    Direct Air vs Bypass Air confusion

    Durango There was a bissell direct air with a hard body that had a bag full indicator light, late 90's can't remember the model. I remember it clearly though, it was plum colored with the hose going up the side of the unit and stopping at the top. Many Hoover hard bodied units had the little...

    To sell or not sell my kenmore power handle canister

    Rob Thanks, yes I have backed out of the deal with the buyer and told him I need more time, he completely understands. It's been close to three weeks now and like every other machine I sell I just forget about them, Im thinking this will be the case with this machine as I haven't even used it...

    To sell or not sell my kenmore power handle canister

    Yess That's exactly what I've been thinking but I just needed to hear it. The person who I would sell it to says it would basically complete his collection, he is an avid Panasonic and kenmore canister fan.

    To sell or not sell my kenmore power handle canister

    This is a tough one for me, I've been told it really rare and that I should not get rid of it but at the same time I'm just not into it anymore and hardly use it. So is it so rare I should just keep it even though I don't use it much, just looking for second opinions basically. I already have a...

    Has anyone made a filter queen HEPA cone?

    Yea I was thinking that since they are smooth that would help versus the hepa bags, I just read about people saying they lose airflow quickly. So I kind of figured the cone was just like a thin paper bag like a traditional vac and when you use a hepa bag it sometimes makes the performance...

    Has anyone made a filter queen HEPA cone?

    By this I mean taking a hepa bag and cutting it to fit inside of a filter queen. If so were your results good?

    Still my favorite Oreck.

    I love my green one, I find the small power nozzle cleans better than my Miele 217 and they are very close almost identical. But I feel it grooms better and when you pull back it covers the rear wheel tracks. I remember consumer reports rating the Bosch canisters with this power head a lot...

    Mid 1990s Bissell Upright Infomercial

    Very cool I remember that infomercial very well. I liked the part where they had some kind of ball in a clear plastic tube that went from the hose of the bissell to the hose of a Hoover powermax upright, the burgundy colored one. They turned on the Hoover first and it sucked the ball, they...

    Once and For All... TriStar CS Motor???

    I think Made a post about this awhile ago. But anyways as the owner of the current model I can tell you that it is a regular single stage brushed motor like the ones found in the new aerus vacs. I don't know how anyone could confuse it for a brushless or two stage. Colby

    Electrolux Ultralux Handle Issue

    It's pretty easy to take that top cover off. There is a screw up front and under the blower door I believe and the top comes right off. It's probably stripped though
