On facebook I have been seeing teaser ads about Sebo having real black Friday deals. Any vacuum dealers know what is being offered? There seem to be some deals on Miele on amazon. No idea if vac shops have better offerings?

Hi. Was using inherited rainbow d4c which seemed a little loud since we got it. While it was running, it suddenly started running quiet but has electric burning smell. Any idea what might be wrong with it?

I have inherited a Rainbow D4c with a split developing in the electrical hose fairly close to the metal at the top. This d4c has the older rectangular power nozzle. I don't want to pay a fortune for a new hose. I thought I'd try Self-fusing Silicon tape. Is there something better to use...

My parents have a 8 or so year old Riccar SLR commercial model vacuum. Recently it has gotten extremely loud. I removed the belt and still extremely loud, are these vacs repairable? Any idea what might be wrong? It makes an old oreck seem quiet by comparison. Thanks.

Shark Vertex Bagless Corded Canister Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins doesn't look too bad. Anyone tried it? I wonder how well it will hold up with the swivel on the "pole" design.

Just curious how other people vacuum stairs - upholstery tool, powered mini tool, canister with full size power nozzle, cordless vacuum, etc. What is the best method and best vacuum/tool for the job?

CR tested the new Rainbow SRX and Sirena. CR reports a price of $1300 for the Rainbow SRX but notes that Rainbows were mostly available through Rainbow reps. The new Rainbow excelled at cleaning medium pile carpeting, but stunk at cleaning bare floors with the snowplowing power nozzle. The...

Anyone have one of these? How does it compare to Rainbow carpet cleaner? They look very similar. Storm Carpet Shampoo System Deisgned to Fit Nearly Any Water Wet/Dry Vacuum Rainbow Sirena OceanBlue ProAqua Etc...

I had always heard that Shark was junk. Yet somehow according to Consumer Reports, Shark has the highest scores for owner satisfaction among upright vacuums. Has Shark gotten better?

So the rumor is that there is a new Rainbow coming soon. It is public knowledge that Rainbow has trademarked the name SRX. Perhaps we can have some fun and guess what SRX stands for. SRX = sucks rexair? Perhaps we can speculate what might be coming. I certainly hope that they will have a...

So what's the story about the New Simplicity S20EZM? It looks like a fairly nice vacuum with a MSRP of $269.99 but with a 1 year warranty. Is it made in the US? I guess it uses stretch belts?

Sams club apparently has a special deal on the Sirena water filtration vacuum for only 5 days. Special price for members is $623...

Miele has a couple of special deals going on from 11/18-12/12. "Enjoy 20% off the new Miele Maverick Upright and Complete C2 Limited Edition." So how does the Miele U1 Maverick compare to the other more expensive Miele uprights like the Dynamic U1 Twist...

So what's the story behind the Bank Vault vacuums? "The Bank Vault is designed to give you the same cleaning performance and superior filtration as other leading German brands costing $1000 or more. It comes complete with several floor tools and accessories to handle all of your cleaning...

I found it interesting that a cleaning company would (1) use Rainbow vacuums, and (2) would attribute dirt collected to the vacuum, and (3) show pictures of filth from customer's homes. Caption to picture: "This is what the Rainbow picked up from one room while the homeowner normally uses...

Consumer Reports has reviewed a fairly nice group of vacuums. Ratings are available for the new Kirby Avalir, Miele Dynamic uprights, several Maytag vacuums, fuller Brush Mighty Maid, and the usual suspects. I don't generally trust the overall rankings because it's not clear how they are...

Anyone tried the $260 deep carpet cleaner? How does it compare to the Hoover and Bissell offerings? http://shop.rugdoctor.com/
