Video's aren't mine! The video's in the playlist I shared are great videos, but alas they aren't mine, just shared. They do show that hours of vacuuming can still not get all the dirt out of a carpet though. Hopefully a reasonable amount of debris can be removed in a few careful passes, and the...

Video's with 18" Royal Commercial As an addition to this question, I put together this playlist of harder to find video's (for those who haven't seen them anyway). I'll be adding to this playlist here and there. (for copy/paste fanatics) I'm leaning towards the infinite adjustment as of now...

For those who have knowledge about these two methods Royal offers for height adjustment. Is there really a significant difference or advantage to either? I am considering getting one of the 18" commercial models, and would like to hear some advice on which is preferable. I will be using the...

Wichita KS Vacuum dealers Kirbysthebest mentioned Kansas Vacuum Center. I think they used to be called House of Vacs. I worked at a bike shop in the same strip mall in 1989 and bought a Panasonic from the old man who ran it at the time. I went in to by a Riccar if I remember right. Had planned...

Nice video! I have been curious about this new model. Looks like a cool machine!

Hoover Steamvac Carpet Cleaner I worked for a motel that used Hoover Steamvacs with spin scrub brushes. Had to clean 30 rooms one night when a storm with straight line winds drove gallons of water under the doors and flooded the rooms. Except for having to empty it after about a minute (several...

Video showing Rug Doctor in use... Controversial as the Rug Doctor is, I used an X-3 on this really badly stained carpet and it worked pretty well. The secret is pre-spray (Simple Green in this instance), and dwell time (about ten minutes or so). Using only water in the machine (which protects...

Thanks for all the opinions and answers! So most agree not to even mess with shake outs, and I see your point. For my work they insist on bagless or shake out because they believe that bugs and what not can be transferred from one site to another, so cleaning between jobs is required...

Non-foaming cleansers I have used Fabuloso, which is lavender scented (also comes in other scents) for floors because it cleans well and leaves no residue, and won't foam. Simple Green cleans stubborn floors, but I don't like the smell and you have to rinse. I have used both of these at full...

Thanks for that Roger... I will try to clean it with my Dyson, but it doesn't have a proper dusting brush so I may get angry before I have finished...but that's what I get for not owning a Kirby I suppose (kidding, not a Kirby hater, I like metal just as much as the next fellow I suppose...)

Just purchased a new SC899F, and want some good advice on best way to clean the shake out bag i.e. vacuum it out, blow it out with compressed air, wash it etc. I need to use it daily for pre-vacuuming carpets for carpet cleaning, and need it cleaned thoroughly but has to be ready to use quickly...
