    How do you put a vacuum cleaner to sleep...?

    Since all answers border on deception You could donate it and say it died. If you actually need a corpse, "accidently" pick up some spilled water. Baking soda Do you have stairs?  Oppsie, down we fall. . . Get creative,  let us know what you decide.

    Hoover Air Revolve Canister Vacuum - $34.99...

    Replacement parts I was never sure about vacuums, but there is a rule regarding appliances.  I also wonder as Vacuumdevil asked. What about warranty service? (a) Every manufacturer making an express warranty with respect to an electronic or appliance product described in subdivision (h)...

    I am being silly, but.......

    All the other stuff aside I am not sure your plan will work. The diameter of the Kirby hose would not easily accommodate the leaves, unless you had already ground them. If that were the case, just let them stay as compost.

    Oreck XL Commercial CC docking help

    Yes What he said. Remove the clip the dock goes in its place. I also ordered a brace so the handle doesnt wobble. Some models have them already, this one did not. THanks, I bought this one because my Mom had breast cancer. I recently bid on another, newer one, but it wasn't meant to be...

    How to flock and de-flock a Christmas tree.

    We flocked fake snow from a can on the windows of my store when I was working retail. It looked nice at first. Then kids started picking away at it, writing their names etc. When Christmas was over, it appears that the kids were the only ones that could get it off the windows. We had to...

    I was robbed, robbed I tell you

    Well I guess you told me. I don't believe anywhere in any of my post did I ask how to bid on ebay, or how to search on ebay, or what I should pay. The post was originally posted in good humor that I lost a vacuum that I was coveting. And again in testament that some ebay sellers will boost...

    I was robbed, robbed I tell you

    Thank you Huskyvacs But. . .None of them are that color green, I have the orange one. None of them appear to have the cord winder. Some of them are missing their attachments. Many of them have shipping cost far above what the price of the machine is, which actually exceeds the total of my bid...

    maybe in your part of the world the thrift stores are aflush, but I have never seen one in a thrift store here. What often happens in cases like this is the seller is actually bidding against you, and he overshot your maximum. The item in those cases will either show up relisted in a few...

    What is the worst vacuum from the past 20-ish years?

    Haters will be haters Just asking if Kirby is sooooooo bad. Why do they consistently get Gold ratings? Anyone, Anyone, Oh-you're going to say it's because they pay the institute off. Cop-out anyone.

    Vacuum Maintenance Question for Everyone...

    I have to give it a total cleaning I use a Oreck canister to clean the filters and cyclones, I dust the inside of the bin, and then wipe it down with a dust cloth. Not just the dry use machines, either. My water based machines get a through cleaning, separator and basin, and are hand dried...
