    Home air quality rants

    @dysonman1 I removed my attic fan. Unless you have the conditioned space completely sealed off from the attic then the attic fan is pulling out conditioned air and raising your electric bill. There was a article that I read that talked about HEPA filters and what got them started into being...

    Home air quality rants

    Hepa on vacuums its generally bad. Bad for suction power but good for general health to an extent. I think there is a lot of people right on the verge of becoming allergic to certain things. This is my experience with never having a hepa vacuum and then suddenly having one and relatively...

    Home air quality rants

    I wouldn't say breathing in lots of dust is bad. Sure its probably not "good" for you but our bodies have natural ways of stopping that. It's the smallest of particles that are bad. I assume the smallest of particles is odor. Is odor even a particle or is odor the airborne particles? Probably...

    Home air quality rants

    I have been on this website for about 2 years I believe. I don't read it everyday but I try to stop by once a week or so. I also am by no means a professional HVAC person but have worked along side them and work in maintenance and construction my whole life. As a hobby/part time job I am really...

    Hotel vacuums.

    I think most of the hotels in Myrtle beach on the ocean front are no longer carpeted. Which kind of suprises me because I'm thinking humidity and cool floors in a air conditioned room equals a broken hip. If we have to stay in a hotel its always a fairly nice one. My wife gets points and all...

    Thank you vacuundevil. Today I received the hose and wand that they misplaced before I bought it. They were all in perfect condition which adds to the fact that I don't think this machine was ever used but once ot twice with attachments only. This thing out performs my Rainbow by an almost...

    Brand new Sentria 2

    Wow!!!! HonestJoe68 is that a buffed finish? It looks really shiny and absolutely fantastic. I took a microfiber cloth to mine just to clean it up and she looks great. I do have a few questions though... What exactly is the difference between the Kirby microallergen bags and the plus bags...

    Brand new Sentria 2

    Ok guys, This is just incredible. I try to keep a somewhat clean home but 4 cats a dog and 2 kids keep cleanliness at bay most days. Amazingly I dont really have a issue with pet hair. I dont see any tumble weeks and its never clogged any vacuum I have used. I did end up getting the Rainbow...

    Brand new Sentria 2

    Well I got it. A rarely used Kirby Sentria 2. The brush roll and belt look brand new and the bag is empty. The wheels look great along with the outer bag. Emtor is as clean as I have ever seen. The previous owner says they might be able to find the hose but that is all that is missing besides a...

    Should I sale my Rainbow or keep it?

    I'm hopefully picking up a brand new Sentria 2. I say brand new because apparently it has only been used a few times and it belonged to this girl's grandmother. We shall see. What would I be looking for to determine how many hours this think has been ran? She sent me a video of it and it looks...

    Should I sale my Rainbow or keep it?

    I found some Kirbys locally but they are all sentrias or older. I would like to have a Avalir or Avalir 2 as I have heard about and seen 1st hand of how they shampoo carpets. But what is y'alls opinion of it. I will keep the rainbow and keep looking for good deals on Kirbys. How often do...

    Should I sale my Rainbow or keep it?

    Well I will probably keep the Rainbow but where would the best place be to look for Kirbys. I already checked the pawnshops but not goodwill yet. Also I dont many newer ones show up on the locals sales pages. I think the newest one Ive seen is a Sentra or Sentra 2. Are they worth it at a certain...

    Should I sale my Rainbow or keep it?

    I forgot about pet stains and I have never really used the Rainbow to clean up spills from the kids. It seems likes its a real hassle to use. I feel like it takes me awhile to vacuum with my rainbow too. Any tips are much appreciated. Sounds like I will keep the Rainbow just for that. I just...
