    Door to Door Brands.

    Another one I have always had an interest in was Fairfax. Faxomatic. What was their story?

    Door to Door Brands.

    This kind of got me wondering from a prior conversation. But the big door to door brands have always been. Rainbow Kirby Electrolux (Aerus) Filter Queen Tri Star. Rainbow and Kirby seem to still be doing well for the most part I see a lot of both. Aerus Electrolux USA seems to be checking...

    Whirlpool Bathtubs Are A Dead Trend?

    I think they were just a trend. they were nice to a point. But then you realized they were work to keep up and the trend died down. Plus keeping the jets clean would be a pain in the butt as well.

    New Aerus models

    I kinda feel like Aerus Electrolux USA has checked out at this point. You get more from Rainbow and Kirby than you do anyone else. This is sad because Aerus (Electrolux USA) has been around since the beginning of time.

    Rainbow vs Sebo/Miele

    Rainbow now user friendly. @ DylanMC. You do have a little bit of a point about Rainbow not being user friendly. But you just have to get in a routine. Once a month I give mine a really good cleaning (water pan, separator and underside). But just for daily I have it down to a science where...

    Rainbow vs Sebo/Miele

    Rainbow is a different experience for everyone. Not everyone loves their Rainbow. Or some hate them then grow to love them or get one and get rid of it. I have had my D4C since 1997. It's dates tamped 1987. It's still my daily driver and I wouldn't change anything about it. All I have ever...

    Most unpleasant-sounding vacuum ever?

    Ones that come to mind. Oreck. Shark corded sticks. Really any corded stick. It sounds like a jet coming in on landing. Kirby. When the hose is hooked up.

    What does this year hold?

    A lot is going on with us. Brent and I own our own company and it has take off better than we could have ever imagined. We are also diversifying in a few ways which has helped us as well. We have a lot of customers in California and while the wild fires were devastating many of our customers...

    What do you do about vacuums you're partial about?

    I kinda look at it from this standpoint. These machines are in the back of your head for a reason. Something about these machines has your interest. I have this problem as well. But... I only have the ones that have any significant memory for me. My Rainbow is one of them. My Aerus...

    Rest in Peace Morgan.

    I don't know if this should be here or not. But given the circumstances I think it will be okay. Normally I would never try to speak for everyone or other people. But in this situation I'll gladly make an exception. This website, and the clubs has suffered a tremendous loss that will never...

    What Happened To FantomTechGuy

    So Fantom Technologies went bankrupt back in 2001. It was then purchased by Euro-Pro. Most likely any patents and licensing would most likely held under Euro-Pro. Trying to revive an old company like this would be next to impossible. The money and legal process would take years to complete...

    This is how my love of Rainbow started.

    It's funny that this memory surfaced the other day. Growing up home life was not good. I did everything I could to stay out of the house. On top of that I also was more comfortable with older people than I was with people my own age. Down the road from us was a close friend Teresa. I...

    1983 Kirby COMVAC CV1300

    Did the ComVac ever come with attachments or was it strictly for floor commercial use?

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    Something that people don't realize... Is that we as a group have each other when it comes to this. A few posts up... There were a lot of reasons as to why people might not use a Central Vacuum System. No tools, no main units. The units might not work or the tools are in bad shape or...
