I have the 4 quart pan but its useless. Even before we got the Lab the 4quart pan would be full from just half the den. Last week I vacuumed the den and the steps and I think I had to dump the container 3 or 4 times. If I dont there isnt much aggitation and then the hepa is clogged and it turns...

Update: Riccar is out of the question now. I'm leaning towards the SEBO D4. What the take on Miele power heads breaking? I've heard they are unreliable. It also seems the repairs costs are high. Same goes for the bags and filters. I have seen a SEBO ET-1 in action though. It looked like it...

I just don't like having to deal with water on the rainbow. Also I have been through a hepa filter about every year. I use the correct amount of water and dump almost after every room. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. I also have a Kirby Sentria 2 which I really like. The only thing I don't like that...

How much weight does CRI carry? Is it worth it to purchase a vacuum with a gold or silver rating? I see where the Riccar power team tandem air is a gold rating but I have no clue about Riccar quality or longevity.

I have a rainbow now but don't really use it much. I'm thinking about getting a Miele or Riccar canister. What are your thoughts? Other options?

What carpet extractor do you recommend. Is the aqua mate that good?

I currently only have 2 carpet cleaners. A rainbow and a Kirby avalir shampooer. I have regular everyday tan carpet. I’m reluctant to use the rainbow shampoo in the rainbow as I can’t guarantee I can get it all out and I feel that it causes the carpets to get dirty faster. Should I pick one...

OP that hepa is way past it’s life. My hepa gets clogged and looses airflow well before it even gets to that color. As for genetic hepa... don’t get them. Your better off running no hepa then generic. The only reason to buy a rainbow is for hepa or the clean smell they leave.

Those power numbers are less then my E2 Black and it is the ones that’s rated less than earlier models. There was a thread about this at one time. I may have been the one to bring it up.

So let me just give you the 100% truth. The N95 masks absolutely protect you from the virus. They are 5x more effective than wearing nothing at all. The mask with stop the virus because in the general public setting the airborne particles are spit and mucus and they get stopped by the mask...

No you don't NEED a HEPA filter but I do recommend using one. Water does work pretty good at filtering. If not the HEPA would clog almost instantly. I do not understand why the vacuum needs back pressure. Its not a car.... It also will not suck up water past the separator if its working...

Yea, well.... umm. I have to say that I’m pretty blown away with how well the Kirby system works. It’s not perfect but it has brought my carpet back to like new. It’s more comfortable to walk on and looks more like it should when it’s new. I did mess up and use cold tap water instead of...

I should get my shampooer today. Is there anything I need to know for best technique or anything? I’ve only used steam vacs and the rainbow shampooer type extractors before.

I actually purchased the shampooer from goodvac. I got the avalir 2 model. Now I just need to find a Avalir 2 HAHAHAH

I have a sentria 2 and I want to get the shampooer system for it. It is apparently $250 from my "local" dealer. I see that goodvac has an avalir 2 shampooer that they list for a lot less and it says it will work with a Sentria 2. Is this correct and is goodvac a good play to order from? Where...

When I met my wife is when I found the worst clog I’ve ever seen. She asked me if I could fix her old vacuum and I said yes sure. Knowing it was a bissel bagless I figured small clog, filter or a broken belt. Well 2 hours later and duct tape I was done. It was clogged solid all the way from...

Those rainmates are trash. The only think they do is waste electricity and make noise. No way would they purify your air in you house. The infiltration rates are way above even a rainbow on air purify mode. It’s also a much of garbage. It’s certified to purify air in a room the size of a...

I only have Berber in two rooms. The carpet you see in the pictures is cheapest carpets from Lowe’s that I used to build a cat tower with. My regular carpet is just that, regular typical medium pile (I assume) carpeting. It’s the same stuff you find in most apartments around that I know of. It...

The fan have some tiny tiny bits out of it from something hitting hit. It’s not cracked or chipped though. No way that could impact air flow.. otherwise it would be like that on all kirbys. Emptor is fine. I checked it the other day. It’s totally clear. Is there a way to unscientifically...

I should also add that the brush roll light is a constant green and doesn’t flicker.
