People don't realize that there is a certain amount of upkeep needed to make sure that a vacuum keeps going.  Even the cheep shelf vacuums if properly taken care of will last a long time.  Clean the filters, clean the dust bins, change the bags and check the belts.   I recently started...

I have only had one experience with door to door sales. When I was in my early 20s my boyfriend scheduled a Kirby demonstration at my apartment. I had my Rainbow and I told Jeremy that I wasn't interested in a Kirby. He said it would be fun. The guy was horrible. He was rude and wasn't going...

When the cats eyes are green your cat is fully charged and ready to keep you awake all night.

A friend of mine stopped over to say hi and see the house.  It was the first time she has been here. I was showing her each room and what we had been doing with the place and I showed her my dated laundry room and she saw my vacuum.  I have known Teresa since I was in elementary school and I...

Rainbow D4C Eureka Optima Craftman Shop Vac

It's strange how peoples cleaning habits change over time.  My grandma and mom used to use the vacuum for everything: vacuuming the floors, carpets, furniture, knocking cobwebs, cleaning the walls and so on and so forth.  As my Grandma got older and for as many health problems she had she...

Three of the biggest names in vacuums and I was playing on their websites and they have virtually NO canister vacuums.  Both have a line up of three canister vacuums.  Hoover has power nozzles and Eureka has all straight suction. Bissell has two power nozzle models and all the rest are straight...

The entertainment factor with cats is maybe the biggest positive that I can find with them. If you think about it you really are handicapped. They can't clean the furniture, or walls, or stairs,  it's strictly floors. Video's of cats riding around on them really is the only fun thing about...

From my own experience... You have to have a house that will stay pretty clean. Don't get rid of your primary vacuum because you are still going to need it.  When it comes to pet hair they do okay but it's not going to do that great of a job.  my best friend had one and she had two labs and a...

I haven't seen a newsletter in a long time. Looking forward to seeing it.

My line up.  The only thing missing is my buckets and sponge.  The bigmouth shop vacuum is in the master bedroom since today we started replacing the sub-flooring. I'll use pretty much all of this!!! I'm starting Monday.  Hopefully tomorrow we will have the new sub-flooring down and our new...

My best friend and I went on vacation.  We made the travel arrangements when he was on deployment.  He was suppose to be gone just over a year so it was something that Theresa and I decided to do so that we could celebrate me graduating from college, and her birthday.  If you are unaware of how...

I went on vacation and Jacob went shopping and bought a new house warming gift for me. Or us I should say.  He picked up a new Eureka Optima.  He has never really liked my Rainbow, and was thinking that this would be perfect for cleaning up around the cat box, and keeping up with the cat and...

Thank you thank you!!! That makes sense. I kept looking at the wands and hose and couldn't see anything that would supply the electric supply. They look like wonderful machines, and they look like they were a lot of fun... Shocking aside.

I have a stupid question about the Lewytt. How is the hose electrified? I don't see any connectors, or cords. I don't see any connectors to the cleaning wands. How does the electric motor work? I hope that makes sense.

My Grandmother crafty in her own way... Used to use the empty cardboard rolls of wrapping paper as extra wands for extra reach. Years ago I had indoor outdoor carpet in the kitchen of my one apartment and it was to thin that the power vac for my Rainbow didn't pick up that well so I bought a...

Bank. I have been banking with Horizon Banking Company for the last eight years and I have not one bad thing that I can say about them. Jacob banks with USAA. Since I handle all of our finances I added him to my account for a joint account and he kept his USAA account for his needs and he just...

The new place we are moving into has a water softener. I have never had to think about this before. Will the salt from the softener harm my Rainbow?

I would maybe actually consider buying that.  It looks like it could be the perfect combination of upright and canister.

So let me fix my last statement. LOL I bought my vacation plan two round trip tickets and car rental through United Vacations. I have been paying on it since February. I didn't have that much of a balance left so I just used the money of what was going towards the vacuum and paid the rest of...
