What would have to change... if we were not a consumer-driven society? Have you ever really thought about that?  The malls and Wal-Mart would go away. All of those millions of square feet of shelving stocked to the brim with merchandise just in case you want to buy something. AND WE MUST BUY...

I was not really a fan of them... until I saw so many come into the shop. Clean the brushroll, clean the filter, unclog the hose, change the belt, and on they go. The performance for the money is hard to top. I don't have one at home, but people who buy them are overwhelmingly satisfied.  (83%)...

The launch of the... Home Sanitizing Business  has been postponed in favor of a regular, but upscale home cleaning service. She is going to use, can you guess? Bissell Powerforce Helix bagless uprights.  They will be used along side Sanitaire uprights and upright/canister power teams as the...

The Thermax AF2... is a re-iteration of a machine called the PIGG, with the addition of an electric power head. If formerly had only a turbo nozzle. No separator. Very heavy unit, although not as heavy as the AF-1.   The PIGG motto was "We Root Out All Your Dirt"

Vac shops do not sell Bissell... because we cannot buy them as cheaply as Wal-Mart sells them. It is definitely true of the Powerforce and the Powerforce Helix. I have read in some of the reviews that some people bought them in the store for $39.00!   Out of 885 reviews, 738, or 83% rate it a 4...

Sorry, Brad... if you were expecting an amusing, slightly titillating, humorous anecdote. It was, and it is scandalous to this day.  These behaviors reflect badly on the Kirby name and its representatives.

Brad... There is a story there, and it is not pretty. It involved gross misconduct on the part of a young dealer, the outright congratulatory approval of every other person (all male, thankfully) in the van, the verbal abuse of me by the Divisional Supervisor, and the turncoat undeserved...

The purpose in using water filtration vacs.... in a home sanitizing business is that people would see the filth extracted from their homes. Each time a cleaning is done, a clean dry, spotless machine would be unsealed from a plastic bag, so no possibility of contamination from another home. The...

Rob... Do you think the Rainbow PN would hold up under use in multiple homes per day 5-6 days/week?   I am researching for an acquaintance who is starting a "Home Sanitizing Business" way beyond standard maid/house cleaning service. I had dreams of this at one point, but this almost 60 yr...

a water filtration vac to recommend for use in a residential cleaning service, which one would you choose?   I am leaning towards the Hyla because : 1) the 4 qt bucket is standard 2) the bucket has a handle which is the locking mechanism, so no clips to break off  3) remote control is...

Director 12.... You got it! The Powerforce Helix is on sale @ Wal-Mart for 43.87! A friend from karaoke said she is going out to buy FOUR of them (one for each level of her home) plus an extra set of filters.  $224.13 for four vacuums plus a spare set of filters, including tax. None of them...

DAF... D eodorizer and A ir F reshener

It is the Nilfisk... used and sold by Jeff Campbell and the Clean Team

Brad... I am happy to hear things are going well for you, and your distributor is one of the good guys.

Gareth... What are the names of the two red and the one green unit in your photo? Are the red ones made by the same manufacturer? Current models? I would say that separator technology is better then non. Open the basin and give us the mud.

Brad... Have you ever sold Kirbys, or been a Kirby distributor? Back a few years, I sold G4s, a lot of them.  I did training for my distributor.  SOME distributors make a good living, and some of those deserve to.  Some do not.  Ethics, for many distributors, not all, but many, take a backseat...

There are many, not all available in the US. Beginning with the separator units available in the US: Rainbow, Hyla, Pro-Aqua, Aura Roboclean, Ocean Blue, Robot Turmix, Delphin, Ritello by Librex, and most recently Big Power, which used to be a non-separator unit, but has changed their design. ...

Distributors are pissed for many reasons... One of the biggies is that when people purchase supplies on-line the local distributor receives NOTHING, Zippity Freakin' Do-Dah! A distributor who has been successful will not leave over lack of a model change. That may be the excuse, but there are...

Very very soon... could be three months from now, or it could be the anniversary. We have been down this road of speculation before a time or three, with supposed information from the inside. We have seen patent drawings, heard rumors of people seeing the new machine, etc.  Unlikely, but this...

The Heritage II initially had the wide Classic type nozzle and the mini-emptor and the Zipp brush. Did the switch to the more streamlined nozzle happen before the name change, or concurrent with it?
