    Bagged Vacuums are By far the best.I dont get it why have a Vacuum that you haved to empty every room you clean and the cloud of dust and then the filters.I had a Dirt Devil Cruiser Vacuum Cleaner cauz we only get powerdrive Vacs.It was terrible I would do half the room and the filter was...

    Has anyone seen the new Oreck lineup?

    My Oreck is Old like a 96 model but it still works and the one thing I like about them is they way my carpet looks afterwards.I was told that the 21 year warranty went because how many folks keep and Vac for that long.That was a good point but I had no idea the Iron and other things went...

    hoover Power Drive Supreme!

    I like them also they are made alot better than the Windtunnel power drive Vacuums.It seems to me that most Direct Air uprights clean carpet better than the bypass machines that are out now.The Scheamtics to this machine is alot better,then as the years pass you can see the shortcuts in build...

    Need info on a 8pound Powr-flite/Bissell Prolite twin fan

    That is what burns me up.I was thinking that it had the same motor as the Freedom since it was 5.5 Amps and that's what the Website Tech page said also.Well after I got it and saw 7 Amps on it I called Tacony they told me that has not been updated yet and when I looked further it showed the...

    You are so Lucky..I have been in a Nightmare with that model.I bought one off of Ebay he said the power drive worked great but the Pinion gear and Axle gears were striped.Its next to impossible to get the Axle gears off without warping it.Thoese Pins are tough and I destroyed one Axle.I ended up...

    I figured it out.I work on so many D.C. Projects I stay in that frame of mind.This New Motor has twice as many commicating bars on the rotor than the old one.I have never used a Johnson motor before I know there used in Frigidare dishwashers.I hope that is not a bad sign for me.This old motor is...
