Robert, I checked the site from my Samsung Galaxy Relay running Android Ice Cream Sandwich and wondered why the text looked different! I thought something was wrong with my phone! It looks great... the new thinner font is easier to read and I can view in landscape or portrait orientation...

Just got off the phone with Tom...  I always knew he had a vast knowledge, but today I also learned what a nice person he is.  So friendly and eager to help...  He's sending me the bags, belts, filters, upholstery tool, and the rubber pad to make the bare floor setting work... bags and...

update OK, update for anyone who is interested....  I am going to call Tom today at the museum after I wake up a little more (too groggy to be coherent right now) and order the parts from him.  However, being me, I just couldn't wait to  for the right supplies to arrive to play with this thing...

Logdog, thanks for sharing your experiences...  well written review and it's nice to have a real opinion from someone who knows what they are talking about rather than all they hype from advertising.  I didn't know you had a "vacuum blog", but I will have to explore that a little more, it looks...

got it home... I got the thing home and started exploring it.  There are a few problems... both head lights are burned out, the plastic that front wheels screw into is broken, the belt has a hole in it, and it smells to high heavens of dog...  Only missing the upholstery tool and lower cord...

It's mine, all mine mwha ha ha ha ha.....

Thanks guys... I just called the thrift shop and they still had it... they put it to the side for me and I'm going to leave here in just a little while to go get it. I didn't want to make a 45 minute drive if it had been sold already, but it hadn't... they confirmed the price of 20 bucks, so...

I was at a thrift store the other day and I noticed a vacuum that looked like the one picture below. It was green instead of purple and I thought it was a Riccar at first, but after I got home I tried to to find pictures of it and it turned out to be a Simplicity 7 Series from what I can tell...

As always, awesome finds, Chase. I thought you already had a S/P WindTunnel (and a Kenmore progressive canister)... nice of you to pick that up for a friend who wants it. The Rainbow is worth it just for the power nozzle alone, you could sell that for a profit on ebay if you didn't want to...

here's the one I've seen before I don't know what brand it is, but it's been around a while.

That is a sharp looking vacuum... you guys always get the best straight suction nozzles with wheels and great swivel. Where's the power switch? Back Pack vacs here aren't very common and are tremendously expensive... I've seen another one that looks like that (has the who "sections") under a...

David Oreck seems to have the right philosophy and I think him buying the company back would be enough to turn things around. I've never seen an Oreck in a hotel... Every hotel I've ever seen has had a Sanitaire with a shake out bag, a Windsor Sensor S12, or an orange plastic hard case Royal...

Thanks DJ and Sebo... I didn't know if anyone would see this because it was reviving an old thread, but it was a fun excuse to try out the new camera...

Video of Shark Navigator Freestyle Finally got around to making a video of the Shark Navigator Freestyle... I just bought a real camcorder so I used that for the first time on this video. So much better than using a digital camera or a cell phone, except I can't hold it in my left hand so I...

Anyone seen this yet?  I'll link to a video below...  It seems to be an electric toothbrush meets swiffer kind of of thing...  It claims to clean carpet and bare floors, but you have to use their solution, so I don't know what people will do if they stop making the solution.   It looks weird...

The thing is they are advertising this not as a cordless sweeper or supplemental vacuum, but as a machine to replace real full sized vacuums, so the fact that is is cordless shouldn't be considered when comparing it to full sized vacuums. However, there are several full sized vacuums that don't...

I was in Brookstone today and noticed the Gtech Air Ram... I was going to start a thread about it and discovered you guys were already talking about it here! This was my first time seeing it, and at first I thought it was just a glorified Shark sweeper (the original Gtech is identical to the...

Thanks for the responses guys...  Tom, nice to see you back first of all!  I didn't know that Eureka had any cyclonic machines, especially that cheap, so I will definitely recommend that one to her.   She wants bagless, but she's not the kind of person to clean a pleated or  foam filter, so...

I have a co-worker that I'm kind of friends with and she has broken her vacuum cleaner again and asked me to help her find a new one.  She said she was using it and it just turned off.  She realized that she stepped on the cord when she was pushing the machine away from her and probably...
