I have the same model. The upholstery tool will only fit onto the extension wand. Why this is, I don't know. It sure is frustrating at times. 

People often underestimate the hose performance of the Elites. The later 7.x amp models, when fitted with a new bag, were perfectly acceptable. If you just want to vacuum up crumbs, you have more than enough suction. Sebo_fan brings up a good point; DirtDevil hand vacs were popular for a reason...

If anybody gets a chance to see this in person, could they please post a picture? I imagine the dust cup must be tiny and would not be ideal for large American homes. Very cool design, but is it practical? 

I had the chance to use one of the originals, although only at the store. The suction is surprisingly adequate; significantly better than any other cordless I've used. Using the hose for dusting and most quick cleanups will be perfectly doable. Suction at the cleaning head seems to be slightly...

I would think the brushroll is more to blame. I've noticed vacuums with stiffer bristles tend to have a greater problem with pet hair collecting around it. The style and pattern seems to play a roll as well. As great as chevron brushrolls are,  I have to clean my Aerus Electrolux brushroll much...

18 and Younger Only in "Junior" But you should definitely try posting this in the Household forum. I'm a little over a year older than you, and I'm not entirely certain how the education system in the UK works, but I understand how you are feeling.  I'm enrolled in 3 college-level advanced...

The low-end Hoover and Vax machines just look insanely cheap. W<span style="font-size: 12pt;">ith that long decade of Hoover poster, you'd think they would put some effort into maintaining their heritage. </span>At least American vacs pretend to look quality. I'd be running to your Miele...

Boy, that's a tough question. I was born in '97, so most vacuums I grew up with were produced during that time period. Plus, it doesn't help I've been using pre-1984 models as daily drivers for over 3 years now, and pre-1990 for probably 5. I'd like to say the late-90s line up of Sanitaires, but...

I've never washed my DC14's filter. It's been vacuumed many times, but never washed. I've vacuumed up literally buckets worth of dry carpet cleaner and have yet to see a loss in suction.  After each carpet cleaning, I take my Electolux and vacuum both sides of the pre-motor filter, and switch to...

For years I have bought nothing but genuine Hoover parts. I truly believe the quality is (was?) better than many generics and had no problem spending a little extra to treat my Hoovers right. I've heard recently Hoover has stopped production of their own bags and now package generics under their...

Those models have by far the most comfortable handles I've ever used. Those were great finds at fantastic prices. Congratulations. 

I know I've been pretty defensive about TTI recently, but they've done nothing Oreck hasn't done in the past. Once Oreck bought Regina (excluding the name), many of those products were carried over to their line up. For years they have been importing Chinese products, think air purifiers, and...

Remember the Hoovers of the mid-2000s, before TTI bought them out? Now that was a sad time for Hoover. Their bagless machines, which is what sells these days, were very unimpressive. Plus, with the exception of the Elite, many pre-TTI machines are still for sale. I've been very pleasantly...

It's fantastic to hear the Tempo will be made in Tennessee. That's already a favorite of mine and now it will just get better! Although, Oreck has also prided themselves in being made in the USA for decades; that's unfortunate production has moved to China. Perhaps the only reason why I've ever...

I'm actually okay with this. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just please keep the level of </span>build<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> quality the same across the two brand names.  I honestly like this Oreck color scheme much better than the Hoover. As long as 8 lb. Oreck uprights are not...

director12, it's a fantastic vacuum. I love the sound of the motor. It has a little electrical bong sound the first second you switch it on, which I really enjoy. I have to admit Hoover had a better bong sound though. The VibraGroomer I is fantastic for my carpeting, and I can easily carry the...

Thanks everyone. Yes, it does have a shake-out bag. At times the airflow can be louder than the motor. I considered trying a disposable bag setup, but I'd rather not hinder performance. Whoever owned this before certainly kept care of it; they even included 4 new belts. I wonder why they donated...

I've been think about buying a Sanitaire recently, but was a little put off by the high retail price. So I was thrilled when I walked into the Goodwill outlet last night to spot this commercial Eureka! I've seen similar models in the past, but only in grey and chrome, never orange.  I haven't...

I'm surprised you kept the Oreck so long. Oreck brush rolls spin at above-average RPMs which is not a great idea for delicate rugs. Plus with so much wood flooring, most anything you'll find in the $700 range will be an improvement. Choosing from your list, I would go with the Miele since it's...

Whoa, Fantastic Catalog! Thank you for posting that. I recognize a few of those models, but many look new to me. If only I saw these in today's black friday ads!
