    Bag Change after 8 and 1/2 Months

    I had to do an Amazon vine review and take pictures for the review of some generic HEPA type A bags (10 pack) that I received...so I thought I'd share since I already had the pics for the review. These HEPA bags never cease to amaze me... Look how clean inside the chamber is.. this vacuum is...

    Reconditioned Kirby?

    Hey - This is my first ever post in this section: I've really really been wanting to buy a Kirby lately...but not one that looks like it's been through hell that I have to fix up myself. I've been watching videos about them and I feel like I know so much more about them.... I take care of my...

    Silver Infused HEPA bags

    I saw one of vacuum devils youtube videos going over these new bags made by the company that makes the Zero G vacuum... I think from what I understand the company has started making HEPA bags for other vacuums.. They are lined with silver so that would stop bacteria growth keeping the bag...

    5 Year Update Cirrus CR-79 Upright

    Hey - I don't think there's much interest in these vacuums here but I'll share anyway... I'm pretty sure I bought this November 2018.. so it's going on six years old. (not bad) I remember at the time I think I paid $379 for it. (or something around that) I think overall it is a really nice...

    Bissell Little Green (how to find correct replacement O rings?)

    My little green is about 10 years old. Maybe even more than that...It works PERFECTLY except for one thing... I think the two O RINGS are disintegrating. What happens is the cleaner head is EXTREMELY difficult to get on/off. I have to use all my strength.If I mess with the O rings and try to get...

    Just used my Home Depot Hoover Turbo Scrub Again.

    Had it almost 3 years now. I remember when I bought it it was $129 but ended up getting $30 off that. I think this is my favorite carpet cleaner EVER.. It's so simply designed...I think it's Hoover's BOL. It's not on their website but I'm not sure if they make this model specifically for home...

    My Cirrus CR-79 Handle is breaking

    So this Novemeber I will have had this vacuum 5 years. When I bought it I would told to never pick it up by the handle...so I've been super careful to never do that...but even still, using it today, I noticed the handle kept getting looser and I could see it trying to come apart from side to...

    Am I changing this belt correctly? (Pictures)

    Hey guys...I'm almost embarrassed to ask such a question on here about changing a belt....Here's the thing...It's been about a year and I decided to take the brush roll out...vacuum around down there and while I was there I changed the belt...used the vacuum for a week... everything seemed...

    Does A HEPA bag = HEPA filtration?

    Hey - I know lots and lots of vacuums use HEPA bags but in addition to that they have a HEPA filter (often sealed)...what I'm wondering is...what if a vacuum uses a HEPA bag but does not have a HEPA filter? Is the result going to be the same since practically nothing escapes those HEPA bags...

    I don't think the bag change indicator is accurate

    Of all the bagged vacuums I've had that have a bag change indicator.....I don't understand how they work......For example, obviously, if you put your hand over the suction, the light pops on because you're blocking airflow......As the bag fills, more airflow gets blocked, but NOT ENOUGH for the...

    Weird thing happened with my vacuum today

    My daily driver (Cirrus CR79) which I really like BTW - I went to use it today as I do most every other day and as I turned it on I noticed a strange sound and I smelled what I can only describe as hot metal or possibly rubber, almost like something was to the point of burning but I saw no...

    Carpet Washer Method

    I'm going to buy a Hoover SpinScrub at Home Depot. But I've been watching videos and some people do it this way and it sounds like it would make it MUCH easier using a Pump Sprayer Here...

    Canister Deep Cleaner

    I came across this youtube video of someone pushing this for car detailing. There are tons of videos of people using it for car detailing, but it can be used for carpet cleaning too. It comes with a longer hose as well. Here's the thing: This is just MY opinion: I feel like canister deep...

    Which vacuum is this?

    In this video, go to 10:17 I almost want to say it's a Rainbow, but I don't think so. Anyway, it's 1975.

    Waiting Months for Bags/Filters

    Back in Late Oct, I ordered a 6 pack of HEPA bags and 1 HEPA filter and 1 pack of belts....they are STILL in backorder! I wonder why so long? I've never seen anything on backorder this long....and it's all of the items, not just one...

    Cirrus Cr75

    can someone give me a list of which bags fit. Apparently there are so many aftermarket bags for Riccar and Simplicity....then there's CleanMax. From what I understand, the Riccar A and B bags will both fit, but that the B bags fit better than the A? I haven't tried, just what I was told. Then I...

    Help! What is happening to my Rainbow

    During the past month, I've noticed this. At first I thought it was just because I didn't have it seated correctly......and it started working after a few tries. In the middle of cleaning if I needed to turn it off/back on, it would go off and on fine. So now, I'm using it again to clean and...

    How Often to change Hepa filters in (HEPA) bagged vacuums?

    Hey - I have a Cirrus Upright bagged HEPA (supposedly sealed) I really love the vacuum and I use it pretty much daily. It's been a year now and I've only used (3) of the bag of 6 hepa bags. I can let them fill up and there is NO trace of dust in the bag chamber. I don't think I've ever had a...

    Hyla GST Seemed to have passed the "baby powder test"

    I was watching this video last night. This guy refurbs high end vacuums and sells them on Ebay. Some of you may have seen his videos. Anyway, if you move forward starting at 21:19, he's showing how these machines will not work vacuuming up fine powders or drywall dust. He says not to do it with...
