    Battery vacuum advice

    I bought a Hoover Cruze on a whim and have been very happy with it. No it is not a full size vacuum, it is a stick with a power nozzle that has a very small rotating brush that will wrap with pet hair very rapidly. I use it more for quick clean ups or touch ups. Then the hard floors in the...

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    Power Nozzle I am not in love with the Sirena Power nozzle. I don't like the adjustments that aren't marked. I wish it had a headlight. It appears to clean ok, but doesn't adjust down enough to clean the low pile indoor/outdoor type carpet. Not bashing the machine, I use it quite...

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    Motor smell I bought my Sirena new, and I have to agree it had the worst "new motor" smell of anything I have ever purchased. I found using the fragrances helped mask the odor, but it took a good year before I didn't wonder if the thing was burning up inside. Two years later, I have had a...

    Latest Vacuum!

    I just got one of those Two weeks ago. I like the Bissell very much. In fact I would have to call it one of my favorite bagless machines. The anti hair wrap brush works well, and I especially like the hair spooler which allows the vacuum to be emptied without having to reach up and pull...

    What happens to your vacuums ?

    As with any collector I am afraid they would sell my stuff for what I told them I paid, instead of what I really paid.  Remembering its only worth what you are willing to pay.
