    Rainbow SRX power nozzle review

    I’d say the stainless cleans well but does not fluff up the rug as well as the wooden one. The lever in the back is to release the handle so it’s not useless

    Rainbow SRX power nozzle review

    My dealer contacted me yesterday to let me know he had the SRX in. So went in today to see and have to say I wasn’t blow away. It doesn’t seem quieter like the specs said and it feels less powerful even though they said airflow is up. The multi speed is nice for air cleaning and the tilt...

    HELP! Hoover DAM not turning on

    I’m glad that it’s not a total loss. I can deal with having to occasionally spin the brush roll before starting.

    Hyla versus a hotel room.

    I have a EST on the way, can’t wait as I’ve never used a hyla before. I like that the est has the direct connect, that’s a big part of what’s been keeping me from getting one guess I’m spoiled by my rainbow black.

    HELP! Hoover DAM not turning on

    Got it back on Motor spun freely, I left the switch on and spun the motor backwards and it came to life. First instinct was to smack it which didn’t do anything lol.

    Questions about Ultra MVP

    Love mine I was lucky enough to get one NIB a year ago. Impressive airflow due to the huge dirt tube that leads right to the bag. The nozzle could sit a lit more flat on the carpet, it seems to barely touch due to the angle they designed. As others have said it’s heavy, kinda short for me to...

    HELP! Hoover DAM not turning on

    So went to turn on my NOS DAM this afternoon after changing the belt and the light bulb comes on but nothing from the motor. What could cause this?

    NOS Hoover DAM u6039 pics

    I’m glad you appreciated the photos, I figured it was the glue around the tube that had broken down. I think I’ll use a Miele pre motor filter just to be safe. I’m still shocked how good it is, I feel like all I’ve heard about this model how terrible it was.

    NOS Hoover DAM u6039 pics

    In picture 5 I noticed fine dust around the dirt tube area specifically the blue area off to the side, if this is common is there a easy fix? It’s not the bag leaking so don’t bother telling me that.

    NOS Hoover DAM u6039 pics

    Recently found this vac, it’s my first time using a dial a matic and it just so happens to be brand new. It’s a lot better than I thought and very smooth running machine. With a simplicity HEPA bag it performs great. The amount of NOS Hoover’s I have acquired this year is crazy.

    Vacuum bag fragrance

    I take the part of the febreeze plug in that goes in the glass jar out and suck it up in the bag. It’s kinda like a huge sebo stick, it’s very concentrated though and no amount of pet hair can over power it.

    New Oreck Cordless

    When I pick up my machines from their annual tuneup, I’ll give the riccar another try. I just returned my v10 on the 27th, like my dc59 better, the v10 is quiet but so is the v8 so I think that’s the model I’m going to next. The 10 just misses so many marks for me.

    New Oreck Cordless

    Just tried it Just dropped off my orbiter and my platinum and got to try out the new pod machine. It’s not worth it at all, I really wanted to like it so much too. The dirt capacity is 24 ounces, so the bag will fill up quick. It’s much louder than the dysons currently on the market and the...

    Buyer Beware: Rude eBay Seller

    That’s like a fantom I just bought but haven’t paid for yet because the seller needs to get a shipping quote, he lives in Connecticut as well. He writes back the next day saying it would be $65 to ship it or 45 if he drives it to me!!! Are you kidding me!? I wrote back that the handle can be...

    Black & Decker "The Collector" AC8000 Handheld Vac

    I have one that I got New a couple years ago. I remember wanting one as a kid back in the 90’s, I don’t think it’s that loud. The suction isn’t the greatest but it does pick up ok for what I’ve used it on. It’s pretty cool that when you remove the hose the brush roll stops. It has a lever...
