Thanks for your help. AFTER I had sent them both back, I got to thinking MAYBE that was the problem! How stupid could I be! The adaptor DID NOT have any rubber seal and I think that is what threw me off. When you think of it, my Hoover Dail-A-Matic works with just the paper insert. I could not...

I just purchased a new Hoover Porta Power cleaner. I also purchased the optional "adaptor" and disposable bags.I cannot get the "adaptor" to fit inside the front of the machine and the bag door to close. I worked with it today for about 2 hours. Finally gave up and returned both the machine and...

Dagwood Bumstead is making good use of Blondie's new 77 Air-Way. You can tell the model by the brush in the rug tool, the hose and the air deflector on the bottom. Also notice when his friend stops by, he is carrying a Air-Way Sanibag in his hand.

I have one and it is a very good deep cleaner for carpeting. Word of caution: DO NOT LIFT machine by the top of the handle (above the bag compartment). Because of the weight, you will end up with a wobbly handle. We were advised about the issue when the machine was bought new in 1972 and never...

Thanks Ralph. I was thinking I would need more information.

If a new brushless motor has 1350 watts. How do you determine the CFM it will have?

Mark, I agree with your thoughts. I sent you an email but it was returned. I must have your old email as we have not exchanged for some time. Check out that new Delphin T8 web site . Just introduced. Some nice unique design features. *

new design of basin According to the information, the new water basin design is to hold back if you have a huge amount of thick dirt and hair that you would not want to go down the sewer. Just dump in the waste basket and rinse . Seems like it would much easier to attach and detach just by...

many unique features I have been interested in the brand for several years. I like the fact that their tools are unique to the machine and not just some generic looking item. I read where they do not use paints on the machines. I DID take note that the new T8 is much smaller and lighter...

Mark, I remember you posting that information about your filter. I DO believe I DID replace this filter ONE time within the first 2 years and it was clean too. So to CORRECT my post, this one has been in maybe 8 years and I think it could have gone longer as it just had minimal dirt. I have...

I just changed my hepa filter today. It has been in the machine 12 years. There is a slight amount of fine dust on the edges of the white filter. I am pretty happy as never ANY odor, or dust on the exhaust after all these years. Never any cloud of dust when you turn the Rainbow on and I have...

Mark, I won't be buying any new vacuums. I checked my hepa filter and I think it SHOULD be renewed. I also need to have the latch repaired on the hose. You are correct. I do use my Rainbow to clean the porch, blinds, garage floor and have used the sprayer to clean my siding on the house. I still...

Hey Mark!. We have had this talk years ago , but for some reason when I use the Rainbow ONLY, I can see the difference in any dust that appears on the dark wood furniture. I don't know if the Rainbow filters better but I do know I have less dust and no odor when using the machine. I can't make...

R I P Thanks for sharing the information. Roger and Charles were nice friends and we shared a lot of good times.

I guess we have to live in the present. The days of metal cleaners are long gone and won't be coming back. Even the new Aerus products are coming from other countries. The truth is that Hoover, Electrollux, Air-Way, Royal are all gone as we knew them. Every place you look you see so many almost...

Alex, Thanks for the pictures of the early machines. FIRST I have to learn to spell CORRECT on my posts! I type too fast. I am sure even though maybe not a powerful, those early machines were viewed as wonderful helpers. Compared to today the tool suction on the older Hoover's were not too...

Robert, thanks for the information. Love that Hoover Lark in your picture. The first 2 questions were about early vacuums in England. Of course to me ( and I now I am not correct) but the Hoover was THE successful cleaner. and my interest was always slanted toward Electrolux and Air-Way because...

I was driving home from church today and the radio show was on "Wait Wait Don't Tell". The 3 questions today were about first vacuum cleaners. When they got to the 3rd question on the show, the announcer asked when w Tom Gasko was interviewed at his vacuum museum in Missouri in 2019, what did...

I was thinking of getting one for quick pick ups. The only thing I didn't care for was the short hose. Anyone have any experience with the new models? I am amazed they still make them. They're available on line for under $130.00, which seems reasonable. Used to have a similar small hand Oreck...

When someone leaves the freezer door open on your Frigidaire and your get that horrible noise from the ice and fan, no need to call the repairman or even empty your freezer if you own a Rainbow. (1) Turn the Frigidaire off (2) pick up hot water with your hose to clean the hose(3) fill the water...
