    Where to find GENUINE Dyson DC07 Animal hose?

    I just discovered this minor issue with my Dyson DC07 Animal, which is 11 1/2 years old now. This Dyson, for the most part, has been relegated to a garage vacuum for cleaning up a play area for two of my dogs, who both shed a lot. I vacuumed that area like normal, and the vacuum still ran...

    Weird Fantom Fury on eBay

    Electroluxxxx, of course I know that certain someone; it's me. My Fury is still alive and well; I just haven't touched it since the plastic near the handle release pedal broke. I haven't found another housing yet.   Dysonman1, despite the Fury having low airflow, it still does a very good...

    Weird Fantom Fury on eBay

    I was browsing eBay for Fantoms just for fun, and came across this odd Fantom Fury for sale.   What's weird about this particular Fury is that while it has the older design, the "FURY" wordmark is placed right below the Fantom logo, as opposed to the base of the collection bin. It also has...

    Wanted: Fantom Fury Lower Housing

    Since part of the plastic on the lower housing of my Fantom Fury has snapped, I'm looking for a replacement. However, I cannot find any housings for sale on eBay at the moment.   Does anyone have a lower housing from a Fantom Fury that they would be willing to sell? Please let me know!

    Does anyone else avoid using vacuums because they fear they're going to break

    Kind of The one vacuum that I try to baby is my Fantom Fury, mainly due to the difficulty of finding replacement parts for it; Fantom has been out of business for nearly 18 years. After the pain I went through with the motor last year (long story...) the Fury has been running beautifully...

    Dyson V6 Car + Boat - Motor cutting out

    Possible solution? It sounds like the pre-motor filter is clogged internally. I'll have to let my friend know about that. Someone on YouTube suggested watching this video from 1:25 onward to see how the filter should be separated and what's actually inside it. Apparently, the motor pulsing and...

    Dyson V6 Car + Boat - Motor cutting out

    A friend of mine is having this weird issue with his Dyson V6 Car + Boat handheld vacuum cleaner, which he bought two years ago. He stated that it was acting screwy. Turns out the motor is constantly cutting out during use. This happened the other day. For the record, the bin and filters were...

    Fine dust buildup on Fantom brushroll

    I have an observation to share concerning my Fantom Fury, and was wondering if any other Fantom owners have observed this with their machines. The brushroll tends to collect fine dust during use. I looked at the underside of the Fury, and there was some dust on the part of the brushroll closest...

    Shark EVOPOWER Hand Vacuum (Japan)

    So my mom and sister are currently on vacation in Japan for 3 weeks, which is my mom's home country. Earlier this afternoon, in Japan time, they went to a Japanese Costco and spotted this Shark EVOPOWER W10 handheld vacuum cleaner. I'm surprised at how compact is is compared to American...

    Bissell CrossWave vs. Symphony - Which one is best?

    After my Shark Steam Pocket Mop died, I just took it apart and threw it in the trash. Now I'm in the market for a new floor cleaner, primarily for my laminate flooring downstairs. A member on here recommended two Bissells to me: the CrossWave, which vacuums and washes at the same time, or the...

    Shark Steam Pocket Mop not steaming

    Further inspection I decided to perform an autopsy on the Shark by unscrewing 8 screws on the back. There was an additional small screw, along with a metal C-clip, that held the handle on. After that, the back of the mop just lifted right off. I took a close look at the guts of the Shark (pun...

    Shark Steam Pocket Mop not steaming

    huskyvacs I tried your suggestion by filling up the tank with pure white vinegar and running the mop to try and flush out the openings. Initially, I went outside and pumped the handle several times, and a lot of steam came out. But then, it stopped and steam came out of the body of the mop and...

    Shark Steam Pocket Mop not steaming

    I have a Shark Steam Pocket Mop (originally owned by my dad's girlfriend) and it has been working beautifully, until now. I tried using the Shark to steam the downstairs bathroom/laundry room floor, and it sounded like steam was barely coming out, even though the tank was full of water. I...

    Why I like Dyson

    Vacfan1982 There are some things I do like about my Dyson DC07. First, despite it being pretty heavy at 19.2 lbs., it's very maneuverable and well-balanced. I'm surprised at how easy it is to push compared to other vacuums I've used. Next is the hose and attachments. Dyson vacuums feature an...

    Why I dislike Dyson

    This reminds me... Has anybody had experience with the Dyson DC28? It was introduced in 2009 specifically for the American market, at a cost of $600. The DC28 was only produced in an Animal version. It was the first and only Dyson with Airmuscle technology, which claimed to pick up more dirt...

    Why I dislike Dyson

    HonestJoe68 Hey, long time no see! Despite my slight distaste for this Dyson, I'm still fairly impressed by what it picks up. My family has taken very good care of it. We never overfilled the bin and always emptied it when the dirt reached the MAX line. I forgot to add that my mom did have to...

    Why I dislike Dyson

    crazykirbydude You are absolutely right about the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball. I've never used one, but I just remembered this video from kode1996 on YouTube where he shows how much dust is leaking into the motor of his machine.

    Why I dislike Dyson

    I know this is a controversial topic to discuss, but I've decided to finally get this off my chest. This is going to be a review on my Dyson DC07 Animal. I've told this story a few times before, but at the end of 2007, my dad purchased this vacuum from our local Target while the store was...

    Upright Vacuum for Garage?

    I'm curious, does anybody use an upright vacuum in their garage if it has rugs and/or carpeting? Here's my situation: I have 2 large female dogs; one is a Labrador/Chow mix, and the other is a Beagle/Rottweiler mix. They both reside in the garage most of the day and go outside as needed. We...
