Thank you for all of the suggestions! I've actually tried the Shark and Miele uprights before too. Guess I'm too picky ;) The Shark was actually the closest to "perfect" upright vacuum that I have used...just didn't love emptying the container after every use. I'm very much a "bag" kind of...

Hi All, So I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what's available out there on the market right now but thought I'd check and see if I'm missing anything. I'm looking for a vacuum to use when I don't feel like dragging out the central vacuum. Currently, we have a Vacuflo with Hide-A-Hose...

Tom - this is a bit off-topic but definitely consider skipping the vacpan and put in a Hide a Hose Outlet. I literally forget we even have the thing because it's so hard to access under the toekick of our kitchen island. It's also extremely loud in operation! We have about 9 standard outlets...

I had a Roomba 530 for a few years that did an admirable job of picking up my dog's copious amounts of hair from the floors in between regular vacuumings in my last home (a townhouse). However, as previous members have mentioned there is no suction and once I moved into my current house (rather...

I actually reached out to Tom after reading up on these machines and I got the red Riccar which I absolutely love! Yes, there are limitations in that it doesn't have tools on board but I tend to use my central vac with hide a hose for my wood floors and furniture cleaning. Besides, I had a...

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know a reputable Aerus dealer who may have a new-in-box Aerus upright that was from the last production run? I'd love to have a new Aerus upright but hate the new color scheme. I'm in the Washington, D.C. area and the local dealership where I bought my Epic 3500...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had a Nutone 598 powerhead in good working condition that they would be willing to part with? Attached is a picture for your reference.

I bought one of these two weeks ago after getting rid of my Dyson DC65 Complete...I use the tools a lot and trying to do that with a Dyson is a real hassle. I absolutely LOVE the Shark..especially since the powerhead still works when you lift off the main vacuum unit to get underneath chairs...

I have the Dyson DC59 and really enjoy it! I like being able to zip through the hardwood floors on the main level if my partner is using the central vac with Hide a Hose on the furniture or rugs. I think Dyson has done a great job with their cordless vacs and some of their tools. However, I...

The videos definitely make it look tempting! May have to return my over-priced Dyson DC65 for one of these bad boys. The Dyson does well on the carpets and rugs but using the tools is the WORST! I miss the tool set up on my parents' Dyson DC07...so much more user-friendly...

Thanks for the responses! We work between 50 to 60 hours per week so after that, the gym, and all the other crap that pops up running the vacuum every day isn't on our top ten list. However, with that being said we tend not to enjoy seeing our amazing dog's hair all over the floors :) The HAH...

Hi Everyone! I've had a Roomba 530 in the past when I lived in a townhouse. It did a great job minimizing the amount of dog hair all over the house and it was relatively easy to confine Roomba to various rooms as they were much smaller. In my current house, I have about 4,000 sq. ft of wide...

We have the Dyson DC59 Animal model and since I purchased it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond a few months ago I'm VERY tempted to return it and buy the Motorhead version. I really like the DC59 animal as it does a wonderful job on our wood floors and wool area rugs. It doesn't do so hot on our wall...

I saw that deal and almost jumped right on it! However, I've been reading the reviews on the Axis on QVC's website and it has nearly 50 two or one-star reviews basically complaining of it's inability to clean carpet deeper than short pile. I'll have to see if I have any scraps I can take with...

Thanks everyone for all of your input. My experience with Sebo is that they're pretty well-built and when they're working, they do a wonderful job. Unfortunately, the X4's auto adjust sensor stopped working and it's just been sitting in my parents' basement unused for the last 4 years. Last...

The Sebo looks nice! I haven't had an Oreck since about 2006 and it was a white XL upright so not sure how the newer ones perform. I've read good things on here and was tempted to order the Oreck Axis when QVC had them on because I believe the new swivel models cost upwards of $500.

Hi All, Looking for a secondary vacuum to replace my Dyson DC41...I'm over bagless! Aside from the Miele S7 (too heavy) is anyone aware of another good bagged upright vacuum with swivel steering? Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I know Aerus is now selling the above attachment kit in black. However, does anyone know where I may purchase a kit in white for a reasonable price? It would be my second kit but with a shedding dog, I love the idea of an electric side kick attachment for my couch. Thanks for any...

We have frieze in our family room with hardwood everywhere else. Granted, the carpet is only a year old but the BEST vacuum to clean this carpeting has been our the Wessel Werk "Edge" powerhead that came with our Dirt Devil 990 Pro Series central vac system. We have also had good luck with our...

Excellent question. I may end up doing so but before buying I wanted to see if there was something better out there that I had been missing. That and I tend to avoid Ebay purchases whenever possible. I've seen the Rugrat but that looks a bit too bulky. I guess the best solution would be to...
