    Performance differences between Sebo D4 and Felix? (vs old Oreck)

    @jp10558 Hi James, I own the Sebo Felix and LOVE it but I also thought of something you might want to try before you buy another vacuum or get the “workout” from the Parquet Nozzle each time you clean. Have you ever considered buying the Sebo Kombi head (See pics 1, 2 & 3) for your Sebo D4...

    Why am I fascinated with vacuum cleaners?

    @eurekaprince Hello Brian, Your last paragraph is Brilliant! I too had those feelings and the Vacuum Cleaner is a masculine, somewhat phallic symbol! And like gay men, the good ones suck really well! Lol Not to disrespect your thoughts with my joke, but it’s actually a very valid point about...

    Dyson V6 vs Dyson v10?

    @luxlife Hi John, Both the Dyson V6 and V10 are great choices for RV’s, Fifth Wheels, etc and the V6, V7, V8 and V10 are all somewhat similar, each with its own positives and negatives. But in my humble opinion, being the owner of each and every Dyson Stick Vacuum made from the first DC44 (the...

    Why am I fascinated with vacuum cleaners?

    @stark Hi Shannon, I have wondered about the “Gay” connection too. I personally (in my humble opinion, so nobody go crazy on me! LOL) feel that gay men in general are more open to things that are typically “categorized” a Female dominated topic. Washing, Cleaning, Vacuuming used to be...

    Justify Miele Purchase

    @ornery Hi John! So glad I could help someone out and I’m glad my personal views of the Hoover Hushtone seem to be accurate. I am so happy everyone likes the Hoover and I’m sure it will give you many years of service. Like I’ve said before, I don’t give opinions on a vacuum unless I own it...

    Justify Miele Purchase

    @ornery Hey John, I cleaned offices for a living and have since stopped, but when I did, I cleaned what sounded like a very similar office but mine was a few more square feet in size. I used the Same PITA machines and more before I found something that worked well. The Hoover Commercial...

    Request to the Miele Company - Lightweight Upright Please

    @eurekaprince Hi Brian, I totally agree with you regarding Miele making a different upright vacuum. I Love my Miele S7 Swing Upright but wow is it heavy and bulky. I find it best for heavy thick wall to wall carpeting but it’s almost too powerful for area rugs and with the brushroll turned...

    Maytag Satellite

    Is this considered a “Connie”? Hello guys, I’m sorry to put this in the “Contemporary” thread but it’s a question regarding the Hoover Constellation or “Connie”as the collectors call them. Is my vacuum pictured a “Connie” Constellation? My best friend gave me her Hoover that was a wedding...

    'Say Goodbye To Big Corded Vacuums'

    My experience regarding Dyson and the decision to stop development of corded vacuums. I was told by a supervisor by the name of Tom that the only thing Dyson has “temporarily” stopped is “development” of new corded vacuum cleaners right now and it is ONLY the development and per him, temporary...

    Miele U1 Maverick, started vibrating and sounded bad, easy fix!

    Wow Dustin.. great deal for sure! I Love my Miele S7 Swing Upright, it’s the older model but with the digital suction/motor speed controls and the Automatic setting. I’ve mentioned it before, but I quit smoking cigarettes in November of 2011 and was a two pack a day smoker. So long story...
