I first saw this power nozzle by way of a YouTube demo video. The person presenting it said it was a Hoover exclusive that was never released. What makes it interesting is that it has height adjustment and its own dirt sensor. The price runs mid-range at about 200 bucks. Unfortunately I can't...

@rainbowkristy . . . . Wow, glad you put the pictures up. It is a shame but one good thing is that the self-cooled motor, save for the suction fans, is spared exposure to a lot of the mess. I too don't quite get how you can spend that much money and not take care of your investment. But, to...

@rainbowjoel . . . I see! How long did it take to become able to disassemble and reassemble these new models as quickly as you do? To a novice, the job appears totally baffling. Venson

@rainbowjoel / mark40511 . . . Thank you! Here's one machine that kind of dispels the "fan in a can" theory. Rainbowjoel, thanks for the videos and all that effort. What was the stuff you used when you re-seated the motor? An adhesive or a sealant of some kind? Mark40511, Rainbow only...

@gsheen . . . "Venson I still have my gs 80 what a machine , quiet and still sucks fairly well. the new versions have a powerful motor" That's fantastic! My GS 80 was in great shape but I opted to do what I thought would be a good deed. A neighbor and friend of mine in New York owned the...

Hi sebo_fan, I don't know if you've seen this or not but thought I'd add it to the pile. Some of the tests or rather the way they were executed seemed a little silly but in any event the D4 came away looking good. Venson

@gsheen . . . "My problem is as follows , why cheat in your informational and second why can't a company like hoover or even Eureka for that matter come up with there own ideas instead of taking a 7 year old dyson design and modifying it to look a little different to avoid lawsuits and sell it...

Regarding your machine . . . If you own the model S3865 it got quite good ratings. That said, first off I'd arm myself with a dust mask -- AND the cleaner's user guide -- and then clean ALL filters. Give that a go and see if it makes a difference when you use it. If it does it means that...

@trebor . . . The company often has kits for that purpose. My Nilfisks did not have PN jacks. Because the power cord was detachable on both cleaners you could first plug in a feed cord for the electrified hose and PN and then plug the main power cord into it. It wasn't a fancy arrangement...

@pr-21 . . . Hi Bud, I put in the link for the U.S. page just for Miele canister offerings below. It's way too much for the everyday consumer. They nearly repeat the same by way of the S7, an upright I love. They only need one "electronic" model and a lesser priced model with the dial...

Hi sanifan, Your cleaner also sells under the Nilfisk brand which has always supplied a line of very practical no-frills durable machines that are good around the house or in public venues. Nilfisk also makes other highly specialized vacuums. I have owned two Nilfisks, the MS 80 and the 90...

Tearing down a Rainbow E . . . Hi rainbowkristy, mark40511 has a point. Since he mentioned there being a repair video around, I checked out YouTube and came up with the following. You may want to take a look at it before proceeding with the clean up yourself. If it's a little too difficult...

Sounds like your in for quite an adventure. For economy's sake, I'd browse eBay. A large amount of Rainbow parts show up there, especially filters. Have you checked behind the HEPA? It sounds as if the machine needs to be almost completely disassembled AND I am assuming you've done this...

A nifty machine that doesn't cost a lot . . . While I worked two 13-weeks stints doing brand launches at several Sears stores, I was surprised by the number of owners stopping by the vac department to gets bags for the Magic Blue. They were much more popular than I'd imagined. This machine...

@pr-21 . . . Hi Bud, Thanks for the info. I feel almost forced to send the company a letter of thanks for leaving the wheels on.:) However, if the plan was as you say, I think they've gone wrong and I also think that the company is sullying the name it's obviously worked quite a while to...

Nobody asked me but . . . Hi, I just checked this out -- in the U.S. Miele is trying to peddle, roughly, eighteen models that are canisters. To that I say -- c'mon already! In my opinion, S2s are superfluous additions to Miele's line and the effort is insulting to the whit's worth of...

Royal attachment set . . . Nice complete pale blue set of attachments for a Royal upright or probably even a Royal can with a little fiddling. Not uncommon but it's good to snatch 'em when you can. Disclaimer: I neither know nor have any business affiliation with the seller...

I can't tell whether TTI (Hoover's present maker) is trying to dazzle us with brilliance or baffle us with BS but it's gone whole hog this time by way of its infomercial for the Hoover WindTunnel Air. It even displays a pick-up test versus a Dyson. (They also utter the much litigated "no loss...

Another rarity . . . Electrolux hose with pigtail for Model G. Not often seen. Disclaimer: I neither know nor have any business affiliation with the seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Electrolux-Vacuum-Hose-Only-LOOK-/220973659515?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33730e757b#ht_500wt_1106

@goadie12 . . . Hi, There's no telling because these usually don't turn up often. One I saw a few years back pulled down a final bid of several hundred dollars. Still another one's sold just this month, about eight days ago, for a little under two hundred. Then again, from the images I saw...
