I have the Salsa too and I got it a couple months ago from the original owner for 150...  it was missing all the tools, but I fell in love immediately.  I noticed that Bed Bath and Beyond here has discontinued carrying the Miele uprights and now have 2 Miele canisters instead... one is the...

Used the Koblenz to do under the 'fridge today and it did a pretty respectable job...  it didn't get extremely close the the edges, but I didn't expect it to... that's that a toothbrush and a magic eraser are for :o)   That yellow stuff around the edges is some kind of adhesive that has been...

Thanks for the responses...  I went ahead and got the Koblenz...  I ordered of from Wal-mart online and it was 139... basic model with plastic motor  housing instead of chrome and no T shaped handle, but it definitely does the job.   I have a Hoover Floormate and 2 Hoover Spinscrub steam...

I think the dirt and sand left behind by the lack of agitation would be more destructive than agitation itself...  I've done experiments where I've only used straight suction machines for a period of time and I'm always shocked at what comes up when I finally use something with a brushroll...

I want a dual brush scrubber and have been looking at these machines... Just wondering what the differences between the Hoover and Koblenz versions are. I found pads and brushes for the Koblenz on ebay but none for the Hoover... are they still available? Is one of these better than the...

It looks like the post that you attach the slicing/shredding disc to, but I don't know what brand it is from... the one for my Moulinex LaMachine has one very similar to that, but it is square on the end rather than hexagonal...

Tom, that is a very good point!

I saw one of those at an outdoor flea market about a year ago.  It looked a lot like a baby Panny.. I love "mini" machines and seriously considered it, but the handle was loose, the bumper was missing, the bottom plate was half on and half off, it didn't have any attachments and the body was...

I've never seen a Hoover like that with the power nozzle, but I have seen the Reginas with one... that is very cool and definitely worth a day off!  The idea of dying the plastic is really cool too!  Can't wait to see it finished!  

Wow, Chase, broken handle or not, that is the deal of the century!  Congrats!  It should be simple to get the handle fixed and even if it costs a few bucks, who cares!  I think I need to move to Indiana!  LOL   <span style="font-size: 14px;">After playing with my Simplicity, I want a...

Cool...  we should  get together...  I'm already planning a get together with Fantomvacuumfan sometime soon... he's in St. Pete...  btw, my Simplicity looks a lot like yours with mismatched cord hooks!  It was missing the bottom one and I had to order it and it doesn't match the top one, but...

Hey there... yeah, I'd be glad to make vacuum friends in real life :o)  I've been in FL my whole life... where did you come from?  I'm Aleroluver on youtube if you want to look me up, I have several vacuum videos on there :o)   Is your last name Pierce?  I only ask because I saw your email...

Chase, a Radiance for 26 dollars...  can you bottle your luck up and mail it out to the rest of us LOL   Tom, thanks for the pictures and info about the two machines.  What is that bagless thing in the background between the Riccar and Simplicity?  Do they both have the same exact dual fan...

Awesome finds... I think I need to make a trip over to Daytona!

Thanks for explaining thatl Tom...  It just didn't seem that special to me and I couldn't figure out why they all loved it so much!  

These were available way before TTI took over Hoover... back in the early 2000s, they were also branded as Dirt Devil Platinum Force machines and sold alongside the Platinum Force bagless uprights and hand vacs...

I've noticed that virtually every vacuum cleaner shop recommends the Royal carpet cleaner pictured below.  I've never used one, so I'm wondering, what's the deal with these?  Are they really better than a Hoover Spin Scrub?  Do they extract better and why do vacuum shops love them so much?  Does...

Chase, you do have good luck, don't you!  I too wondered what was up with all the Tacony finds lately... I found that Simplicity a few weeks ago and now everybody is finding Riccars...  I know you will love it... my Simplicity is a powerful, hungry beast!  I tried to suck up a whole paper towel...

I noticed the change as well while I was surfing on my phone at work and it worked well...  I'm having to use my previous phone as a back up because I dropped the new one and the screen shattered and it's being repaired... the old phone is much slower and has a smaller screen, so the changes...
