I have a cordless Shark Rocket, the cheapest model. Its was $160 at Walmart and so far has been my favorite cordless vacuum as it is an excellent value. The higher up models add some nifty features but I don't think they're worth the cost, at that point I'd rather buy a Dyson. The Shark has a...

The Lindhaus would be a good option too for sure!! Might be the best option, I haven't used one personally but I have heard great things. If you do consider an Aerus/Electrolux then any of the Discovery style uprights (L shaped floor nozzle, like the one to the left in my profile picture)...

Eurekaprince... Thank you for sharing this!!

I'd have to agree with the others, a Felix or Dart would be a good choice, pair it with a power nozzle for the carpets and a hard floor tool for the floors. I generally think the Miele canisters with one of their two higher end power nozzles clean better than Sebo products but there isn't too...

Huskyvac, the Swivel Sweeper was marketed by Ontel, a company that made many different as seen on TV products. The Euro-Pro sweeper was marketed primarily as a Shark, they also sold it under the Fantom brand. I assume they stopped using the Euro-Pro name and switched to Shark Ninja because of...

bikerray... Fuller Brush and HB Fuller Company are two different companies, HB Fuller Company is an adhesives company.

Looks like it was labeled for Multi-Clean products which at the time was owned by HB Fuller Company, an adhesives manufacturer as mentioned in an earlier reply. Looks like they primarily sell cleaning chemicals now. https://multi-clean.com/about/ Did you guys get Eureka in Australia? Definitely...

Good chance it'll still run but I can imagine how bad it must smell. I've been inside of homes after fires, it's not a smell that leaves anything it touches for a long time.

Currently I use the central vac for weekly cleaning sessions and a cordless upright for in between cleanings. If I did not have the central vacuum then I would have a Miele in the hall closet for both deep cleanings and the quick clean ups. The basic format of a hose+extension wand+electric...

I have experienced this in the past, it is definitely dependent on the breed of dog as you mentioned. I used to live with a boyfriend who had a Rottweiler, her short hair pierced bags with ease. I don't really think that searching for an older version of the Miele bags is a reasonable option, I...

vacuumdevil Hoover is the king of cheap vacuums, but they used to be the king of premium vacuums. That isn't what I would call innovation. Also, I would agree that they aren't outright greedy as a company, but they have made greedy moves in the past which backfired and resulted in them being...

vacuumdevil They probably Googled it and stumbled across a thread on here with two or three Fantom fans calling it collectible. Or perhaps they stumbled across this article written by Tom Gasko talking about how the Wildcats go for over $500 on eBay...

Yes! I did this with an H20 Vac Turbo back when they were being sold through infomercials. My curiosity of it got the best of me so I bought it and was quickly disappointed with the lack of a power nozzle so I cracked it open and wired a short cable into the power for the machine. If I remember...

It's unfortunate that this has happened to so many companies. Brand names mean very little now, many brands are owned by a few giant corporations. Hoover is just one of many brands that this has happened to.

I agree 100% with the idea that they rapidly declined as the years went on, well before the brand went to Candy and Maytag (and now TTI outside of Europe). It is typical of large companies, they tend to get to a point where innovation becomes difficult and seemingly unnecessary to those within...
