I've previously had issues with some mold forming on the walls of my bathroom, probably because of the humidity from the shower. I don't have an exhaust fan but thought I would get a dehumidifier and run that during and after showers. It works great. It's interesting how these work, basically...

There is one major brand of central vacuum that I don't have in my collection, Cyclovac. So, I ordered the 7525, this thing sounds amazing. It has two motors, but the motors are separate units. I use my central vacuums without pipes, just connect the hose directly but there is one thing that...

I know Shark vacuums are very difficult to repair but I didn't know what they did to make their vacuums so difficult to repair other than not providing parts. I came across this video that really describes it well. I know some on here use Shark cleaners and like them and that's fine. For those...

I was at my mom's recently and we found her blender in the basement, plugged it in and it still runs great, though when turning it off it sounds like the motor might be getting a dry baring. She got it back in 1970 and I'm wondering if anyone knows more about these. It says osterizer on it, I'm...

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows if Central Vacuum Stores is no more? This was a major on line retaylor of central vacuums and portable vacuums as well and they were based in Florida but the web site is no longer available. This was a pretty large on line web site for vacuums...

While I still don't think robot vacuums have gotten to the point where they can take the place of corded vacuums, they have come a long way in the last 20 years, originally they would just bounce around the room randomly and were about as powerful as a dust buster. The robots available now are...

MD has a new central vacuum power nozzle available, they are calling it the Falcon, I'm sure it's a rebranded power nozzle since they don't make their own but based on the description I can't tell which one it is. It's not the Dustcare PB11 or a Eureka express since those don't have height...

So, is it just me or do other collectors also feel some disappointment when something related to vacuums that they really like becomes discontinued and is now a part of vacuum history? That's the case for me here, the Centec CT10 power nozzle is now a thing of the past and is no longer...

I know a lot of us collect other appliances besides vacuums. I'm not sure if anyone on here collects coffee machines but if so, you will probably like this youtube channel. He does other reviews as well but a lot of his videos relate to lots of different coffee machines, including lots of the...

I was browsing the e vacuum store web site just to see if there were any new canister cleaners and I was surprised to find that they are selling the Filter Queen now. I doubt that anyone will pay the price they are asking, if you look at their canister vacuums page it's $3398. That's crazy and I...

There are times when a particular product can solve a problem that you have really well, and this is one of those cases. First a little background. I live in a second floor apartment, it has central air which is a very good thing. The furnace-air handler is in the basement and the compressor is...

Got my windows replaced this week and the window company had a Euroclean canister cleaner to clean up the mess. It was nice, very quiet and it sounded like a two stage motor. I'm thinking I might want one of these for my collection. Apparently Nilfisk makes the Euroclean brand and a brand called...

These look interesting, apparently they are made in Germany, I'm wondering if they do something similar to running a water vacuum on low speed. Based on the description, it appears that they use an external power supply which makes me think that they may use D.C. brushless motors. On the highest...

Of course, everyone has their favorite cleaner and you should use what you like, but some of these reviews are so biased. This reviewer obviously believes that all vacuums should be bagless and cordless now and that a cordless cleaner will clean just as well if not better than a corded cleaner...

Ok, for the Eureka experts, was looking at some Eureka vacuum commercials, does anyone know which Eureka power team this is? I really like the suction motor sound on this one, sounds similar to the Electrolux super J. Mike

Since I use distilled water in my humidifiers I figured I would try a home water distiller, has anyone tried these? I'll include a link to the one I purchased. Buying distilled water is not that expensive but if I can make it myself that would be nice. I'm making my second batch now, this unit...

As you can tell from my previous posts, I absolutely love central vacuum units, and using them without pipes really gives you the best of both worlds, the power and convenience of a central vacuum without the need to install anything. I'm looking at getting a few more units, and here they are...

I think most of us on here collect vacuums of one type or another, but I'm wondering how many collect central vacuum units? Ever since I got my first central vacuum unit and saw how powerful they were, along with the convenience of not having to pull a vacuum around I was hooked and I knew I...

I know we have some on here who really enjoy their Kirby cleaners so I thought I would post this video, it provides three suggestions to improve the performance of Kirby vacuums, if you use a Kirby frequently you may already know these but I thought some may find it helpful. Mike

I'm mostly a canister, backpack or central vacuum person but I do have one upright, the Sebo Felix mainly because it provides much of the same flexibility that a canister provides, and that got me to thinking about Sebo's different upright series. There are four different series and I'm...
