    Found a Drilux

    At pr 21 Capture is a very fine powder that clogs bags easily, just a heads up. I have found it does give a little bit bet results than the saw dust based host type. I did my grandmothers formal living room which is 100% wool wall to wall with the oreck dry cleaner which is identical to...

    home and garden show, Aerus, Beam and Vacuflo exhibitors

    It's too bad lindhaus doesn't make the two row brush for the 14" models that's offered on the 12". The difference is night and day. As far as the guardian platinum hoes I sometimes use my tristar PN, as Tom G pointed out in one of his posts it digs much deeper since it has the weight of the...

    Torn between Sebo D4 and Simplicity Moxie

    While I agree your home is the best place to show the new machine, most sales people don't explain the maintence of a machine. I think the biggest offender would be rainbow sales staff, they just want to sell the product and if they said you need to empty the water often during cleaning and...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    Yes... Very annoying with dust going to the center tube when you empty and going to the motor if your a regular consumer that doesn't notice that

    self propelled power nozzle?

    Jet Flo Dual Sweep It's what they called dual sweep, I have one. There is a switch down at the elbow that when pushed forward it spins the brush forward and when you pull back it revolves the brush roll backwards. They didn't really deep clean well but should get the stuff you were talking...

    lindhaus canisters

    Loved mine but... I've had the elite and platinum, two of the best canisters I've ever used esp when you have the two row brush roller that is standard in the platinum. But... The handle design that is used on other comanies like Bosch and pro aqua to name a few gets in the way when trying to...

    Selling My Collection

    Agreed In the long run it may be worth the effort of doing individual sales, you could easily get more money than what you're asking by doing that. But what's good for one isn't always good for another, life happens and presents challenges so what ever works best for you.

    Torn between Sebo D4 and Simplicity Moxie

    The one reason I won't own another sebo canister ( might seem dumb to some) is the power nozzle switch is annoyingly stiff to press and just down right awkward. Even though the brush strips might be half the price of a sebo brush roll nothing compares to the convenience of removing a sebo...

    Torn between Sebo D4 and Simplicity Moxie

    You can get the sebo with a wider head called et-2 a good dealer would have mentioned that

    Aerus Guardian Platinum burning smell

    Yea I get a call yearly asking to come take a look at my vacs, I always decline. Aside from this motherboard issue I've never had a lux that needed repair aside from new brushrolls which I can do myself.

    Electrolux Prolux - Model CB2000, Etc.

    I know that they were sold at the dealers, maybe some hospitality catalogs offered them if they had a partnership with Electrolux. Prolux was just what they called their commercial line, any regular consumer could buy the commercial machine if they wanted. I remember my lux dealer now aerus...

    central vacuum sales myths

    To clean my VacuFlo screen I just take a regular vac to one of the inlets, the reverse airflow dislodges anything on the screen and then just go down and empty the bin, not messy at all. I'd like to think the reverse airflow helps to dislodge any fine dust on the fan blades. Not that I'm really...

    Aerus Guardian Platinum burning smell

    Tom That's what I was leaning towards. My local aerus dealers are either inept or the one where I got the machine the mechanic is down right ignorant. Was thinking of sending it to Ray Saterwhite in VA. With the repair being so quick maybe I'll just do the watch and wait. Still love the brand...
