Hey guys, I'm usually over in contemporary because I'm not really into straight suction or really old machines, but a friend gave me this tonight and I don't know anything about it except that it is missing the cord! So I can't play with it or run it or anything... I'm sure the hoses and...

I had a problem with genuine Sebo bags separating from the plastic collar... these were brand new genuine Sebo bags that I got from Govacuum.com and this is the third time this has happened... The bags aren't even halfway full when it happens, so the problem is quite annoying... dirt gets all...

So, I got a Rainbow E-series today after wanting one for years. I was told that the 2 speeds with the brushless motors were better, and I thought that's what this was, but it was not... I wasn't about to change my mind after driving an hour just because it wasn't a two speed. It's the...

I just missed out on the deal of a lifetime and I'm pretty sad about it... I found a 2 speed Rainbow E series on C/L for 50 bucks... it came with electric and non-electric hoses, the shampooer, the power nozzle, all the attachments, and 2 bottles of shampoo... and it was 50 bucks! Of course...

I want a dual brush scrubber and have been looking at these machines... Just wondering what the differences between the Hoover and Koblenz versions are. I found pads and brushes for the Koblenz on ebay but none for the Hoover... are they still available? Is one of these better than the...

I've noticed that virtually every vacuum cleaner shop recommends the Royal carpet cleaner pictured below.  I've never used one, so I'm wondering, what's the deal with these?  Are they really better than a Hoover Spin Scrub?  Do they extract better and why do vacuum shops love them so much?  Does...

There is a Miele S7 Salsa locally for sale for 199...  I was wondering what you all would consider a fair price for a used Miele S7.  I know the base model is at Bed Bat and Beyond for I think just under or around 500... (it's been a while since I've been there)...   This one seems to have...

I was at a thrift store the other day and I noticed a vacuum that looked like the one picture below. It was green instead of purple and I thought it was a Riccar at first, but after I got home I tried to to find pictures of it and it turned out to be a Simplicity 7 Series from what I can tell...

Anyone seen this yet?  I'll link to a video below...  It seems to be an electric toothbrush meets swiffer kind of of thing...  It claims to clean carpet and bare floors, but you have to use their solution, so I don't know what people will do if they stop making the solution.   It looks weird...

I have a co-worker that I'm kind of friends with and she has broken her vacuum cleaner again and asked me to help her find a new one.  She said she was using it and it just turned off.  She realized that she stepped on the cord when she was pushing the machine away from her and probably...

I was at a thrift store today and found a Royal Prince all metal hand vac... for 6 bucks! There were just 2 on C/L for 50 dollars for the pair and I almost considered buying them, but I'm so glad I waited. It was missing the plug, but I can find one online or use the one from the dirt devil...

So, I just had a neighbor bang on my door at the crack of noon (which is equivalent to 5 AM to most people because I work my second job until 3 AM)... I threw on some clothes upside down and inside out and groggily answered the door, hair a mess, sleepy seeds in my eyes, and creases fron the...

I have a friend who told me her vacuum wasn't "sucking" anymore and asked me if I could have a look at it. It's actually her boyfriend's vacuum that his grandmother gave him and since she's passed away now the vac holds sentimental value... When I initially looked at it, I could see that the...

So, today, I went to a thrift store and found a Sanyo Transformax. I've wanted one for years, and I had almost given up the search because I thought they were impossible to find. This was the same thrift store that I found my Sharp straight suction canister at last month (the one that has the...

I went to a Catholic thrift store that I don't get a chance to go to very often... I never see decent vacuums at thrift stores, but this was the one that I got my Kenmore Direct Drive from, so I had a glimmer of hope. I was shocked at their selection... Mostly vintage Hoovers... a...

Hey guys... I was using my Electrolux Diamond Jubilee tonight and it would down for about a minute and a half after turning off, so I assume that is the bearings... I've never gone into an Electrolux canister or serviced bearings before, so I thought this would be a good time to learn.... does...

OK, I'm trying not to get too excited because every time I find a vacuum for sale, the seller sells it out from under me before I can get to it, but tomorrow, I'm going to buy my first Windsor for 75 dollars. It's a Sensor 12. I've wanted a Sebo for a while, but I never see them for sale...

I decided to buy this vacuum on whim because I really liked the looks of it. I know that Euro-pro makes incredibly low qualihy products, and I do not trust the brand, but this vacuum seemed pretty cool, so I thought I would go into it with an open mind. I tried that with the Shark Pocket Mop...

Hey guys, I found this for sale for 85 dollars and I quite like it. The only problem is that it doesn't come with ANY of the attachments.... What do you think would be a fair price for this thing considering that it doesn't come with the attachments? I'd want them, so I'd have to look on...

A friend's mother just bought a Bionaire steam mop and said it was too heavy for her to push. She gave it to me and told me to do whatever I wanted with it. Less than a month old and only used 1 time, I figured it would be pretty good. I have a Haan, but my Haan doesn't have a swivel head so...
