    My Brand New electrolux Intensity

    Skip No, I'm not at all saying that it's a bad vacuum, and with it being your vacuum, I'm sure it will be fine. Being a vacuum collector and taking care of your vacuums, it will be fine. Its the ordinary everyday customers who buy it as their only vacuum that will wind up having problems. It is...

    My Brand New electrolux Intensity

    Electrolux Actually.. Electrolux is still in business .. we are the same company that we have always been. In 2003 however the word "Electrolux" was sold back to the European AB Electrolux and we became Aerus/Electrolux. AB Electrolux out of Europe in turn bought Eureka and now are producing...

    kirby or dyson

    Austin.. Very well said.. I agree wholeheartedly. As someone who has been collecting vacuum cleaners since I was a child, I understand completely what you are saying. When I was younger, I received vacuum cleaners from various family members, family friends, even my babysitter and a school...

    kirby or dyson

    Kirby or Dyson The people on this forum never cease to amaze me. The debate over which cleans better are nothings but opinions, and opinions are like rear ends.. everyone has them and they all STINK. It's really immaterial which one cleans better, because so much of that question depends on who...

    This is to all Oreck fans...

    High amp vs. low amp Tolivac.. That is absolutely true.. just because a motor is 12 amps doesn't mean it is actually pulling 12 amps. For example, when I run my Miele on the 1200 watt setting, even with the powernozzle it is probably only pulling about 8 amps. You would have to jam the...

    Oreck belts & Riccar differences I actually think all of the sewing machine motor lightweight uprights serve a purpose in this life (not of which is to deep clean carpets however). They are great for older people or people who have certain disabilities that prevent them from using a full sized...

    Advice Needed-Canister Vacuums For Allergies

    Rainbow Powernozzle I actually love the PE powernozzle on my Rainbow E2. It grooms the carpet very nicely, still while beating the rug to get out all that deep down sand and grit. I have to say, when using my E2 with the powernozzle, the bottom of the water pan is full of sand EVERY time. Makes...

    anyone selling a dyson for $135

    David.. If you keep vacuuming with that machine, I promise ;-) it will gradually lose suction as that screen becomes more clogged... and furthermore.. who wants to clean up that mess and scrape all that fuzz and junk off of that screen after every use.. certainly not me... lol.. Derreck

    anyone selling a dyson for $135

    Hoover Empower/Hoover V2 Dustcup I decided to vacuum with my Hoover V2 windtunnel which uses the same dustcup as the Hoover Empower tonight, and show what happens to the screen and filter after this machine is used ONCE. I like it much better with the bag cup, too bad they didn't make a bag cup...

    My Christmas present to myself

    I really went all out this Christmas and used my Christmas money from my family to get something I have been wanting. I thought this was an extremely pretty vacuum and decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and get one. It's the Miele Red Velvet with the SEB-236 powernozzle. What a dream this...

    A gift to myself...

    Beautiful Eureka Fred.. Wow.. what a beautiful find. Those Eureka ESP uprights sure do have some power. I have the red cordaway model and the green one that came along a little later. Very fun machines to use! Thanks for the pic :) Derreck

    This is to all Oreck fans...

    Buying an Oreck I personally don't think anyone would be upset by not having the ability to sell Orecks. All of the vacuum shops that I know of (including me at Electrolux) get several Orecks traded in all of the time. These machines never even get sold as used unless someone comes in asking...
