    Oreck dual stack commercial

    Husky: I am not quite sure how rare they are actually, I am sure that they are getting to be uncommon more and more as the years go on due to lack of available parts. They are a rather large and bulky machine if you couldn't tell, and they were most commonly used in, airports, hotel lobbies...

    Oreck dual stack commercial

    John No I didn’t get it that dirty, it was pretty well used when I got it, and normally when something comes into my house, it immediately gets a cleaning. This was one of those things that I needed some time for and well, with this whole covid thing going on I had some time do that and some...

    Oreck dual stack commercial

    Tom I didn’t know you had this machine at one point! I’m glad I have it too, it might not get used much due to lack of available parts, thankfully none were missing and none are missing after the service, I made sure all parts went back where they belonged. It’s also actually very quiet for an...

    I like the XL21 and a couple of the newer ones. This machine though is a beast in its own!

    Oreck dual stack commercial

    Back in November, my friend Evan Rogers came to visit myself and Greg Palmer on his way through to his parents. He asked me if I wanted any central vacs he had since I had mine installed back in August by Greg, and I like tinkering with machines that have been well Rrrrrrrrrinsed and put away...

    My new to me Rainbow E Series E2 Single Speed

    The white scuffs can easily be removed with 91% rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth. As for the machine good buy and it’s also an earlier model (98-99 maybe 1st or second quarter 2000), early models had the screw on HEPA filter cover and the later ones had the snap on covers. The E-series...

    Stimulus check vacuums

    Although I don't need the extra money as extra money is always nice, I am still doing what one should responsibly do with it and paying my bills due to the fact that one never knows what the future holds.

    Trash-picked Rainbow

    That is a D4 SE, made from About 1991 up until 1997 before that was the D4 which came out in 86. If you can get some of the attachments it is a pretty good machine. I have worked on hundreds of them.

    Not worth it: Riccar/Simplicity tandem air uprights

    I actually have one and I think what makes it effective at all is the stiff brushroll. Other than that, its loud, suction at the hose is weak, and i can hardly feel any air moving at the base when I place my foot in front of it. One of the biggest issues with the tandem air design that I have...

    Does Rainbow E2 Black really need a hepa filter?

    It does indeed need a hepa, the hepa does 2 things for the 2 speed units, one it captures the particles that bypass the separator and yes that does happen as not all dirt is water soluble, and 2 it gives the machine some back pressure... these machines actually have quite a bit of airflow and...

    Post Christmas cleanup

    I have been using my central vac, I have a few but use 2 a royal 820 tranquility from Evan Rogers, and an MD air-master A650 from Greg Palmer. Those usually do both my heavy duty and light cleaning. I’ll be doing a post holiday cleaning this week which will include putting stuff in the attic...

    My first mini meet YAY!!!

    Oh yes a winter wonderland indeed!!! The mini meet was a great time as always and I cannot wait to see everyone again! How was New Year’s Eve with Sam? I haven’t talked to him in a couple of days, said he was making an antipasto and rice pudding.
