    Making old vacuums clean carpets

    Additional options There are now battery options from Lindhaus and Wessel Werk too. It's a nice easy way to add agitation to your favorite straight suction cleaners.

    Cordless Numatic WBV370NX

    Hmm... The specs are promising for a cordless machine the given specs are 145 mbar which is 58.2704 inches of water 49L/sec which is 103.82512 CFM That's pretty powerful for a cordless machine.

    Aerus is now selling HEPA type C bags

    Took them long enough! Glad to see it though. Hepa bags are basically a must for any high end bagged machine they keep your machine cleaner, and breathe better as they fill. I do hope they also release a hepa R type too. I know Evacuumstore already has a generic version but it would be nice to...

    3rd generation broom vac (broom style)

    oh gross! I forgot all about the brum! I even had one in red a while back. They looked nice but their performance was pretty terrible they had this arc shaped airpath that really seemed to reduce it's cleaning ability. The more straight forward path of the original seemed to allow it to work...

    3rd generation broom vac (broom style)

    They're back again. Not quite as sleek as the first 2 generations but eh still kinda neat.

    Extractor pump and regulators? (upgrading a mytee)

    Just in case we have anyone out there familiar with commercial extractors I thought i'd put this out there. I picked up this mytee a while back for $50 with the intention of restoring it for personal use. It's specs were pretty weak 100 PSI 100 CFM 130" I bought this pumptec pump (new...

    Sebo D1 Canister Vacuum - Pros and Cons?

    D series Well i've not used a D1 but I do own a D4 Comparing it the miele it's airflow is in the same league it's suction is a little lower coming in around 70" vs 80" ( I think) for the miele. It's a very good choice it's seemingly well built by a well regarded company it's power specs are...

    Sebo Cordless SoftCase BP60

    That is true But there's the allure of convenience we have a few of the tacony models around work, I think like 3 of them those who have them really do like them we also had a cordless backpack or two around. I do think you're right that they won't be huge sellers due to the price tag.

    Sebo Cordless SoftCase BP60

    Price The price is high that's fair to say but when we compare it to other cordless options like the tacony built machines or the Hoover 40v ones which both seem to range around 700-800 (hoover doesn't include a battery or charger for 319) The Sebo has a few features to it that makes it a...

    Simplicity 7300 still going strong

    7350 I've had a few of them over the years. A blue one that didn't have the floor/carpet lever. A maroon one with it and now this green one. I like them they're a good solid machine with impressive agitation. They could be a little more user friendly but I'd take one of these over a large chunk...

    Tri-star brushless motor?

    It was merely a rumor There was talk of a supposed brushless motor in the "new" model at one time but it was just a rumor the motor in the latest model is a brushed JEI (Johnson) motor as Kirbylux has mentioned above. I've opened up and currently own one of the A101S or CS models. It's been my...

    The Riccar Vibrance has returned

    Cracking Hmm odd. We replaced quite a few hoods on these machines they'd be cracked around the circled area. I'm not sure if they were abused or what. I like the simplicity wheel design a little better as it keeps the height consistent despite your movements unlike the riccar design where the...

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    Holy! For $10 I would have snapped that right up! my first one cost me like 500 with shipping. They use the style P bags though

    The Riccar Vibrance has returned

    Doubtful I'm sure you probably are aware but the symmetries had issues with their hoods developing cracks over time due to all of the weight being on the base. I think the vibrance design is probably sturdier. I just saw these today thanks to an ad strange that they didn't include a lifetime...

    Nintendo Chiritori

    Ah yes I've read about those. They've been referenced in a few odd places like one of the wario ware games. For those unfamiliar they would spin in a circle until you pushed a single button which would cause it to move straight line.

    Why did early Kenmore hoses have the holes at the end?

    Safety thing? Wasn't it some sort of Safety precaution to prevent kids from harming themselves with vacuum suction? I think i've read that somewhere

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    Motor Surprise The Platinum is quite powerful I was quite shocked to open mine up to find a 4.5" motor in it. You'd never guess! It seems like they're not quite a durable as the Aerus units but it's power is beyond them and it's much quieter too. If they could combine those elements they'd...
