    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    NYCWriter... I'm not exactly sure where I saw this information, but what I saw was that there were two different outer bags just as you describe. One apparently was apart of an earlier run of machines.

    NYCWriter... If I'm not mistaken on my models and John will be able to correct me if I'm wrong, your mothers Convertible would have been model 1060.

    Are these made in USA models?

    Just... To let you know the C1404 that Rob has is an older model that had both no tool port or height adjustment. The newer machines like mine have the same hood as the C1414-900. And yes they do have the side tool port.

    Are these made in USA models?

    I... Grew up with one so they've always had a special place in my heart. It's an amazing cleaner, very light weight, big bags that retain air flow and suction well, and the tools work well for a dirty air unit and an Elite tool caddy will fit on it. Compared to a Sanitaire, on my carpets it...

    Are these made in USA models?

    Yup! Just remember the hard case model isn't made here. If you want to pick one up wait and watch the pricing it varies I only payed $118 for my C1404.

    Are these made in USA models?

    No... Not all made in China... The C1404 is still made here in Ohio, or at least was as the plant has been recently shut down. The 1414-900 I think may be made in Mexico. As for the C1404 I just purchased one I can guarantee that it is made in the US. I'll give you a link to the Amazon seller I...

    CTSooner Does the Silver Moon have power controls on the handle? If it does I would suggest you go with it. I have no idea how far your MS has progressed or how severe your symptoms are, but I could see a few problems arising with an S2 or lower end S5 series. The variable power controls on the...

    New Hoover Windtunnel 2 I Think

    John... How exactly are they very different? Other than WT technology on the WT 2, the different brushroll that accompanies WT tech, the larger dust cup, and lack of cord rewind.

    Domestic Vacuums in Commercial Settings

    When... Thinking about this one has to remember that many commercial vacuums are just household vacuums with a different cord in most cases... Hoover Elite, Convertible, WindTunnel, some canisters, and the entire Sanitaire line is rebadged Eurekas. Some do have improvements over their domestic...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    CTSooner... I have a Miele S2 Delphi, my mother has MS and the only canister she has ever been able to easily use without tripping over due to her balance problems is the Miele. Best part is she hates and I mean HATES canisters, yet she fell in love with the Miele.

    Fantom??? on Craigslist

    It... Almost looks like the logo has been photoshopped on... Or the person refurbishing these put one of the Dual Cyclonic Fantom logos on.

    wierd bissell

    It's... Just a window so you can see the dirt going into the bag. There was a thread around here somewhere from when it first came out.

    Hoover UK Brochure April 1992.

    Nope... It's not just you Jamie, I can't see a lot of them either. You wouldn't happen to be using Opera would you? I can't see them in Opera, but Safari I can.

    Is the Hoover Elite really no-more?

    Does... Anyone know if the C1404 has the holes for an Elite tool caddy to be attached?

    +1... For the Panasonic 902. Works well and will run for years without issue if taken care of.

    ABC Vacuum warehouse

    ABC Warehouse... I've ordered and had a great experience as well, but if you feel more comfortable ordering from a well known name you can get the same machine from Amazon.com for about $3 more. I don't however think you would have any issue with ABC.

    Brand new Dyson DC07

    IMO... And in agreement with Jamie... The grit and dirt left behind by a brushroll that is too gentile will cause much more wear over time than something more aggressive.

    In the Market for a PN Canister

    Delphi... Is an amazing machine... With a few draw backs. 1. Miele has no mini PN. 2. Delphi comes with no bare floor brush and I would suggest an upgraded PN. 3. Stock dusting brush is crappy, but it can be replaced with the one from an S5. 4. Bags are expensive! If you don't need super...
