    Sebo X4 Difficult to Push

    Well my theory on the clogged bag was not true, my x4 is still difficult to push. I called Sebo and they said that it needs to go to a dealer to have the belt or board replaced. I will give an update on the solution, it should be covered under warranty on my 8 month old X4. I still highly...

    tv series vacs

    ALF: Dirt Devil broom vac is often seen in the laundry room, and a Hoover convertible appeared twice. Family Matters: Hoover dialamatic, Dirt Devil Feather Light, and Hoover celebrity is seen at one point. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Jeffrey often uses some sort of a Eureka Bravo type of...

    Worst vacuum.

    Sharks lack a proper cyclone, and really I would say that anything bagless is the worst. I really dislike cordless vacuums, so I also voted the v12. I strongly believe that Dyson never tried their non ball models in a real home. They absolutely cannot get under kitchen cabinets, cannot get along...

    Dc07

    Well I should have added a photo, but the first dc07 has been fully cleaned and refurbished. The clutched Dysons are definitely the most painful belt change I have ever done! I would not recommend the generic blue bristled brush, after painfully fitting it, the machine had an awful vibration. I...

    Seen these vacs at goodwill

    My goodwill hasn’t had any vacuums in years, eBay has been my source!

    It has so far! I’m using Beko 1987’s video to guide me along!

    Dc07

    Well I ended up with two Dyson dc07 all floors, not many would dream of this. Long story short, I ended up with two as I believed that the first seller was not going to ship my order. The second one is in better condition and the owner claimed that it “lost its suction over the years.” This dc07...

    Dyson dc07

    The older Dyson are also easier to work on! I had the pleasure of working on a dc40, the wire that gives power to the motor head broke. That model never went back together very well, and the replacement wire only lasted 6 months.

    Hi Looking to Purchase a New Vac

    That Prolux was sold under the Kenmore name years ago, they sold them for about $60 at Kmart! The Kenmore has a very short hose. If you have a vacuum store near you, they might be able to find you something of quality that is in your budget. Vacuum stores usually have some refurbished premium...

    Look what I ordered off ebay today!

    Now seems to be the time to buy Kirby’s on eBay, there are several at a good price. For a while, there was nothing under $250. I toyed with getting another but I think two are enough for me.

    Hi Looking to Purchase a New Vac

    Unfortunately, you are looking for something that does not exist that is of good quality. There are no quality uprights that store the turbo tool on board. Given the current state of the vacuum market your best bet would be a canister, but I have two upright suggestions. The Sebo Felix and the...

    New member intro

    Welcome aboard, Sebo makes some of the best vacuums! People are in shock if I tell them that I paid $800 for a vacuum, but they will buy the $300 Dyson or Shark every few years. Shark and Dyson are based upon planned obsolescence. The premium vacuum brands can often have a 30 year life span. I...

    Sebo X4 Hard to Push

    The light works, but it is difficult to fake a clog. The machine is 8 months old, so I would not expect any major issues.

    Sebo X4 Hard to Push

    No the bag light did not come on, but the base did seam slightly warmer than usual.

    Dyson dc07

    Well I’ll make a condensed comment on all your replies. I never would have thought that they have a Panasonic motor, they’ve proven reliable. I purchased it from eBay for $65, and told the seller to pack very well, as they can be brittle. I examined the pictures carefully, my uncle still uses...
