    Free Vacuum Extravaganza in San Diego

    I'd love to come by and grab some. I don't have a lot of space, so I can't take many, but still. I'm up in Vista so it wouldn't be too bad a trek for me.

    Central Vacuum Recommendation For Small Space

    MD Personally If you're comfortable doing your own work, a Flowmaster 450t from MD would work well. Plenty of power, relatively small, and not super loud. The only downside is that it lacks a utility valve, however, it would be easy enough to connect a utility port yourself. If not that, the...

    2020 Henry Vacuum

    Probably a scam I'm thinking a scam is likely, I've messaged the seller and gotten no reply, and I paid for the machine a week ago so... Oh well.

    2020 Henry Vacuum

    So, there was a Henry vacuum for sale on eBay, advertised as authentic, brand new, and so on. It was 60 dollars. I bought it because hey. Why not. So stay tuned as to whether or not it was the real deal, or a hillarious failure.

    Shark and Dyson Cleaners

    I wish there were a better reply system... I'm just going to reply in order, bare with me.    @bagintheback So, mostly non-warranty repairs, at least as far as Sharks are concerned. Of just my time there, both warranty claims resulted in Shark just sending the customer a new machine, both...

    Shark and Dyson Cleaners

    I got hired on at a vac&sew shop a few months back, and I can say with all certainty that, while I was never very fond of Shark or Dyson before, I absolutely despise the brands now. I'm aware that this sounds like your traditional "old man yelling at the sky" stuff that gets posted a lot, but...

    Carpet Cleaners

    Thanks all, I really appreciate the input. I'll be looking at the Big Green, and the RD X3 I guess, and I do like the idea of a larger water capacity. I'll let y'all know what I end up landing on.

    Carpet Cleaners

    Hey all, so my Hoover Spin Scrub is getting up there in years, and the motor sounds....tired. I've tried a few new machines (Bissell Proheat, the one that looks like a normal vac, and a Rug Doctor Flex Clean, and the current Hoover Spin Scrub), and I'm really not impressed. Does anyone have any...

    A (temporary) Fix For My Fairfax

    Thank's for the positive support all! @huskyvacs I'm considering getting a cheap HF dremel, as I don't really have use for a dremel otherwise. But I was thinking about it. Honestly, I'm just glad it's working so far.

    A (temporary) Fix For My Fairfax

    So, while I wait indefinitely for a replacement Filterizer, I decided to try and fix the one that came with my vac. The seller still had the broken filter and sent it after I asked about it. The original was pretty much snapped off right at the fitting. So, after an hour of trimming down some...

    Opinions on the new RICCAR R25 D and 25p?!

    @johnsmith96 Honestly, I think it comes down to whether or not you want one. I know that the price range at my local vac shop was $249-$449, and at $249, I think it's a perfectly good machine. Personally, I appreciate that all models have a brushroll kill switch vs. the clutch style on the...

    If you could only keep one vacuum cleaner which one would you choose?

    Lindhaus Healthcare Pro Ecoforce. They're fantastic vacuums (in my opinion), with plenty of versatility and can be used as a dry carpet cleaning system. Plus, I just love anything that's an electric broom style.

    Lindhaus Aria Platinum

    @lesinutah Oof, sorry. I just now saw this. I don't know why it wasn't working, but I'll be sure to double check my links next time. Thank you for the heads up.

    Fairfax Filterizer Shell

    Hi all, I recently picked up a Fairfax vacuum, but the exhaust filter outer plastic was broken where it connects to the machine and is not repairable. Does anyone happen to have one for sale?
