Ahhh.. gotcha...I guess I was puzzled because I didn't think that the belt rubbing against something could be a good thing.

Thanks I think the main reason I was wondering if I had it on correctly is after vacuuming then opening the bottom to check to see if things looked ok...the belt had slightly moved in this direction.. I put arrows showing...the bottom arrow the side of the belt was touching that.

Hey guys...I'm almost embarrassed to ask such a question on here about changing a belt....Here's the thing...It's been about a year and I decided to take the brush roll out...vacuum around down there and while I was there I changed the belt...used the vacuum for a week... everything seemed...

Interesting On my cirrus - using the genuine Cirrus HEPA bags (which to me don't feel horribly thick) but they are really good. I see no dust at all in any part of the bag chamber..the bag chamber door..etc... The way the bags are inserted are tricky..I have to lay the vacuum on its back and...

Hey Rob... thanks for that detail.....so a vintage vacuum can stir up dust because the airpath where the dirt is being sucked up may not be perfectly sealed...I guess sort of creating some airborne dust as it's vacuuming it? Makes sense...

Hey Dysonman...that's true. I did not think of that. Then when you said that it hit me that power nozzles on canister vacuums have their own motor but they do not have filters on them.. LOL

Vac devil... what do you mean leaking air of vintage machines? If you used a HEPA bag where would the air leak if it's going into a HEPA bag... also... I totally didn't even think about motor emissions...Carbon dust.... etc.

Hey - I know lots and lots of vacuums use HEPA bags but in addition to that they have a HEPA filter (often sealed)...what I'm wondering is...what if a vacuum uses a HEPA bag but does not have a HEPA filter? Is the result going to be the same since practically nothing escapes those HEPA bags...

I was eyeing that Royal in the video I guess the closest thing to that would be a Kirby... Is Royal gone now?

Oh crap...I was able to find the video I remember watching with one search...I know it's the video...but for some reason I'm remembering it slightly wrong. He didn't say vacuums with hoses don't work...he just was saying direct air machines clean much better... my carpets must be FILTHY...

I actually don't enjoy vacuuming. LOL A while back.. I remember watching a youtube video...I'm trying to remember but I think it was some Vacuum Shop in St. Louis...The guy seemed knowledgeable in the video...and it had a lot of views. I remember him saying that basically any vacuum cleaner...

the most impressive thing to me is the fact that the HEPA bags are not that outrageously expensive...nor are the HEPA filters...and the bag chamber stays clean...the reason that's so impressive to me is over the years with any bagged vacuum I've had in the past...there was always some dust in...

I think the Cirrus Vacuums are too expensive too I feel like (at least the one I have) is a $350 vacuum and not a $500 vacuum... The build quality is better than throw away vacuums for sure but it's not what I would call a premium built vacuum.. sort of falls between cheap and premium I...

Hey Kirbylux thanks...I didn't consider the fact that it would be raised..I was imagining the brushroll spinning into the carpet in the same place while vacuum is parked running...My current Cirrus raises off the ground probably identical to that one..and you're right...the brushroll doesn't...

Hey panasonicvac that cleanmax looks nice but I'm confused. Would there being no clutch mean that the brushroll is ALWAYS running? Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that's what the clutch did...there is no way in hell I would want an upright with the brushroll always running with no way to turn it...

well I love my CR-79...never a hint of dust in the bag chamber thanks to the HEPA bags no matter how long I go without changing them...and the after market 14 foot extension hose with tools I can use it as a canister. I hate the tools that came with it I don't use them...I think they are made to...

about 4 years ago when I bought my Cirrus CR79 (green) it was in the $350 dollar range in price. Now, that same vacuum is in the $500's..every year I check out of curiosity it goes up in price...It is confusing because I've seen so many vacuums that look almost identical except for a few minor...

when I see sellers selling refurbished/serviced machines on Ebay...this is what I HOPE they do to them before they sell them. This was perfect..Every nook and cranny cleaned..

It's true...vacuums will last if you take care of them..... but I've never had a vacuum where the HEPA filter lasts as long as it does in my Rainbow...At this point I can't remember the last time I changed mine and air still pours out the back... I fill my basin up with more water...like 1/2...

Wow - you went longer than I did...I think I went 5 years with my first one...not because I lost efficiency or anything...but I just thought...how much longer can this thing last? so I cut into it after I took it out and it had LOTS of life left in it...and there was zero smell...again..this...
