    Vacuum FIltration Poll

    If you don't have a lot of clutter, and have a good HEPA bagged vacuum that doesn't leak into the bag chamber...and the right tools to go with that vacuum, and you clean all over the place floor to ceiling, you would be amazed how much dust you can get... So yes, filtration is important. If you...

    Doesn't Cleva Make Kenmore Canisters now? They didn't fix this??

    I didn't realize you had made a video of the Cleva models. I knew you had reviewed & made videos of the panasonic made canisters in the past. So then these are NOT sealed? Not only that, I didn't realize the hose was now FIXED in place. Wow. It's crazy how much these still look like the...

    Doesn't Cleva Make Kenmore Canisters now? They didn't fix this??

    I've never had a Miele, but that is SNEAKY and If I had bought one, I wouldn't have known that opening the bag compartment would cause the bag to have to be reseated. I do like that LOCK click when you push the bag in, at least the Kenmore bag collar should have that so you KNOW it's on. Other...

    Doesn't Cleva Make Kenmore Canisters now? They didn't fix this??

    I don't know. I can only assume since he just unboxed it and started using it that it's genuine. The bag simply slides into the collar, you push it until it stops and it lines up perfectly with the opening in the bag. It's very simple to install a bag in these. If only when you put the hose into...

    Doesn't Cleva Make Kenmore Canisters now? They didn't fix this??

    I dunno. I went back to the video and took this screenshot and the bag looks to be perfectly installed.

    Doesn't Cleva Make Kenmore Canisters now? They didn't fix this??

    I understand that. That's what made me want to try one again. I knew they were sealed now where they weren't before. They improved several areas. It's the bag collar. Keep in mind, I had three, yes three Kenmore canisters from around 2004 to 2010. Each lasted around 2 years when the quick...

    Doesn't Cleva Make Kenmore Canisters now? They didn't fix this??

    I always loved the kenmore canisters except for one major thing. The bag collar and no gaskets on the bags = bag chamber full of dust. Didn't they redesign these to make them sealed? I can't believe they kept this same collar design. Take a look at this video At around 5:44 take a look

    I have Rainbow Rep coming to my house

    I remember YEARS ago consumer reports I think vacuumed up , what was it, talc powder or some super fine powder with a rainbow and it blew right through the other side. That's the thing that bugs me. I wouldn't want to use ANY vacuum to vacuum that stuff up. Look at what those carpet powders do...

    I have Rainbow Rep coming to my house

    It's because there's NO room for ERROR with rainbows. Unfortunately, most people I think end up ERRORING. Those vacuums get sent to vac shops, vac shop owners sees a fitlhy rainbow (time and time again) - vac shop owner assumes" these things are trash and don't work" without thinking that...

    Help. I notice a small hole in hose

    On my cirrus vacuum. That lower hose that's fixed to the vacuum. I saw a small hole on the outside of that at the back of the hose. I I see the actual bottom hose is an ultra cheap replacement. But I can't find any instructions online how to change it? Is it just take the lower plate off/ pop...

    RIP old Vacuumland.

    It's so odd feeling. Like you know you're on vacuumland and you know why it changed, but there's a disconnect... like you're on some other random website. Funny this happened as I'm changing to a new laptop.

    How to remove cat urine from carpet with carpet cleaners?

    don't ask me how I was able to do it... but my cat Leo was terrified of strange noises... like on trash day the loud trash trucks, or even just rain hitting the roof...and thunder, forgetaboutit... He was inconsolable...nothing you could do would make him feel safe...the best I could do was...

    How to remove cat urine from carpet with carpet cleaners?

    I had cat from 2005 to 2022. I still have one of those little greens (but not the pro heat version).. I found it to be a little amazing unit and it got me through LOTS of puke and a few pee accidents... I think you need an enzyme cleaner for that...I think you have to spray the urine area and...

    Well, I finally did it.

    But there's something about having one brand new in Box... I don't regret to this day buying my rainbow new in 2006...I didn't even get a demo..No one showed up at my door. I just called and they lady was so confused... "You just want to buy one?" She said. anyway - I found this story...

    Rainbow vs Sebo/Miele

    Personally, I prefer having a HEPA bagged vacuum AND a Rainbow...which is what I have now... I use the HEPA bagged more but I still use my rainbow.. Also - I agree, I watch Kirby enthusiast on youtube (I think he's from Australia) He goes over all about how to use them... It really doesn't look...
