The design itself looks pretty similar to the Hoover, except for the brush roller thing. Has the upper solution reservoir and the lower catch tank with float. I do like the more convenient buttons on the Bissell. Maybe I'll consider one when the spinscrub gives up the ghost! It is nice that it...

If I don't need a particular vacuum I find and it is in good working order and the price is right, I often will clean them up and sell them.

I would personally go with any of the Aerus Electrolux canisters. I love the sidekick attachments for cleaning up pet hair on couches, rugs, chairs, etc. Aerus makes quality machines that have great suction and are generally long lasting, provided you take care of them.

No arguing here, just friendly discussion :) I think most collectors in general are always going to be more biased about certain branded products. For me, that spills over into other things like cars. Personally, I would likely never buy a foreign car like a Honda or Hyundai, no matter what they...

Looks like a fairly light cleaning of floor surfaces only (and stairs). He didn't do the baseboards, ceiling corners, furniture, etc. in those 7 minutes :) Maybe the remaining battery time would allow for that.

@honestjoe68 I agree with you, I'm saving my money for the Oreck Pod as well due to it having a "pod" to capture the dirt/debris. Our house is not that big and it will be handy for quick cleaning. I will continue to use my corded bagged models for weekly or so cleanings. The Dyson V10 seems...

Not that I ever base my buying considerations on reviews by Consumer Reports, but they were not initially impressed with the V10. But they do say they will re-test once it hits the market. For now, they do not see it replacing a corded upright vacuum...

What is the white/blue brushroll material on the Bissell? The Hoover Spinscrubs have the 6 revolving brushes, but they are a nylon-like material and they do a pretty good job of scrubbing.

Someone else is going to grab that up at that price if you don't!

The prolux takes "U" style bags, like these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Upright-Style-U-Allergy-Vacuum-Bags-for-Electrolux-Aerus-Prolux-Discovery/371272734320?hash=item5671945670:g:0HUAAOSwJkJWjWfr You can find the bags at any Aerus-Electrolux store. Others probably too. Here are the...

Is horsehair stiff enough to effectively clean thicker/wall to wall carpets? I could see on more delicate materials, but not as much on modern day carpets. But perhaps the shortness of the horsehair bristles still do the job compared to the nylon ones.

You are right. It does indeed look like another Dyson knock-off. They all seem to nowadays. It doesn't look to have any distinguishable characteristics. I haven;t owned many LG items in recent years, other than a cell phone or two. Even those were uninteresting.

I have to agree, the only decent machine out of the lot looks to be the Prolux. Did you by change purchase any of the machines at the asking price? $29.99 isn't bad at all for the Electrolux, provided it works :) The rest are pretty much junk.

@vacfan Perhaps they need to call it the Hetty Wainthropp model! :)

So, I'm curious about these Henry vacuums. Are these more along the lines of a shop type vacuum? They have a similar shape to those industrial vacuums, being round and kind of squat looking. Also, why do they all have the face on the front? Is this a trademark of some type for these cleaners? It...

I wonder if these accessories will fit your machine: https://www.luxinternational.com/tools-and-accessories/s115-vacuum-cleaner/62 The bags look similar, but not exactly the same.

Looks cool :) I wonder if an Aerus store could assist. They may not, but just a thought as they may have reference to parts. Those aren't "C" bags so I wonder if those will be difficult to source.

@vacfan1982 That's a good point. Items like push mowers have started years ago. I was skeptical about even considering buying one for years but when Kobalt came out with a lightweight mulching/bagged push mower with 2 lithium ion batteries that each run about 30 or more minutes (depending on...

Interesting. The wave of the future perhaps? Of course, not all manufacturers are going to jump ship and follow suit and I certainly don't see any of the commercial machines going to cordless models (not anytime soon at least).

I agree with fan-of-fans. The Electrolux sidekick is great. I use it to clean cat hair from blankets and furniture. Powered tools are nice to have. Which full size machines do you currently use?
