I think these similarities come from the fact that, while the vacuum has changed a lot, the format people expect and are comfortable with when it comes to instruction manuals has stayed the same.

Basically what you're measuring is the working vacuum in the nozzle area, while the head is on a floor. In some ways its a very similar thing. Does the machine maintain good suction with a normal restriction on the system? The working vacuum gage tests the machine's ability to do this in a...

I LOVE it! I've been wondering when these printers would get good enough to actually create useable vacuum parts like this!

While you're Floor-A-Matic is quite nice... What people are doing these days is, when, say, the dog dishonors the carpeting (they'll usually break out the paper towels or so on bare floors) is sop up some of it with a paper towel, or pick up the chunks, then they dump a ton of baking soda...

Oh that’s disgusting! I figured they did that. Where people get off thinking they can suck up damp baking soda is beyond me! I see it all the time at work, sometimes you really just want to let these people have it...

I'd say you definitely want the electric hose too! The suction only hose uses the larger European standard size, but if you have an electric hose, that's 1.25in.

Cloth HEPA type bags, even if I have to get creative to get the bag collar crammed in there. Its really due to my terrible allergies. Some other collectors have complained to me about how this sort of a thing was stupid, but I explained to him that for many of us, its about being about to use...

I wouldn't worry about it, with the HEPA bags in these nothing will be making it past that. I'd be more upset about the mess in the head of the machine. Easily cleaned up though, but I avoid getting the stuff wet unless you can be sure you've washed it all out, as it'll dry kinda like plaster...

Pardon the slight gag as the words leave me mouth... But I definitely prefer the Bissell. Since this ain’t one of those awful household ones the other side of Bissell sells, it’s actually quite good. I do own one of them, but I don’t have a Rug Doctor. Had planned on getting a Rug Doctor but...

What you do, look up the number on the bearing. There should be a number on it. If not measure it. Then look this up and you’ll find many options for buying that bearing.

I love me a good Hoover Concept, this green was the first that I personally got to use, but the blue one will always be my favorite, just because it’s blue. Not just because it matches my gloves... I haven’t even tried replacing the bearings in the motor, but have always assumed it could be...

Definitely a fun machine! Some day I’ll have to find me one, as I’m definitely wanting more vintage Europeanachines.

Talked a good friends into getting a front load set in 2017, so far he’s been extremely happy with it! Mike, if my Facebook was any indication, someone LOVES digging around in year or older posts... not to mention liking them. Which brings me to this, I just went ahead and liked this post in...

I'm known to stuff a full sized F&G HEPA bag into a C bag convertible.

You can buy a new outer bag that takes paper bags and connects to that latch on bag connector.

I have a later style brown Sunbeam hatbox with the logo.

Tom is right It’s a fit all attachment. Most commonly sold in a kit with central vacuums. I’ve got a couple sets.

I felt these things were better than average cleaners, really, this is the direction I think Royal should have taken with their line. I honestly feel had they concentrated on these, and moved away from the all metal machine sooner, the brand may have remained relevant.

Sucking up water in them makes a God-awful mess, BUT they are designed in a way that it shouldn't damage the machine.
