    Vacuum cleaner pick up tests on carpet

    ?? Why is one YouTube attacking someone based on their perceived "health status" and their shoes? What do these things have to do with vacuums? It reminds me of a certain past president who couldn't make a solid argument and would stoop to the level of a bully and attack people based on silly...

    Maytage 1200 Specs

    Does anyone have specs on the Maytag 1200 such as airflow at the head, etc? There really isn't much out there on the Maytag models. Thanks, David

    Canisters that Agitate

    The weight part makes some sense but I don't think that is all of it. I have seen vacuums on Ibaisaic that agitate very well while others do not and they may both be bypass uprights. I think all the perfect elements have to come together to create the best cleaning experience. It is the...

    Disappointed in My Maytag 1200

    I am breaking my oath to point out your inconsistency. And I quote "I am, however, sorry that you were not mature enough to accept criticism." You did not say I was acting mature you said I am not mature enough to take your criticism. The fact is I don't have to take your criticism. I can post...

    Disappointed in My Maytag 1200

    Oh, Kirby Man, you really need to just let it go. I didn't come here for criticism and for you to step over the line and insinuate I am not "mature" really says more about you than it does me. I would like to keep things civil so I will refrain from responding to you at this point. Have a nice...

    Disappointed in My Maytag 1200

    Thanks Bill. I have read a lot of your posts and appreciate you explaining the science behind the process. I thought as much with the Sebo but expected more out of the Maytag. I was quite shocked as it agitates so well and dirt, dust, etc. is literally pulled in from an inch away. My Kirby...

    Disappointed in My Maytag 1200

    So, I guess your point is still lost on me. My point about the Maytag being a premium vacuum is he didn't list it as so but then listed Tacony. I was pointing out the discrepancy. I am so sorry I didn't conform to the way you post (note sarcasm). Again, I don't see what difference it makes. I...

    Disappointed in My Maytag 1200

    Kirbysthebest For one, I don't recall ever "defending" the machine. No one has put it down so I would have no reason to defend it. I am simply reporting the pros and cons as I use the machine. That is how it works. You break it in and get to know the positives and negatives. If you don't like...

    In the Market for a PN Canister

    sebo4me Sebo4m3, unfortunately, and E3 Premium will set you back about $800 in the US which is ridiculous.

    Disappointed in My Maytag 1200

    I decided to do a version of the flour test to see how well my Sebo D4Premium, Maytag 1200, and Kirby Ultimate Diamond Edition deep clean. I have an area rug on top of carpeting that also sits on a rug mat that keeps it from moving around and bunching. I put some baking soda down on the rug mat...

    In the Market for a PN Canister

    Sebo I would disagree and say Sebo produces some great canister vacs. The ET-1 powerhead has a great brush roll. I have the D4 Premium but I would recommend the E3 Premium instead as it is powerful, uses the same PN, but is smaller and more compact. They are pricy but made like tanks. They are...

    Canisters that Agitate

    Tolivac Tolivac, not all uprights spin the brush faster than canisters with a PN. There are canisters out there that have direct drive motors or toothed belts, such as Sebo, that turn very fast and don't get bogged down as vacuums with regular belts often do.

    Tacony Tandem Air Suction Not Too Great

    Tacony and Central Vacs Correct me if I am wrong but, generally speaking, the suction on a central vac tends to be pretty good, so wouldn't a PN with a direct air fan or motor be moot as the higher suction would negate the extra airflow created? Doesn't a vacuum that uses both a direct air...

    Tacony Tandem Air Suction Not Too Great

    Getting Along and Forum As a side note, it would be nice if we could reply directly to someone's post and have it quote the post. It can be difficult to read through the entire thread to figure out what was responded to. At the end of the day, these are just vacuums. The amount of emotional...
