    Central vac for high altitude

    Look up... MD. They have some of the most extensive information on central vacs on their site. The less dense air at high altitude  is affected more by every bend in the tubing, making increased suction easier to achieve than increased airflow.

    Will a clean fan ever be better than a dirty fan ?

    The secret lies... in the brush. The almost-completely sealed backing of carpets today makes it nearly impossible to pull air through the carpet. The air must travel more horizontally across the surface. The tremendous airflow of an open fan upright is drastically reduced when the nozzle is...

    Sebo Felix vs. Dyson DC41 vs Miele S7

    I could sell... Sebos, Panasonics, Dysons, or Mieles, but I choose the Lindhaus over all of them. I give them high marks across the board.

    Rainbow Aquamate I & II vs. III

    You could use... an Aqua-mate on a D2, HOWEVER, despite the fact that Rexair touted the machine's wet pick-up capabilities, the D3 was the first machine UL listed FOR wet pick-up. You would have to pay close attention to the level of water in the basin.

    Rainbow Aquamate I & II vs. III

    If you use... the non-motorized Aqua-mate you MUST flush the soap tube with clear water or it will stick together!   Also, using the older style A/M as a rinse after using a Kirby shampooer, or other rug scrubber yields wonderful results.

    Bare floor tools

    Cody... I will post the model number of the floor tool tomorrow when I have my Lindhaus Dealer book in front of me. 'Bernoulli' is a nickname given  by the sales force at Lindhaus. There are three tools, one stands upright and has a release. It will accept a felt pad. The second is a brush...

    Royal vs. Kirby vs. Sanitaire

    Info from another thread suggests... that using the Koblenz belts on the Sanitaire would extend the belt life and the performance.

    Royal vs. Kirby vs. Sanitaire

    This is not a... yes-no 1,2,3 question. What kind of carpet is being cleaned? How dirty is it? How new is it? A lot of fuzz being removed would affect belt life, etc.  Are the machines modified in any way? Is the carpet glued down?   It is easy to state an opinion based upon personal...

    Bare floor tools

    This tool... looks excellent. The side bristles give it stability so it will remain level on the floor. The 9" width will focus the airflow for better cleaning on the first pass.

    Bare floor tools

    The Electrolux tool... is excellent. I like the Lindhaus "Bernoulli" tool, so named after the man who discovered the principles that allow heavier-than-air flight.

    baged or bagless 2

    If one is truly allergic... the question comes down to this: How can one minimize the dust released when changing the bag or dumping the dirt cup? With the bagged units a flap or seal of some kind helps keep the dust and dirt trapped. Don't squeeze the bag. With the bagless units, a...

    baged or bagless 2

    I prefer... bagged, Even at 4 bucks a pop for Miele bags changed once a month, and a new Hepa filter, it's better than getting sick and going to the Dr. The Lindhaus paper bags retail for $24.95 for 10 with two Filtrete exhaust filters included. and the bags are treated with nano-silver to...

    Are Eco-labelled Vacuum Cleaners Worth the Extra Cash brands are selling?

    What Eco never considers... What happens to the old product, whether working or not?   What about the packaging and shipping of the new product to get it to the end user?   "It cost $100.00 to save 10 cents! Let's do it now, Let's do more of it! Let's destroy the planet in an attempt to...

    Electrolux PN Sales Question

    The PN-1.. Actually was a difficult sale to the salesmen, believe it or not. They resisted the notion, and said they were not selling Hoovers. Electrolux actually put up prizes and trophies for the most power nozzles sold. As newer salesmen were recruited and trained with the power nozzle as...

    Rainbow Questions

    IF you go with the Rainbow... As a former Rainbow distributor, I used to include two extra separators with each sale, so the customer could slap a clean one on the machine, and put the dirty one in the top rack of the dishwasher. I would think salt dust would crystallize on the vanes of the...

    Anyone heard of a Vortech Force?

    The Vortech Force... has been around for awhile. The model prior to the one current closely resembles the previous Miracle Mate, with the cordwinder mounted vertically to one side. They are a niche-market machine.
