    Kenmore Inteliclean upright, now bagless?

    They do make them bagless I have a Bagged one I bought with in the last two years at Goodwill for $40 while Sears was still selling it new for around $300 or so.

    Oreck Brushroll going bald

    Oreck Prices wow My Mom's friend had her Oreck Serviced at the Oreck Store in Fairfield CA and it was $189. From what they can tell it was a new brushroll, belt and paper bag and it was "cleaned up". To quote my Mom "I bet you could have done it just as well and for less."

    Oreck Brushroll going bald

    My Mom’s Oreck, which never gets used because she uses the Kirby G5 because it works better with her carpal tunnel, has the bristles coming off the brush roll any suggestions on what might be causing this to happen. It is a 40th Anniversary Edition she bought new from QVC in 2002. I am going to...

    "Light weight" Vacuum for Grandma?

    Clean Air My grandmother takes very good care of everything she owns so my guess is that bobbi pins got sucked up by my cousin or by accident because at 85 she couldn't see them on her beige carpet. Makes me think maybe a clean air vac would be better than a dirty air vac.

    Hoover Convertible 728

Most of my machines would jump or not make good contact when moving in one direction but sweeping in a different direction worked just fine. Say it jumped going north to south I would switch to...
