I run a Sanitaire blue 5 amp upright with a Vibra groomer ll brushroll but find that the white bristles aren't very stiff. Are the blue inserts stiffer? Thanks! Greg

I use a Eureka Boss upright daily but go through belts fast (at least I think so). My vac store sells me Everclean belts at a good price, but are they the best? Or should I be using genuine Eureka belts? Thanks! Greg

Is there much difference in say a Lux Epic 3500 upright then and the new one now? I know there's an after filter and probably a better brush roll but is it worth the difference? I've a chance to buy a 3500 for $30.00 . Greg

Our Webmaster's posting of Kenmore pages has me asking: Did Sear's ever have a really good upright vacuum? The pages Robert posted show a few (or the same ) uprights but was there ever a real "winner" in the Kenmore upright line? I know they had a version of the Singer twin fans and then in...

Push the vacuum with? Do you use your dominant hand? Or do you switch back and forth? I push a vacuum around on a daily basis and while I'm left handed, I don't vacuum exclusively with the left hand. I tend to prefer to use my left/dominant hand for all cleaning using a canister vacuum and/or...

Vacuumlanders! Go to AW in the super forum and take a look at all the pics I took of the wonderful Hans Craig's collection! He has over 700 vacuums and far too much to describe! Almost 30 pics! Greg

A Big Shout Out to Kent Oyler of KirbyNeeds LLC or KirbyFans on ebay! I purchased a re-furbished Sanitronic VII from him that purrs like a kitten and cleans like nothing I've used in a while! I more than pleased! So look him up on Ebay and get to know him. I'll buy from him again! Greg

I love my Sanitronc VII, but can't get a vac store here to tighten it decently. Does the shell from a Dual 50 fit a VII? Greg

I'm using my small nozzle Heritage more and more and I'm using the universal style Hepa bags in it. But I'm having a problem with the fit of the bag onto the fill tube. It seems as if every other bag blows off the tube. Does the F style bag holder work better? Also I would like to wire my...

I've pulled my Heritage II out of storage but have no bags for it. Will the newer allergy friendly bags work? How about the newest style bags? Looking on the Kirby website makes me feel that the bag opening's are pretty much the same. Am I right? Thanks! Greg

My Princess I has the old cotton batting filter. How often should you change the filter and while I know the new foam one makes the machine a bit louder, will it also improve the suction? Greg

Help me refresh my memory! What's the right belt to use on them? In the Tip Top Parts catalog, the OEM knurled belt is O.K. What belt for the polisher? The Sanitronic is a single speed 4 amp machine. The D50 is rated at 5 amps for high. 4 amps for carpet speed? Thanks! Greg
