    Aerus in Australia!

    So, as I've mentioned before, I'll soon be making the move from Fort Wayne, Indiana all the way to Brisbane, Australia! So I'm looking into the vacuum market over there because, let's face it I'm a dork and you are, too, so don't hate. Anyway, I'm on the website for Godfrey's which is...

    Dyson Dc04 Zorbster

    Holy Crap! Hey, are you sure you didn't run that last picture through photoshop and adjust the while levels? Jk. That did a fantastic job! Bravo! I've never had a lot of respect for Dysons, but that did a wonderful job. That rug looks almost brand new. Now if you just take a Kirby to it...

    9 Top High Tech Vacuums

    And their all crap! (Except the Miele) You see, people will read this and assume that because a sweeper is high tech, it's good and they just aren't. Really, a turbo brush for $70 with no motor? And how about that $400 piece of junk stick vac? Wow, just wow...

    ORECK

    I have been seeing the new oreck "hybrid" vacuum in the store lately. They've had it at Meijer (Midwest competitor to Wal-Mart) for months now. They look and feel like total pieces of crap. Admittedly, though, I always thought the XL was crap just because of the weight and what I thought was...

    Simplicity Synergy X9 or G9?

    I know a Simplicity Dealer This is the vac shop where I get a lot of my parts and it's also where I get some of the stuff they don't want to handle. This particular dealer hates selling the Synchrony or the Synergy because of the dirty air motor. I have only owned one Synergy and guess what...

    Modernizing a mystery Kirby

    Take it! This Kirby is not that bad and they are very simple machines. You could have this is reasonable working condition, likely, in just a few hours. This one is old. Pre-Dual Sanitronic. I would say its from the 50's, probably no later than a 515, the black handle is important. The...

    Something I think is incredibly rare...

    Well, I haven't hooked up a cord yet so I do not know if it runs. Honestly, I haven't had a lot of time to do anything with it. I was able to find a bag clip off of something or other to hold that bagger closed but other than that, I haven't had time to even really clean it up, much less...

    Miele Quickstep

    Yeah, you won't go through bags that fast. Maybe half that fast, unless you have a mansion with lots of kids, etc.

    Something I think is incredibly rare...

    The Heritage-G is on Display at that vac shop. The owner has really taken a fancy to it and has offered me a substantial trade for it including all of the following: a kirby sentria, a filter queen majestic, a rainbow e4, and a riccar radiance. I'm tempted, but again, moving out of the country...

    Domestic Vacuums in Commercial Settings

    This is an Epidemic Like most people, business owners and managers don't know their rear end from a hole in the ground when it comes to vacuum cleaners. These people are not experts in vacuums, they're experts in their business. Furthermore, it's not their home. They're not worried about...

    Miele Quickstep

    Awesome The Quickstep is a spectacular machine. More powerful than many uprights and quieter than just about anything else I've ever seen. Super versatile with the wand setup choices and the ability to use any Miele PN. This is actually good enough to replace an upright in many situations...

    Something I think is incredibly rare...

    bvac: That's because I, too, am in Fort Wayne! I pulled it out of a secret honey hole where I like to venture when I'm looking for something interesting. Yes, the cord is cut off JOY! and there is supposed to be something holding the bagger together at the top. I grabbed a generic steel one...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Boy that thing is pretty No offense, but Aerus hasn't exactly done much in styling in some time... I'm glad they finally updated the styling of the cannister, though I'm disappointed that they have yet to address that of the power nozzle or the uprights.
