It's over. Classic Vacuumland is no more. All of this came as a huge shock to me. I was just refreshing the site, with one second it being the old design, and the next it being this new one. I saw the site creator's thread on how he wanted to "pass the torch" to someone else in terms of running...

There was a thread a while back on a similar site to this. From what I remember, it turned out to be an online appliance store for military families, as each machine (Maytag Hoovers) was rated at 240v, as these families apparently travel around the globe a lot. Oh, and they were out of stock...

What the f[[50% off!]] did I just watch? A few thoughts if I may. *What kind of name is Fluffycones Pencilvac? My brain didn't even register it being for a Dyson product when I first saw it. What's next, the Dyson Diddlydingdongvac? *It's cool seeing them not using their cyclone designs for...

PanasonicVac Huh. How's it running? Considering it's a 30+ year old bagless central vac.

I remember seeing some Youtube Shorts on these a long time ago. Basically, they're air-powered laundry chutes that work basically as larger central vacuums. Neat idea, but I don't really see the benefit over just having a normal laundry chute at the center-most point of a home's floor. Has...

PanasonicVac You're still using that Beam system that you showed off in one of your videos?

HuskyVacs Maybe not traditionally (Spraying carpet cleaner solution and hot water, then extracting it), but spraying an enzyme-cleaner on it, letting it do its thing, then extracting it with cold water might. You could also blot it with a rag/towel to get up the stain/used solution.

I don't have faith in cyclones. If there purpose was to reduce/eliminate the need for regular filter cleaning/replacement, then they don't work well from what I've seen.

The only bagless vacuum I really use now is my Dirt Devil Breeze bagless M088160, as bagless vacuums are almost universally pretty terrible, but when I do/did, there's been a few ways that I've emptied them. 1. Taking another machine and vacuuming out the bin and filters. 2. Emptying it into a...

HuskyVacs I find this extremely hard to believe. As far as I'm aware, all types of urine contain ammonia to some extent, so why would cat urine be any different? Also, if you say that it is impossible to remove, then why are you recommending me a carpet cleaning solution?

Centralvacs1928 Thank you so much for your reply, it was very helpful :D I only chose the M465H because it was the cheapest unit with a bypass motor, which I assume is a better type in terms of longevity. However, I only ever plan on using HEPA bags with whatever unit I choose, so I guess a...

gottahaveahoover In that case, it sounds like it's too aggressive lol

blah blah blah new update So, I've managed to chat with a gentleman who does central vac installs at my local vacuum store chain over the phone. I told him my plans to the best of my ability, and he's willing to help me install my system for an hourly fee. I told him that I wanted to get the...

Nice Find! I've been wanting one of the bagged models ever since I saw Performance Review's video on one where he tried (and failed) to repair it. I'd also relegate it to being a collector's piece, as I have with my Dual V and Lift Off 3554, though I'd still like to be able to take them for...

mark40511 I've heard that enzymes help with neutralizing odors from the bit of research I've done. I'd definitely want a carpet cleaning solution that has them in it. Interestingly, I have two bottles of Kirby Pet Owner's Carpet Shampoo, and they do say that they have enzymes in them. This has...

Which one exactly? There's been multiple models over the years. My mom has a Little Green Proheat. That has to be one of the worst carpet cleaners I've ever used. Barely picked up anything, leaked bad, etc. I have a Little Green 1400B (newer model, older tooling) that I got for Christmas. I've...

PanasonicVac I think I'm dodging a bullet by not buying from ThinkVacuums. I hope (and expect) MD to be much better.

For the longest time, I've wanted to adopt a cat or a few. However, that hasn't happened for a few reasons. Our family has a history of owning them, though, with the most recent being my sister's cat. One of the cats that we had was a black cat named Daphne. My parents had her before I was born...

You'd need a Hoover Central Vac to truly claim it to be Hoover home.

Update So, after some reconsideration of my central vacuum list, I've decided that I'm now just going to buy all of the hardware for it from MD. I looked over the Yelp reviews for ThinkVacuums.com, and you were right PanVac, they were pretty negative. Also, buying everything I need from MD...
