Dry cleaning action - comparison fresh powder/used powder I like it when you see the results afterwards. Forgot to take a pic from the cleaned carpets, but the grey powder speaks for itself. My buddy couldn't believe how nice the rugs have turned out in the end. After all, dry cleaning might be...

Dry cleaning action - embedded dirt alert Speaking of deep cleaning carpets - you may like this one. Whenever I have some time on my hands I help relatives and friends with cleaning their area rugs. It's always fun to put my machines to the test and go for a real challenge, especially since...

You are right, I suppose. I have to figure a way to connect these in a safe way. Unfortunately the contacts are part of the melted capacitor, therefore I won't be able to reuse them. I could try to crimp the wires together, but they are certainly too short. I'm not a friend of soldering either...

Dear all, as we know European Eluxes tend to blow their suppressors, and I suppose that this is what has happened with my 1988 D730. Black smoke came out of the back and I turned it off immediately. After further examination and taking the motor apart, it seems as if the suppressor has burned...

so, long story short - in the past there has been drama if you dared to utter criticism on Tacony because Tom was working for them, and now it's time to hate them passionately, because Tom has a problem with them. He didn't get a raise, now toss your Primas and Wonders für $1000# your old...

1) @ralph, lightweight chinese plastics are excellent, whereas tandem air chinese plastics are not? 2) @electroluxxxx Advertising, announcing new products prematurely, spilling internal info and selling/promoting other brands while constantly referring to a museum run by your employer does not...

Oh, I missed the fraud thread - interesting. Yes, the Prima thread is nice. (btw, someone should dig out all the Kirbyloverdan threads - they were hilarious) reply #9 - "but trust me - as someone who has helped with the design of this machine from when it was nothing more than an idea on a...

After recent developments threads like these are even more fun to read: https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?27291 Best quotes: reply #7: "Will clean rings around any awful-wreck ever built. Congratulations on a GREAT vacuum. Glad you like it. The 216 Americans with a JOB...

Ok, so we went through Dyson, Air-Way, Serena and Tacony as the one and only machine to go for. Let's get back to the good ol' E-Lux before things take a different turn yet again. You could be the most modest and selfless teamplayer of all times and still don't manage to fit in - better luck...

Ok then, guys - criticizing Tacony products is not considered a hate crime anymore. Everybody get out of the closet now!

It has become an unpleasant habit to "flag someone off" a platform just because you don't like their content. That's not what freedom is all about, at least for me. I'm from Germany and we have to deal with a new law which requires social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to remove...

So, ok, you are "SO disappointed and will never buy another product from Shark", while they have actually sent you a brandnew unit of a model, that "met all of your requirements" and with which you've "been very pleased with"? Makes sense to me.

Progress was not a budget brand at all. It used to be one of the most popular and biggest premium brands for vacuums, floorcare products and small appliances from the 1930s on. Progress was famous for their powerhead canisters and uprights which were of very good quality. They were bought by...

You may want to try it out before purchasing. I have bought one for my collection, but I haven't even filled up an entire bag, because I hate it. It is SO heavy, for me it is bulky, cumbersome and a pain to use.

"Thought leaders" Quote, "Marketers know collectors are the thought leaders and can make or break a brand." Are you serious or just being sarcastic?

Well, I think it is never a smart move for a company to try to silence people on the internet. Nevertheless, you will be the one losing out on this matter. You will be regarded as the troublemaker and your boss will have no other chance than to get everyone in line. It does not matter if a man...

Well, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of his videos, as I don't like his attitude and sarcastic tendency. As he seems to work at a Miele dealership, I'm not tremendously surprised to see him push Miele. After all, it is up to you what conclusions you want to draw from the videos. Although...

Shark build quality What's wrong with the Shark's build quality? Everything fits and clicks into space just fine, there's no squeaking, jamming, breaking - the plastics are not brittle at all, so what's the matter? When it comes to filtration - the NV680/800 have HEPA, so nothing to worry...

Just love my Shark Powered Lift Away - I have the smaller version NV680. As they are not sold in Germany, I had it imported from the UK. The USP for me is the powered lift away feature - it comes very close to being a jack of all trades. In addition, I am amazed about its deep cleaning...

Vorwerk Tiger @eurekaprince, I'd like to chime in here, if you don't mind. From 1973-81 the first Vorwerk canister (VK240) was sold. It was a bulky, odd looking, but very sturdy and effective machine. In 1981 Vorwerk did a complete redesign, introducing the Tiger series. Keep in mind that...
