    Help with Kirby model

    Is there a way I could find out about the machine to see who rebuilt it I wonder. How can I tell if the bag is repo or original? It's super fluffy crushed velvet has red cording on the top front. Is there like a sticker or a patch somewhere, something I can look for. Here are some close ups of...

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    I should have said the current model guardian platinum has been discontinued and I am sure a new model is on the way. I agree I hope they make it better. I wish they would put the legacy style wands on it instead of the tristar wands as alot of older people have an issue pushing the release...

    Electrolux Guardian Encore C134C

    There was never a brushless motor in any of the guardian models. They used to sell years back a smaller after filter that would snap into place where the larger filter would go. It wasn't as high as the regular filter and basically just had the electrostatic filter inside of it and made the...

    TriStar Closing?

    Aerus Aerus is doing just fine. They are not closing up shop. Their air purification line is being sold faster than they can make them. They are actually expanding like crazy. If you want to see how they are doing google activepure technologies. As a matter of fact some new stuff is going to be...

    Newer Lux Legacy not a sealed system

    Nothing is wrong with it Nothing is wrong with the machine. It is not a 100 percent sealed system. Where the wires come out of the motor housing is where the air is leaking. It's not like the older models that had the wire connections built into the motor housing. It's normal. The platinum is...

    What are your thoughts on Aerus?

    Aerus is still going strong with innovative ideas Aerus is going strong. Their vacuums and the service after the sale are bar none. They are easily repaired and parts are readily available. They have ventured out years ago into the air purification industry and make the best system you can buy...

    Rainbow SRX Recalled

    Rainbow e2 1 speed If I remember right the e2 1 speed in 1998 ish had an issue with their motors as well. I think they ended up extending the warranty's and changing out the motors to the gs version.

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    Check your suds screen First question I would have is are you getting a full width of suds when you pull the machine backwards?. If it's streaking then you may be not getting the proper air water ratio. There is a little screen that goes on the shampoo outlet that actually makes the foam. That...

    Fair price for an Electrolux EPIC 6500 SR?

    Price is about right I can tell you that 100 bucks for it is fair if it works well. The two on eBay that were used to compare yours to one was broken, and the other was a newer model 6500. If a vac shop is doing a complete recondition the proper way they are going to sell it for more than 100...
