    My annual trip to North canton

    I may be wrong, but my impression had been that he designed it. Pretty good idea if you ask me, or even if you don't... ;-)

    Cuisinart RECALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    To be honest, if they did not knead bread so well, I'd've never bought one. I really dislike the "safety" off when the motor is under the bowl. It's annoying and impractical, forcing you to do part of the prep (to chop veggies so they'll fit in the tube lengthwise). I *much* prefer the style...

    A LITTLE REVIEW OF THE NEW KIRBY AVALIR SHAMPOO SYSTEM

    Jeschbac said: "Why would I want a second machine to store and use only every six months or so when one contraption does it all???" It's not that the process you describe is not safe and effective. It's that the process you describe takes too long and is way more work than the Host/Capture...

    Pictures Bug

    I believe it's not a bug per se, but a bad interaction between the way people take pictures with their mobile devices and the software we use to see the pictures. When you take the pictures with the mobile devices, the "home button" should be either on the bottom or to the right -- if you take...

    Welcome to the New Vacuumland!!!!

    Another idea for resurrected threads is to present them with some indicator in the index page that will alert users that the thread has more than one extended intermission and when the user opens the thread the text is sectioned every time there is an intermission. For example, thread starts on...

    Welcome to the New Vacuumland!!!!

    Robert said: Not saying that we will for sure, but if I were to design a reactivated thread indicator what would be a good vacuum related catch phrase for "2nd Rinse"????? Pete said: A bag full indicator perhaps. LOL! I was going to suggest either "Check bag" or "Check brush", but "bag...

    Dyson Canisters

    Dyson's spiel is that the ball makes it easy to steer around furniture and corners, which *is* one of the problems with canisters in general and the DC23 in particular, it keeps getting stuck on things. Supposedly, between the triangular "guide" under the cyclone and the articulated joint and...

    Oreck vs. Riccar SupraLite?

    Wow, these machines have improved a lot in recent years! Thanks all for your help! I had used Orecks a couple of times years ago (maybe 5-10 minutes each), when I was helping somebody clean a public space, and at the time I didn't like them. Now I guess they were just old machines not...

    Hoover Insight

    Roger (Sensotronic) said: "I couldn't get on with my D2 Storm but I will still be getting a D4 Premium. I hope the upholstery nozzle doesn't keep falling out of it's holder like it did with my Storm." Ryan (Sebo_fan) said: "Contact SEBO about the nozzle falling off the back. It happened to me...

    Oreck vs. Riccar SupraLite?

    Thank you for the info, Devin! I think I may go shopping sometime in the next couple of weeks and try a few Orecks and SupraLites. Do you think the current models of both brands have basically the same performance, or is there a reason (better fans and/or brushes) to go up the line? It's hard...

    Oreck vs. Riccar SupraLite?

    I was wondering what people's personal experiences with Oreck and Riccar lightweight vacuums are like? For example, is the Oreck Magnesium just lighter than the Graphite or does it perform better? If it does perform better, what makes it so, bigger brush, higher speed, better fan? Also, what...

    Twocvbloke- Dyson

    &lt&ltWouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and...

    Twocvbloke- Dyson

    Jamie, my impression from reading your posts is that you communicate well. So many people can't spell or worse, if you din't post calling attention to your mistake, it would be so easy to just not see it compared to the average on the web. People posting here really appear to be several notches...

    Twocvbloke- Dyson

    Personally, I think I like it better this way, with no annoying ads and other stuff. I saw my contribution to the club as a donation, I did not feel forced to do it. Given how much it costs to run the website, I'm surprised they even allow for non-members to enjoy as much as they do, not being...

    POD 3/5/2012 (Lewyt)

    Please forgive me asking a dumb question, but how true was that advertising? Could the Lewyt really suck dust through a rug or was it just because it was close to the edge of the rug in this picture? Inquiring minds would like to know. Thanks in advance, -- Paulo.

    Hoover Decade 800 Heavy Duty

    I've gotta say, I think you are way too nice -- I could not have resisted cutting the paper bag open and taking a look at what was inside, just to find out what the heavy stuff that was vacuumed up and broke the fan was... of course, no one did it, it just ended up inside there all by its own --...

    More info on the Hoover Constellation, please?

    Hi, again! Finally got the chance to look through the older posts on the site and find a bunch of Connie related posts, look through the vacuum collections etc. What a lot of fun, and the collections are incredibly cool! In the Archives for the Contemporary Forum, Thread #420 ("The New...
