Maybe this vacuum would be useful to folks living in “subtiny”homes those under 500 sqft. Completely useless to me. It’s more of a toy than a vacuum cleaner.

I live about 2 hrs east of Raleigh. The coast is about an hour East of me. Would like to know if there is any vaccollectors in the East area of NC.

I use a Lindhaus LS38 hard floor sweeper vacuum. I can also use the hard floor tools with my canisters. I was told by the home salesman NOT to wet the laminate flooring. The water can get between the planks causing them to swell. I wipe up liquid spills with. A rag or sponge.

Do the toy Dyson s really work or blow the beads in the bin?

Same with me-more are on the way. Since the fire my vacuum collection is growing. The vac shop here found a metal commercial Royal for me. Now in my collection. Was bought in Indianapolis, Indiana. Has the dealer paperwork someone traded it in after replacing their carpet with laminate flooring.

Is Aerus no longer going to be with us? Their vacuums are very good-but very overpriced.

Incorrect about running 25hp from 120/240v single phase house current-the current draw is too high. Remember those motors were made to run from commercial 3 ph power. Another alternative is to buy a surplus 3 ph gas or diesel gen set and run the motor from that.

A household wiring system WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN A 25hp car wash vacuum. Plus the motor compressor unit is VERY large and mounted outside. A car wash out here had one. At best a home 120/240 v system may run single phase motors to 5hp. You will need the 60A range outlet to run the motor. Some...

In defense of the dump bags-they are favored for commercial use.The amount of dirt a commercial vacuum picks up in even one shift would fill a large pack of disposable bags.This would get VERY expensive!You can get aftermarket bags that use disposable bags if you should want to use the vacuum at...

Keep in mind the Hygeinetec nozzle is NOT a Kirby product.Neither is the UV lamp contained in the nozzle.

And do the dust mites get pulled into the bag before the light hits them.It takes up to several min of exposure to the UV or its not effective.

Oh yes when I used the bagless Meile vacuum slirped out the chambers with a bagged Sebo canister.

I have a bagless Meilie canister that is very quiet.Unusual vacuum.Has two main chambers to catch dirt-dust.First chamber for large dirt-dust second for finer dust and has a filter.Bought this for my collecton.The dealer had it for a while and sold it to me at a good price.It is a suction only...

The problem with present Kirby plastic fans is not breaking-but melting when used in the blower mode with the inflator deflator attachment for a period of time exceedning a few minutes-not a problem with metal fans.Also deforming when Kirby users allow the bag to get too full and not replacing...

With the problems of melting-deforming fans-Kirby shoudl GO BACK to the METAL fans-No melting or deforming problems with those-esp if you should use the Kirby as a "centrifical compressor"as with the inflator-deflator tool on the blower mode.And yet ANOTHER Kirby came to the vac shop here with a...
