Riccar just released four new machines. One is a cordless stick-type cleaner that incorporates mopping abilities into it. The other three are not so "new" except for the one I am most excited about, which is the R27 cordless. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of those. The other two R27's...

Hi everyone, I have always cleaned out my bagless vacuum cleaners with the air compressor after use. I recently purchased a Dyson V15 in April, and I use it almost daily. I have read and seen videos where these newer Dyson cordless machines can easily end up with a load of dust in the...

Hey everyone I just wanted to say I decided to treat myself and I bought myself a C3 Brilliant yesterday. Such a beautiful vacuum and my third new Miele. You can say it’s in honor of their 125th anniversary and the 10 year anniversary of having my S5. I haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet but...

Hey everyone, I have been considering purchasing a rainbow for several years off and on. I work in a vacuum store and recently I had a customer donate a complete E2 gold single speed unit. It runs great and has the aquamate with it and everything. I haven’t had much experience with rainbows for...

Finally after about a year of consideration I purchased myself a new Riccar Supralite cordless R10CV. I took home a Simplicity Freedom cordless demonstrator model this weekend to see how it would perform in my home and it did better than I expected. I was concerned the machine wouldn’t be...

Today my Miele dealer received a brand new (old stock) Miele S7 Swing. I have wanted a swing or tango for so long and in 2017 I purchased a used S7 Salsa. Today I traded the Salsa for the Swing. I have to bring the Salsa back tomorrow as I was not expecting to purchase a machine today but they...

I’ve noticed within the last couple of years since Miele changed their naming system from “S” models to complete, compact, classic “c” models that they have not been themselves so to speak. I hated the naming system then as I do now but they began making some machines in China and brought back...

Has anyone else seen or heard about the revival of Oreck but it’s called David now? Tom Oreck is the president and it’s the REAL Oreck not TTI garbage the the name Oreck is being produced under today. Funny enough the new David vacuums are actually rebadged Tacony lightweight uprights. Just a...

Hi, I’m having great difficulty putting a lifetime belt onto a forever gold Oreck. I didn’t know if anyone has felt with these synthetic belts and had a technique to put them on. They’re so good at being stretch proof that I can’t stretch it from the brush to the motor shaft. Please help! Thanks.

The Sebo Essential G1 and G2 are being discontinued and replaced by the G4 and G5. Just wanted to let you guys know if you didn’t know already.

I have an Oreck Platinum Pilot from 2011 and my local Oreck Store has closed. Apparently every Oreck Store in my state and neighboring states have closed. I want to get an intake seal off of Amazon so I can perform my own tune-ups, but I’m not sure if it will work for a Platinum Pilot or if it...

I am considering on getting a Kirby. I would like one of the Generation series with Tech Drive. I prefer the looks of the G5 and newer. I also do not want one with Tech Drive that makes that horrible noise when pushed forward and back which seems to be a common issue on older generations.

I was wondering, does the current Miele active airclean (charcoal pet filter) contain hepa media. I want to get this for my Miele but I want it to draw a zero on the particle counter test. I can’t seem to find anything on it except how to change it and it’s a odor reducing filter. Does anyone...

How do I figure out the date this Electrolux was made?

I have been trying to repair a Dyson DC14 animal telescope reach that was in for a new clutch. The owner tore it apart so I also had to realign everything and repair damage done from that teardown. I replaced the cleaner head housing completely with a DC14 full kit head. The problem I’m having...

I was in the grocery store and needed a new cordless vacuum and decided to see what they had. They had just received their first shipments of the new Dyson Digital Slim v6. I decided I would get one and wondered if anyone else on this forum had one.

Notice in the picture posted below that the vacuum says "kirby" on it, when has a kirby ever looked like that? [never]

I'm thrilled because I now own a Miele s5 Leo that I got from my local sew and vac store! I love it! It will be my daily driver (sad news, my previous daily driver, the oreck, has had some issues so this led me to retire it). I will enjoy this vacuum for a long time.

The BEST thing EVER happened to me! I'm getting a Miele s5381 Leo! It's scheduled to come directly from the Miele plant in Germany in late September! It's August 24th right now. Just got to tap my foot and stay on my toes. I'll post pictures and a review of it when it arrives. 'Till then tell me...

Today I went to the Tidewater Sew and Vac and they had a big Miele display. Giving the Miele lover I am you know I was in heaven when I saw the S8 UniQ! I asked them if I could test it. They didn't have the hose, wand, or power nozzle attached. They said it was "to much to keep up with those...
