain box, and they have to pay extra for it, they will likely either refuse or insist you pay the extra cost for the box.

Dare I say it....the Dyson V16. Talk about a vacuum that was released WAY TOO EARLY! The powerhead needs improvement, no fluffy head, and the motor unit/cyclones DEFINITELY stand to be improved! This is one vacuum I think most people will be best to wait till the next generation V16 comes out.

Those Ryobi uprights were HORRIBLE compared to other direct air uprights in the 90s. I knew a guy who had a Singer version of this machine, and it didn't perform well compared to a Hoover Elite I owned at the time. One thing I find interesting about this Durabilt, though, is the brushroll. It...

Dave, I would suggest using a aftermarket Rainbow hose cord, and replacing the wand cord with a standard powerhead cord. Yes, it would be aftermarket and non original in appearance, since the cords would be black, but bear in mind that if you DO find the original long hose & wand cord it will...

ryan7053 - Take your wand into a vac shop and see if it will fit onto a Wessel Werk EBK360. I think that will solve your problem. A year or 2 after Sirena came out onto the market, they had a black Premier Edition that had a Plastiflex crushproof hose and the Wessel Werk EBK360 pn with what...

SeboU1, the mistake you made with the Riccar Spirit was using it to pick up the Sebo Duo P powder with a relatively full bag! When you're picking up that kind of fine, powdery dirt, you need all the airflow the vacuum has to get it out and into the bag. Next time, try putting a new bag in the...

That is a really nice looking Electrolux AF! Best of luck with the sale.

Well, Mom told me that I would take her Electrolux AP280 out of the closet and play with it starting around 3 years old. And Mom also did have her own housekeeping service. So I think that was definitely a factor in me developing my interest in vacuums :)

Another really cheap way to make international long distance calls is MagicJack. If the 2 people making and receiving the call have the MagicJack device, the call is FREE anywhere worldwide. So ya sure the device is about $60 CDN dollars to buy, and $120 CDN to buy 2 devices may seem costly at...

I have the ET1 powerhead on my Sebo Felix, and although it's good, it's not as good as the Miele SEB228 or SEB236 for carpet agitation. Plus, I feel the ET1 needs 1 more height adjustment setting - on some low pile area rugs I have, I have found that setting the height adjustment on 1 makes it...

If you're looking at straight suction canister vacuums, have you looked at the Simplicity Jill or Miele Compact C1 canisters? The Miele would be best here, since the 9 layer AirClean bags really do help the vacuum retain it's airflow & suction as the bag fills. Also, generic FJM bags are cheap...
