The Karcher Ranger is now on sale for $199 on both their website and Amazon. https://www.kaercher.com/us/commercial/vacuum-cleaners/upright/ranger-10129000.html

Excellent! Okay i’ll check in again next month. That is disappointing about the short cord. Definitely one of my pet peeves. But I haven’t been this excited about a new vacuum in awhile. we haven’t had a new direct-air soft case machine in awhile

Does anyone have a Sebo dealer contact here in the states with these in stock? There's a dealer in Canada that seems willing to ship it here but I'd be worried about returns if something went wrong. I think the Sebo looks way better than the Karcher...

Thank you for sharing the video! I am very very interested in this. I saw the Karcher Ranger factory refurbished on eBay for $199, and was tempted, but the color scheme isn't for me. But I'm mostly concerned about bag/parts availability. It's not standardized and I think we'll have to see how...

These are more or less a descendant from the Hoover T Series which came out in the late 2000s. I've owned both one of the originals and a Windtunnel Max from 2016ish. The Windtunnel Max died last year after regular service but my parents didn't take well care of it. They clean carpets very well...

Been doing a lot of research on new Sanitaires this week after deciding I might want one as a Christmas gift to myself. I shockingly only learned about the acquisition by Bissell last year even though it's been over 5 years since it was announced. Does anyone have any experience with the new...

In the early 2000s my elementary school used NSS M-1 Pigs with a straight suction nozzle that was used for both the commercial pile carpeting and tile. I remember them being extremely loud especially in the hallways. They also had the commercial Hoover Spinscrub which I knew even at the time was...

Thanks! These are always fun to look at. Wish I could buy some of that dirt devil merch

Found something on eBay I've never seen before. Does anyone have any history on this? The fact that it's made in Canada and has this brush roll makes me think it's an old VacUFlo/HP Products equipment...

Thank you for the update! I'm so relieved to see the site is back up. We definitely all appreciate your work on the website. I personally do not have web developer experience but would be more than willing to contribute to keep the site running. The archive alone is priceless. If/when that day...

Still here! I check in and read the site a few times a month, but only chime in when I know I have something to add to the conversation. I joined the site when I was still a teenager and feel like I kinda grew up with Vacummland. I've moved a few times and have progressively less space to...

The original model was so popular and well made it's now sold as a Sanitaire. That's big jump for something that used to be a Walmart exclusive. It's $119 now with a steel handle but at some points you could find a bagged powerful for under $40 if Walmart was holding a sale. I also remember very...

Oh boy, this is not what I needed to see. I've been literally dreaming about Sebos all week and this is the exact kind of machine I would be interested in. A new direct-air bagged machine!! I'm not a fan of batteries since they get worn out pretty quickly in my experience, but the corded model...

I remember those for sale at Sears. Across the aisle was the similar-looking and equally ill-fated Hoover Z. They had to have been direct competitors, both selling for their aesthetic and not their performance. The bags were tiny. This was also during a time when nearly every mainstream upright...

New X4 Ended up buying an X4 yesterday. Originally went in for a Dart but the handle weight was way heavier than the X4 and didn't feel as comfortable. Really happy with the purchase. The plastic quality of the wand and attachments are a little thin for a $849 machine but it's quiet. Easier...

That's what I figured. That's a nice collection! Which is your favorite? From most of the videos I've watched/specs I've seen it sounds like the Felix has an edge on cleaning ability/usability. Is the bag much smaller? It's been awhile since buying a new machine and I've very tempted to order...

As long as it has the pigtail connector you should be fine. It's those direct-connect models that get proprietary

I've got a Sebo itch recently. I've used an old worn Versmatic before but never something new, including their power nozzle which seems to be a favorite among central vac dealers these days. The only issue is that here in the states they are absurdly expensive. $850 for the X4 and $550 for the...

List of TurboPower machines from Vacuumland's collective knowledge: https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?17644_38

I signed into vacuumland for the first time in awhile after seeing the news. Recently had a death in the family and I thought to check if David Oreck was still alive. This is definitely sad. As a younger collector growing up in the early 2000s he was a big part of the contemporary vacuum market...
