@matt, I'd say it is a radiator tool. Sebo makes a funky one as well.

@sptyks "Then, recently I read somewhere that the American Hoover (TTI) WindTunnel Air was lighter and performed as well or better than the Felix. So I decided that since I already own a Hoover WindTunnel Air, I don't really need to spend a lot of money on the Felix." Whoever said that is...

@olive "It is the combination of the agitation and the suction seal which is why this dyson has earned its reputation of the best performing dyson ever. Even on plush carpets, tilt it back and it will grab the carpet and lift it up quite a way, something by felix does not do. " I consider...

We use a certain degreaser that is sold at sams under their members mark brand but is made by Ecolab. On it, it says it can remove carbon build up. Now, I won't try it on my current filter until I replace it, but it probably could remove that last bit of build up on it. Looking forward to the...

That stinks blackheart. Didn't know they had some that didn't have the variable speed. I just wish the bags were a little bigger. I'll see what happens next week, but it looks like I'll use one bag per my 3 apt hallways I clean. Normally it would mean emptying the hoover windtunnel air canister...

Interesting design, if I am seeing it right. It is like the brush roller has its own wheel to set its level, right?

Update on the Vibrance vs Felix front. I cleaned the office today again, but during the day. That same rug? Well, the Felix did good but wasn't the clear victory I thought it was. The Vibrance will scrub very well, but leaves a tiny middle trail due to the bottom plate. The Felix manages to...

@ralph, hard to describe. They said remove the clip to release the end cap, and pull off. Well, it came off, but the rest of it, being where the belt goes on it, wouldn't come off, and that had to be removed in order to get the one set of brushes replaced. The other side holds the whole metal...

@ralph, no, and I've used it with barely any brushes since most never bothered to change the bags or do maintenance on it. When the brushes are barely there, it still works ok but can't pull itself along. But again, I just had them replaced, and also found a bad side bearing on it, so was...

Maybe THAT will solve the pet odors lol.

@sptyks, that's just it, you can't set the height on it. Has a floating head plus right side suction on the bottom. Loves to spit out salt too. I think the only ones that can are the top of the line models. It can pick up a lot on the first pass, but it simply isn't 100% clean until I pass it...

@ralph, though I can't test it, I'd be sad if it outperformed the Riccar Vibrance provided to me where I clean an office. I just tested my Felix there, and it blew the Riccar away. I have to take 5-7 passes to get all the salt/sand out of their front rug. The felix took it out in one pass. Both...

Could you show a picture of the underneath of the nozzle?

Also if you don't want a kirby but want direct air, what about the Koblenz? I used a Sanitaire in the past, and didn't really like it.

Well sebo fan, since Windsor is now part of the Karcher group, it pretty much is the same. Different look. I'd wish it wasn't like that since Sebo is here now but I guess it will have to do. I'm willing to guess for the commercial market that 1 less switch, a potentially sturdier handle and a...

Nope, I don't own one. Just used several and while yes, they use tough plastic, everything else is lacking. It really isn't a jab against them as they aren't made for commercial use. They have so many bells and whistles on them that there are so many points of failure. I've seen one though be...

@sptyks Yes that is true. Or another way of thinking is there is a lot of potential with high suction, but without a clear path for it to go, air flow suffers. Again, only gripe with Kirby is their network of salesman to sell the device. One quick story was my friend who will never let her...

Sigh...here we go again... "Sprockkets, I'm afraid that you are still wrong. It seems you are confused and believe that suction and airflow are the same thing. They are not. In order to clean carpet really well you need 3 things:" Seeing how I clearly explained what "suction" is and how it is...

@sptyks You've linked me to a site with no pictures showing up. "You are dead wrong when it comes to your opinion that Direct Air vacuums and Bypass Air vacuums have the same amount of airflow no matter how far the fan is from the carpet. A Direct Air Vacuum has at least 5 times more airflow...

Weird how ebay works Blackheart? That vacuum went for $229, then $209, then $179, but no one cared until you bidded on it. Do what I do, don't bid on it until the last ten seconds. Bidding for whatever reason attracks competition.
