Hyla Mark, I want to clarify that I am JUST comparing the Hyla power nozzle to my newest Rainbow with side belt and glass reinforced belt system. The Hyla might work very good on wall to wall carpeting and where the user DID NOT have to change the type of cleaning but on my cut pile carpeting...

Hyla Here is the difference in the wands. I prefer the 2 piece electric direct connect set up.

Hyla Here you can see on the back side the Rainbow has a quick release electric wand set up. Also prefer the padded top of the Rainbow with the step on handle release instead of the small release pedal on my Hyla.

Hyla Mark, You said it "supposed" to be good. Here is the problem I have with that power nozzle: (1) the brush opening has no brush guard to prevent the edge of the carpet or rug from being sucked in or grabbed and stalling the brush roller. Over and over again mine stops and you have to up...

Hoover 'It's time to rethink cleaning" More disposable plastic junk. It even looks cheap in the picture. I would not even bother to carry it home if it were only $29.00. Very sad to see what they are offering. Somehow I can't imagine that lasting after a few drops down the stairs or even a...

Just noticed that Hyla has added a new video users manual to their web site. It shows the new updated shampoo system. I like my Hyla but do not like the power nozzle or the short electric hose. Somewhat similar to my older SE Rainbow but has less power than the new Rainbow and the power nozzle...

John Long visits Pittsburg That is one nice Hoover Citation. I like your sofa and dishes too. Just what I would expect from a fellow Buick driver. John looks so natural with a Hoover in his hand!

Hover Dail A MAtic Day Kevin, Thanks for posting the ad. I have NEVER seen any ad with the exact colors of the machine. Of course I wonder WHY in the heck would they have ever thought to put a brownish/orange color with a pinkish beige and think it looked good? Of course NOW is do like it...

My Dilema- Looking for a new cansiter Panofan, I just bought the Panasonic a few months ago. I liked the machine and tools BUT it leaked a LOT dust all over the interior with BOTH the regular bags and I then bought the hepa bags with the very SAME result. It seemed to be where the bag attaches...

Miele Solaris Update Brad, The wonderful thing about Miele is that is keeps it value. I sold mine for almost what I paid for it on Craig's list. I will also say up front we had a great dealer, who was helpful with any questions I had about my purchase and we have several nice vac shops that...

Miele Solaris Update Hans, I agree with you on all the points. My Miele was very powerful and quiet but the short hose and attachments were almost embarrassing for a machine of it's price range. I liked the power nozzle but the wand was heavier than the canister itself and very tiring to use...

Hoover Dail A Matic Days Fred, Now we have Sister vacs! Your's is the only other one I have seen with that color combination. I do remember seeing a Convertible once that had the same brown base, handle, cord, trim with the bag door color used on the on the hood. It was one with the light...

Hoover Dail A Matic days Not sure why but this has always been one of my favorite canisters and the only Hoover canister I kept when I sold off the vacuums last year. It is light weight, tools on board, came with floor brush and I like the deluxe wands and power nozzle. I love the color...

Hoover Dail A Matic Days Here is a shot of the cover. Not much leaking dirt here either. I can see a little in the corners but to me it seems very good for it's age.

Hoover Dail A Matic Days Fred, I agree with you. After all these years I have grown to like the strange colors. I got my Spirit out today and just look at the difference in the amount of dirt leaking . Very little from my Hoover Spirit. I did notice it has a GREEN Hoover bag and the Dail A...

Hoover Dail A Matic days Eric, That is the exact color the bag door has always been. In fact the machine that was demonstrated at the Hoover dealer's was all one color ( very light beige-brownish) so when they got it home and unboxed the machine they were surprised that it was such a strange...

Hoover Dail A Matic Days John, I know you are right and I know for a fact it did NOT used to do this as over the years I would borrow it once in a while and always changed the bag BEFORE returning it and I don't remember that red filter at the bottom ever collecting dirt on top. I know we have...

The New Aerus Brad, Thanks for sharing the video. Good looking machine

Hoover Dail A Matic Day Hershel, I had to go look on the machine. It is model #1176. Parents bought it new back in 1972 and it was bought from a Hoover dealer. As Dan said on his thread, I think people used to take better care of an appliance years ago, not expecting to replace it every year...

Hoover Dail A Matic Day Fred, That is a great idea. I will give that a try. Just didn't want to ruin the old girl. I even found mom's tool set for the machine. Great to see the metal agitator and those metal beater bars with soft brushes. Dan, Now don't be silly, this is a vintage machine. I...
