Hi all, I'm looking for a basic Nutone electric hose similar to the one pictured below. I prefer this pistol grip over the gas pump style that I currently have with my system. I wouldn't mind finding an Express-style powerhead to accompany it as well. Looking for item(s) that are in great...

Some women at work were talking about a newer YouTube craze - "Clean with Me" videos. Naturally, I had to check these out. Watching these videos I was shocked at the number of people who are cleaning their homes top to bottom using cordless stick vacs. Every now and then you'll see a corded...

I know that several of you purchased Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum's when they were first released several years back. I recall you having favorable opinions of this particular model. I'm just curious if you still enjoy this machine or if the appeal faded over time?

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a vacuum recommendation for my specific needs. I have a fairly large house (~5,000 sq. ft) with mainly hardwood floors and wool area rugs on the main level and a frieze wall to wall in my family room. The bedrooms also all have wall to wall carpeting of avg...

Hi All, I purchased a Sebo Felix back in December and find that I rarely use it. I still have the box for it but it's obviously too late to return it to the store. I'm toying with selling it but wasn't sure how much I could reasonably expect to get from selling a 6 month old machine. The...

Hi All, I'm looking to purchase an upright carpet cleaner to use in between annual professional carpet cleanings. In the past I've always just borrowed whatever brand my parents owned at the time. What models do you all own and/or recommend? Also, are there any upright models that have a...

Hi all, Given all the canisters nowadays have those awful gas pump handles, I'm looking for one of the following - *Hoover Celebrity QS canister with Quadraflex Powermatic (the TOL white model or the mint green) *Hoover Spirt 4.0 canister (S3487) in black with Quadraflex Powermatic...

This past weekend I went to an authorized Sebo dealer near my house to test a Sebo Felix. When I asked if he had any in the store he said he doesn't like to carry the Felix because it's a glorified electric broom and would much rather steer me towards an X4 or one of their powerhead canisters...

Has anyone picked one of these new machines up? It's the new TOL model that looks identical to the older Powered Lift Aways but now had a Duo Clean head. They've had the stick and Speed versions out for a bit now and those seem to have good reviews but I prefer a full size cleaner considering...

Just wondering if any other Flipping Out fans have noticed the number of vacuums Jeff Lewis has gone through in the last ten years or so. So far over the years I've seen - Electrolux Oxygen canister Roomba 530 (a whole episode dedicated to it) Dyson DC 25 (Zoila complained about its weight)...

So I've had my Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away XL Capacity for about 1.5 years now. Originally I purchased it to use while waiting for a replacement for my central vac unit. I purchased it at Costco and just figured I'd return it once the new unit was installed. I'm not a fan of bagless...

I'm looking for one of the final runs of the early 80's non-swivel mount Kenmore Power-Mate canister vacuums. There don't seem to be any in my area and I would prefer one of those final models in off-white or the very last model they made in black and labeled "Heavy Duty". Also potentially...

Hi All, Are there any powerhead canister vacuums on the market right now that are being sold without a gas pump grip besides the Perfect canister/Aerus classic? I miss the old pistol grip hoses found on Kenmore Power-Mates, Hoover Spirits, etc from the 80's/90s. Even my old 2002 Miele S528...

So I stumbled upon the following YouTube video that was produced by an independent vacuum shop. The video shares a common complaint Dyson owners have when it comes to using the tools. Personally, I have returned a Dyson DC41 and a DC65 because I couldn't stand using the hose and tools on either...

Hi All, I'm looking for a quality bagged upright vacuum that won't cost a fortune. Back in 2001 I scored a barely used Electrolux Epic 3500 upright for less than $100 and it worked wonderfully for years. I've had my share of bagless uprights and would like to go back to an Aerus. However...

Are there any canister vacuums manufactured now that have hoses longer than 6ft and don't have a bulky gas-pump handle? Maybe I'm spoiled by the 9 or 10ft hose with pistol grip that was on my mom's Kenmore Power-Mate growing up but I don't get why great companies like Miele still make expensive...

Does anyone have any experience with the Oreck Insight upright? It seems very comparable to the Oreck Forever Gold series upright. I had an Oreck XL from the early 2000's that ended up being a real POS. I swore I'd never own another one so I bought a Riccar Supralite which is a really...

I plan on purchasing a Volt powernozzle to use with my HAH central vac system. On the bedroom level of my house we have standard outlets and I'm thinking about buying a spare hose to keep upstairs that I can use to dust with and hook up to the Volt powernozzle to do the bedrooms. I'm torn...

Next month I'll have lived in a new construction home for exactly four years. The builder put in a Dirt Devil Pro Series 990 central vacuum. Yesterday when I came home from running an errand I noticed my garage smelled like smoke. I came in and I could hear the cleaning lady "vacuuming"...

As I was cleaning today I forgot to post pictures of my Hide a Hose outlet I had retrofitted to my home two years ago. As you might recall (it's been awhile) my home was built three years ago with the standard builder-grade central vacuum system. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to choose...
