Listing has been sold Since that link won't be around for much longer, it's better to post pictures instead for the record. That was one of my mistakes when I posted a link off of eBay before, it was my actual first time posting here on VL 10 years ago. Anyways, that's one of if not the worst...

When I was working at a vacuum store, that's what I also did. An air compressor can also work as well. But for fully sanitizing one (depending on the brushroll), I'd use a pressure washer as that's what fully cleans the bristles. Dishwashers can work but not as good as the pressure washer.

Very interesting Other than the central vacs and wet dry units, I've never seen another full size machine from B&D besides this 1400W bagless canister which reminded me of a Panasonic but it wasn't made by them.

You'd probably get a kick out of this Mike. Here's a YouTube video of someone receiving a DrainVac Viper out of the box. Not only it had a defective Ametek motor but also the replacement motor is in fact a Ametek motor as well. Basically tells you that DrainVac is no longer using Domel motors at...

Interesting you had a British Dyson DC04.

Tyler's Dirt Devil is now listed on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256919086573?itmmeta=01JTGSA0NX2SQ6DK8MPKN7ETSJ&hash=item3bd19225ed:g:~e8AAOSweIRoF-vD

I wouldn't mind owning the green bagged version if I had the space. I did had a blue one before but I sold it due to lack of space, however I'm after the blue Twin Chamber version. The one that I'd really love to find would be the black Turbopower 4500.

I recently did a video on my green Twin Chamber. Yeah I agree that the lid doesn't provide a proper seal. However, it wasn't Hoover's first bagless machine. They had dust cup models that came before this like the Decade 80 for example, but they're half bagged and half bagless. For being the...

There was a DXL From my understanding it's the same machine as the CXL.

There's several One that pops my mind the most was when Hoover sued Bissell for copying their Elite and SteamVac which Bissell had to pay the fine.

Yup they were Another great example of Maytag's terrible engineering team. Not only it'd clog up instantly and be a pain to clean the filter out but also the filter cage has terrible seals where dust would easily escape to plug up the pre motor filter. I'd definitely take a Twin Chamber or a...

Mike There's a couple of things that the article failed to mention. They recommend using a ActiVac III filter, BUT they are extremely (and ridiculously) expensive to replace! A replacement exhaust vent that'd last for years is a night and day difference price wise. And the ActiVac III will...

From my understanding, those Marshall uprights are made by an Italian company (not Lindhaus) who also makes uprights for Karcher and Tornado.

Here in my state, it's very dry where I have to have a humidifier especially during flu season. If I had the space, I wouldn't mind having a small collection of humidifiers. Particularly the ones that I grew up with.

Speaking of car washes What really annoys me is that some car washes have colored lights. I say that because up at our last cabin we've owned, had colored lights inside one of the shower stalls. May have been cool as a kid but that's another thing I now think is a waste as well.

Again they rarely get used, plus not only the steamer is pricey but having to tear out the stall to fix or replace it is just ridiculous. Definitely I think one of the biggest purchase mistakes the house ever got, but thankfully the steamer hasn't failed (yet).

I agree with Human These are also my all time favorite Kirbys and worth keeping.

My grandparents were basically "forced" to trade in their two older brown Kirbys for a G4 back in 1994 when a salesperson came by. They didn't wanted a new Kirby but the salesperson wouldn't leave. Fast forward to 2012 I believe it was, another salesperson came by there and tried to give up...

I will say when it comes to cord rewinders, I prefer the ones that uses a button or reels to manually pull the cord back in. There are some models where you have to give it a quick tug and it'd self rewind. I could care less about that because one time with my grandfather's Kenmore canister, I...

My basement guest bathroom has double shower heads inside the stall, in addition it also has a steamer. Rarely do one of the shower heads and the steamer ever get used to my knowledge. Personally, while I think they're cool to have, they're not worth the extra in my opinion.
