    I’d Love to get to know more of you... PLEASE Comment.

    Hello Vacuumland.org Members! I’ve been around here reading, posting and commenting for about 5 months now and I’d LOVE to get to know more of you by participation in this thread. I’m not complaining, but rather explaining I’ve felt a bit invisible here and would love to see more comments...

    Dyson V10 Dok

    Thanks guys! Hey, thank you Barry, Huskyvacs and Scott... Hearing from you three makes me feel a bit better, but still so frustrated with this site as I see other topics, threads and specific members threads getting a LOT of action. While I still feel somewhat invisible here. I only joined...

    Dyson V10 Dok

    Julian @juju93 You get whichever tools come standard with whichever version of the Dyson V10 you buy and besides the free Dok Docking station, you get your choice of Three more Free Tools. So unless you get the lowest model, you will have many if not most of the tools to fit in the Dok. And...

    Dyson V10 Dok

    Ok, who now that they rushed out and bought the new Dyson V10 when it first released is mad Dyson is NOW offering the V10 Dok, FREE with every purchase of a V10! 😤 I’m all about organization so this just might tip the scale and push me to get the new V10! But it will bug the crap outta me that...

    do you vacuum more now?

    Sounds very similar to what I find myself doing every month. I used to just vacuum with one or two of my collection favorites (Usually my Sebo Felix and Riccar Premium Vibrance) and after “trying out” each of my new vacuums briefly, they would go into the spare bedroom “vacuum collection room”...

    Baking soda

    @tolivac @sptyks YES, I understand a base can be very corrosive, I’ve included a picture so you all can see what the three of us are discussing regarding “corrosive bases” BUT we are Not talking about Lye or drain cleaner.. we are talking about simply sprinkling the Non-corrosive Base, baking...

    Baking soda

    @crazykirbydude Hi Adin, Good point about baking soda clogging the filters, but baking soda is a Non-Corrosive Base. In chemistry an Acid is corrosive, but a Base is Not Corrosive. Baking soda can actually be put onto previously corroded metals to help remove the corrosion, by simply adding...

    Vacuum Buying Question...

    Thanks Kelton, I really like the look of your Red Kirby, I also love the royal blue Kirby’s too. I also love that the vacuum attachments and other parts are some other color besides gray or black! That is another reason I bought my Kirby Sentria 2, as I love the Taupe/Tan color of the...

    Baking soda

    @cuffs054 The answer to your question is not an easy yes or no... If you are using a Bagged Upright vacuum, you might find after sucking up more than a few tablespoons of baking soda, a loss of suction due to the bag pores being filled by the soda. So I recommend if you do vacuum it up with a...

    Vacuum bag fragrance

    Hello! I prefer the Sebo Fresh (scent sticks) in Lime Scent for my Sebo Felix Bagged Vacuum or I also enjoy the scent of Home Source beads in Fresh Lemon scent. They are made with real lemon oils so it’s not a sickening fake smell. When I change to a new disposable bag on one of my bagged...

    Vacuum Buying Question...

    @sensotronic Thanks “Betty” for sharing! I would have done the same thing if this round ball vacuum had been offered in the USA.. I love oddly shaped vacuums. One of my deepest regrets is not buying the Hoover Z700 as it was so fun and quirky.. like a transformer. I’ve heard they had...

    Dyson and Tv

    FUN topic and great idea! These are just a few I could find quickly, and I know of a LOT of other shows that have vacuums in the background. I pay close attention to this as a vacuum collector and I remember seeing about 6 different models of vacuum cleaners on Mike and Molly.. from a Dyson to...

    Newest Vacuum for my Collection!

    Hello everybody, I found myself the “sucker” of late at night informercials! Lol So I’ve been debating on buying the Oreck Pod or the Dyson V10 and seeing the informercial yet again late last week, I went in an entirely different direction, spending less and getting a vacuum that I really am...

    My mistake.

    @broomvac Hey Guys, Wow, great refurb and clean up on the Oreck XL vacuum! It looks so clean and almost brand new! I have heard a few guys talk of cleaning plastic vacuum parts in the dishwasher, but I’ve never been brave enough to try it as mine (even with hot dry OFF) dishes are very hot...

    Vacuum Buying Question...

    @huskyvacs Sorry, I posted before I saw your comment. Wow, the same colors I like too. I would love to own a turquoise color vacuum and I love my grass green Simplicity. I so agree and am very tired of Black, Grey and Red vacuum cleaners. Red, only as I don’t like that color but Black and...

    Vacuum Buying Question...

    Hi guys, I’m just wondering if anyone else has ever bought a vacuum cleaner simply because of the way it looks? I recently bought a Dirt Devil and the only reason I did was because of its appearance and color scheme. It was very cheap too, so I wouldn’t go buy a $500 vacuum only on...

    Dirty, Avalir... Can it be redeemed?

    Hi Patrick, Great deal and you did an excellent job at cleaning this poor abused Kirby. So glad it’s owned by someone who will now take care of it properly. It just goes to show how well Kirby are made, that it could take all the previous owners abuse and still run perfectly after you cleaned...
