Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew if which canister had better suction, the Riccar Pristine or Lindhaus Aria? Thanks!

Hey There, I inherited my Great Aunt's Hoover Deluxe Convertible U4005 that has been barely used over the years. Anyway, I have tried using it to vacuum my office that has Berber carpet and I've noticed that the vacuum has a very hard time picking up large particles on the floor. It seems to me...

Hey everyone, I have a Compact C6 that was new out of the box when I got it, but I noticed the other day that there was a light blue flickering light coming from the blower port. I know that some motors glow when they get hot or turn on (my Hoover Elite motor used to turn orange after a...

Hey everyone, I bought a Compact C 6 and I have one of those dome filters that go over the exhaust port. It isn't original to the machine, but from what I know they were especially made for these machines after they were originally produced when hepa filters became popular. I can't for the...

Hey Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the suction measurement is for the last couple of Tristar models. I have a Tristar, and an older Compact C6. The Compact seems to have better suction, but the hose is a lot narrower.I don't know if that plays a role in the power or...

Hey Everyone, I was just wondering what the common consensus was about Dyson vacuums. Are they everything they're cracked up to be? Basically, I was wondering if they cleaned any better than a Royal Everlast or Kirby. In my experience, Royal Everlasts or Kirbys have for the most part cleaned...

Hey everyone, I always thought that the Hoover Convertable styles and the Eureka Sanitaire style vacuums were really good carpet cleaners but poor above carpet cleaners. I was always told that they created a lot of air flow in combination with the brushroll, however, with the just the fan going...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering how the Hoover Dial-A-Matics typically perform? In one of the other threads, there's a picture of the motor that was in the Dial-A-Matic, and it looks huge. Are the motors really that big or is it just the angle of the picture. It took me by surprize because...

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has tested or knows the suction rating of the Tri-Star Exl. I believe it was made in 2007. It had either a forty or thirty inch water lift and so I was wondering if it was higher with the mercury guage? Thanks for everything, Alex

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew what the suction rating would be for a Compact C-7 (yellow with blue flowers) and a Compact C-6 (green with blue flowers)? My local vacuum shop doesn't like to use the millimeters of mercury measurement tool and so I don't really have a way to test...

Hey Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone would know why my Royal Everlast has been having trouble pulling up the carpet nap as well as having problems with the brush not turning very well on the lower positions. My carpet is pretty low so the vacuum needs to be lower. Could it be that the...

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone had seen or heard of an upright Rainbow Vacuum cleaner? There was this website that said there were upright Rainbows. This was a first to me, I couldn't find anything on an upright model. Also, does anyone know how well the new Rainbow E2's suction is or...

Hey there, I have a Royal Everlast that's only a couple of years old. However, the brush has trouble turning on the lowest setting or even close to the low settings. I have to use it on low for it even to get close to my carpet. It worked fine on low until the last few weeks. Would getting a...

Hello, I was just curious if anyone knew if the Electroluxes that were manufactured and or sold throughout Europe were made by the same Electrolux Company in America? I know that the American Electrolux company was just fairly recently bought out by the European Electrolux appliance company...

Hey There, I have been desperately trying to figure out some the carpet shampooer brands that existed in the late 1980's and early 1990's. I know there was Rug Doctor, Thermax and Rinse N' Vac. I remember some tall metal one but not the brand name. Also my Mother swears there was a brand called...

Hey All, I have was wondering what people are thinking about the Hoover Platinum Bagged Uprights performance? Are they good cleaners and do they pull the carpet nap up well? Also what is the consensus on Oreck Platinums? Just curious if they are worth the price tag? Thanks, Alex

Hey Guys, My friend is looking to buy a new bagless upright vacuum cleaner. I'm not into bagless vacuums,so I don't know much about them. I much prefer bagged models, but he's bent on having a bagless. What do you think is the best bagless vacuum currently on the market. Also do you think that...

I recently replaced the fan in my Eureka it's similar to a Sanitaire. Anyway I bought a new brushroll to go with it too. The motor runs fine but it doesn't turn the brush. Could it be that I need a new belt? What do you think? Thanks A Bunch! Alex

Hi All, I'm thinking about getting a new vacuum and I'm debating on which brand to buy. One option is a Royal Everlast, another is a Riccar Tandem Air or I'm thinking a bagged Hoover Platinum or Electrolux. What do you guys think? Thanks for the input, Alex
