    Premier Spic and Span Hand vac

    Well, I made another impulse buy. This hand vac has been on EBay for awhile. It’s in terrible condition and it’s missIng the bag and handle. I’m hoping to restore it, and the seller does claim it runs. As long as the bearings aren’t completely shot I think I’ll be able to fix it. I also plan to...

    Is a manual carpet sweeper worth it?

    Ben I have been looking for a strait suction royal, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere in my area! If I find one cheap I’ll probably buy it. -Jack

    Got another weird backpack vacuum...

    I think this might have been some sort of toy. It looks like a replica of the vacuum from Luigi's Mansion. I remember my little brother playing it on his 3DS. -Jack

    Whirlpool Bathtubs Are A Dead Trend?

    Not completely dead! I rent a cabin up in the mountains and it has one! I don’t really like it. When I’m taking a bath personally I want a little peace and quiet. Not some jets whirling around. If I wanted that, I would go in a jacuzzi.

    Rainbow vs Sebo/Miele

    Personally I have an E2 and it works alright. I agree with AmtrakSebo1997, the k3 with a power head would be your best bet. As for the musty bag smell you mention, you can buy vacuum bag scent beads. I have one in my hoover elite and I never get that musty bag smell. Heres the link. -Jack...

    Is a manual carpet sweeper worth it?

    I love them! I absolutely love those little sweepers! I have 2 of them. As for cleaning power they’re not that great, they do pick up surface debris, and some deeper down dirt and pet hair. But don’t expect a ton. We have the bisslle ones at my church. I think that would be your best option...

    I kind of want to get a car wash vacuum for my collection.

    My local car wash just replaced their old car wash vacuums. The old one was picked up by a local hauling service. I did wonder if I could install one as well. I decided against it for a few reasons. First they are very bulky, Next they would be extremely hard to restore. People suck up...

    Oreck intellasheild bag

    Hello! I was wondering if anyone had this specific Oreck outer bag. There are a few in stock on ezvacuums.com, but I’m not willing to spend $70 on a random vacuum bag. I would really appreciate it if anyone could find one. Thanks -Jack

    Poor, sad Elite

    That's so sad! I'm sure you'll be able to find a new bag door, but it'll be hard to find one that matches exactly. I've seen other people do this on vacuums as well!

    Oreck XL motor

    Hello! I picked an Oreck XL 9100 from the trash. All I did was clean it and replace all the parts it needed (including the housing) The only other issue is the motor, it's completely shot and I'm not great at fixing them. So I found this one on eBay. Will this one work in my 9100? it looks...
