    Eureka Princess Manual

    That’s fascinating….thanks Paul! I remember seeing ads for toy Eureka uprights being offered as a promotion, but never little girls’ dolls. I wonder why there was never a Eureka Prince doll….😁 After all, Barbie had her “Ken”………

    Westinghouse Canister Vacuum Cleaner

    I’ll never forget that confident Westinghouse slogan from the 1960’s: “You can be sure if it’s Westinghouse.” Those were the days when brandnames symbolized a real company with a real North American factory location and work force that you could see with your own eyes. Globalization and...

    Miele Guard series

    Does anyone know when this new set of Miele canisters will be available in North America? I imagine the company will also add power nozzle models to the line-up for us here on this side of the Atlantic.

    Hoover's new cordless upright commercial vacuum

    Cool! But I think Hoover needs to get rid of the word “brushless” when they advertise this new cleaner. It’s confusing. Does the brush roll have bristles or not? If it’s the motor that’s brushless, they can bury that feature deep in the technical specs. Also…they don’t tell you if it uses...

    New Miele

    I think some people might prefer the Miele C3 over the Sebo D4 because it is less bulky, has a headlight on the deluxe power nozzle, and has slightly better airflow at the hose end.

    New Miele

    Congratulations! The C3 is an excellent canister cleaner. Just remember that whenever you open the bag chamber, reseat the bag collar into the dock before closing the lid….the collar can easily slide out of alignment whenever you open the lid which can cause major dirt leakage into the bag...

    Synthetic bags

    okay….good luck!

    Synthetic bags

    No…but I figured you just need enough synthetic bag filtration material to be able to cut it to fit the full circumference of the Swivel Top’s tub. So I was just recommending the largest hepa bags that might give you enough material to create a large enough bag.

    Singer Twin Fan Bissell rebrand question?

    I think that that is just a package of dust bags made by Bissell for the Singer Twin-Fan upright. It seems to reflect a weird phenomenon in vacuum cleaner history, where vacuum companies packaged dust bags for their own machines, along with competitor’s cleaners. Eureka never did this, but I...

    Career as a vacuum designer

    Hi Raymonde! Fellow Quebecker here! 👋👋👋 You are in luck: you can study for a Bachelor of Industrial Design at either Carleton University in Ottawa or at the Universite de Montreal. Both really close to where you live. You would need to probably first have a Pure and Applied sciences...

    Synthetic bags

    Hmm…. what about Hepa bags for a big central vacuum motor unit….surely these have enough material to cut open and modify for the GE…..see link below…. https://www.maytagcentralvacuums.com/en/hepa-microfilter-bags-for-maytag-central-vacuum-3-pack-maytag-fbmt3-440mtg

    Shop vacs

    Sorry - that Hoover cordless shop vac is made by Ryobi. Maybe Ryobi is now owned by the same parent company TTI.

    Shop vacs

    Here is the Hoover OnePWR cordless shop vac - see link below. I think it’s a rebranded DeWalt because I have seen it in yellow and black…. https://hoover.com/products/onepwr-high-capacity-wet-dry-utility-vacuum-tool-only

    Singer Twin Fan Bissell rebrand question?

    Oh….I thought the Bissell uprights made by Ryobi only had one fan. Be interesting to see the underside of one of them.

    Shop vacs

    They now make rechargeable cordless shop vacs which are great for cleaning places that don’t have a plug nearby. Hoover has one that uses its PWR1 system of batteries that can be used some of it’s other cordless vacs and floor washers.

    Singer Twin Fan Bissell rebrand question?

    I don’t think Singer ever made a twin-fan upright for Bissell. Singer sold their patented twin fan upright under the Singer name, and also under the Kenmore and Sunbeam names. The only other company selling an upright with two fans and two suction channels was General Electric. The “bag in...

    Synthetic bags

    You might try Numatic Henry synthetic bags. From the videos I’ve seen prepared by Ibaisaic on YouTube, these seem to be very very large.

    History of steam cleaners/carpet cleaners?

    I have always wondered why the terms “steam cleaner” and “deep carpet cleaner״ were used to describe machines that in essence “wash” carpets. Many of the machines don’t heat the water in their tanks, and the term “deep carpet cleaner” could be used for any vacuum that has a revolving brush...
