I’d like to gradually start testing vacuums, but I don’t know where to start. I don’t want flaws in my experiments, but that’s something I’ll have to learn as I go, refining the process over time. Eventually, I would like to have a way to get my experiment(s) analyzed. What equipment would be...

Well, I’ve had a good number of vacs from all price brackets, with many of them from premium brands. My V15 has impressed me, but I’ve never been able to truly test it the way I’d like. But you see, that is the problem. I’m not sure it is possible to test without meeting true lab-grade...

Or a NOS Hyla N Series brush roll?

Do you happen to have a new old stock Hyla N Series motor by a chance?

I am interested in the performance level. It most likely will not have anywhere close to the upper-level Dyson performance. That is a critical aspect I consider when analyzing a stick vacuum. So many lack decent performance, and Sebo, so far, has not implemented H13 filtration. The HEPA...

There are things I immediately like about it. 900W HYPERDIMIUM MOTOR The very well-engineered 900W Hyperdimium Motor is a big selling point to me. With 315AW, it should translate to impressively high levels of suction and airflow, but I'd like to know how much power it has at the medium-power...

You can make custom adapters DIY with a 3D printer until there are official adapters available for sale. Really makes me want to buy a 3D printer to see what I can create with it in the vacuum world. I’d love to try a Miele house and ergonomic handle on a Kirby, or a Miele power nozzle on my...

Oh I didn’t know that! Very interesting. So many brands existed before I was born, and many have gone away during my life. Especially auto brands.

Every time I try to reply, it says “oops, can’t post more than 100000 characters.” Something like that. Even if the reply is as short as this. Replies from other members are significantly longer, so what’s the deal? Is it because I’m using an iPhone instead of a laptop?

Westinghouse? I didn’t know they ever made vacs. I bought a Westinghouse power washer a year or so ago, must be the same brand.

Oh my word this my reminds me of myself when I first started selling Rainbows. I was a wreck. I still managed to sell 1 out of every 3 demos, which was at the time their statistical average. I think they have a better sales pitch than Kirby does, and it seems they attract a different demographic...

Buff up? Do you mean you polished and buffed the paint jobs? I’ve been wanting to do that to my Miele and Sebo vacs. The painted parts on the main housings have some swirls and scratches.

Yes they do seem to find me, old ones that I can’t get parts for. That’s the most frustrating thing. I wanted to restore a Hoover PowerMax like my grandmother had but I can’t find parts for those, along with some other vacs I had when I was a kid.

G5 - I love the Cabernet dark red wine color scheme, but I also love the 2-speed switch of the Diamond Edition, and the performance upgrades of the Sentria - Avalir models. The Avalir Platinum allegedly is being manufactured with some sort of sound diffuser that makes it quieter, so I’d prob...

Greetings, Just joined and thought I would introduce myself a bit. I love vacs. I love working on them, servicing , repairing, modifying, testing, and researching them. My passion for vacs developed at a young age, and my favorite models to date are the G5+ Kirby vacs and the higher-end Miele...
