    Dry Cleaning

    I see Sebo sells a brush machine with its powder, but I don't know anything about it other than what I see on their website---sebo.us

    Does anyone know about Filter Queens?

    Decent, but . . . If you go on YouTube, there are some videos on the Filter Queen. I, like you, was curious about the Filter Queen after seeing a demonstration and touring the factory in Strongsville, Ohio a few years ago. They are now located in Brooklyn, Ohio. I decided to add one to my...

    FilterQueen Curiosity

    My goodness . . . They say he who vacuums last wins, but competing against your Miele, it looks like you won in a big way.

    Anymore info on CWP brushrolls?

    I remember, John. That trip to the CWP factory was so interesting in how they started with a plain wooden roll, cut it to size, drilled the holes to inset the brushes, put in the brushes, and there it was--a finished brush roll. Also on that tour, we saw piles of material that would become the...

    FilterQueen Curiosity

    No . . . . . . there doesn't seem to be any allergy issue with the Miele C3. The filtration is very good. I use genuine Miele bags and the genuine Miele hepa filter. Of course, they're costlier than knock-offs, but I have a thing with original items until original bags and filters become...

    FilterQueen Curiosity

    Good information . . . . . . on the FilterQueen vacuum from first-hand experience. Thanks to all for sharing. John, your being able to know those in the know is a resource beneficial to so many of us. Grant, I certainly wouldn't want to fork over cash for a vacuum that screams at you as it...

    FilterQueen Curiosity

    Hello all . . . I don't see any posts in this forum relative to FilterQueen vacuums, particularly the newer ones. I'm curious if anyone out there has had any experience or opinions about these vacuums; effective, not effective, overpriced? A few years ago, I was with the VCCC group that toured...

    Oreck stores closing

    What used to be my Oreck stores in the Pittsburgh suburbs have become Vacuums Etc. Curious, last May, I walked into my suburban store--the Oreck sign, mind you, was still over the store front--and not one Oreck vac was there. Instead, the store was displaying all manner of Riccar uprights and...

    Eureka Mighty Mite Hepa Filter

    Not a problem . . . I have the 3670 Mighty Mite, and this filter snaps to the back just fine. Joe

    What’s your daily driver

    Oh so many options . . . for a daily driver. I'm currently relying on my Kirby Legend II for deep cleaning. Although I have a number of G-model Kirbys to pick from, the Legend II is my favorite from that era of Kirbys. It has plenty of power, and the latest Kirby hepa bags are super good...

    Less Vacuum Ads?

    Cheap on sale . . . I, too, see ads in my Pittsburgh Sunday paper for the cheap plastic vacs on sale at Target, Wal Mart, and even Best Buy. Even QVC and HSN, when they are promoting a vac, feature nothing better than a Shark or a Dyson stick vac (and I don't consider any overpriced Dyson to be...

    Hoover Windtunnel 2 (Self cleaning filter)

    I had the orange model of this vacuum. It had plenty of power, and did well when grooming the carpet. However, two major downfalls of this model was its weight, and that spinning self-cleaning filter was a major tech failure. More dirt remained in the filter instead of being knocked out of it...

    Kirby Complete Model Change or Just Another Color Change?

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Kirby has a winning design and cleaning performance that works for millions of customers. The company is not going to make any radical changes before much research and testing, and whatever new design they come up with has to exceed in performance over the...

    Vacuums That Sold Poorly & Died An Early Death

    Hoover's Models Z . . . . . . would be high on my list. They were advertised as "The SUV" of vacuum cleaners. They were a pricey piece of equipment when they hit the market. It took about as long for them to sink as did the Titanic (and they were as about as heavy). They were clunky, didn't...

    2 is better than 1

    Nice looking Sentria 2 vacs you have there. After debating a while, I bought one brand new from my Kirby dealer several months before the Avalir was introduced, and I like its looks and its performance. Later, I got a deal on the Avalir, and I bought it, and I like it, too. Still, my go-to vac...
