Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew if which canister had better suction, the Riccar Pristine or Lindhaus Aria? Thanks!

Hey There, I inherited my Great Aunt's Hoover Deluxe Convertible U4005 that has been barely used over the years. Anyway, I have tried using it to vacuum my office that has Berber carpet and I've noticed that the vacuum has a very hard time picking up large particles on the floor. It seems to me...

Hey everyone, I have a Compact C6 that was new out of the box when I got it, but I noticed the other day that there was a light blue flickering light coming from the blower port. I know that some motors glow when they get hot or turn on (my Hoover Elite motor used to turn orange after a...

I think the very best overall vacuum is a Royal Everlast. The all metal uprights are wonderful cleaners. They've restored my carpets. Worked much better than a Riccar Tandem Air and Lindhaus that the salesman at the vacuum store tried to push on me. They are a little loud, but so worth it. A...

Thread Number: 18839 PN Canister vs Bypass Upright

Thread Number: 18839 PN Canister vs Bypass Upright I had a similar experience with a Compact C7 with a power nozzle and a top of the line Fuller Brush bypass upright. Needless to say, no comparison really. The Fuller Brush picked up fairly, but it was outcleaned by the Compact hands down. The...

Hey everyone, I bought a Compact C 6 and I have one of those dome filters that go over the exhaust port. It isn't original to the machine, but from what I know they were especially made for these machines after they were originally produced when hepa filters became popular. I can't for the...

Hey everyone, I've used them both. I would definitely agree that the Type A bagged Convertible models are better than the Type C bagged models. The one drawback to the Eureakas though is I hate those paper dirt tubes i.e., the F&G bags. They always tear. Anyway, comparing the Convertible...

Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it!

Does anyone know what they mean by their 2-motor uprights mentioned in the catalog? Are they just referring to a bypass style with a suction motor and a brush-roll motor? Any info would be great!

Best Decade for Vacuums My first thought was the 80's too!

I was just wondering, if the Riccar/Simplicity has stronger suction than the Miele and Sebo? My Grandmother had a white Sebo Airbelt, and I didn't think it was worth writing home about. Its suction wasn't bad, but not great either, same with the power head. I tested a Riccar Pristine canister...

Yeah, I always emptied mine in the toilet too. The only thing I suggest is using soft water in the basin or put some vinegar or Calgon or White King or some sort of water softner in with it if you don't have soft water. My water is naturally really hard, and sometimes even with softners, the...

Hey Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the suction measurement is for the last couple of Tristar models. I have a Tristar, and an older Compact C6. The Compact seems to have better suction, but the hose is a lot narrower.I don't know if that plays a role in the power or...

If you go to the Rainbow Vacuum website, they have a pretty cool diagram of how the vacuum works as well as a good history of the models over the years. Hope this helps!

Heritage II or Sentria If you're not sure which vacuum cleans better or if both have positive features, why not take them both if you can. That's what I would do. I feel for you, I hate cannumdrums like that too.

There is Rainbow (Rexair), Thermax and Big Power. Those are the ones that I know of. Then there were some on some infomercials a couple of years ago. Along the lines of the Shark brand line. I don't think they were Sharks, but similar to those brands. I don't believe they were very good, you...
