    update...Got to see my first Riccar canister today.

    Holy Crap - I thought I asked a simple question… Did not mean to stir up a hornets nest - It was partially my fault for ASSUMING that it was made stateside… I do agree with the other Dan - I do not ever remember Tom saying it was made in the states - I just assumed - And we all see what...

    update...Got to see my first Riccar canister today.

    Hi Tom... I must admits, I was under the assumption that they were being manufactured at the Tacony Plant as well… Not that it really matters - I do understand that with anything from oversea's, you get what you pay for… Spend a fair amount, get a good product - Spend a little, get a junk...

    Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away Stop Sale/Recall

    So… I had to stop at Bed Bath and Beyond after work to pick up some things… As always, I wandered through the vacuum section, and noticed that all of the Rotator Powered Lift Aways were placed at the top of the shelves, and they all had some 8x11 sheet of paper taped to each one… I asked on of...

    My Extensive Collection Part 6

    Dan - Do you have the selector switch on the handle in one of the two carpet modes, and not on the hard floor mode? I am sure you do, but it never hurts to ask - I am also sure you already know he handle has to be reclined for the brush to spin… I am sorry that you had an issue out of the...

    Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away NV652 Pictures

    While it is true that many canisters have a mini electric power power nozzle for stairs and furniture, I think this shark is the first one in a long time to offer this in an upright… I think at one time there was a kenmore upright with and electric hose and electric mini power nozzle, but that...

    Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away NV652 Pictures

    It has a 7-year warranty on it - I have to say that my initial impression is that it seems to be very well made… Only time will tell, but I will give it a work out - I love the idea of an Electric Mini Pet Brush - I really wanted it for that a reason - That and the lift away will make doing...

    Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner

    I have to tell you that it does a really great Job - If you pull off the recovery tank, the suction at the port is amazing - I may to to open it up just to see what type of motor is in this thing - Rugs are completely dry after only a couple of hours - and the Vibrating brush is great as...

    Another new Shark Vacuum hit the shelves

    I was back at Walmart just to see if they put one out on display yet - Nope - But I did Scan one for the price - $298.00 - I think the price is a little high for Walmart - At that price it may have the same fate as the Dyson did, which was pulled from the shelves and put on clearance for lack...

    My New Daily Driver….

    DesertTortoise… No - The crevice tool worked fine on the corners of both the tile floor in the bathrooms, and the wood floor in the kitchen - Did equally as well on the joints between the carpet and the baseboards… The canister has enough suction to overcome the loss from the little side vent...

    My New Daily Driver….

    DesertTortoise… The large "DeepClean" power nozzle does not have a fitting on the back to allow it to store on the vacuum, but to be honest it does not need one… The power nozzle has a very hefty weight to it - Not to heavy to make it difficult to use, but enough heft so that it makes no...

    My New Daily Driver….

    DesertTortoise - The link you provided to Electrolux is the same basic vacuum - Mine is an Ultra Active Deep Clean as well - Just in purple and black - They sell it is a few different colors for the different retailers… The one I puchased (EL4305AZ) differs only in color and in that it includes...

    My New Daily Driver….

    DesertTortoise… The small grey tool on the rug is the upholstery tool - The larger tool on the rug to the right of it is the electric hand power brush… The two tools that are stored on the handle are actually separate - One is the crevice tool, and the other is the horse hair during brush… I...

    My New Daily Driver….

    Hello All, I was looking for a new canister vacuum that was bagless, and had a full size power nozzle… The Dyson was out since they only have a turbo brush - The dirt devils, and Eureka Vacuums all either had filters in the bins, or seemed like cheaply made vacs… The Hoover Windtunnel Air had...
