Your turbine went bad on the Hoover, fairly inexpensive part to replace. That will have your brushes running like new!

as a hoover dealer i must correct those on here calling our I stand corrected! Just looked at the serial plate on one of our 6 Platinums in for warranty work, and noticed it is made in Mexico. I guess it works to have a salesperson advise customers on how to use the machine. Unfortunately...

That has to be something that makes a difference. We do maybe 250-300 repairs per month on various machines and at any given time, we have at least 15 Bissell shampooers in the store. Let me know how the Hoovers fare down that way, the new Platinum and the "pressurized" carpet machines are...

The heater gets clogged, the pump goes bad, and then you have a minimum $80-$120 repair to replace the solenoid, heater, and pump. The heater doesn't really accomplish anything in the first place, because by the time it hits the carpet to do its thing, its already lost the extra 15 degrees that...

I have not had any direct experience with the unit so I can't judge. I notice a few friends are carrying it and I may join the crowd at some point. As long as it isn't anything like the household units, then it can't be that bad. I'm almost to the point of ordering one just to try it out...

Interesting that you prefer Rug Doctor. I'm a member of another forum exclusive to vacuum cleaner stores/dealers and nobody on there likes Rug Doctor. My biggest issue is the cheap construction of the machine and the weak pump and below average motor. The price you spend on a Rug Doctor...

Ahh, I need to pay my $35 so I can go back and correct things. Late night brain issue...my post should have read: cheaply made 28 psi pump. Thanks for the info and correction. I've always assumed it was a very weak pump, just didn't realize it was less weaker than I thought. :-)

I think the RD is good in theory, it just takes a special person like Andrew who will thoroughly use it. We replace a TON of pumps in the RD machines, especially the blue machines available at Wal Mart. The original pumps are very cheaply made 15psi pumps, very similar to the crap used in...

Very true Josh, the new Chinese Oreck cans are nothing to be proud of at all.

Any foaming shampoo will work. Name Brand Kirby is a lot better than the overpriced Aerus stuff put out. Try going to your local vacuum store and getting some Kwik Suds, that stuff works really well, too.

Its made by the same factory in China who does a lot of other canisters that look very similar. PN is pretty junky, but the canister is pretty much in line with Royal's S20 and Hoover's Windtunnel Platinum (same thing). Its nothing special by any means, but its a good price point for a power team.

Use your Hyla with PAM and hot tap water I'm going to have to chime in again here. NEVER trust things you see on the internet..... You should never ever ever under any circumstance spray PAM or anything inside of your basin on a vacuum cleaner. Keep in mind, most of the advice on here is...

Here's a suggestion that will actually work: Take the HEPA filter off of your Eur. MM. This will increase the airflow. Use it to suck the bugs up, throw the bag away in a garbage can prior to storing the vacuum. There will be no need to steam, disinfect, lysol or even put the vacuum...

Why do my "free" vacuums always end up costing me mo Just to let you in on a secret. When a vacuum store throws away a vacuum cleaner, its because it is taking up space, and not worth fixing or worth the parts. At my store, we throw away around 20-30 vacuums weekly. The cords are cut and...

If he is wiling to trade you the equivalent of almost $3000 Dave, I'd love for you to come buy my trade-ins anytime if you're paying that much :-) . Kirby Ultimate G= $75 Tristar= $150 Fantom Fury=$25 FQ Majestic= $150 Store Credit= $100 Total Value: $500 (Nowhere near $3000) The dealer...

You could probably sell it in your store and get that though, I think we got $350 for our last refurb floor pro we specially acquired for someone.

Good Luck with that price Good luck getting $400 for it. You can buy a new one for around $599-699 now, even though yours is new, its from 1999...

FRED! You trip me out! All I have to pay is $30 per year to be able to put things like that into my posts?

You made a great choice Malcom! Us Riccar/Simplicity dealers will always be there to take care of you! Welcome to the Tacony family!

Riccar and Simplicity are the same thing- same great dealers standing behind the same great products. Not sure what your price range is, but I would try a Vibrance Premium upright by Riccar with 15' attachment set or a Pristine or Immaculate canister. Georgia Vacuum and Sewing (770-963-1910)...
