Understandable I’m not a fan of the tiny screamer motor in a full-sized upright either. Hoover did that with one of their twin chamber bagless uprights Way back when, and it didn’t work out so well. The machine died in less-than 5 years. I believe it was a model U900 series machine, and...

Problem solved At long last, the bag problem is solved. Ran this issue by Performance Reviews on Discord, he looked at the picture of the bags I sent from EVacuum Store, and he told me that the bags haven’t been in production for at least 10 years. Hence, EVacuum Store must’ve been...

Something I’ve noticed: I’m sure other people have seen this too, but while you typically see a lot of bagless junk in the home, when it comes to commercial environment, such as hospitals, hotels, schools, etc., you usually see high-quality commercial bag vacuum cleaners such as Advance...

True, the older model sharks like the NV-355 were easier to take apart than most Dysons, but the Dysons actually have multiple cyclones in them, where the Sharks only have one, and it’s upside down, making the air flow path even more inefficient. I helped a friend move, and they had an...

Ive found lots of interesting things in vacuum cleaners, including rubber bands, pennies, torn up dollar bills, Crayons, Legos, and even a Barbie-doll shoe lodged behind a cranny in the cleaner head of some sort of Hoover wind tunnel bagless with dual clean, I forget the model number. I...

Duly noted. Looks like it’s time to leave a bad review on the website where I got them. Not the websites fault, of course, but Tacony‘s for using such poor quality glue to hold the bag collar on.

Interesting what you will find. Friends of mine have given me trash finds over the years because they know I repair vacuum cleaners. One of them was a red Simplicity Machine, and it worked fine other than needing the bag compartment seriously cleaned out and the filters, belts, brush strips...

Some interesting points made Geer: just wanted to add a few: I have used both Dyson and Sebo machines mnumerous times in the past, and I own a Dyson DC07 currently among other machines. This being said, I can testify to the reliability of Sebo Machines here in the US. First off, their...

Wow this discussion brings back memories… I remember when I was in elementary, middle, and high school, those Advance machines were quite popular in the Idaho school district. I also remember seeing a monstrous Clark vacuum at my church. Interesting that those companies are now all...

We still have them... There are still middle-of-the-Road bagged vacuums in the US. We’ve got Oreck, Hoover with their t series and windtunnel Max Bagged, and some others. We can also get Sebo uprights and maybe even some of the Miele ones as well, though I heard the U1 is being discontinued...

@lesinutah's the problem I’ve been having with the type B bags isn’t their awkward fitting, but the fact that they rip right at the bag collar every time I use one. I’m not being rough on them either; they just don’t seem to have very good adhesive holding the fabric to the cardboard collar...

Thank you, one more question... Do you think these would work? I couldn’t find genuine Panasonic bags since they’re no longer in business, but I found these Perfect substitutes. I just wanna make sure they don’t have a bad reputation with ripping like EnviroCare. Of course, if anyone else...

Update So I’ve tried another bag, this time from the other box, and I got the same results. Called EVacuum store, and they informed me that they get them directly from Riccar, and did not send me old stock. Since sending them back would just be too much trouble, i’ll just use what I...

I might try those options. I actually bought two boxes of them, so maybe I’ll try some from the other box and see if they’re having the same issue. If it’s defective, then the defective part would seem to be the glue they used to hold the cardboard onto the fabric. Another thing I’ve been...

I hope not. Those bags ain’t cheap! The description on the site did say genuine bags, and there were no bad reviews. The other possibility is that it had something to do with me not being able to pick the package up right away when it was delivered, due to circumstances beyond my control...

So I got some type B HEPA bags for a Riccar 8000 series machine. I’ve been having an issue with them where the bag fabric starts pulling away from the top of the bag collar, and eventually rips so bad that I can see the gasket around the bag spout. This has happened twice now, and it seems to...

Success! I tried again the other day to get the Simplicity type B bag to fit on my Kenmore. This time, after working with it some, I was successful. So it appears that the Simplicity type B bags do fit; it was just a tricky thing to put on due to the shape of the spout on the bag dock. I am...

Hmmm that’s strange: If these are the same bag type as most Kenmore upright, I find it strange that I wasn’t able to fit my Simplicity bag on the dock. I do know that the simplicity ones are difficult to get on anyway, so maybe I wasn’t trying hard enough. I’ll give it another try...

Replacement link Oops, I guess that link is broken. This one should be more accurate: Sorry about that. https://hibid.com/lot/79757-285993-285590/kenmore-vacuum

Hello fellow members. So I have a Kenmore model 116 Upright that I have refurbished and I’m planning to sell to a customer, but at present I only have paper bags for it, and as we all know paper bags don’t filter near as well as Hepa bags. I know that Kenmore is no longer being manufactured...
