Sanimatic I find that my Sanitaire commercial vacs are more gentle on the carpet yet clean much better than residential/plastivacs. the "homestyle" vacuums often tend to have very hard bristles while my Sanitaires have softer but firm bristles that are nicer to the carpet. The same applies to...

rexaird That is indeed a clear fan. arh1953: That's one of the reasons I picked that model over the lower end Guardsman, cuz I like how it takes shape of the Decade 80. eurekastar: no the brushroll doesn't have beaters on it, the way the bristles are on one side of the brushroll it seems...

huh It sounds like my own Smart Vac must be a "lucky" one, I've had no complaints about it's structural rigidity besides the fact that it creeks, but nothing wobbles and mine feels very solid. I've never used a Smart Vac besides my own, so I can only speak for mine.

gottahaveahoove It's displayed and stored there, bedrooms not used by any more then a bunch of boxes and my vac collection anyway....The vacuums don't mind......lol

I like the Eureka and the Windtunnel the same personally. But they both are better at certain points. The Eureka is much less clog prone, is MUCH quieter and easier to tolerate soundwise, the bag is VERY easy to change, it has a decent Hepa filter design, and it's not as cheap feeling as a S/P...

Ok I got some photo's of my new Guardsman!

It was ordered on May 5th so it would get here in time for my May 14th birthday but that never happened... VCDiscounter, whom it was ordered from took a month and a half to get it in. Hoover/TTI probably sells so few that they don't stock any in the US and had to wait for them to manufacture it...

Mighty Mite I've got the Mighty Mite in yellow too, that's the daily driver in our house since we have pretty much all hardwood floors. It sure takes a beating and holds up well too! I LOVE the easy bag change on it, even when I'm not "in the mood" I can readily change the bag in the blink of...

Last I knew Target sold them too.

Broken handle Someone probably made it there wild dance partner..... Or someone got frustrated with it and threw it out a window LOL

I hate it's looks, not to mention bulky looking.

Hoover in my mind has turned into another plastic-vac brand that chooses form over function all the time. I'm a very practical person when it comes to appliances and there appearance, and I just find no appeal in modern "Hoovers". The only vac I can think of they have (besides the commercial...

Like any other "modern" vac, interesting, and interested to hear about how it performs (or doesn't). yeah I didn't learn about the stores chaining there vacs to the wall til I wanted to pull one down and have a real look at it...

joe22 I'm old fashioned, I usually levitate towards high quality, tried and true, or both. The Guardsman meets my "old fashioned" criteria perfectly lol.

The Guardsman Will be on it's way once the place online I ordered it from gets it in. I'll be patiently waiting in the mean time...

Eurekaprince I don't find it any easier to move the switch in any position. I guess it's a common thing amongst the Windtunnel self propelled and the Boss 4870 to have relatively easy to break bare floor switches.
