I think there is some truth to this. You can typically, or most of the time, recover more dirt with one vacuum after using another. Most people being shown this test in a demo don't know what a lot of dirt looks like, so it doesn't matter if the second vacuum pulls an additional teaspoon of...

This problem is allegedly resolved in the Guard models, and I wonder if the Guard's ComfortFit bag dock is backward's compatible with the older Miele models. It looks like the Gaurd M1 bag dock would fit the C3, when comparing photos of C3 and M1 bag compartment, bag dock, alignment tabs, etc. I...

I almost bought one, but I saw somewhere online that the Guard L1 is slightly less powerful, but I can't remember or find where I saw that. Maybe it is what psychology calls a 'false memory.' But, I do remember thinking, "man, why would Miele make it less powerful than the C3?" The [US]...

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.
