I've had two robotic vacuums in my adult life - a Roomba 530 back when I bought my first townhouse and now the Neato D7. The Roomba 530 was the epitome of a robotic carpet sweeper. I bought it when I got my first dog and needed something to run on my first floor to keep up with her shedding...

I have only had my Dyson V11 Torque Drive for a few months but I will say it's definitely powerful and has saves me time cleaning throughout the week. If necessary, I could probably do my whole house (5,000 sq. ft) on a single charge in Auto mode which would never happen with the V8. It's...

At first glance these remind me of the old Eureka Excalibur uprights from the mid 90s.

Thanks for the feedback Tom! I really want to get my hands on one but need to figure out how to unload the Volt as there aren't too many hide a hose users in my area.

My family usually ends up with any vacuums that I no longer need/want. For example, my parents now have my Riccar Supralite because they're in their 70's and no longer want to mess with their central vac system. My brother got my Miele canister when I built a home with central vac. On another...

I own a Dyson V8 and like it for its intended purpose. To me, it's perfect for mid-week cleanings of the floors and sofas. It's no replacement for a corded vac so I still use my central vac at least once a week to deep clean the rugs. If I were on a budget I certainly wouldn't pay that much...

I have to agree with Tom on the vacpans. They are SO loud when you turn them on that I avoid using them. My partner will use them here and there but I've never been a fan of sweeping. I'd love to add a WallyFlex to my laundry room but not sure how to do that without really tearing up my...

It sounds like you have a pretty good set up for your system. I haven't tried that particular powerhead but I have the following powerheads - 1) Wessel Werk EBK 360 in white (Vacuflo's version) 2) Volt powerhead for when I use the hide a hose outlet rather than the standard outlets. 3)...

Some women at work were talking about a newer YouTube craze - "Clean with Me" videos. Naturally, I had to check these out. Watching these videos I was shocked at the number of people who are cleaning their homes top to bottom using cordless stick vacs. Every now and then you'll see a corded...

I know that several of you purchased Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum's when they were first released several years back. I recall you having favorable opinions of this particular model. I'm just curious if you still enjoy this machine or if the appeal faded over time?

Great ideas everyone! I actually had a Riccar TOL Supralite for about a year before I gifted it to my mom. Definitely a quality machine. I think we had a Simplicity 5200 upright back when I was in middle school and it moved out with my older brother when he went to college. I remember in a...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a vacuum recommendation for my specific needs. I have a fairly large house (~5,000 sq. ft) with mainly hardwood floors and wool area rugs on the main level and a frieze wall to wall in my family room. The bedrooms also all have wall to wall carpeting of avg...

I'd say hit or miss sums it up best. I've actually owned three of the models and liked the first two. I had the original Shark Rotator Professional pictured in the video clip above. It worked pretty well for the first two years before it began losing suction. The second one I purchased from...

Forgot to add that I believe my parents system is still using the whisperbelt nozzle but they primarily use their Riccar Supralite or Dyson DC65.

I absolutely LOVE my Vacuflo Edge Powerhead kit! It's a white Wessel Werk 360 with a headlight. It comes with a separate telescopic wand to keep the twist & turn floor brush attached. It screams quality and does a wonderful job on all of our various rugs and carpets. It's a little heavier...

Re: GUV I had one at my last house that didn't have a central vac so I could clean out my car without taking the Miele outside. It worked good at first but the filter clogs VERY quickly and my unit tended to spark when I turned it on. Personally, I wouldn't purchase one. Vacumaid makes a garage...

I'd say 95% of the time I just use the garage hose on my central vac. It's super easy to get around the garage rather than dragging a canister around. I always laugh when I see my neighbors struggle with their Dyson upright hoses cleaning out their cars. The machine is sliding around...

I've been wanting to try the "Electrolux" version for sometime because it seems less bulky than the Volt. I know I'm in the minority but I just am not that impressed with the Volt. I've had it for a couple of years now and I guess I was expecting it to groom the carpeting as well as my TOL...
