I found this recently and it looks intriguing. It's the first cordless water filtration vacuum that I've seen, and it's also a stick vac (advertised as an upright). It appears to just have a small handvac in it, and there's a bulbous piece just above the floor nozzle. I'm wondering if the lower...

Hi everyone, I have a Rainbow E2 Platinum and I'm having some trouble with the power nozzle. I bought it used from someone who said the hose has a possible short, I have two electric hoses for it and neither one powers the nozzle correctly. At first it worked for a while but now nether hose...

Hi all, I was curious and decided to test something out. I decided to vacuum the medium pile carpet in front of my front door on the lowest power setting of my Electrolux Guardian Encore and then go over the same area on the highest power setting to compare how much it picks up on each...

My boyfriend and I are moving into our own house within the next month. We're doing some updating/renovating to the house (built in 1957. My great grandparents lived in it from the 1980s up until just over a year ago) and I am absolutely adding a central vacuum system. The house has no garage...

My boyfriend and I run a house and carpet cleaning business as we both enjoy cleaning. Today we started cleaning for a somewhat regular customer. He's had us do all of the carpets and the windows of a home he just purchased a few weeks ago and was happy with the results so he hired us to clean...

I flipped the switch on a trash find Eureka Super Lite and it sounded like a jet enshrine about to take off. I popped it open and it seems as though I may have found the issue...

Hi all! I'm trying to disassemble my Electrolux Renaissance, but I am having a bit of trouble. I've gotten the screws out of the bottom and nothing else will budge-what am I doing wrong? This is the first Electrolux tank I've disassembled. Thanks!

Until recently I've been using enviro-care bags in my Electrolux Renaissance. I happened to be near an Aerus dealer just a couple weeks ago and decided to pick up a pack of genuine R style bags and I've been using the first bag from the pack since then. I typically use my central vac around the...

Hi all! I found this machine at a Goodwill for $4.99 and I just had to get it. Now I'm lost as to where to find bags for it at! I'm aware that Aerus has discontinued them, and the owner of my local (somewhat.. Close to an hour away lol) Aerus dealer said he can't even find generic ones for them...

I recently decided to buy a new canister and upright vacuum for my mom's house. My Eureka Surfacemax started having many problems and I got tired of having to pay $7 for 3 small bags from Amazon so I threw that away a few weeks ago and planned to just use my Dyson on the hard floors and carpet...

So I got my Dirt Devil Deluxe and my Eureka SuperLite that I paid $0.99 and around $25 shipping for on Ebay. I cleaned up the Dirt Devil last night and it runs pretty well. It really surprised me how well it works, and how quiet it is! It has an 11.5 amp motor and a working headlight. It had a...

Has anyone else noticed that the United States Hoover website recently started calling their carpet cleaners "carpet washers," like what they call them in the United Kingdom? I kinda like the change. http://hoover.com/products/category/carpet-washers/

I got them both for $0.99, plus around $25 for shipping. I bid on it because I wanted the Dirt Devil, and I'm not sure what I'll do with the Eureka. I'll probably just clean it up. I already bought a pack of type C MicroFresh bags for the Dirt Devil, but I'm not sure which style of filter the...

I just bought this Kenmore 116.2543083 vacuum. I would like to order bags for it, but I just ordered it and, of course, I do not have it yet. Could anyone help me find out what type of bags it takes? http://www.ebay.com/itm/181100255864?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I'm thinking about buying this, but I'm unsure of whether or not I should trust like the seller since this person recently joined Ebay... Can anyone give any advice on what I should do...

I have a Eureka Victory (Mega Boss, I think) at my grandma's house, and the vacuum is in somewhat poor condition (still works, it has lots of scratches and scuffs on it. Needs a new bottom plate). I really like the design of these machines, and I bought it because I saw it at a thrift store and...

Hello, this is my first time starting a topic. I've read some people on here saying that nothing beats a dirty air upright for carpet cleaning. What's your opinion on using vintage dirty air uprights on carpeting vs. using bypass type upright vacuums? I've been thinking about buying a vintage...
