    As If I Needed Any More Vacuums...

    As always, awesome finds, Chase. I thought you already had a S/P WindTunnel (and a Kenmore progressive canister)... nice of you to pick that up for a friend who wants it. The Rainbow is worth it just for the power nozzle alone, you could sell that for a profit on ebay if you didn't want to...

    Hoover Quickpick Backpack

    here's the one I've seen before I don't know what brand it is, but it's been around a while.

    Hoover Quickpick Backpack

    That is a sharp looking vacuum... you guys always get the best straight suction nozzles with wheels and great swivel. Where's the power switch? Back Pack vacs here aren't very common and are tremendously expensive... I've seen another one that looks like that (has the who "sections") under a...

    What would YOU do if you were ORECK?

    David Oreck seems to have the right philosophy and I think him buying the company back would be enough to turn things around. I've never seen an Oreck in a hotel... Every hotel I've ever seen has had a Sanitaire with a shake out bag, a Windsor Sensor S12, or an orange plastic hard case Royal...

    Shark Navigator Freestyle

    Thanks DJ and Sebo... I didn't know if anyone would see this because it was reviving an old thread, but it was a fun excuse to try out the new camera...

    Shark Navigator Freestyle

    Video of Shark Navigator Freestyle Finally got around to making a video of the Shark Navigator Freestyle... I just bought a real camcorder so I used that for the first time on this video. So much better than using a digital camera or a cell phone, except I can't hold it in my left hand so I...

    Shark Sonic Duo

    Anyone seen this yet?  I'll link to a video below...  It seems to be an electric toothbrush meets swiffer kind of of thing...  It claims to clean carpet and bare floors, but you have to use their solution, so I don't know what people will do if they stop making the solution.   It looks weird...

    The All New G-tech AirRam

    The thing is they are advertising this not as a cordless sweeper or supplemental vacuum, but as a machine to replace real full sized vacuums, so the fact that is is cordless shouldn't be considered when comparing it to full sized vacuums. However, there are several full sized vacuums that don't...

    The All New G-tech AirRam

    I was in Brookstone today and noticed the Gtech Air Ram... I was going to start a thread about it and discovered you guys were already talking about it here! This was my first time seeing it, and at first I thought it was just a glorified Shark sweeper (the original Gtech is identical to the...

    best vacuum for this situation

    Thanks for the responses guys...  Tom, nice to see you back first of all!  I didn't know that Eureka had any cyclonic machines, especially that cheap, so I will definitely recommend that one to her.   She wants bagless, but she's not the kind of person to clean a pleated or  foam filter, so...

    best vacuum for this situation

    I have a co-worker that I'm kind of friends with and she has broken her vacuum cleaner again and asked me to help her find a new one.  She said she was using it and it just turned off.  She realized that she stepped on the cord when she was pushing the machine away from her and probably...

    Panny Puke fest...

    You did an excellent job restoring that thing.... it looks like brand new! Those machines seem really durable and I am glad it has found a home with someone who will take care of it!

    A face only a mother could love...

    Hey! That is my Cruiser picture! I think the Cruiser is one of Dirt Devils more attractive models actually! That's why I got it! I used it just the other day and it really is quite powerful. For ugly, I'd have to go with the plastic bagless vacs from all manufacturers that line the...

    Do Dyson's Really Rip Up Carpet? Or Is It Just The Underwhelming Quality Carpets These Days?

    My DC 14 has torn a chunk out of my carpet... none of my other machines have.... the Dyson just seems hungry for carpet. I use my Dyson on the shag rug all the time, but only with the straight suction nozzle attached to the hose. That lady should have gotten a Kirby or an f and g style...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    Wow, Wayne, this is a great deal to include the box and attachments! My Dirt Devil came with the box too and I kept it.... and found a paper bag converter at a thrift shop several months ago, but didn't use it yet... Haven't been able to try this guy out yet because the bag is still drying...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    I still have it, it is up on the shelf... I didn't think it fit in with the picture with blue royals and red dirt devils :O) I polished the machine last night and it looks a lot better... I also hand washed the bag with laundry soap and it's drying now. There was dirt caked all around the...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    the collection "Matching" Royal/Dirt Devil products.... so fun! It will be interesting to compare the Royal version to the plastic Devil version... I already have belts for the hand vac so I will change that when I clean this baby up.... Here I have the plug from the DD on the Royal to make...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    I was at a thrift store today and found a Royal Prince all metal hand vac... for 6 bucks! There were just 2 on C/L for 50 dollars for the pair and I almost considered buying them, but I'm so glad I waited. It was missing the plug, but I can find one online or use the one from the dirt devil...

    Forget the Flexi, lets go for an ORB instead...

    The orb looks cool, but I have the Flex and I really appreciate the versatility that having the hose provides... and I do not like holding a power switch on. Of course you have to be happy with what you get so you're entitled to change your mind about what you want :o) Does the Orb come with a...

    Worst trash find I've ever seen

    It went into my spam (yet e-mails from real spammers offering to enlarge my breasts or giving me the opportunity to cash a million dollar check for someone in Nigeria come right through... good job Gmail!)... I dug it out and responded, but thank you for letting me know it was there!
