    Bissell Velocity bagged

    I think it's hideous, but I've never liked the cheap Bissells anyway.... the Healthy Home and some of the older ones are almost tolerable... Even the Bagless Velocity looks better.... They just stuck a bag on a Bissell Powerforce... Eureaka and Panasonic seem to have done similar things, so...

    Bissell on HSN

    I thought Dirt Devil had something like that years ago, but I could be wrong.

    Black and Decker Automobile Vacs

    I don't know about finding any princes, but if you come to Orlando, we gotta meet and have a vac play date :o) I worked at Disney when I was 19, but haven't been much since. I have a friend who works there who offers to get me in for free sometimes, but once you've worked there, the "magic" is...

    Black and Decker Automobile Vacs

    If you find that Black and Decker Power nozzle available anywhere, please let me know. I ordered that along with the shoulder strap and the company I ordered it from took my money and then told me it was no longer available and they'd have to give me a refund. I was so mad! Those are really...

    Shark has a new Vacuum line

    I saw those and thought they looked interesting. I can't say that I like Shark or Euro-Pro, but I am still really impressed with my Shark Navigator Freestyle cordless... they seem to be like Kia/Hyundai... they realized that they needed to step it up a little if they were going to stay in...

    Black and Decker Automobile Vacs

    They make a Black and Decker Flex that is corded that will hook up to the lighter... I haven't used one, but I have the cordless re-chargable version. I really loved mine when I first got it, and still take it out to the car when I just want to do a quick pick up. I can't speak to the car...

    In the market for a steam mop,Or a floor washer...

    I have a Floormate and a Haan Steamer... I do not like the Floormate at all. It is loud and you have to clean the dirty water tank when done. It just seems cumbersome and doesn't seem to clean very well at all... if you have a dirty spot on the floor, you have to hold the machine's brushes...

    bank vault vacuum cleaner the same as wertheim

    I rather enjoyed the part where they said that some of the most expensive vacuums on the market can't do bare floors... then showed a Dyson and a Bagless Bissell... I wasn't aware that bagless Bissells were the most expensive uprights on the market.... I guess I was confused.... I thought that...

    My gorgeous $10 find

    Thanks Kyle.... I thought the spots on the front were rust or something, but I guess they were just dirt. I thought sure you re-painted it! Does it just have a big rocker switch on handle like my S/P ESP does? What about it was automatic? Do they mean height adjust or what? :o)

    My gorgeous $10 find

    Kyle that is an awesome find.... how did you match the paint? Or did you just use a similar color? Do you have a picture of the switch and handle? I've never seen a square handle before.

    my miele vacuum

    The Miele looks great and it's really nice to see the Hoover beside the Miele since it is an obvious imitation... It's been said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. There is no doubt that the Miele is a a better quality machine, and I'm glad that you have the upgraded power nozzle...

    My Electrolux Renaissance went crazy!

    I've heard the hoses go for as much as 300 dollars! I paid 25 dollars for my Renny on C/L so I'd hardly spend that much to replace the hose... I accidentally sucked up water with mine (vacuuming a dark bathroom and didn't know the was water on the floor until I heard gurgling in the hose and...

    Sebo's for sale

    That Stealth model is beautiful, I'd never seen one like that... I also really liked the video you made showing your dirt meter.... where in the world did you find a Sebo dirt meter?

    Kenmore Dura Power Model 216.37045800

    Are the plus and minus buttons on the handle for the height adjust or motor speed?

    Kenmore Dura Power Model 216.37045800

    Thanks for sharing.... it is fascinating, though I think they are hideous! LOL Apparently that model was made to compete with the dirt devil reaction? Your substitute handle release pedal actually looks pretty good on there.... now if it had been green or blue or something, it would have...

    Electrolux Diamond Jubilee bearings

    I don't either.... I don't know what I was thinking when I said that.... it's like 30 seconds, maybe 20, but way too long.... it still works properly and the suction is ridiculous, I just don't like that extra noise after I turn it off....

    Electrolux Diamond Jubilee bearings

    I meant wind down! Sorry.... it just takes longer that it should and doesn't sound right! I forgot to proofread!

    Electrolux Diamond Jubilee bearings

    Hey guys... I was using my Electrolux Diamond Jubilee tonight and it would down for about a minute and a half after turning off, so I assume that is the bearings... I've never gone into an Electrolux canister or serviced bearings before, so I thought this would be a good time to learn.... does...
