    Lux 5000 -- 2 models?

    That model should have come with the old style hose,  wands and power nozzle. That holds the small crevice tool and combo brush. Just like their Classic Model today.   Bud PR-21

    Kirby carpet fluffer

    The polisher brush will not fit in the Avalir Shampoer, however, if you have a floor polisher/carpet fluffer from a G Series or Sentria, it will work on the Avalir system. I use it from time to time with mine. Just be careful as the previous poster stated. Be sure your carpet is one that can be...

    Need Opinions on the Rainbow Rainmate

    I also have one I have the lighted black one. I use genuine scents in mine, but not just a few drops like it says. I actually squirt the fragrance in. You will still have to move it from room to room. I usually put it in my kitchen and then my master bath. I have two Rainbows. An SE PE and a...

What are your thoughts and what color would you like to see? I would like to see a completely new model change and think an Emerald Green color...

    My Arrival; Is The Bagged Power Nozzle Canister Market Dying?

    If you could only have one or the other, I would buy a good canister with a power nozzle. You can't get an upright under the bed or behind furniture....I have a Lazyboy Sectional that is on a metal track. It has a loveseat on one side and a couch on the other, with a corner piece that connects...

    Sebo E3 vs D4

    I have both. I feel the D4 doesn't have as much suction/airflow as the K Series. Also my K Series is not the newest design that you have pictured. PR-21 Bud

    Help me find this please

    I read that Ebay is onto that. Something about taking into account the shipping price when they bill their item charge for selling. So I don't think the seller is getting by with anything........This seems to have stopped mostly....... PR-21 Bud

    Made in the USA, does it matter? What is truly built to last?

    Perfect PowerTeam Model C101

    I had a Perfect c101 power team. I missed the automatic controls, but the biggest problem was it had too much suction. Even with the control valve open, it would stall out my sidekick or suck the drapes into the upholstery tool. Very annoying, unless you just used it for vacuuming hard surface...

    Rainbow hepa filter question

    Shae, I don't use mine without the hepa filter, but with that said, I don't use the E2 Black much. I am using my Rainbow SE PE, which does not have a hepa filter, which is not a problem for me as I do not pick up non wettable items with my Rainbows anyway. The other thing is the genuine...

    Maytag/Riccar/Simplicity What Setting Best for Carpets

    Avalir video is the worst. I commented on this as well when it first came out. I have the Avalir and am even wondering if the ratcheting lever notches are somewhat different, from the prior models? I listen for the motor change and then lower one more notch. On the Avalir their is a slight motor...

    Rainbow hepa filter question

    I like my SE PE better than my E2 Black. It has much better airflow and my guess is no hepa filter. It is also easier to clean the water basin in my opinion. On my E2 I have found the same thing you did. Without it there is much better airflow. I thought the only reason Rexair put the hepa...

    How do you change the headlight on a Eureka 5071D?

    On the sides of your lens cap, you will see a notch on each side. Place small flat head screw driver in the notch and pry outwards. It should pop each side and then you can remove lens for easy access to the bulb. Then it just snaps back in place. PR-21 Bud

    Prototype Kirbys - Did At Least One of Them Exist?

    I think the last of the Ultimate G's were made with the speed selector switch, as they were getting ready to switch over. At least that is what a Kirby dealer told me at the time. PR-21 Bud
