and makes a great point on why not to buy a vacuum from Wal Mart or similar and buy from a place that specializes in vacuums instead. Another obvious case of price adjusting and cutting materials is kitchen and bath faucets. Say you took a faucet from Home Depot, and one from a plumbing supply...

I wouldn't count on the T-Series bagless lasting a day in the hands of the average careless rough consumer. I probably wouldn't even recommend the bagged version I have to most of my relatives.

Keep in mind that it's the companies sourcing out these things made in China that are in control of the quality of the final product. I've found quite a few certain things made in China that are actually of pretty good quality compared to most stuff you see come out of there.

Mexico and China are the only current production places I know of.

For quite awhile I've been wanting a Riccar upright and a Miele Canister. I have to do my research on that... But those Riccars are built like tanks! Never seen a Miele in person though.

thinking about the past is like opening a closet you haven't been in, in well, however long it's been. It's interesting to think back on the 90s in terms of that.

Just made and posted a video of my T-Series and Smartvac sucking up shredded paper back to back. T series was a little more hungry then the smartvac, but in the end the smartvac had less paper stuck in the brushroll.

I've heard alot of complaints about the regular Windtunnel tipping over when you use an attachment and try to stretch the hose... I tested the tipping resistance on my T-Series today... They seem to have thought that one through a bit this time, the hose comes out of the bottom of the vacuum as...

bimmer740 I never had trouble changing the bag in original Windtunnels, in fact I thought it was fairly easy. I consider it more of a pain to change a Kirby or an F&G bag. But nevertheless it certainly couldn't be more easy and clean to hold the bag cover over the trash and press the button and...

This belt hasn't shown any slipping besides in the video, for some reason that Sanitaire ALWAYS slips the belt when vacuuming up solids or powders.

My sanitaires belt after it's a little worn and I start it up cold will slip until enough friction has warmed it up and made it more "sticky" my S634 doesn't do that though. The Hoover's belt is pretty good about not wearing out too quickly, I think I changed it once since getting it.

I spent some time analyzing the build quality today and came to the conclusion that everything on this Windtunnel T Series is paper thin and in other words "simplified", guess that's how they got the weight to 15 pounds. So I'd have to advise to anyone that has one to be careful about knocking...

I haven't changed the belt in the Sanitaire in probably nearly a year. It probably needs it but I'm seeing how long I can make this one last. Those belts seem to stretch out and weaken almost right after putting a new one in and I could be replacing them every week if I were fussy about it.

Back on Saturday I was at Kohls and came across a bagged T series on display. Hadn't seen one in person yet so I looked it over and it looked pretty nice, fairly solid built and not too flimsy, except for the handle which tends to twist a little more easily then I'd like. Fast forward to today...

I wouldn't have it sound any other way. The whole tone of the motor is very pleasing to the ear and anything but painful to listen to, unlike vacuums like the Windtunnel which will deafen you.

I finally got around to making a video of my Hoover Guardsman C1631 that I got brand new back in June. Gotta love the sound of the motor starting up!

I don't have a sanitaire with the newest motor, but my S634 smelled for a little bit. the SC-888 didn't.
