    My Extensive Collection Part 7

    Look what I got to play with today.... Don't mind my large rear in the video... ;-) Lindhaus LW46 Electric... I wished that I had taken more videos before I delivered it to the customer. This unit is slick... It is easier to maneuver compared to a power-flite scrubber and it is so quiet...

    Panamania, In response to your email, the panasonic doesn't sell because we offer better brands that are easier to service and protect the independent retailer.

    I think the Kenmores come with the powermate where the panasonics have the turbo tools?

    But this smell thing does concern me. I guess when we service vacuums we disassemble and sanitize them. What kind of smell are you guys experiencing?

    My Extensive Collection Part 7

    I'd definitely say the s7 is not a vacuum for everyone... I'll also say when I sell an s7 I make sure everyone knows that it has a heavier handle weight than most vacuums and I also make sure they know not to push it like a traditional upright. I make sure they know to someone glide with it and...

    Miele White Star - repair or replace?

    Miele typically designs things around a 20 year life expectancy... Is it worth justifying a few hundred dollars for a few more years, or spend double and get another 20 year unit?

    I by no means am trying to sell you on anything, just a disclaimer I guess.. Anyways, have you tried the S8 Mieles? The UniQ? I guess I like the new models better than the older models. They feel more refined. I'm in love with the S7 as well.. This is coming from a guy that bleeds tandem-air...

    My Extensive Collection Part 7

    What is interesting with the lindwash is how it does on sealed concrete .. We sell them primarily for entrance ways with the salt/water/snow, but a few restaurants bought them for kitchen cleaning and two green houses use them on the sealed concrete. It's kinda cool the product that is out...

    The lindwash would be good for your garage etc, or big open spaces, but like was mentioned earlier, it is awkward using around a lot of furniture. I've had a prima for over a year... ... There is a lot left to improved.

    My First Riccar!

    Tacony agitators are finicky when it comes to balance. If the machine will get regular use, I'd replace them before you have to replace the bearings on it. The new agitators like this, in the vibrances, carpet pros, fullers, symmetrys etc are horrible for balance when a grouping of bristles is...

    My First Riccar!

    If it is still cutting off when you use it, there is a felt bushing you can put in place to keep the tension on the micro-switch for the handle. The linkage for the switch should be fine but I bet the handle worked loose or the bosses for the screws are giving out. That cord should be replaced...

    My Extensive Collection Part 7

    Dan, Do you have a lot of hard/bare floors? Or are the floors in your garages finished/sealed? This might be up your alley.. I've had pretty good luck with these. Though I carry the Pro versions.

    The crimped brushes are either a vinyl or poly that is crimped instead of straight so they have more give and aren't as aggressive.

    My Extensive Collection Part 7

    Well, since I sell the things, its something I can grab off the shelf or out of stock and just take over for a quick gift... I work 7 days a week so when I have time off its not usually spent trying to find gifts for people, just so I can make an appearance. I'm more of a .. to the point kind...

    In one of his other posts he said how much she liked the bag... I'm pretty sure he would know his friend more than we would... Is it necessary to always pick and ridicule ?

    Riccar Central vac PNs

    I didn't read that you had frieze carpet... How long of a length do you have? I'm wondering if the standard vinyl wouldn't be too aggressive for your carpet.. I know I put the crimped brushes in Radiances when I find out the owner has a frieze .. When we sell canisters to people that have...

    Riccar Central vac PNs

    August of 12, its the 1602 unit of that model type. (The american made units have a 4 digit date code.) Are these the blue/white crimped brushes on the 3 strip aluminum agitator or the dark blue/black vinyl stiff strips on the 4 strip 2 row steel agitator? If they are the dark blue/black vinyl...

    My Extensive Collection Part 7

    kirbyloverdan, I was just going to message you to see if you had a picture of the box for the Diamond edition... It is very disappointing that they didn't change the box from the Ultimate G. The diamond edition is my favorite of the G series. It is one I can actually use on scatter rugs! I...

    Help me decide on a new Vacuum cleaner please

    If I'm not mistaken, the Prima and Wonder aren't even out for sale yet... I mean I've had a prima for a bit over a year but mine was a prototype.
