    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    It is! The canister I can get is an S36 for 300 (refurbished, only needs new hose)>.. can anyone affirm if this is a decent machine?

    Filtration systems?

    thank you both.. Stan, no I do not have my mind made up! LOL, hence the further research and questions! Tig... I just looked up the Aerus Lux... that machine is well over a grand, I can't afford that! Not to mention it's very negative reviews. The reason Stan mentioned the Kirby is there is...

    In my research I came across this articles and thought of those pushing Kirbys.. while I myself loved the kirby's performance, the heavy, bulkiness and cumbersome attachments make me think to steer clear of it... that said, this article brings out a point of "dirty air technology", and their...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    I hope the canister they have for trade in is the Simplicity S36! (though I like the convenience of the buttons on the handle of the S38)... After reading more about canisters, I'm thinking my next vacuum just may end being one! According to this list," Canisters generally have more...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    What to do, what to do!??? OK, so thinking about this.. the Kirby.. Pros... it has the shampooer! It stands the test of time! Cons.. heavy, cumbersome attachments... the emptying of the bag for dust particles.. (yes, I've got allergies)... The Simplicity, if I opt for this, the nearest...

    Simplicity for $200? Just spoke with a rep and he said the lowest for a new machine they can go is $300 by the manufacturers ruling. Here's what they told me they have... a deluxe model with onboard tools and 4 yr warranty for $389.99 a freedom for $309 and this has no attachments, but they...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    The Boss is an Upright... truth is the one I bought my son has, that one is great. The one I'm using, I found on the side of the road ... had it reconditioned and it just does not do the job!

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    First off, thank you all in advance! My sister says I'm nuts! When I go to purchase anything I tend to research a lot before buying something..I've told her that I'd rather spend time and get something that lasts rather than replacing it in a short span of time! and now I'm more than...
