    Miele bag leakage ??

    HyClean/AirClean Information... Let me start off by saying that my S7580, S7280, S5981 and S2180 machines have only been used with the HyClean and AirClean bags since new, and their bag chambers continue to remain spotless. My S314 is still using the last of the original IntensiveClean bags...

    Miele Monte Verde S538

    Is there any way to tell which motor it has without taking t Yes, there is. If the machine has a maximum wattage of 1100W, the machine has the two-stage motor. If it's maximum is 1200W, it has the single-stage motor.

    I finally cried "Uncle!" on the garage vacuum.

    Riccar's central vacuums are manufactured for Tacony by Cyclo Vac in Blainville, Quebec. There is a link provided on the Cyclo Vac website that shows how these vacuums are manufactured, thanks to Discovery's "How It's Made". http://www.cyclovac.com/usa/

    Anyone know anything about this "rare vintage" HPPOS?

    Yes, that's an NSS... This particular vacuum was made in Italy by Tecnica, but labeled for NSS. While NSS now uses Karcher for their uprights, the design of the Tecnica product has evolved into even more of a Lindhaus look-a-like, as the following link shows...

    Dyson DC07 without a clutch?

    Vacman117... The DC07 Carpet does not have a clutch. The link at the bottom is the Dyson US online customer parts list for this machine. On that page you will notice the cylindrical roller with staggered bristles in a helix pattern including its unique baseplate. Its user-replaceable belt is...

    Dyson DC07 without a clutch?

    Wal-Mart carried the steel/turquoise Dyson DC07 "Carpet" as an exclusive model for a short period of time when Dyson was still new to the US market. I believe it sold for $379.99...

    Dysons dc23 and dc22

    This is my opinion of the DC23 Motorhead only. I have not used the DC23 Turbinehead version. Good points: - Strong suction. - Root cylcone + Core seperator works really well. The washable filter remains very clean. Bad points: - Upper gasket between the machine and the bin squeals when you...

    Dysons dc23 and dc22

    DC22 Motorhead vs. DC23 Motorhead... The DC22 is the smaller of the two and uses the DDM, where as the DC23 is larger and uses a conventional motor. As you mentioned, the DC22 Motorhead has its controls on the handle. Its Motorhead is also much smaller and less agressive than the one provided...

    Canadians: Miele S7280 + 10 year warranty = $299.99.

    The S7280 Mistral sold at Future Shop is the same S7280 Mistral that is purchased by independants. I know, because I have used the machine purchased at Future Shop and the one that we sell in our store. Independants are able to buy it to offer customers a different colour over the S7280...

    Canadians: Miele S7280 + 10 year warranty = $299.99.

    The S7280 Mistral is identical to the S7280 Viento (and the other S7280's sold in the USA). The only differences between them are the colours. The S7280 has the bag indicator, as well as the LED headlights. Speed control for the motor is regulated by a dial. The S7210 is the stripped down...

    Eagle Vac Commercial 14....Any Info?

    That machine is made in Italy by Tecnica International. They are basically a copy of a Lindhaus Healthcare Pro / RX series machine. http://www.tecnica-international.it/

    I dont think I'll EVER understand... *vent warning*

    In my honest opinion, I believe a lot of this can be blamed on the questionable marketing practices that a lot of manufacturers of bagless vacuums utilize to sell their products. When prospective buyers read something like "Bagless - No bags to buy!", but there is no mention on the packaging...

    Air Way Woes

    Even though I have never seen an Air Way in person, I am sure it would probably have an industry standard two-stage Lamb motor in it. If my assumption is correct, parts for the motor should be available through most (if not all) vacuum stores. In the worst case senario, it could possibly be...

    Todays buy

    The Miele you purchased is part of the S400 series. This series were amongst the last to use Ametek Lamb motors. Those motors are louder and slightly less powerful than the two-stage motors Miele manufactured themselves to replace them. Your machine would accept the SEB234 / SEB236...

    Miele repair parts

    Miele Parts... are only available through authorized dealers. Miele does not provide genuine parts to industry wholesalers, hence their lack of availability. If you call a local Miele dealer, I am sure they will be able to order any pieces you require for your S300 series machine.

    Hose Lengths on Miele Olympus S2120 and Electrolux UltraSilencer Green

    I am not aware of any other attachment carrier that is supplied by Miele. However, they do have a reusable Miele shopping bag that would work very well for storing any attachments. They are currently only available with the FJM and GN value packs...

    No problem, Brian! The SFS10 retails for $39.99 CDN. I have never seen nor myself encountered any problems attaching or removing the flexhose from either the curved or comfort grip handle. The S4 Contour comes with the curved handle. The S4 Momentum comes with the comfort grip handle...

    Hose Lengths on Miele Olympus S2120 and Electrolux UltraSilencer Green

    If you were to go with a Miele... As someone who practically lives and breaths everything Miele, I would highly recommend going with the S4 Contour over the S2 Contour. The S4 Contour with the better SBD450-3 combination rug/floor tool can be had at $399 CDN, which as far as I am concerned is...
