    I found a $5 Hoover!

    Back in November 2006, One of my mother's friends gave me a Kirby Sentria with the standard attachments and with the Carpet Shampoo System attachment. He bought it in August 2006 for $1500. I just wanted to let you know what I got for Christmas 2006.

    I also have the Bissell Big Green canister carpet shampooer. This is the same machine that Mary Ellen Pinkham used to sell in the 1990s. It does a excellent job of shampooing carpets/rugs/stairways/furniture/car interiors.

Canisters are much harder on your back than uprights. I have...

    In the market for a commercial carpet cleaner

    This is how I shampoo carpets/rugs: I move all of the furniture out of the room. I vacuum thoroughly with one of my Kirby's. I then shampoo with the Rug Doctor or the Hoover. I let the carpet dry for 24 hours. I vacuum again with one of my Kirby's. I then move the furniture back into the room. I...

    In the market for a commercial carpet cleaner

    Erik, I recommend a upright over a canister. An upright is much easier to use. They aren't near as hard on your back either. With that being said, I recommend the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro/Hoover Commercial SpinScrub C3820 SteamVac/Hoover F5914 SpinScrub SteamVac. I have the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro...

    Hoover Custom Convertible U4395 video

    IMHO, Hoover really improved the Convertibles tremendously when they introduced the Type A bag and the front conversion attachment set in 1977. I never liked the Type C bag and the rear conversion attachment set.

    Human, To convert your 1982 Kirby Heritage to accept the Micron Magic G4/G5 disposable bags, You need a Heritage II outer bag assembly or these Heritage II parts: Mini Emtor/Fill Tube/Bag Adapter. I hope this helps.
