I've had my Dyson DC17 Absolute Animal for 2 years now, having purchased it off eBay in November 2021. Although there's nothing really wrong with it, there is a major annoyance that I've been meaning to address. The annoyance in question has to do the brush roll. The original one had worn down...

This belt was included with my 10 amp Fantom Fury as an "extra belt," but it's clearly the wrong one. So rather than let it go to waste, I've decided to give it away, just for the cost of shipping. Is anyone in need of a Eureka RD belt? If so, feel free to send me an email.

panasonicvac Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I will be pulling out this Fury every once in a while to make sure it still works. As a matter of fact, I do the same thing with my retro game consoles, and they all work great still. Today, I started to refurbish my Fantom Fury. I washed most of the...

Addendum + Test A few things that I forgot to mention in my OP: The headlight does indeed work; it presumably has the original bulb. The bumper is a little bit loose on the right side (looking at the front of the vacuum). The sticker on the wand that says "squeeze to release" is well worn. One...

My ultimate vacuum cleaner dream has finally been fulfilled. I bought this 10 amp Fantom Fury off eBay last week, and it came in yesterday. However, I had to work an extremely busy shift at my job last night (ugh), so I didn't get to unbox the vacuum until today. I have been after a 10 amp...

I have one of these! I bought mine used off eBay for $188 with free shipping back in November 2021. I mainly did so as revenge for my dad suddenly selling our Dyson DC07 that was formerly my mom's (he was confused as to why she foisted it back to us after I surprised her with a new Hoover Air...

Back in the early 2000s, I owned one of these in light gray, which had a Performance Indicator. It was the first vacuum that my parents bought to use in our then-new house with white wall-to-wall carpeting. Ditto what Dustin said about it. My mom unintentionally broke the belt one day in the...

This morning, I received a promotional email from Bissell regarding an all-new carpet deep cleaner. The Revolution HydroSteam Pet produces actual steam, something I have never seen on a consumer-grade carpet cleaner before. This gives a whole new meaning to the commonly-used term "steam...

At my work (private, resort-style country club set within a master-planned community), the porters use a Bissell BigGreen Commercial ProCup bagless upright for cleaning the carpet and rugs throughout the building. This particular vacuum is essentially a commercial version of the original...

The other day, I was looking on Amazon for vacuums just for fun, and noticed that the Hoover WindTunnel Max Bagged (UH30600), which is normally a $200 machine, has really gone up in price, to nearly $300! I thought this was quite a ripoff for a budget vacuum on Amazon. Has anybody else become...

huskyvacs I forgot to mention in my OP that before cleaning, you do have to turn the machine on and let it sit for a minute or two for the heater to warm up. Although the heater switch is labeled "heater" on the machine, the manual refers to it as the "SmartTemp Switch," which I thought was a...

I'd like to discuss a line of carpet cleaners that I've always been fascinated by: the Bissell ProHeat, specifically the ones produced from the early to mid-2000s. They were primarily made out of glossy black plastic (other colors were available), and have a hood design that I always thought...

I actually recall looking at this vacuum quite a bit on Electrolux's website, circa 2008. I thought that the design and concept were really cool, but now I can see why this vacuum was short-lived. Blackheart, the brushroll design looks very similar to the one used on a clutched Dyson, which...

I just heard about this on the news. Yesterday, Bissell recalled certain models of this cordless (CrossWave) vacuum due to defective batteries that can overheat and smoke. I figured that this would be worth a post in the interest of safety for anyone who owns one of these machines...

panasonicvac Looks like I will be staying away from both Dyson and Shark. The cordless Oreck you mentioned was a Christmas present that I received back in 2020. I thought it was a pretty solid machine (made in the USA) that did a good job on carpets. I honestly don't hate bagged vacuums; I do...

Interesting choices... I may have to go with a Kenmore. However, I also found a couple other candidates, which I'll post links to. Dyson Ball Animal 3: https://a.co/d/6rWfVYh Shark Rotator Lift-Away with DuoClean PowerFins: https://a.co/d/7MvimIr Thoughts on these two?

Blast from the past! I have been looking for a decent video of this particular SteamVac; my grandma owned it a long time ago, and my dad borrowed it from her around 2002 (when I was 8 years old) to deep clean the white carpet in my then-new house. So I have quite a bit of nostalgia for this...

My Dyson DC17, which I bought used off eBay last year, has been a solid machine, but I've been thinking about replacing it with a brand new, bagless upright for reasons which I'll explain shortly. Here's my information: <ul> <li>3200 sq. ft. house with laminate downstairs along with some...

I bought this vacuum on Black Friday for only $150, and gave it as a Christmas present to my mom yesterday, for her small one-bedroom apartment. She had been wanting this particular machine for quite a while, and was pleasantly surprised to get it. Although she doesn't have pets, I have a dog...

panasonicvac It's funny you mentioned the Infinity Navigator yesterday; I had been contemplating posting about another rare Shark - one simply called the "Infinity." The Infinity was released in late 2006 and featured 24-cyclone technology. I myself have never seen one in person, but my late...
