I disagree with people who say that the quality of Kenmore vacuum cleaners dropped when Cleva took over. Just to name one, I have both the Cleva and Panasonic versions of the 31150, and I can confirm that they are made to the exact same quality standards. There are slight differences in...

I probably would not buy one new, but there are parts of it that I like more than the Blizzard such as the filters. The bin size also looks decent especially with the small build of the unit and I would be interested to see how effective the cyclone is. Overall, it is something I would like to...

I was super interested in the LG CordZero R9 until I saw the price. The same thing goes for the Dyson robotic vacuum cleaners. I would only ever buy one because I think the technology is cool and not necessarily because I have a use for one, but they are too expensive to warrant a novelty...

The issue that you described is a common trend with a few particular users on Reddit and YouTube as well. Personally, I do not discriminate. I will work on anything put in front of me and do a good job even if the machine is objectively cheap or bad. If it comes to me for pocket change or for...

I have only seen them at Target actually on the floor. They have a blue 600 Series canister and an Intuition upright as well. The rest of the retailers I have seen only sell them online. On top of uprights, I also noticed that Walmart recently started selling their own version of the 200 Series...

Hmmmm, let me share my thoughts. Dyson unveiled their clean-air bagless models and they surely changed the market. It was much easier to imitate their design with a clean-air base. I know Hoover made their direct-air twin-chamber models, but boy did they leak and they did not work all that well...

I bought one and it is supposed to arrive next week. I am very interested to assess one. They are so cheap that it was worth it for me just to see one in person. Also, being such a small fraction of the price of a comparable Henry, may this actually be a good buy? After all, Henrys are quite...

I use eBay and I have pretty good look on there. As long as the machines are free of mechanical issues, look decent, and are packaged well in the smallest box possible (for cheaper shipping), then you should have a fine time and even perhaps build a reputation with positive feedback. I typically...

It has been a while since I have worked on one of these. I recall the motors being somewhat annoying to rebuild. After a few years of importing relabeled machines, Bissell began putting the manufacturer of the unit in the serial number of each machine. Judging by the "S" at the end of the serial...

I would say that it is worth getting as they are some what of a rarity nowadays. They were not particularly great machines with numerous flaws with the most prominent being the inflated size and large weight, but the are powerful machines that are decently well built on some areas. It is one of...

Honestly, I have never relied on any bag check indicators for my bagged machines with the exception of the Aerus/Electrolux canisters. It is easier for me just to feel if the bag is full. I have found that often, even with dirty filter indicators on bagless machines, that the bag is full or the...

I noticed that they have not been nearly as present in my area, either. On department store shelves here, it is mostly Bissells, Sharks, Hoovers, and Dysons. To my surprise, I did see Kenmore canisters and Intuitions at Target, though. Other than that, it is always those four big ones nowadays.

I have been interested in seeing inside of one of these since they were released. Parts of it seem to look like a Cleva-manufactured machine, but other parts do not. Perhaps they outsourced the canister and head to another company such as KingClean and manufactured things such as the handle and...

I have never engaged with this person or even heard of him before seeing this thread, but I must say that many of his critiques of the Kirby in his Kirby G5 versus Dyson V11 video are hilarious. First of all, the G5 is a very old model and the Avalir 2 does have various improvements. He could...

I know that the Bissell Aeroswift was made by EUP of Suzhou, China. They have made most of the more recent units in Bissell's lineup. Tacony is listed as one of the companies that has ordered vacuum cleaners from them, so they likely were both made by EUP.

I have always liked both mechanical things and things that are old. My interest is not limited to vacuum cleaners, but they are the easiest to collect because people often do not know what they have and it is not an expensive hobby because I flip certain models such as Orecks for a profit. As...

I don't mind them a whole lot. With all the trash that has nearly consumed the industry from companies such as Bissell, Hoover, and Eureka, the original WindTunnel models seem very nice in comparison. They clean carpet quite thoroughly, they have a good balance of suction and airflow, they were...

Especially for a single weekend, that is quite the arsenal of nice machines. I'm lucky if I find one really good one on a thrifting trip. That typewriter is also interesting. I just so happen to have one about just like it.

As I saw other people mention, I would recommend the Aerus/Lux Classic. It does have a plastic construction, but I have never had a problem with the plastic Electrolux models. In fact, I like how light they are. On top of that, they do come with the classic metal Electrolux power nozzle wand...

If the Sanitaire Wide Track II doesn't go to anybody else, I would be highly interested in purchasing it. I'm also interested in the vintage Electrolux in the right of the last picture and the Blue self-propelled Eureka.
