Another one I have always had an interest in was Fairfax. Faxomatic. What was their story?

This kind of got me wondering from a prior conversation. But the big door to door brands have always been. Rainbow Kirby Electrolux (Aerus) Filter Queen Tri Star. Rainbow and Kirby seem to still be doing well for the most part I see a lot of both. Aerus Electrolux USA seems to be checking...

I kinda feel like Aerus Electrolux USA has checked out at this point. You get more from Rainbow and Kirby than you do anyone else. This is sad because Aerus (Electrolux USA) has been around since the beginning of time.

Rainbow now user friendly. @ DylanMC. You do have a little bit of a point about Rainbow not being user friendly. But you just have to get in a routine. Once a month I give mine a really good cleaning (water pan, separator and underside). But just for daily I have it down to a science where...

Rainbow is a different experience for everyone. Not everyone loves their Rainbow. Or some hate them then grow to love them or get one and get rid of it. I have had my D4C since 1997. It's dates tamped 1987. It's still my daily driver and I wouldn't change anything about it. All I have ever...

Ones that come to mind. Oreck. Shark corded sticks. Really any corded stick. It sounds like a jet coming in on landing. Kirby. When the hose is hooked up.

A lot is going on with us. Brent and I own our own company and it has take off better than we could have ever imagined. We are also diversifying in a few ways which has helped us as well. We have a lot of customers in California and while the wild fires were devastating many of our customers...

I kinda look at it from this standpoint. These machines are in the back of your head for a reason. Something about these machines has your interest. I have this problem as well. But... I only have the ones that have any significant memory for me. My Rainbow is one of them. My Aerus...

So Fantom Technologies went bankrupt back in 2001. It was then purchased by Euro-Pro. Most likely any patents and licensing would most likely held under Euro-Pro. Trying to revive an old company like this would be next to impossible. The money and legal process would take years to complete...

It's funny that this memory surfaced the other day. Growing up home life was not good. I did everything I could to stay out of the house. On top of that I also was more comfortable with older people than I was with people my own age. Down the road from us was a close friend Teresa. I...

Did the ComVac ever come with attachments or was it strictly for floor commercial use?

Something that people don't realize... Is that we as a group have each other when it comes to this. A few posts up... There were a lot of reasons as to why people might not use a Central Vacuum System. No tools, no main units. The units might not work or the tools are in bad shape or...

At Kenny. I'm guessing because there are times where you need something that might be just a little easier or quicker. I know for myself if I had a central system I would have a back up maybe a stick or something I can just grab out of the closet for a quick clean up in I have company coming...

@ Nick. Everyone has a point of view Yours isn't necessarily wrong. It's just something that you view. But I also look at things from a different perspective when it comes to lift off's I love what Shark has done especially having the powered series. I would have one if they came with a...

I remember one of my neighbors who had a central cleaning system retro fit into their house. They put the inlets in the floor pointing up. This was back in the 80s and last I knew the system was still there.

I don't think it's overrated any any /means. While I'm more of a canister person and don't actually own one. I love the idea of being able to detach the pod and move around rather than carry around the extra. Cleaning the car is easier because you don't have to haul around the extra bulk. I...

I would have to ask the question of what were they trying to suck up and how much? My mom had one similar to that and never had that issue. I wonder if they were doing one of those vacuum video's for You Tube where they empty the trash can on the floor and trying to vacuum it all up. That...

Lets not forget... The famous Hoover Z. Hated by many. I actually though they were cool machines. The only problem was that they weighed 500 pounds. LOL> It was just a cool looking design.I tried one and when I tried the suction from the hose it didn't feel like the suction was all that good.

My mom had the Red Hand Vac with the attachments. I always wanted a Broomvac with attachments and a PowerPak.

I miss the 80's and 90's Dirt Devils. The original Broomvac, Power Pak and Hand Vac. Those were great machines.
