Mark, thanks for the information! Johnathan

So I never have owned .... a Rainbow or Thermax machine before. I have always had either dirty air or clean air vacuums with tradition bag and filter setups. In particular, what is the Rainbow like? Is it an OK machine or better than that? It looks like there is a lot of preparation...

Brand, brand, give me a brand ... Ok, I know we all have our brand preferences. The best vacuum that you can find lightly used, sometime new, cheaper than a WalMart Dyson, is the Aerus Lux Classic. I bought mine, new, five years ago for a little over three hundred dollars on Ebay, when the...

I agree, make them work for the sale on that one. It is a good machines, but that is what they go for on Ebay.

Thanks!!! Thanks everyone for the great feeback and information! Brian, thank you for the link to your thread -- that was a great read.

Honey, guess what I bought today ... I think Trebor makes an excellent point about advertising. Bernays' book is a wonderful read and really speaks to the unseen and often times artificial demand that is created by advertising. It may not seem fair, people who sell products might be greedy...

The faithful. I could not think of a better mix -- people who appreciate Mercedes-Benz and also vacuums. All is right with the world today.

Can anyone give me any feedback on the Hoover "Wind Tunnel" bagged, self-propelled vacuum? Is it decent -- not looking for investment grade or a high end machine, just want something to play with. Is it noisy? Does the drive work half-way decently? Back story: Two months before I was born my...

Those are really two cool canisters! Great find.

I still have my older Oreck and love it, but I have read about this problem and agree that it is a big concern for people like me with allergies and asthma. Let's face it, manufactures feel a need to create hype, but in practice the machines rarely live up to the hype. Bagless is never...

WOW!! Great find. That will clean up really nice and only a twenty spot!

On a really separate note ... Bimmer740 is correct to point out that we all have strong opinions and brand loyalties, but there really is no need to get bent out of shape and start posting a bunch of petty stuff. I really think this site is a wonderful place for comradely (how many people, as...

On a separate note ... I wanted to address something in a separate post. I think most of you already know this from reading your posts, but I think it is really important to clean your vacuum properly. I have often wondered why high-end manufacturers haven't placed some type of "non stick"...

Thanks everybody!!! Hi Everybody, I sound like Dr. Nick. Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone of you for your great responses. The information was wonderful and very informative! Johnathan

I am pretty sure that is the only way a Dyson is a good deal -- if it is free. However, kudos on the find!

Is it necessary, no. Is it one of those cool things to have -- in this case if your house has a central vacuum -- yes. I can remember how my parents just belittled people with power windows, locks, seats, etc. in their cars; then they bought a car that had the power accessories and ever car...

OK, so does anybody have the word on Miele canister vacuums in terms of quality and durability? I just read an interesting thread on the waning quality and innovation of brands like Kirby, Aerus, Tri-Star, etc., and I would like to know if Miele is in the same tailspin.

Hi Everyone, I know we have had a few threads on vacuum bags, but I have a questions about bags for Aerus/Electrolux canister bags specifically. Of course there are the Home Solution bags from Aerus, generic bags and these new HEPA bags from Perfect Vacuum (the Chinese company that builds a...

A few too many? Ok, probably not several hundred, I can't even think of one, but it sounds so much sinister having an enemies list. I know, I just put all the people I know who purchased Dysons on the list instead!

Superman I like the Kenmore canister and the wagon! Hey, isn't the sedan verson of that Ford the car Lois Lane was driving in the first Superman Movie? I believe it was red and the car fell into a cravas created by an earthquake.
