    self propelled power nozzle?

    Yep, that's the one! Panasonic at their very best. A very quiet, modern, durable, full-featured beast, with excellent tools, and an innovative power nozzle. I own one and it's one of my favorites!

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    So close to greatness I own the V6 Absolute, and aside from the clogging shroud that leads to fairly frequent messy cleaning, it's the best cordless product I've ever used. Still love it and use it often! Their bagless tech has seen great advances in effectiveness, but has also regressed...

    Are robot vacuums safe?

    Neato is the smartest, and has come a long way. The only Roomba that even comes close to matching the Neato's performance and navigation is the the new 980 model, but that one is far more expensive than the Neato Botvac series. My first Botvac was very impressive, but had occasional hiccups...

    Dyson Small Ball?

    They moved from plastic to metal to strengthen the handle. From what they said, it sounds like they made the cord a little longer too. You guys are right in saying that they shouldn't say it cleans as well as their larger models. The DC50 isn't even close. It did an awesome job on bare...

    The Great HEPA Debate

    Can't say I agree, Vacuumlad, HEPA bags and sealed HEPA vacuum cleaners are a huge step forward. Aside from maintaining suction much longer, HEPA bags have several other benefits, such as keeping bag chambers, motors, and the cleaners other filters spotless, and slowing the occurrence of...

    Dyson V6 Total Clean review

    Sadly I'm not surprised at all For (Cinetic) science, I cut out and added a small pre-filter to my Cinetic, over the motor inlet. During the short time I used mine, a good amount of fine dust collected on the filter. If enough people wise-up to this glaring flaw, there's going to be a...

    My Vax / TTI nightmare and now ruined carpet

    Great investigative work Honestly I'm surprised Vax is giving you money to replace your carpeting. I've NEVER heard of a vacuum company doing something like that. But clearly the machine is at fault. Good to know that despite the nice looking agitation, this is a model to steer clear of.

    Dyson V6 Total Clean review

    I sold my Cinetic but kept the Ball Multi Floor In the US, the cleaner heads on the two are identical, so performance was identical (just like the UK model equivalents). I didn't care for how huge the big ball was. It's a huge vacuum cleaner. The Cinetic's filtration system is the best...

    Dyson V6 Total Clean review

    Love my V6! I have the same model, except the equivalent model in the US has a HEPA exhaust filter (V6 Absolute). It's be the best cordless vacuum I've ever used, and a vast improvement in performance over the DC35. I love all the tools, and it's a wonderful machine for cleaning out the car...

    2000s Bagless Systems

    My family owned a Whirlwind back when I was growing up.. The bagless system wasn't very efficient, but better than anything Eureka produced for about 15 years afterward. The real problem was that the two pre-motor filters were extremely thin, and not sealed, so they let a ton of dirt into the...

    The First Real Dyson 360 Eye Robot Demo

    After a lengthy delay, Dyson's first autonomous vacuum cleaner launched in Japan last month, and the first consumer videos are popping up online. The cleaning pattern is interesting for sure. It basically cleans outward in increasingly-sized square spirals. It divides the floor plan into...

    Very very unusual Hoover

    ^ lol the music... EPIC. My initial worry was dust build-up on the extendable portion of the bin (and it remaining sealed properly). However Hoover is claiming the bin is anti-bacterial? I wonder how they manage that. Hope it's a winner for you guys over there!

    Cordless Riccar Upright!

    This puppy Looks to have the largest on-board battery of any cordless vacuum. In the video, the representative said it could vacuum for up to 80 minutes on commercial carpeting, and 60 minutes on standard carpeting. No need for two batteries when you can accomplish more than enough of your...

    Cordless Riccar Upright!

    I love cordless freedom! The ability to zip around the house without a cord is wonderful. I wouldn't want a corded Dyson Digital Slim, for instance. The Supralite/Freedom already came with a very long cord, but this seems like a variation of the series that could do very well. Bissell has...

    Clearing up Confusion on Riccar Tandem Air Uprights

    One of my favorite things about Tacony is their commitment to continually improving their products. I just found this very informative video on the updated Radiance/Synergy line. They look FANTASTIC! Looks like even the smallest qualms with the machine have been addressed completely. Good...

    Cordless Riccar Upright!

    Looks pretty nifty! Boasting a longer run time than other cordless vacuums. If this machine cleans like the excellent corded models, it will likely be the best-cleaning cordless vacuum ever produced. Can't wait to try one!

    No Love for SEBO

    Love my Sebos! Who cares what other people think? The unfortunate truth is that most companies that made wonderful products in the past, are now churning out machines that don't hold an unlit candle to Sebo and their world-class quality. Their entire line may not be super-exciting, but...

    The Emperor Lives!

    Really cool machine! Glad you were able to get a rare piece of vacuum history back into its prime. Panasonic vacuums flourished in the 80's and 90's, and it's fascinating to see the history of their development. Looks awesome!

    Riccar #1950

    Local vac shop should have what you're looking for Otherwise ebay would do the trick! I would get a genuine Riccar belt. The new belts for their clean-air models (Vibrance) will fit this. This machine takes Riccar Type A bags. Panasonic U-3 bags will fit this machine, but the genuine Riccar...
