Progressive Glide Chevron brush. Cleans, fluffs and grooms the carpet well!

lightweight upright. Local Orlando Sears outlet store had a stack of these new in box cleaners 50% off. So for $75 I thought what the heck. The Progressive works nicely and is very easy to manouver with the swivel neck. Very pleased.

It is a wonderfully powered and quiet stick vacuum. I found it is never necessary to use the high motor speed. Low is more than sufficient. Interestingly, the power cord is quite long, unlike Miele canisters. The combination floor - rug brush does a good job. However, threads and dust...

The Kenmore Intuition canister per the website is described as having a: "Light on the wand illuminates dark areas to help you see what needs cleaning and to avoid items that you don’t want to vacuum up". Also states it has an 8 foot hose & 26 foot cord.

"Glitz & Glamour" for sure. As luck would have it, just when we recently got a new S5, a new model appears. LOL! Sex appeal aside, has Miele caught on to the size thing? 10 or 15 more feet of cord and a longer hose would be a compelling story from a meaningful feature, everyday...

The type G bag was the answer and fits fine. The suction is very good and more than good enough for bare floor quick cleaning. Based upon the condition of this cleaner, I think it spent more time in the closet than in actual use. Any ideas on it age....no serial # denoted anywhere. Just the...

Super cool Hoover emblem

Well folks, here is the colorful Custom Handi-Vac Quick Broom! Works really well with a fresh bag. Took very little effort to get this vacuum in really tip-top shape. L.P.

Thanks so much for the favorable information. I knew I should have bought the cleaner on the spot. Fortunately, it is in an out of the way corner at the shop along with a few modern el-cheapo stick vacs that probably have more appeal. So with luck it'll still be there. Marty, you are so...

S2007. At a Venice Florida thrift, there is a very nice vintage teal blue Quick Broom. The bag is packed with someones household dirt. Otherwise, the machine is in great condition for its age. I'm guessing 1960's. Seems like a thoughtfully designed lightweight cleaner. Should have snapped a...

Bud I had a few leftover FJM bags from a previous Miele cleaner that fit and worked just fine in my new machine that calls for the GN bag. Additionally, I used a couple of GN bags in the old unit and they too worked perfectly. Now with all that said, our household deals mainly with dust...

If the model number prefix is 116 then it is a Panasonic.

For the price....the Miele is quite nice in many ways. But fall short in others. In our experience of being on our 3rd in 12 years; Yes they are refined, elegant, quiet, attractive, powerful and fit-finish is top notch. Additionally, the floor tools are wonderful. However, it would be...

Check your local Sears Parts & Service stores for this vacuum. Often they have refurbished models for under $100.

Compact / Tri Star canisters have provided great service for a friend with a very active household and an overworked cleaning person. Previously, they would replace various canisters every couple of years due to various problems brought on by abuse. Now with the Compacts (a couple of the...

Ditto on the Kirby "Odorific". The Miele HYclean bags last a long time. Still with all the filtration, the exhaust can become stale. A few drops of Odorific on a cotton ball placed into the bag and all is well. The clean scent really lasts. L.P.

Don't forget to take a look at the "park" switch. I believe the White Pearl has one. On our Red Velvet it would stick from time to time, rendering the machine inoperative. L.P.

While in Nashville earlier this week, I peeked in the window of an Oreck shop across from the Cool Springs Mall. Seemed like a good (busy) location as there is a Bed Bath & Beyond, Office Depot, TJ Maxx and some eateries in the same shopping center. Anyway; In addition to Oreck products, they...
