    Oreck Intake seal

    Just found out Apparently Oreck doesn’t even make the intake seal anymore. The Oreck store informed me that they just wash the intakes and don’t replace the seal. That’s kinda poor if you ask me. Where would I get a pilot service kit? And where would I get Oreck intake seals if they do in fact...

    Oreck Intake seal

    Ball joint Yeah I saw a tune up procedure video for the ball joint swivel neck and I do believe mine needs that. I tighten the locking screw a lot because my pilot tends to lean a lot for some reason. Tightening that screw every once in awhile helps. What does everyone think about putting a...

    Oreck Intake seal

    I have an Oreck Platinum Pilot from 2011 and my local Oreck Store has closed. Apparently every Oreck Store in my state and neighboring states have closed. I want to get an intake seal off of Amazon so I can perform my own tune-ups, but I’m not sure if it will work for a Platinum Pilot or if it...

    New Shark Uplight Stick Vac

    Dyson v10/11 Does anyone notice it looks like a Dyson v10/11 design? So does the Bissell. I guess everyone’s off to copying Dyson’s new design instead of making their own unique design.

    Question: Door to door bagless upright

    Just realized Why would that home have this hunk of junk vacuum when they have a central vac? When they begin to clean the stairs at 5:40 in the video there is a central vac inlet right by the stairs. This is one of the most ridiculous vacuums I have ever seen and the biggest waste of money...

    How do you put a vacuum cleaner to sleep...?

    I Know! Drop it in the pool and be like "Idk what happened."

    When did Oreck Stores start selling Riccar vacs?

    I sure hope so I think Tacony would be a way better parent company than TTI. TTI seems to love throwing out plasticrap and generic designs. I will have to check my local Oreck store because my closest vacuum shop has some rude and disrespectful check out people who apparently no zero about...

    Which Kirby Generation is the best?

    thank you! A couple of years ago there was a Sentria 2 for sale on ebay that had been used at a school library. It was priced low but I decided that it was too dubious for me. I will consider the Sentria 2. I have never used a Kirby and would like a chance to try one but there is no way for me...

    Which Kirby Generation is the best?

    I am considering on getting a Kirby. I would like one of the Generation series with Tech Drive. I prefer the looks of the G5 and newer. I also do not want one with Tech Drive that makes that horrible noise when pushed forward and back which seems to be a common issue on older generations.

    My Valentine’s Day Present!

    That’s funny Last year I bought a Miele S7 salsa on v day. It was just a coincidence that it was v day and happened to be red. 😂

    Miele active airclean filter

    I just Bought the same thing I've been using, the hepa airclean. I got some scent tabs too so hopefully that'll help. It hasn't been too bad lately. I really miss the blue hepa aircleans. The old ones, though not practical to Miele, were hepa with a charcoal activated layer. Those were...

    Miele active airclean filter

    I was wondering, does the current Miele active airclean (charcoal pet filter) contain hepa media. I want to get this for my Miele but I want it to draw a zero on the particle counter test. I can’t seem to find anything on it except how to change it and it’s a odor reducing filter. Does anyone...

    Question about Miele S7 Series Uprights

    Well you’re talented. I just bought a salsa instead and ignored the twist. I’ve used a twist and loved it but gotta have a headlight. I only work on my S5. Speaking of which I have a brand new cord reel for the S500 series if anybody wants it. Make an offer, I meant to get an S5000 cord. I’ve...

    I Robot Vacuum

    Roomba 790 I’ve had several Roombas. I often forgot to empty them and never cleaned them out. Maybe that’s why my first two burnt out the brush rolls motor and fans and just craped out. My current Roomba is a 790. Because it came with all the maintenance parts and had a “bin full” light, I...

    Electrolux

    Yep It’s a eurekalux. It’s not bad at all. It really depends on the household it’s used in, this is my grandmothers vac. She has a couple of full size vacs that family members have gotten her over the years because they have that model and it’s “good”. She doesn’t use them and their too heavy...

    Electrolux

    Thanks That sounds about right. I know I’ve had it awhile and got it at Lowe’s a few summers ago. The box accidentally got thrown out. So the receipt and user guide are gone. It’s always worked great although the brushroll clean doesn’t work that well anymore. It’s a disappointment that Lowe’s...

    Question about Miele S7 Series Uprights

    It’s really hard I would NOT try to fit a headlight. I would’ve probably asked this before buying because I considered doing this to save money when I was looking to purchase one. I traded a vacuum in and got a S7 salsa for cheaper than a twist. I’ve had my S7 for years and considered...
