So I guess it's on sale now. It's quite hard to believe that Miele did this after all. It's like Dyson would start to make bagged vacuums. Well anyway it's here and after watching these videos it seems to be "real" Miele style with the quite basic, but sturdy design. It's a single cyclone system...

I just thought to share this test. Results were very surprising. New vacuums didn't shine in this test. Lux Royal D790 from the mid 90's was the best. Philips P74 very close behind. It's from the mid 80's! Shark Rotator Pro Lift-Away was last. Electrolux UltraFlex with the new 2100W motor (yes I...

I just found used ph from the HYLA water filtration vacuum. It seems like it's exactly like the Wessel-Werk EBK 340. I found it from the Internet thrift store. Lady who sells it says, that it has been used only couple of times and price, just a 20€! So very tempting, but is it any good?

I think that EU went a bit too far with their regulations. Now almost all vacuums have 700 watt motors and that shows in suction/airflow. I know that having over 2000 watt vacuums is a bit overkill, but now we (EU countries) are stuck with this silly regulation what went a bit too far. These new...

I found this Philips from the Internet thrift store. It was very cheap and seller said it to be in good condition. Unfortunately body of the vacuum was partly cracked and scuffed , bag chamber door had also some damage + floor tool was in very bad condition. After one day of hard work I managed...

I have been interested about vacuums since I was a child. My actual enthusiasm for vacuums started about 10 years ago. Note that first 8 years I didn't collect vacuums. I always had just a one vacuum at the time and when I wanted new I sold the old one. My major interest now is how different...

So I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the full size powerhead Electrolux Paragon. It should be quite a big improvement compared to the old tiny ph what we get in the Europe. I will be using it with my Electrolux UltraFlex. It already has wiring to the powerhead. For now I have been using...

I just saw these videos and I am stunned. Basically what these videos are trying to prove is that the cyclone system in the bagless vacuums restrict the airflow A LOT. He even showed it quite dramatically how well these bagless vacuums can pull airflow without the cyclones. My own experience is...

I just made a video where I compare suction when the vacuum has a full bag vs empty bag. Note that this only apply to fleece bags. Reason why I did this test is because I have watched so many bagless vacuum commercials claiming no loss of suction and why bagged vacuums are so impractical and...

I thought to bring this video here, because result was quite shock for me. Of course I knew that the straight suction isn't the best way to get carpet deep down clean, but difference is huge. Also powerheads had a bigger difference than I thought. All vacuums in this test had almost empty...

I thought that I bring this subject to this forum. What people think about customizing the vacuum cleaner? Do you think that it's ruining or improving the vac? Here is what I did to my Electrolux UltraFlex Green: I ordered the longer 2.6 meter hose, because the original 1.5 meter was too short...

I was decided to buy a new bagless canister vacuum cleaner. So after a long search and investigation I finally selected the UltraFlex. Reviews in the Amazon were very positive and when I tried it in the store against the Dyson Dc39 I discovered that Electrolux is for me. Some points why. - it's...

So I took the powerhead section of the Kärcher (Sebo BS 36) upright apart from the main unit because there was loose latch (thing that makes the powerhead section attach to the main unit and swing). I repaired it and then I started to think what if... I am big fan of canister vacuums with the...

So I finally got the Lux D790 Royal. For me it's the "real" Electrolux. It seems very solidly built. Yes it's heavy and was overpriced for the most "normal" people in the 90's when it was made. But for vacuum enthusiast like me I appreciate classic look and durable structure. It's also powerful...

Has anyone any information about these canisters? Seller is the same who sold the AEG Vampyr 402 for me. All vacuums what he sells are refurbished by him. Ad says that D780 Royal is 1100 watts and comes with automatic floor nozzle. D740 Automatic is 1000 watts and comes with the powernozzle.

I just read the 2015 Finnish consumer reports test about canister vacuum cleaners. One thing was very interesting. Measured suction (air watts) power results clearly shows how much the suction has dropped with the new low wattage models. Quite dramatic drop in suction. Some examples: 2015...

I have been wondering if aggressive brush roll with the stiff bristles can cause damage to the delicate carpeting. My vacuum cleaner is a Kärcher CV36/2. It has very stiff and short bristles (basically copy of SEBO BS36 & Windsor Versamatic). This came to my mind when I vacuumed my parents...

So I spotted used Karcher CV36/2 upright for sale. Asking price is only 40€ and they claim that it is unused/great condition. I am very tempted to buy this to vacuum my carpets. It seems like a quality vacuum and brush roll in it has changeable brush strips. So do anyone has any experience of...

So I bought the Vorwerk VK 117-1H upright vacuum cleaner and it came with the ET 30 powerhead. In fact I bought it because of the powerhead and I intend to use the ph with my canister vacuum. Wiring for it is already sorted. Powerhead is almost non used and in excellent condition. Motor in it...

I have question for the vacuumland members. Do you use powerhead/upright with the brush bar for the shag type carpeting? I have found that even the midsize Miele SEB-217 (no height adjust) powerhead will tear some fibers off from the long pile shag carpet. After vacuuming I often found long...
