    Canister vacuums are they actually good at deep-cleaning carpets

    I would take the Royal Everlast 8300 over any of the centrals.I have several freestanding centrals-the Kirby and the Royals are still better for me on the WW carpet than the centrals.The 8300 was a trade in at the vac shop I go to they didn't say what the Royal was traded in for-that Royal is a...

    Do central vacuums actually deep-clean carpets as good as a portable?

    Maybe I should try my using the Kirby Avalir 1 or 2 as a "powernozzle" to my MD Silentmaster central vacuum or others in my collection.Newest one is a Riccar machine.

    Kirby Avalir 2 ads on YouTube

    They may be late-maybe someone in the management of Kirby's new owners got this started.Now are we going to see Rainbow,Aerus,and Filter Queen making similar commercials?If you cannot make home house call demos anymore thiswould be a good answer.The Kirby commercial indicates you could make the...

    Do central vacuums actually deep-clean carpets as good as a portable?

    NOTE:Picking up ash,liquids CAN void your vacuums warranty.You CANNOT use the vacuum system as a trashcan.It is just that a VACUUM CLEANER-just like any other.Pick up those things with a vacuum DESIGNED to pick those up.If you pick up ash,liquids-get a shop type vacuum-and EMPTY it each time you...

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    Overly full MD central unit bags-the MD dealer here-Greenville Sew&Vac-went out on a service call-"Vacuum not picking up" Problem was the disposable bag had 65POUNDS of dirt in it.The dispsable bag weighted the cloth outer bag so much it was touching the motor air intake-blocking it.Lucky these...

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    Not famaliar with ash seperators-you can get ash vacuums-these use all metal bodies and fireproof hoses and filters.You do have to empty them after each use.Since ash is a good thermal insulator live coals can remain hot for days!Best to play it safe.My Dad always cleaned his woodstove and...

    Blackheart's Canavac Tests

    Electric power distribution equipment is more efficient today than it used to be.The loss has been reduced.Higher voltage distribution has reduced loss becuase smaller guage cable can be used.

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    NEVER,NEVER use a central vacuum or others for that matter to pick up fireplace and woodstove ash.Good way to use the vacuum system as a HOUSE IGNITOR!!!!!Use the fireplace shovel and a METAL ashcan which is stored OUTSIDE the home!!!The ash can be dumpted in a garden-away from the house as...
