    New Brushroll?

    That's exactly why I like my simplicity synergy. After about 4 years the brushes got soft, I was able to change them out for something to the tune of $10. If your U1 agitates better than I'm sure that a new brushroll would help out the S7 but they are as you know pretty expensive.

    US DC07 All Floors (here in the UK)

    one thing I really don't like about those old dysons is how finicky the height adjustment can be. The only way I can get them to agitate the carpet is by adjusting the inlet hose and its not great at that

    Best F & G bag brands to use?

    I've found that the best paper bag you can use is the eureka filteraire bags, there are HEPA bags available but they're around $5-$6 a bag. For the best value I prefer the Arm&Hammer f&g, I found that they are made by eureka and when I compared them to eureka standard bags they where identical...

    Brandywine Eureka cordaway

    Hey everyone! I have Eureka Brandywine cordaway upright and wanted to know how long the cord is supposed to be. I know mine has a replacement plug and I think the cord may have been cut short because it's only 12 feet long!!! If anyone knows I'd appreciate it.

    Eureka the boss 1934a

    How do I make this shiny and new again?

    I had asked... When I had my fantom i asked this same question and what i was told was that black fantom plastic was the hardest plastic to shine back up to like new condition. As far as the dust bin goes the dirt acts like fine sandpaper and over time physically scratches the plastic and gives...

    Direct Air vs Bypass Air confusion

    On a bypass machine all the suction is going to the nozzle through a 1 1/4" hose normally placed on the side of the cleaner this makes the vacuum not pick up well in the side opposite the intake hose and because the hose is small the hose also reduces the amount of air. Think of it like this if...

    Direct Air vs Bypass Air confusion

    Let me see... So let me see if i can answer all your questions in one go, for a vacuum to work well on carpet you need 3 things, airflow (the amount of air the machine moves), agitation(the vibrating and grooming the brushroll does on the carpet) and suction (the amount of force the air is...

    Torn between Sebo D4 and Simplicity Moxie

    I think that the simplicity would be the better machine only because with the types of carpet you said you had I know that the simplicity powerhead will clean your carpet better than a sebo. also as mentioned above there is nothing to brake as far as the simplicity belt goes but the sebo belt...

My question is if you where selling off some machines to size down a collection would you use some of the money to buy a used but good condition Rainbow or would you send the Kirby in to...
