    Windsor Sensor XP12 auto height not working

    I just acquired a Sensor XP12 in immaculate condition. I’m just curious if the auto height adjust mechanism in these Windsors and Sebos are known to be reliable or problematic? I’m currently trying to figure out why it won’t adjust and neither lights for the up or down arrows are working. I was...

    New Riccar Upright Models..Any Info yet?

    Yesterday, Tacony hosted a "product showcase" roadshow event in Houston, TX to show off their new Riccar clean air upright models. I tried to get in with a dealer friend of mine but their "security" detail would not let me in. because I was not a dealer. Of course, no cameras were allowed...

    Dyson V6 vs Dyson v10?

    Is the V10 really that much stronger? I'm working out of town and living in my RV and I need something cordless. I'm not bent on having the latest and greatest model of anything, just whatever works for floor and partial carpet areas.

    How to tell the age of a Electrolux Model G??

    I'm trying to identify the manufacture date of my Model G from the serial number. Could someone please tell me how to do this? I've already established that it's one of the earlier versions of G because of other factors, but I'd like to know more from the serial number. Thanks in advance...

    Help needed: Dyson DC22

    Has anyone here ever had the need to open up one of these? I need to get into mine to get to the cord reel and think I saw screw heads behind one of the wheels. I'd need to remove the wheel to get to the screws but I', trying to figure out how. There seems to be a cap covering the axle of the...

    One of my dream machines: AIR-WAY

    An Air-Way Centurion and the honeymoon hasn't worn off yet! I'm so impressed with the suction and build quality of this unit. The Cen-Tec power nozzle has such a unique brushroll with solid rows of red tufted bristles. I had an opportunity to trade with Tom Gasko for this machine and I was so...

    WANTED: Air-Way hose

    I'd like to buy a second hand Air-Way hose. I don't care what condition it's in as long as it has the chrome end that connects to the machine. I'll consider the tools also if you have those available. Please private message me or send email to: [email protected]

    Simplicity Freedom Premium model S10P

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this vacuum! This machine has such incredible power for a lightweight. It's everything that every Oreck lightweight never was. This machine appears to be very well made and great attention was given to the way it was packaged for shipping.

    Kenmore Elite Canister Owners?

    Can any of you who own this machine or who have "extensive" experience with this machine comment on the reliability of the power nozzle? I avoided the Intuition model from years before because of the issue with the 2 small wheels on the floor nozzle breaking off and ruining the electrical...

    Rainbow Super Mop attachemnt??

    Have any of you Rainbow owners had experience with this attachment? I'm really curious about its effectiveness. It seems to me that the microfiber pad would block the suction and that most of the liquid removal would be done by the pad more than by the suction. Please share your experiences.

    Any interest in a N.I.B. Airider?

    I'd rather check here first to see if anyone is interested before going to the trouble to put it on eBay. I don't really have time to bother with eBay but it's a necessary evil. I've been sitting on this one for about 9 months. I only turned it on once to test its floating abilities. Yes, it...

    Maintenance Schedule for Rainbow E2

    Can anyone tell me how often the rubber and foam seals that go between the machine and the water pan need to be replaced? Although my machine isn't very old (model w/LED lights), I've noticed a small amount of water on the outside of the pan when I go to change it. Have any of you ever replaced...

Is it true that the most current Rainbow canister model (the one with the re-designed power nozzle)has the same canister unit as one or two of the previous models? I'm looking to buy used and I was really really impressed with the high suction and...

    LG Kompressor Canister

    I was just wondering if anyone here has seen the LG Canister up close and in person and not simply by looking through the same online sources that we all have access to. I have yet to see one in a store and I've been very curious about the suction level, noise level and how well the power nozzle...

    polishing a plastic machine

    Could someone please remind me what works on a plastic vacuum to remove paint marks and to help minimize the scratches and scuffs. I just found one of those Swedish made Eureka Whirlwind canisters and I want to be careful because it has so much clear plastic on the body. Goof Off will remove...

    Ok, I've seen the model G in white, turqoise, and brown, but never in this shade of blue: http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTIQUE-VINTAGE-ELECTROLUX-CANISTER-VACUUM-MODEL-G_W0QQitemZ160357192491QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item255608932b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Was this one of the colors used...
