Countryguy It doesn't seem to be able to pick up liquids. However, it seems to have good suction and airflow. I don't mean on levels of Kirbys or Sanitares, I mean this thing will literally suck up bedsheets, large coins, spiders, and other things and somehow not get clogged. That reminds me, I...

I found myself this weird backpack vacuum from a garage sale in this neighborhood called "Evershade Valley". It was kind of a sketchy and creepy place. There was this guy selling various prices of old industrial equipment, along with this big ol' painting of this ball of dough with dark purple...

Huskyvacs I'm not sure what you mean by "no way for them to be picked up". Why would they be selling them if they couldn't be claimed at all? Also, I've seen them for around 200+ used on FB Marketplace, which I think is a pretty good deal considering what they go for brand new. 240v does make...

RainbowD4C Kirbys are really not that hard to use. I daily drove my Ultimate G for a long time with next to no frustrations. The key is to read the owners manual, and/or watch the instructional video for it (which Kirby themselves have uploaded the ones for the Heritage II-Sentria ii on...

Blackheart I see. In that case, getting it up to my room is going to be a challenge. Maybe I could use a dolly or something to get it up the stairs. Idk.

Blackheart Good to know! How much does it weigh, also?

Asking for a friend?...

I've had my Windsor Sensor S12 vacuum since 2023, and while I love that I finally have one in my collection, buying the cheapest one available on Ebay was probably not the wisest choice, and you'll quickly see why... Now, it's a used commercial vacuum, so obviously it's seen some use and wear...

BagintheBack Vacuum smells aren't something I think should be worried about unless your machine filters badly (ironically, pre-E2 Rainbows don't filter well and have next to no odors). I've kind of just accepted that even the best filtering machines of mine are just going to have them, and that...

Centralvacs1928 I was joking about wanting to get one of those. Even if I did somehow have the money, space, lack of neighbors to complain about noise, and circuitry for such a system, I've never been as big into them as the coin-op versions. That said, they're kinda cool, but not my cup of...

Oh I'm certain that they're loud, probably as loud as a central vac unit. Though, I'm wondering if maybe I could put sound deadening around the motors/motor area.

PanasonicVac They basically are, they're wood-paneled, overpriced Shop Vacs that are much more of a pain in the you know what to use than a normal Shop Vac. I'd say water filtration vacuums are a complete scam. They're often advertised as being extremely well-filtering, when oftentimes that...

Centralvacs1928 I see, so I hopefully shouldn't have an issue plugging in one to an outlet in my room, or my dad's workshop, right? And you're also saying I COULD get one of those car wash CVs, and NOT blow up my house trying to run it?!?!?! You know what, I just might go rob my local car wash...

dylanmc Glad to know we shared the same kind of suffering. :] Seriously though, who at Rexair thought that using two separate hoses was a good idea?? I guess somebody in Cadillac, Michigan was a sadist. Also, you could absolutely use a different bare floor tool with your Sebo. There's the...

dylanmc Mine dad's D4 is especially horrible, as it's one of the ones that has a completely separate hose for the power nozzle that you can't use with the attachments, which begs the question as to why it even has an on-board tool caddy. If I were to get another Rainbow if I so desired, it...

Good riddens to the Rainbow, I say Unless you're an avid collector, I would not recommend a Rainbow (or any water filtration vacuum for that matter) to anybody. They're more hassle for next to no benefit. My dad has a D4 himself, and that machine is by far my least favorite one to use. The...

Blackheart yeah, if I did get one with a good coin box, I'd still want to replicate your rig so that I wouldn't have to keep feeding it quarters every time I wanted to use it. How heavy exactly is yours? They certainly look heavy, but after hearing your description of it, I'm guessing they're...

Centralvacs1928 That's certainly an... interesting concept you had going there., though if you had a garage, why not just put it in there, or that warehouse of a basement you have, since you already have a lengthy collection of central vacs down there. It'd wouldn't be too different. Also...

KirbyMan65 A similar fate occurred at a car wash near me. They replaced their fleet of coin-op vacs with one of those central vac systems. Those seem to be becoming very popular as of late. Obviously, I think it's a little unrealistic to want one of those. Like I said, I'm pretty sure these...
