Even Host Dealers... cannot buy the machines for rent, they are leased at a cost of 130.00/yr with all maintenance and repair costs, including shipping absorbed by Racine Industries, the mfg of Host

Carpets soil from the top down... If they are dirty all the way to the bottom of the pile, repeated applications of bonnet cleaning will wick the dirt up. It may seem that the Host would work with the Orbiter, but it just scatters it. The Host requires the vertical movement up the length of the...

Royal also produced machines labeled... Silver Knight (or something) for Thompson, mfg of the Silver King,  Certified, mfg of The Pile Brush,   Reliable, a vac shop brand, I am sure there must have been others, not to mention the famous Electro-Hygiene.   There was also a brand, Good...

The results would be different... no question. But don't forget, if going against a canister machine, all the suction seals and the hose would need to be replaced as well.  The direct-air machine with rug-lifting capability is far more easily and quickly restored to a level of dirt-removing...

My point about the side by side test was that you actually can get all the dirt out with a Kirby and a dirt meter, then clean next to it with something else the same or more strokes, and pull dirt behind that with the Kirby. Fair?  Depends on how you look at it. Unless you use and maintain the...

Director 12... That's rather an unequivocal blanket statement you made.  As many have stated before, the condition of the machine, and the type of carpet, and the kind of dirt all influence the outcome.   Josh Donnell, are you referring to the test against the Miele in the video, or the...

The side by side comparison test was devised by Kirby to prove definitively that the Kirby can get all the dirt. After vacuuming until the Kirby can pull no more dirt 3 stokes forward and back = 1 day of cleaning, count the number of days of cleaning. Do 100+ strokes with the other cleaner...

I sell the Sanitaire MM.... with a more extensive tricked out tool kit also.

And don't forget... you can upgrade to the VG II roller as well. I sell the Sanitaire 625 with VG II upgrade for people who like the lighter weight and do not want to spend the extra $$$ to bump up to the next model.  I also use them as rentals as a companion to the Host carpet cleaning machine.

The Lindhaus will last 15 to 20 years... and be a steady, solid performer.

Lindhaus Activa... single motor clean air on-board tools upright. Quiet, low profile, adjustable cleaning height, very low handle weight, long cord. Can replace bottom plate with one to do an excellent job on bare floors. The brush roll spins at a constant 5,000 rpm, has disc polished bristles...

When Dan shared his conversation... with someone at Kirby, I had the distinct impression that the redesign was going to be introduced as the next model.  So this model has 11 to 15 months before it will be gone and the 100th anniversary model introduced.  I'm sure the launch will be no later...

Oh, please.... SEVEN YEARS FOR THIS!!!????   This is all they could come up with? All they could do? The best they could muster? It still weighs over 20 lbs. It still does not have on board tools. Every day at least 5,000 people turn age 65 in this country. What happens when people turn 65...

Nathaniel, The Host pre-clean followed by the 'pancake' technique can indeed remove urine salts. Using more moisture than was originally in the stain only dilutes it. It might take a repeat application or two, but the principle of absorption is immutable. The sponges will draw the pre-cleaner...

Actually... Host CAN clean urine stains, if directions are followed.  I have people all the time tell me how amazed they are at what it removes.   It is impossible to wet clean without getting the entire fiber wet. Every time a carpet is wet cleaned the water soluble glue that binds the...

Use a low moisture system... I keep the two Host rentals busy all the time now. You have to take your time and do it right, but I have had people tell me they removed coffee stains from light colored carpet, and restored carpet they thought was trashed. You can also hire a professional...

Are the Aquaselects still made? Are they available in the US?

What I don't undertand is... how people on this forum can be so ready to jump down someone's throat for making the most innocuous of statements simply based on personal experience and personal opinion, when no one is being judged or called names? Some people here, it would appear,  are in...

It sort of resembles the CleanSy... that made a ripple a few years ago.   Here is a link. Apparently the CleanSy has been superseded with a more advanced model [this post was last edited: 7/24/2012-09:36] http://www.zepter.com/MainMenu/Products/HomeCare/CleanSy/Tuttoluxo-6S.aspx

The Mud issue... goes away if a Rainbow (Hyla, whatever) is used everyday exclusively for at least 30 days.  Storing the water basin where it is filled is a help, as is having a spare separator or two to slap a clean on on the machine when finished and putting the dirty one in the top rack of...
