I always tell my customers that Dyson is the best bagless on the market. Remember the best bagless. The thing I have against Dyson is you are paying $400 and more for nothing more than a heap of plastic. There are no features other than being bagless that makes the Dyson stand out. There is...

Strong point in case Sptyks, but I believe at the price they are selling them for they should be made here in the States. It would just give another good selling point to the product itself.

Thanks Nar. I have a tendency to collect more commercial machines anyway. They feel more well thought out just like the Essential G. I may wait to see one on person thought if it is more bulky than the X models.

The Canton Ohio plant was not closed until about 2007 if I remeber correctly.

Nar have you had an opportunity to try the new Evolution upright? It is really growing on me and with the Mechanical version using the same bag and tower filter as the X series makes me want to get one even sooner. They look like a more redesinged X series. I will never give up my Essential G...

Hoover is not leaving the commerical market. Hoover has a strong name in commerical floor care just like Sanitaire and Windsor. If anything is leaving you have to watch the Royal line. Royal is going to be slimming down to just the metal uprights which will be made in Tennessee also. Hoover...

They are on backorder from the Dealer Portal. I would not be to concerned though. TTI is moving it's commercial manufacturing to Cookeville and what we are seeing could very well be that transition. They would have to stop production to move lines and re establish those lines in America. 

I got to see one of these before they were released. I am not a fan of the unit. The quality is just not there for a unit with this price tag. It feels cheap and very flimsy. The hose in particular feels like it will just rip apart at any second. The biggest issue that I have is there is no...

I have a Rainbow Blue Label and to me it is more black like the newer E series. I would not say pitch black but it is definitely more black than gray.

Ditto on Fresh Wave and fabric softener pellets. I sell Fresh Wave at work as well and also use it on my bench vac's. My customers swear by this stuff. I use fabric softener pellets at home and they work really well. I use them in my Kirby, Oreck, and Sanitaire (all of which use Hepa bags), and...

There are many sleazeball artists out there. It is no where near that much for a Dyson Clutch. If we have to replace the clutch at our store it is only $29.99 for the clutch and roughly $19.99 labor. To replace the belts is about the same as 3rdGenVacGuy. There are so many people out there who...

Edmar Vac Edmar Vac is the main company that promotes these items. It would not surprise me if they all come out of the same factory and those with more inside knowledge could fill in for me, but Edmar Vac used most of the Bissell Commercial models except for this Powerforce, and Bissell's Big...

Ouch... "I may no longer own 400 vacuums but thankfully I don't work in the industry where the constant selling approaches without the realities of day to day cleaning are undertaken." Nar, I will admit that I take some offense to this comment. There are several on this site that have either...

It is not the motor. If you listen closely you can hear the motor and the separate grinding noise. Even though the brushroll may turn freely, at high speeds, when bearings die, they tend to make a grinding noise. Take the brushroll out like suckolux mentioned and go from there. If it stops...

Oreck's are one of the easiest machines to work on. However yes they are screamers. The only thing that I do not like about Oreck's in commercial settings is the brushrolls are soft and wear so quickly due to the soft bristles. A lot of people use them on hard floors, and that is good but it...

I believe the brush roll for this unit is discontinued. I tried to look one up for a customer a couple of days ago and could not find a single supplier who had one in stock. I would keep searching the internet and see if anything pops up.

I hope it works out for you. These machines are built like tanks and are excellent cleaners. Hope yours can get fixed.

Hi Shaun and welcome to the site. I agree with Mark that if you are looking at a Kirby you should take a look at the Riccar Tandem air Machines. I am a Simplicity dealer and sell the equivalent which is the Simplicity Synchrony and Synergy. The Tandem Air's are made with metal where it needs to...

True it is on constantly, however with the unit running and the separator churning the water, it will not be as stagnant, it is the stagnant water that harms the Rainbow.

What you have seems to be very similar to the now discontinued Simplicity 7850. However Riccar still makes a model just like this that is now called the 8955. I could not find any parts schematics doing an online search however I know they are out there however when I access them I am logged on...
