    back pack vacuums...

    We sell a ton of the Royal backpacks to restaurants- they work great for polished concrete, bare floors, and other bare floor settings. In terms of being used on carpet- we would not even offer one as an option when consulting a commercial client. Without a powernozzle, it will not be as...

    The most gorgeous Montgomery Ward you'll ever see!

    Good lord, someone really wanted it at that price!

    Vacuum Copycats...

    As far as I know, all three machines are the same. There is a 5' difference in the cord length on the Royal and Hoover. The only thing they change is the color of the front bag and upper lid housing.

    Vacuum Copycats...

    You are correct about TTI. They cross over a number of models between Hoover and Royal. Some Dirt Devils are even turned into a Royal "commercial" line. As for Aerus' former design on the signature- I talked to our only Aerus store, about 20 minutes from our store in Columbia and compared...

    why it doing this.

    Here's another possible reason that hasn't been mentioned. Check the wear on the rear wheels- those quickly wear down if a former user buried the head in the carpet constantly.

    Help Please with my Ultralux Classic Model 1521

    Try buying the part at your local vacuum shop or one nearby. Every dollar that you spend online leaves your local economy and never returns. Not to mention, you ensure that you get a good, decent part and lots of knowledge from experts. Sun Valley Sew n' Vac is in Gilbert...

    I've Welcome The Garry Into Our Household

    The Garry is similar in design to the Tacony lightweights, but there is absolutely no comparison with the quality of the Riccar or Simplicity machine. I do know that there is one lightweight machine out there that is made by Tacony for another company. It was mentioned on the forum awhile back.

    Oreck stores.

    I guess in order not to offend you "experts" anymore, I have requested to be removed from the forum. Any of my friends on here can contact me via email or facebook.

    Oreck stores.

    The addition of Miele is equivalent to the final gasps before the death of the Oreck store. They are desperate to do anything to save their life. In reality, its just another vegetable on life support. Unfortunately, MOST (not all) Oreck store staff has no clue about anything other than...

    Future Buy: Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 vs. Kirby Avalir?

    Rumor has it that the shampoo system will be entirely different on the Avalir. Can't give anymore details other than that.

    I Found The Deal Of The Century!

    Dial-a-matic If I'm not mistaken, I think Panasonic purchased that design from Hoover. Its nice, they still use it today for the bulk of their upright machines. It is such a tried and true design.

    hardest belt to change

    Dyson is a pain to change, especially on the DC07 and 14. Lately, I've been bugged with the newer Eurekas where you have to stuff the belt around the shaft first and then roll the brushroll downwards and install it into the machine. We do Hoover Self Propelled machines daily and those are a...

    I Found The Deal Of The Century!

    The PN 1 is not a very deep cleaning nozzle- it was Electrolux's experimentation phase with a nozzle. The PN 2 (and Pn4) were designed for the carpet of that era (shag). The new Lux Power nozzles are fairly nice. They aren't overly deep cleaning, but they do have a nice chevron style brush...

    Hoover Windtunnel stink

    Just bad odor- change the flat wide belt and your self propelled feature should work.
