    California Department of Forestry and Fire wet/dry vac

    If the item breaks they try to fix it naturally, if not able to the state tag is removed and the number in the tag is documented and the item is thrown out or sold on the state auction

    California Department of Forestry and Fire wet/dry vac

    Most states label items so they cannot be taken, I work for the state and I’ve seen this done, many vacs I’ve seen have a bronze tag riveted on them

    I accidentally bought another vacuum today.

    Silverado handle I’ve noticed several silverados that pop up have the old style front handle that is recessed like a super j. I’ve noticed this enough to know that it’s not a hack thing. Wondering if anyone can weigh in on this, I’ve seen more paired with a PN5 than 4 with that style handle.

    Rainbow SRX

    Lol Yup, I mean fair is fair, these dealers charging anything over $1,500 is criminal in my mind given what they cost, I enter it with tact which I think helps. Not as bad as a Kirby but the statement that not many people wake up and say I’m going to go buy a $3000 vacuum today kinda applies to...

    Rainbow SRX

    JAG, he probably would. I never asked about pricing for the new model because I wasn’t wowed by it in his showroom.

    Rainbow SRX

    $3200 Is way too much, my dealer does not have a middle man so that helps. Plus it threw him off guard when I let him know that I know what he pays from the factory. I simply said like most things 50% markup is fine and I paid $1,200 for my e2 black

    Height adjustment question for my new Sanitaire SC688B

    Ebay eBay is your best bet or try googling it, even if your vac shop does not carry them they should still be able to get you parts for any vacuum. Mine is a s670 type b, also the generic wooden brush roll with all bristles makes it much easier to use and more effective as it has a chevron...

    Height adjustment question for my new Sanitaire SC688B

    Fix You could get the dial that has 8 positions, I have that on my professional model and could not imagine not having it, granted it was standard from the factory but you could adopt it too.

    Brush roll and belt questions

    Stephan Where did you find the brush roll with stiffeners? I just got one from eBay that showed it in the picture but it didn’t have them when I got it. I hate lazy eBay sellers that don’t update the pictures.

    NOS Hoover Legacy is Dead

    I second Rob in regards to the carbon brushes, I had this happen to a NOS DAM, except mine the wire broke on the brushes. If nothing else I have a NOS Legacy for sale. I have used it a couple of times, but you’d be hard pressed to tell.

    Favorite Color On A Vacuum

    I always thought the rattlesnake paint scheme on my simplicity synergy was pretty nice, it was either metallic brown or metallic green depending on how you viewed it. Always loved the burgundy or Bordeaux on my Kirby G5

    Vacuum Cleaner Diversity

    Definitely use my central vac more in the summer, so as to not add more heat to the house even though I have central air. Rainbow in the winter to add a minuscule amount of humidity that I don’t want in the summer, even though know it’s next to nothing. Also have triggers, for example if I go...

    ET-1 Problems

    Tekjunkie28 Have you considered a lindhaus aria canister? Very well built and the PN is fantastic, I always liked that they offer a carry handle on the top of the unit in addition to the front like most canisters.
