    Custom Oreck w/cam

    Not dumb at all. This one does not. Cool idea, but this is just a monitor - though it does turn on without requiring the vacuum to be running. Thanks for checking it out ~

    The BEAST!

    Lol ... I forget who's show this is ... and I do apologize if my post came across as a challenge. It was indeed an Oreck. My (now retired) LW1500 Magnesium. I considered several options on this one but felt just swapping the powerhead config was elementary. This option required custom building...

    Oreck w/ Radio

    to be clear - "they" didn't, I did. the 2 was just a donor for the handle as I preferred that style I'm (obviously) not looking for these to be authentic, just cool! Thanks for looking ~

    Oreck w/ Radio

    Hi all ~ I will be listing this for sale on OfferUp but want to give any fellow enthusiasts the option to purchase with a discount. Outer bag was changed and headphones replaced. I did create a new label for the handle as the original was damaged beyond repair. Unit has been perfectly...

    Custom Oreck w/cam

    Hi all ~ I will be listing this for sale on OfferUp but want to give any fellow enthusiasts the option to purchase with a discount. It is custom built (by me) and is one of a kind (at this point). It includes built-in camera with LED lighting with handle-mounted monitor. It has never been...

    filter cleaning test

    I do apologize. I did not mean to ruffle any feathers. Perhaps my sarcasm did not translate well in text. Not meant to be rude at all. My apologies ~

    filter cleaning test

    Might be easier to bring that air compressor inside the house for cleaning and dusting eliminating the need for a vacuum altogether. A light breeze through some open doors to evacuate the contaminants. Who needs a vacuum if you have an indoor ... Wait, this is gross. Did you have a mask on...

    Does anyone live in Bellevue, WA?

    I have found myself in a (somewhat) similar situation in the past. I actually ended up shipping the shipping box and packing materials to the customer, and sent them a link to youtube with her model being taken apart. It was just a video I happen to find which someone else posted, but it...

    Rebuild brush roll for Panasonic MC-661

    I've never messed with that particular roller (don't you love when we start with that?) but ... have you tried pushing the shaft back though the roller? Tap it a bit a see if it will slide out the other side. If not, get out the WD40 and start spraying ~

    Hoover Carpet Cleaners, Which One?

    Pick one that has an authorized service center in your area, if available. You'll need it... None really last {with regular use, and average home-owner (lack of) maintenance} so don't get too attached. This is not a machine to get sentimental towards. They are handy to own if you have the...

    I never seen this Tristar before

    AMAZING Deal on Original Miele GN bags!

    Sorry, I am not speaking for Miele as to "why" but I would imagine they would answer that in some fashion if you'd like to reach out to them. 1-888-99-Miele (here in the states) or miele.com (anywhere) Did not mean to imply they were "hard to find" ... sorry again. You may use whatever bags...

    Robot Vacuum Cleaners - Novelty or Useful Tool?

    Nothing's perfectly designed for everyone, but there are certainly those that love their robot vacs. We service a bunch of them. All brands. People that love them will spend money on them regardless of their pitfalls. Others move on when realizing it's not for them. That is ok, too. As...

    AMAZING Deal on Original Miele GN bags!

    Dealers have been cautioned about using those bags. They do appear online occasionally; however, the design was changed with good reason(s). You MAY get what you pay for ~

    Dyson Swivel Lock Replacment

    If the part is not physically broken or cracked, try tightening all the screws down there. Seems like there's one that makes that straighten up. Sorry, I don't have one I can put my hands on right now, but am familiar with that issue and have rarely ordered that item to correct it. If yours...

    My $63.99 Miele... Todays Bed Bath & Beyond Bargain Find

    Is the Riccar Sunburst the same vac as the Bissesl Zing?

    No, they are not the same. Yes, you did just pay $180 for a $55 canister. Sorry (?) Often bags are interchangeable between manufacturers.

    Using a Power Nozzle to Scrub In Zorb

    For occasional use: your nearest Oreck Store may rent you the Orbiter, which is awesome at this kind of job It's ok to use your own cleaners with it as it's really just the "muscle" and keeps you up and off the floor Years ago, TriStar sold the DryStar which was just a modified p/n with a...
