Based on what I read on these forums about airflow I thought it was a Kirby.

I'm intrigued by both the Kirby and the Miele upright, but I have 3 floors in my house so unless I have one on each floor I have little interest in carrying either up and down stairs. I spent years carrying my DC14 up and down stairs and was so relieved when I made the switch to the easy to...

Impressive how the Miele composite PN without beater bars creates so much adgitation.

Luxlife On the Miele wand, while the wires are enclosed in the wand, the wires on the SET220 are outside of the tube. Likewise, on the SEB 236 power head, while the wires are enclosed, they are outside the airway/tube... there is a panel on the powerhead neck that can be unscrewed with 2 torx...

Why are all vacuums not sealed? It is a good question. To be honest, until I became attracted to vacuums as a hobby I had no awareness motors spit our carbon dust. I had no awareness that there are sealed and unsealed vacuums. I think for most people in this world a vacuum is a vacuum is a...

Since I bought a German made Miele C3 this past year I'm hopeful I don't have to worry about any of this for another 20 years. BTW vacuumdevil, why is it unfortunate more people in the US don't buy straight suction? I have the Miele C3 Alize with their TOL Airteq suction nozzle. I love...

There is a rather large selection of activated charcoal on line. 3 primary claims: whiten teeth, clean fish tank water and eliminate odor. Every different variety for sale seems to make a marketing claim against 1 of the 3, not all 3 combined. I'm assuming it is all interchangeable, but maybe...

So 2 different issues here... #1: is the filtration designed to approach 0 particle count and #2: is the machine designed to seal tight the airflow through the machine. #2 requires much more comprehensive testing methods than #1. vacuumdevil identifies the 2 separate issues, but only...

Thanks for the tip. While I don't have pets, I'm forever picking up kitchen debris off the floor and my bag sometimes gets an odor if it is not filled quickly. I just placed an order, we'll see if it does the trick. As someone else asked. curious if it is 'applied' through vacuuming and how...

While at it... HooverLux on YouTube gave another helpful one buried about 36 minutes into a 45 minute restoration video... which is to use one of those spongy Magic Erasers to scrub out scuff marks from smooth plastic bits on vacuums. One caution would be if your plastic surface is very glossy...

OK, one more tidbit... for some reason many new Miele turbo and power heads have wheels/axles that tend to hit a harmonic vibration on the backstroke, making a buzzing sound one can feel through the wand/handle when pulling the head back quickly (I've felt/heard this sensation on each of mine)...

For clarity, the original post is about how to tighten up swivel bits that have become worn and loose.

Congrats!... once you get a non-electric hose (Miele 7863553) and the enlarged dusting brush (SUB20) you'll find it an enlightened joy for above-ground dusting as well. The brush is designed to attach directly to the hose or the handle/wand connectors. For weight reduction, I usually use it...

Yes, looks like a stripped down Kenmore... no flex hose for above ground cleaning action.

Gets hot quick? When looking at many reviews by users of these machines it seems Metrovac uses designs and motors that get very hot, very quickly... can nearly burn your finger when touching the steel case. While I like a lot about these vacs, that heat issue would bother me. Not sure if...

Rather than resurrect some zombie threads, thought I would start a new one to highlight my wife's still-favorite vacuum cleaner ever, her Panasonic Jet-Flo MC-6217 from the early 1990's. This particular vac had a 10-year life in in a women's retail clothing store my wife worked at, so tons on...

I have a wall mounted VacuMaid GV50 Pro. Nice long hose 50' hose for my cars outside my garage after washing them. Has a 15A 5.7" Amtek Lamb motor with 740 max air watts. Motor is very quiet for a shop vac. The hose diameter is a bit small for a shop vac but works for me. Nice attachments...

If airflow is one's only priority, there you have it. As with many premium consumer goods, an alternative consideration is overall balance of benefits. Excellent airflow for deep cleaning of rugs, excellent suction for above floor or hard floor cleaning, light weight for multi-floor transport...

I think quality value per dollar the Marin is probably the best in the Miele line, so good choice. That SEB 236 PH is awesome... I like the low profile, headlight and manual height adjustment. With that said, if one wants to spoil themselves with both an electric and non electric setup (to...
