Spirit plus? So while doing some more hunting on the spirit I came across this which appears to be a trademark or patent, unsure which, filing for a machine called the Spirit Plus so we may see a more featured model yet. https://uspto.report/TM/98276282

Omg! It's got a worm like motion to it! That's so strange. Thanks for sharing!

Found it! It looks like it's a single motor machine this is a re-introduction of a Vibrance machine which was the entry line before the R25 came alone. I feel like they were better cleaners than the 25

Ah! I remember those. That was the 2nd to the BOL I THINK it was about $50 more than the Entry model the difference was that this had the metal brushroll I don't think we saw the jump from 10 amps to 12 amps till the model just above this though.

I have one. I got it from Joshp83. I find it's best used for post project cleanup as it's wider airpath allows it to pick up materials like nuts, screws etc. Now when it comes to like general cleaning it does alright on carpet it'll get up hair and surface litter but it's no deep cleaner. When...

strange.... It appears a new thread was started as a response? Anyways that's cool to see. I wonder if it'll be marketed towards the domestic or commercial market. I thought when they redid their lines riccar was to be their premium domestic machines simplicity their "retail" domestic lines and...

hm? Your link doesn't work, could you share this picture with us? From what information you've given us i'm guessing it's a a lot like the powr flite borelli?

Recolored Spectra? It looks a lot like one of the Spectra uprights.

Wow! The parts availability for this seem to be awful! the schematic I found on partswarehouse doesn't even break down the main canister it just shows it at one unit. I checked Essco.net which only had categories for a few pieces, no wheels to be found. Other than finding a parts donor one...

Right I can't remember much from the high school physics class either. but yeah in this setup you have the same rpm but he larger circle will have a longer path You both understand this but to help others, probably younger members grasp the concept here's an example. Unfortunately I can't...

Overdrive! So I saw this video on youtube which showed the interior of the battery model which does use a larger gear to overdrive the fan. I'd assume it's similar on the corded model but the lack of schematics doesn't allow me to confirm.

After the testing of the Corded Ranger 12 it left a few of us wondering how the cordless version would fare, now we have an answer. The Karcher Sensor BP has the most airflow of any cordless upright so far. This mistreated specimen was measured in at 68.85 CFM more than some corded uprights...

An excellent question I don't have an actual answer but just speculating there are multiple possibilities 1. a clutch setup to prevent damage in case of a fan jam 2. overdrive! like the inverse of gear reduction where you would sacrifice torque for increased speed. 3. Placement. Maybe they...

YUCK! That sounds revolting! is it worthwhile to work on it? With it being that dirty i'd be concerned about the motor bearings and whether the brush end caps are in ok shape.

Once again my friend Josh and I met up and exchanged some machines. He picked up this massive windsor wave 28 as it was in his area. It's a 28" 3 motor machine (2 suction 1 brush) Quite a bit heavier than my Bissell direct air 28" vac. He also sold me a Riccar Cordless upright he had picked up...

Hmm I'm unsure if these models used the security torx screws, I don't think they did but I may be mistaken, if you do need bits for that you can get them at like harbor freight or order a set online. Beyond that there's gonna be screws hidden under the two front wheels pry the wheels out...

That's an odd sound. I'm not sure what the issue is exactly but it sounds really weird, could be like Barry said it may have something stuck in the fan blades.

I've got one It's....a mixed bag IMO. It's the easiest to use of the water machines being an upright and it's airflow is the strongest at the powerhead of all water based machines i've measured so far. As others have said it really does need some sort of after filter, the build quality is...

Probably not He doesn't work for that vacuum store anymore, hasn't in a few years now at least. It's also changed hands I think the daughter of the former owner now runs it.

Hepa bags I hadn't heard of a compatible bag for them till now. My mind went immediately to the U/L/O bags. The connection is just a little looser than the original Type E but a layer or two of tape around the bag tube would tighten that a little.
