    Questions on cleaning tile/non-carpeted flooring.....

    How the "mighty have fallen" It seems like a couple of years ago those were so reliable. Times change. And Bissell with things like the Cross-wave is a real innovator.

    If it is the insert fitting, it's easy to change and not expensive.   Finding out exactly where the water is coming from is key.     If it's coming from between the fittings than the problem is with them.   If the water is coming from near the clamp or the hose than the fittings are...

    Panasonic vacuum looking to buy

    Have you checked Ebay? That would seem like the easiest source. I hope you find what you need. We've all been in that spot looking for a certain machine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-Panasonic-Jet-Flo-Vacuum-MC-771/383716582063?hash=item59574a62af:g:c88AAOSwqqNfXA6C

    $1 Hoover Convertible

    While I don't wish any harm to any animal, humans have allowed these poor creatures to over populate and now they are an exploited pest animal. At the very least I hope it is fixed. At least there was food, water, and liter box in the wire floored cage.

    $1 Hoover Convertible

    Well, by default, humans make an ASSUMPTION of smell based on picture. Experience proves that being open to a face-to-face experience that may be different than our initial expectations gives us a realistic truthful situation that may be worse or much better than what we originally expected...

    Adding Sound Insulation to Central Vacuum Motor?

    Well you are in Canada.  Canadians have many more homes with CVs than us pitiful people in the U.S.  It's just one of the aspects that makes Canada a desirable country.  People speaking fluet English is another positive attribute.   Surely there are distributors there that would be...
