    Techdrive lever fell out of Ultimate G Diamond

    Was just using it as normal then as soon as it put into drive it just fell out. Doesn't seem to be an damage on the shaft but it's stuck in drive but if I push it in hard enough it puts it back into neutral but doesn't stay in. What kind of repairs im looking at here?

    New Kenmore Intuition bagged lift off style vacuum

    Looks pretty nice! If the power is anything like the Kenmore Elite I can imagine this being a really good vacation especially for the price. Big fan of lift offs too. Curious to why so few bagged vacuums don't common features like swivel and lift off but nice to see Kenmore changing that

    What the best/your favorite "mainstream" vaccums and brands?

    Thanks for your replies. I see a lot praise for Shark and Hoover here. I don't really hear of much talk about third React line but from the looks of it they seem to be more Shark-like. Speaking of which... while I wouldn't replace my Kirby with it I I'd love to see Shark make a bagged version...

    Why have vacuum attachments gotten so dinky over the years?

    A pet peeve of mine is stuff dusting brushes. Like seriously some of the things are like a scrub brush you'd use for cleaning a tub not dusting delicate surfaces

    What the best/your favorite "mainstream" vaccums and brands?

    Probably a weird question to ask but... say you had to pick a vacuum you'd find at most Wal-Marts and Targets where mostly the only brands you see like Bissell, Hoover, Dirt Devil, and Shark (guess you can add dyson too?)... which of those brands would you chose and which model? Don't really...

    Which is better? Bagged or Bagless

    As person who suffers from dust allergies... Bagged all the way. The only exception is I have for are my quick pick up vacuums (dont really have choice except for the Oreck pod) like my Bissell Ion Adapt which I just use for picking small messes like snack spills. No matter the dust cup size...

    Spinscrub 50 vs Proheat Revolution 2x Pet

    Update After comparing carefully I I found the Bissell to be better better in some aspects two important to me. Tank sizes on both was is one gallon. Bissell's looks smaller but holds the same on the clean tank. I think dirty tank on the Hoover holds a liiiittle but more due to its shape but...

    Spinscrub 50 vs Proheat Revolution 2x Pet

    Currently have a Spinscrub 50 and am getting a Proheat Revolution for free straight from Bissell (not sure why but I'm not questioning it) am wondering what machines you prefer. Both have gallons tanks but Hoover's design while flimsier than the older models has stay pretty much the same and...

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    I believe its Nylon. It's still really soft on about less than 1/4 of it but the parts I took pictures of feel almost as flat and rough as commercial carpeting

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    Late update but felt it was worth mentioning Bought a Hoover Spin Scrub 50 and it managed to definitely pull out some dust judging by the grey water but it failed to soften the carpet. Thinking about trying out a Bissell Pro Heat 2X but not sure if it'll work or if o should just keep the Hoover

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    A big thing I noticed is that I'm getting a foam but not that thick white blanket. I cleaned the suds screen and filter so it shouldn't be that only two things I can think of is the tank is damaged or my water is too hard.

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    Update after vacuuming several times... The new shampoo helped a little bit but the carpet remains "crispy" or rough. It's kinda hard to tell from the photos but you can tell a little bit where it almost looks a bit matted.

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    One more thing.... I should be noted the rugs never get real dirty just needed to freshen them up and the only thing that was ever spilled on them was unsweetened iced tea

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    Quick update... Bought new shampoo and it foamed btter than the last one but didn't seem as uh... smooth as here but I made sure to use 2oz of shampoo per line of warm water and cleaned out the suds screen. Wating on it to dry but the crusty parts still feel crusty and the soft parts still...

    Kirby Shampooer leaving rugs and carpet rough/flat

    Been using my Ultimate G Diamond with a G4's shampoo system and I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions correctly but even after going over it again and again the rugs (which I never even walk on with my shoes) which are pretty much like a standard texture carpet and even after vacuuming...

    The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

    @vexorgtr This. Reminds of the guy who argued with me that apple is "smart" for making theirs iOS devices compatible with expandable storage and why you shouldn't think otherwise. That and his use of the words "evidence" "facts" "scientific and the term "light-years ahead" make want to rip my...
