    Final year-vac store clean out

    Belt Side Bracket Hey Jack just though I'd pass this along, Someone designed a 3-d printed mount, if you don't have a 3d printer you could seek out a business that will do the print for you. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2522408

    WTB: Royal Powercast hose or hose end

    Bought a Powercast and I'd like a hose for it. A standalone hose is fine even a machine end is fine. If you have a spare one let me know. TIA

    Bought a Host, and an experiment

    Hmm Commercial dirt is a beast of it's own lots of grit and very fine debris from all the traffic. It's why I turn the entryway rugs over and use the vacuum to beat the grit out a few times a year. that very fine dust clogs the F+G bags very very quickly. You wouldn't think they'd hold that...

    Bought a Host, and an experiment

    additions Oh I won't be using that auxiliary outlet the host runs at like 6.5 amps and the backpacks run around 10-11 As for the shoe it seems like these machines haven't changed much I don't THINK the space between the brushes has changed.

    Bought a Host, and an experiment

    Test an idea Well when you're looking at modifying a unit you first want to make sure it's worth the time and effort. I ran that test to see if they really are able to dislodge embedded dirt before putting in the time and money. Very nice Luxlife! My plan was just to use a backpack vacuum with...

    Bought a Host, and an experiment

    I've been looking for a certified pile brush for a while and I almost had one but the seller informed me of a crushed spot on the brush, which according to what i've read would require another $140 in parts. So I decided to buy this host machine figuring I can use it for dry pile lifting as...

    Bag Change after 8 and 1/2 Months

    Horray for Hepa Hepa bags are a wonderful thing and i'll put them in any machine that can take them. Keeps your airflow for longer, with less dust escaping into your vacuum.

    Won the 90s vacuum lottery!!!

    Very nice! The lift off or plus machines were pretty good performers

    What's everyone's opinion on Orecks?

    Respectable. I think too many collectors are hard on them. They aren't the best vacuums out there but I'd take even the classic 4 amp models over most bagless machines. Now the 21 style machines are a slightly different story they're pretty good I think. I'd say the same of the...

    Ghetto Vacuum Contraptions?

    Another abomination! Here's a bagless Kirby setup I cobbled together. I still have it but haven't made use of it since shooting the video. I even got a spare G6 2000 handle to use with it.

    Ghetto Vacuum Contraptions?

    Another! About 10 years ago I mated this Kirby to an NSS pig using a 2.5? shop vac hose and a kirby fill tube. I remember it having more "cling" on the carpet but it's hard to say if performance was actually boosted.

    SEBO Balance A1

    Hmm... It definitely doesn't *seem* to be up to their usual standards. That said I think I like it's concept better than like Miele's bagless offerings it at least has a proper cyclonic system, a removable battery and brushroll. I can certainly understand why they'd want to get into such a...

    Ghetto Vacuum Contraptions?

    Found it! Years ago I was trying to find a good solution to clean theater seats and decided to try a little lux II, unfortunately it ended up clogging up pretty quickly, so i decided to pair it with the backpack vacuum. Due to the inlet coming off at an angle attaching the hose to that...

    Vanguard, another vacuum/extractor combo

    Came across this odd machine on Ebay and thought I'd share photos from the listing. It's design is unusual it seems to use bags for dry pickup https://www.ebay.com/itm/226465137794

    Looking to buy a full size carpet cleaner.

    Hmm.... I don't have a ton of experience with modern consumer grade shampooers. I will say i'm distrustful of many of the bissell shampooers simply due to their complexity. I've kind of thought that if i had to purchase one it would probably be a hoover power scrub, while I know the quality has...

    Printed Brush Strip Adapters for Concept and Celebrity

    Nice! 3d printing can be a solution to some unavailable parts. I had a local guy print off a new endcap for my dirt devil platinum force when the original broke. He suggested using a reinforced resin for it due to better heat resistance. It was called rigid 4K I love seeing this sort of...
