    Bissell PowerForce Compact 2112 Honest Review

    Bissell Powerforce Compact Tests I've done extensive testing on a 2013 model, which is older than what is pictured above. Bottom line: incredible on my medium pile carpet. It easily bests vacuums at 10 times its price. I nabbed it used at a thrift store a few years ago. It needed a belt and the...

    Electrolux Historical Claims

    Great replies everyone Kenny, thanks for your support. Tom, I figured you would have some great historical knowledge of who had what when, so thanks for all your "corrective" info. I just love rooting out lies and deceptions. Keith, there is a local ReStore very near me but to date, I've...

    Electrolux Historical Claims

    Or at least this Aerus store in Grove City makes these claims. How many of these are true? All of them, some of them?

    Next Kirby?

    I Tend To Agree With The Winning Formula Comment From Alan, at least performance-wise. I might make a video more fully explaining this, but it may very well be that the "Tech Drive" is the most important piece of engineering in modern Kirbys. Think about this: With the Tech Drive, a HUGE...

    Hepa bags for Tristar

    Final Rebuttals AND Video Proof 7th Rebuttal: Kenny & Devin - You guys are right, using a Simplicity Freedom upright bag with a bag topper in a AirWay or Vita Vac is indeed a bag modification. The difference here between it, a Electrolux & the TriStar with this bag modification, though, is the...

    Hepa bags for Tristar

    Rebuttals Part 3 5th Rebuttal: If you insist on using the HEPA Cloth bag by itself in your TriStar, I would suggest using it with the pre-motor filter & using the metal ring in your first video with the rubber seal to support the cardboard bag collar & greatly reduce the chance of the...

    Hepa bags for Tristar

    Rebuttals Part 2 3 Rebuttal: As far as your relying on the cardboard bag collar & the rubber seal to stay in place & not move or leak dirt, that would be foolish. Watch your "TriStar CXL Baking Soda in the Carpet Test", at 7:54 in the video, as well as in your last video, see how cracked up &...

    I've Posted My Last Video For The Naysayers I will not allow Rob's post to go unanswered but this is it. I will post no more on this subject and everyone is free to spread whatever misinformation and F.U.D. they wish without any further comment. Unfortunately Rob's post was long and so will be...

    Hepa bags for Tristar

    And so this thread continues down more rabbit holes... Les, I'm fairly sure you meant to say "carbon monoxide" (CO) and not carbon (C) as in the first sentence in reply #51. You began with: "Carbon is toxic to the body." You must know of course that carbon isn't toxic to the body as were are...

    Maytag M700 Lifetime Belt

    To Lose A Customer Over A Belt is quite foolish. Seems like your former employer is having major issues. Maybe they were out of belts and were too embarrassed to inform her, who knows? Bill

    I Agree Les But I Promised One Last Video And here it is. Along with a few others to give everyone the most complete picture I could give. Then I'm quite finished with the subject. Part 1: TriStar CXL Airflow And Suction Tests Part 2: TriStar Compact H-10 HEPA Bags by V.A.C. Part 3: Three...

    Hepa bags for Tristar

    I will create one more video addressing some of the additional concerns brought up in this thread. It's nice to actually have an intelligent discussion without some people lashing out in foul mouthed tirades periodically. Rob, That rubber seal you call a joke is a factory TriStar seal from...

    Even More airflow tests (part 3)

    Well, If The 103 CFM Rating Actually meant 103 RAW motor CFM, then maybe your measurements are correct? And yes, if you don't use a "cone" or some other adapter to mate to the anemometer, you can get wildly high CFM's. When I first got my GM8901, I was fiddling around one day and noticed that...

    Hepa bags for Tristar

    One Last Time For CompactC9Guy The manual is irrelevant as I've proven over and over. It's not 30, 40, or 50 years ago. We're in a HEPA age now and that's all you need. Some people simply can't be forced into modern times and I'm OK with that. I clearly read "The paper dust containers should...
