    Found a Dream Machine Last Night

    I've been having a dry spell lately when it comes to vintage vacuums. I was just about to give up, until I found this beauty last night... I almost fell over when I saw this Eureka had the original box top bag, and then almost fell over again when I realized it was a power touch model! I have...

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    "Next generation of the carpet sweeper" I think that we are going to start seeing a lot more cleaners like this in the industry. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty excited to see what other companies come out with!

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    All in all, I think that I'll really enjoying using this, it's incredibly convenient and incredibly powerful. You can hear it picking up deep down dirt that isn't visible to the eye. A few things that I did not mention: The wheels are all rubber coated, I always look for that in a vacuum. The...

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    Here is a photo of the dust compartment. It isn't huge, but it also isn't too small. I've been filling it up after going through my house once, which isn't a problem considering I empty my vacuums after each use.

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    With the push of a button at the bottom of the handle, the back half of the vacuum pops up with the dust cup. Emptying this is incredibly easy. I thought this was a very important factor considering the dust compartment is pretty small. Unlike several other vacuums, the dirt falls right out and...

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    This is what Shark calls the Brushroll Garage. With the push of two buttons the top cover opens up and the brushroll can be easily removed for cleaning or installation of the bare floor brush.

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    The bare floor brushroll. Similar to Dyson's, and just as effective I am sure. The bristles are incredibly soft.

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    Here is a photo of the second brushroll storage. The plastic carrying case can be easily removed if the user does not wish to have it stored onboard. I find it convenient so I don't have to hunt it down every time I want to clean hard floors.

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    The Shark features 2 speeds, one acts as a "gentle sweep" for bare floors and rugs, and the second as a "deep clean." With the bare floor brushroll installed the first speed is a lot of fun and feels effective. You don't end up with dirt and crumbs scattered all around the floor behind you.

    My Review of the Shark Rocket Powerhead

    I've been going back and forth the past few months trying to decide whether or not to give this thing a chance and I finally went for it. I enjoy buying new vacuums that are innovative and the Powerhead definitely is! There are several different models of the Powerhead, depending on where you...

    Sentria 2 Craigslist Find

    I paid $75 for it! I figured if I didn't like it the turnover value would be at least double that so I took the plunge. And thank you! Our floors are my favorite part of our house. Chase

    The Sentria 2 rekindled my love for Kirby and my house got a very extensive cleaning that day.

    Sentria 2 Craigslist Find

    I saw an ad on Craigslist the other day for a "2 yr old Kurby" with no photo and didn't really think much of it. A few hours later I had a weird feeling about it so I ended up emailing the seller and asking for a photo. I was surprised when it turned it turned out be a Sentria 2. The price was...

    Royal Prince II Upright

    Hello All, I recently found this very nice Royal Prince II upright. I have been after this model for quite some time, although I already have an 880. I intend on selling it since it's just taking up space in my apartment. My question is: Is this bag even original? It's a model 880 from 1985. I...
