    Worst hose you've ever used

    Anything stretch. When I worked at the ad agency I was cleaning and rearranging my office. At the time they had a Bissell Powerforce with a stretch hose. I was trying to dust the top shelf of a bookcase and I had the hose stretched out to the farthest. My boss came in and scared me and I...

    Kenmore Central Vacuums

    From what I remember with my neighbors they had it set up out in the garage and four inlets. Each inlet was close to a single electric outlet and each inlet and outlet had a switch so that they could just turn the system and powerhead on and not have to unplug the hose or cord. I know it was a...

    What vacuums do/did your parents or grandparents use?

    Lets see if I remember how this goes... My Grandmother on my moms side only had Electrolux. She had Electrolux Model G with Power Nozzle. She then had an Ultra Lux and then a Discover III upright with attachements. She did have a Dirt Devil Hand vac with attachments. A couple of different...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    Hi John. Hopefully all is well on your end of the country. In reality I'm happy about the whole thing. I'm doing better than ever. What they don't realize is that my business partners husband works for the local hospital system up here and is right in the thick and middle of it all. My...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    This whole COVID-19 thing has really become a huge social issue. This week alone I have pretty much been told that I don't know what I'm talking about and I just need to shut my mouth if I'm that clueless. However I do know more than what people give me credit for and fine. So be it. So...

    Favorite "lunch"?

    I have been doing a lot of healthier choices. But at the same time being at the restaurant we have been having test kitchen days sampling new food for the new menu coming out. LOL But in general I have been doing a lot of salads on the days I work from home. Quick and easy. I have been...

    Kenmore Central Vacuums

    For the most part this was a great read. The only thing I actually disagree with was the switch on the hose to turn the power head on and off. That wasn't until the very end I believe. The only reason I say that is because one of my old neighbors had one from the 80's and there was no switch...

    Through the years to come.

    A vacuum is going to last as long as you take care of it. If you clean it out, maintain the filters and treat it well it will last a long time. Higher end vacuums like the door to door types are built to last even longer. With that being said... Bissell is notorious for discontinuing...

    Stimulus check vacuums

    I didn't buy a vacuum... But I did buy my DNA Ancestry kit. This should be interesting.

    What have you done since Stay At Home ???

    I have been working from home for the most part and it's going well. My boss who has been a savior in her own way has also had us working onsite two to three days a week. For Easter we did a take out dinner which was extremely successful so last week I was in at the restaurant more than...

    Stimulus check vacuums

    I'm stashing it in savings to go towards the down payment for the new house. I have all the vacuums I need. I may do a grocery haul and really finish shocking up. Who knows.

    Does This Mean I’m Going To Vacuum Hell?

    It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what I was looking at then I finally saw it. My hats off to the transplant team on this one. And they say heart and kidney transplants are difficult. The fact that you got everything to line up and work perfectly is pretty cool.

    Fantastic Fantom Thunder

    My mom had one of these and I hated it. I think the only thing I liked about it was the sound the motor made when turned on. Yes it did clean well. I used it a few times and it seemed really nice when it came to cleaning carpets. But at the same time that was about all it was good for.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    It is way to close to home now. We have a confirmed exposure here in Bridgman Michigan where I live. Keeping in mind that exposure doesn't mean that the person actually has it. They were just in a distance of another person that is either a carrier or has it. I have not heard anymore since this...

    Whirlpool recall/class action suit

    I am so sorry that all this has happen. Even before I worked for Whirlpool I have always been a consumer of all their brands products and brands. I have never had any issues and have always been extremely happy with them. Even if I ever did need any kind of service I was always able to get...

    What make is this wand ?

    Less. It's not Rainbow. Rainbow has specific wands that they have to use. I know that a Vacuum Cleaner shop has tried to use them on older model Rainbows and you can see it on their videos. But the wands do not fit properly into the hose or powerheads. Andy

    What make is this wand ?

    It's just a generic wand. They are used all over. Check with Centec. I thi k early 2000s Shark used them for their canisters. It seems like a lot of unknown brands will use them.
