Robot Airflow NS There are several features or lack of features that would stop me from buying: (1) having to mess with 2 hoses instead of one electric hose (2) no direct connect of the electric hose to machine (3) it looks top heavy from the pictures (4) where would you get service? We have...

Estate sale finds Fred Nelson, Now that is so funny! Just what we need here is some collector's humor. Just love it. Rob

Rainbow E2 power nozzle issue After reading your post I did get my first ediiton center belt power nozzle out and try it against the 2nd edition side belt gear driven power nozzle. There is a diffference. In my case and on my carpet the first edition would have served me well but you have a...

Rainbow E2 power nozzle issue My grandmother bought Karastan wall to wall carpet about 20 plus years ago. It was plush and soft. She tired so many vacuums and nothing worked with a revoling brush. Her Hoover could not be adjusted to the right height. My Kirby had the same problem. Just ate...

Rainbow E2 Black Power Nozzle Issues Any chance you have that new "soft" plush carpeting? I know several people who have bought the new style and they have had HUGE problems getting a cleaner to work on the new style and design. I had first the middle belt power nozzle with my Black Rainbow...

Help identify Rexair model number Hans, you so are very correct. I posted several years ago that when we had new flagstone walks put down the amound to sand being tracked in was just crazy. For some reason I used that Jet Tool on my carpets and over and over again it would pull out large...

Pr-21's Kirby Avalir Bud, Thanks for the update. Sounds like it all worked out very well for you. Not surprised it is a good carpet cleaner. Glad you had a good experience with the dealer too.

Pr-21's Kirby Avalir Hey Bud, It sure looks nice. Hope you enjoy it!

1956 Sunbeam Dual Deluxe Tom, I agree with Patrick. So much more interesting than all the plastic made in china uprights today. A friend had one of those Sunbeam's and I DO remember it had very strong suction! Not sure what model but it was that color combination. No turbine brush. Love the...

Air-Way 88 Complete My family bought theirs in 1964 or 1965. I would need to check the back of the instruction book to be sure.

Lux Guardian Platinum Filters Gary, Thanks for sharing the information. I thought all Lux machines shut off automatically when the bag was full. He gives a nice demonstration. I hope those new style bags will correct the reported dust leaking problems. In the video, the machine is nice and...

Maytag Satelite I had the SAME crushed hose problem with both the white and stainless machines. I am with John on this one. Why didn't they stick with the well designed Hoover tools instead of using those cheap, generic, friction fit tools. The power brush was useless. I also did like the real...

Roll Easy for the 21st Century I love the color and styling but I can see several issues that would prevent me buying and would not be a good fit for my use: (1) power cord too short (2) hose way too short (3) bulky wands (4) no rug guard on the power brush (5) no light for power nozzle Same...

My Sirena PN is dead I don't know Mark but that just does not sound right to me. You don't want to get in a situation where you are almost out of warranty and the whole thing goes dead. Did your repair shop give you an explanation and did they try and address the problem with the switch...
