    Cirrus cr99 is on its way!

    @got2bjenny.g Thank you! I'm planning to do an unboxing since there are not reviews of the machine on YouTube except from govacuum, which was a sales pitch review. Also @mark40511 i was told by another collector that the cr99 has a special switch that wouldn't allow the machine to run of the...

    Cirrus cr99 is on its way!

    @mark40511 My only concern would be that the replacement parts may no be available a few years down the road. I know though that the parts for this machine are very similar to tacony parts also. But it has the HEPa filter on the sides, so I should probably stock up on those. I believe I'm...

    Cirrus cr99 is on its way!

    @mark40511 I'm so excited!! I think a lot of YouTubers have known that I've wanted this for a while now lol. I have a STRONG feeling that this will be my daily driver, and my royal! I will definitely be getting the extension kit!

    Cirrus cr99 is on its way!

    It never hurts to ask!... I was looking on eBay (and have been for a while) for the cirrus cr99. For several years I have wanted a Panasonic performance plus platinum with the triforce motor in it (they made it in 3 colors and only sold them at certain Panasonic dealers in periwinkle blue...

    I have Rainbow Rep coming to my house

    @tomdawg If you have the money to spend, and it's not savings, I'd say go for it. The reason o say this (and it's none of my business what your financial situation is) because I too wanted a brand new rainbow a few years ago. I'm young, and I was going to use some of my tax return to buy a...

    Why me? I couldn't say no! Found a Kirby AVALIR for $15...

    Awesome! I don't think any of us can say no lol. Like I said to someone else, this site seems to enable each other lol, in a good way. I think I would have done the same, cleaned it up, and maybe give it to a family member. Though most of them hate bagged machines. I have given vacuums as gifts...

    New royal brushroll coming tomorrow!!

    @vexorgtr I do the same, I actually have a kitchen garbage bag full of vacuum bags (organized though). Though this brushroll is a replacement for the one that is bent in the royal at this time. I have a soft spot for power tools as well. Everytime I go into tractor supply I'm tempted to buy...

    New royal brushroll coming tomorrow!!

    Some of you may have seen my video, as well as my original post from a month or so ago about my royal 8200 (like new). I finally took the plunge and order the new brushroll a few days ago. It IS unnecessary money for me to be spending in college at the moment, but I couldn't resist (it's...

    royal all metal domestic upright cleaner

    I have the 8200! I had posted something recently about receiving my first royal, and I haven't been able to use it yet! The brushroll is expensive at times, though there are some new occasionally on eBay. I want a genuine one because the one it came with is not, it's also metal, and it bent...

    Other belts to fit riccar Supralite?

    Thank you both! I guess I'll wait for a different time. I don't want to ruin the vacuum if that's a possibility. I know I can order them, but I've been refraining from ordering anything since I'm in college. Yes I'd be spending the money regardless, but there is no guarantee when I get home, or...

    Other belts to fit riccar Supralite?

    I don't feel like going to the vacuum store unless I HAVE to. But does anyone know of there is a similar belt or a belt for another machine that I can buy at Walmart that will fit a riccar Supralite R10D?

    Cirrus cr99 or cr79 or a prolux 9000

    I haven't bought one yet unfortunately.

    Cirrus cr99 or cr79 or a prolux 9000

    Bag door seal The door may feel easy to put on or take off, but, when the vacuum is on, the bag door is pulled into the body of the vacuum creating a tight seal. You can try it by putting the bag door close to the point it's going to click into place. But before letting it do that, turn the...

    Consumer Reports no longer recommends Dyson stick vacs

    🤷 Honestly, my v7 is the only Dyson (our of my 3) that I use. My dc07 is NOS so I keep it that way. My dc65 is something I use when I clean my car sometimes. But the v7 is the most convenient cordless I've used. I know they are not recommending them (or whatever they are doing) because of the...

    Cirrus cr99 or cr79 or a prolux 9000

    Mark40511 I do think they are "sealed" as well. Or at least what the are calling sealed is exactly what the cirrus has. Essentially it just means there is a sealed HEPA filter and it's held in place well so air can't escape around the HEPa, it has to go through. Some machines just have a...

    Cirrus cr99 or cr79 or a prolux 9000

    @mark40511 I too like the look of the cr79. The cool part about the variable speed though is it also slows the brushroll down as well since there isnt a second motor to drive the brush. It would be perfect for cleaning small rugs that like to get chewed up. My parents have these microfiber bath...

    Cirrus cr99 or cr79 or a prolux 9000

    @panasonicvac I do remember seeing the Morse machines and thought to myself "I would never buy a vacuum called a Morse" lol. It sounds atrocious haha. I also remember the evolution machines because I wanted one of those instead of the Cirrus. Certain evolution machines had the variable speed...

    Cirrus cr99 or cr79 or a prolux 9000

    @vacuumdevil I think most of my vacuums end up in my collection lol. There are only a few that I do not keep in my "cycle" which has no pattern. I just kind of look at what I have and think "I haven't used this in a while" or if I'm looking to clean something that I know a specific machine will...

    Cirrus cr99 or cr79 or a prolux 9000

    Obviously very different machines, but I've been keeping my eye out for one of these. I really like the cr99 because to my knowledge besides the I mean you are up rights, it's the only upright available with adjustable electronic suction new these days. The cr79 only lacks the electronic...

    Do you do YouTube!? I'd love to see it in action when it arrives! I'm sure we all do!
