    Central Vacuum-- Have I reached the Pinnacle?

    I... Should add as well, not much point to buy the PN33 unless it's coming with a kit that's a good deal... For $250 you can get better options, or for $29 more you can get the Cirrus canister that comes with the PN33...

    Central Vacuum-- Have I reached the Pinnacle?

    Yep... You've got it exactly, the first you linked is the PN33 it does use a flat belt unfortunately. The second is indeed like the PB11. For it's price increase I would hope it has a better motor, that was always a weak spot of the PB11 from what I remember people saying.

    Central Vacuum-- Have I reached the Pinnacle?

    I... Believe the PN33 is probably built by some Chinese parts source company similar to the nozzle that has a VGIII and geared belt in it. It's been around for multiple years, but has started to gain in popularity as of late. We have a Cirrus canister available to order now that uses this...

    Other belts to fit riccar Supralite?

    Probably... Won't find anything super close in Walmart, they've been really narrowing down their belt selection at least in my area. Panasonic UB7 is the common generic replacement I use.

    The new quantum upright water vacuum!

    I... Attached the video link here.. Doesn't look like it has any kind of separator, just a tube that sends the dirt under the water.

    New cordless upright vacuum

    This... Is what I've been waiting for in terms of cordless machines... I wanted something either with easily swappable and affordable batteries, or the ability to run with corded power should the battery die... I do wonder if this has any relation to the Tacony cordless ULWs as Tacony has...

    Oreck XL Commercial CC docking help

    You'll... Pull the metal retainer, the base of the CC dock goes in its place to anchor the dock and hold the dock in place.

    My New Upright Bagged Vacuum w/ Pics

    HEPA A/B... Both HEPA A and B from Tacony will fit, the collar size on both of them is the same. B however is longer in the bag material than A. B basically will be a bit long for the bag chamber and need to be folded, A is the closest to the original Cirrus bags.

    Hoover Discontinuing the Venerable Self-Propelled Windtunnel

    I... Wonder if this machine may find its way into the Royal line up of machines like with the UR30075 and UR30085 based on the Tempo and non SP WT...

    Fantom Crosswind eBay DISHONEST SELLER

    Just wanted to make people aware of this. A Fantom Crosswind 200XL popped up on eBay yesterday for $230 + $50 shipping. I've always wanted to pick one up so I hopped on it pretty quickly. The seller cancelled my order saying it was out of stock or damaged. I didn't really think too much of it...

    A NOS Fantom Has Been Spotted

    Awesome! Never been a fan of the black trim personally (though I love all Fantoms), but I'd kill for your box. I'm slightly disappointed that mine and my Capture machine both have the plain mail order box. I've always loved how "flashy" the more retail oriented boxes were.

    A NOS Fantom Has Been Spotted

    I'm... The one that picked it up. I've always wanted to get an NOS Fantom of any kind, but the last time I saw one it was many years back for two Thunders with local pickup only. So I hopped on it. FantomFan, what was the other model they had if you don't mind me asking?

    Cordless Shop Vacuums - which one do you prefer?

    I... Picked up the Ryobi 6Gal. I've been very impressed with the power it has. I went with Ryobi because with their One+ 18v system they've kept the battery exactly the same connector style. So it's backwards compatible with older Ryobi tools, and they've committed to keeping it going forward...

    Fantom Technologies Inc (UPDATE 3)

    Tom... Do you mean Euro-Pro? Sanyo never owned the name, just produced machines for Euro-Pro under the Fantom name. Now highly irrelevant as Sanyo has been absorbed by Panasonic. I doubt we'll hear anything more on this Fantom revival, I was talking with FTG over the phone about this a while...

    Black & Decker "The Collector" AC8000 Handheld Vac

    Just in case... If anyone wants one again, I found this guy while doing some browsing on eBay. http://https//www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-DECKER-hand-held-Vacuum-AC8000-NIB-Old-stock-Collector-Unused/222907367043?hash=item33e6507e83:g:xb4AAOSwNFVawZqY

    Oreck Rebadged As Royal

    I... Actually just ordered one of these for myself through work. It's a pretty basic and bog standard Oreck over all. They have made some changes though. Right under the Royal logo on the front of the bag is where they moved the pocket for holding the manual, it also has velcro to secure it...

    CU vacuum reviews

    Far from objective/fair... CR/CU has been sued twice over falsifying test results for the sake of sensational headlines. Once by Suzuki for their claims against the Samurai and it's stability (despite their test showing it was the most stable of the group tested). Also by Isuzu, for pulling...

    Sebo Felix suction

    I'd... Say buy online from a place decent with returns. Tell the dude at your local Sebo store that he can shove it, the Felix is a brilliant machine. Feel and handling wise it isn't for everyone, but it's far from top heavy in the way you're experiencing with the Shark currently. While it can...

    Hoover vs Hoover - Which one is best?

    Yes... The $44 is a black Friday deal they run every year. However the machine used to be $88, so that's still a savings of $14, and IMO a better buy than the T-Series.

    Hoover vs Hoover - Which one is best?

    Personally... I'd skip the T-Series. I've seen quite a few niggling quality issues with the ones that come through work, especially related to the canister top and a few other design choices on that revision of T-Series. A better bet in my mind would be the Hoover Rewind from Wal-Mart, it comes...
