"Scamway" ... "Also I don't like the word 'scamway'"... I'm fine with it. My family and I are all former (majorly duped) and now recovering distributors. The Amway corporation itself is rock solid and has amazing products (the laundry detergent is unequalled in my opinion). However, its...

My two cents ... "Hey talking about the Amway vacuums who here think that the Amway vac's were much better than some Fantom ones?" I had (still have, but no longer using) a 1996 Fantom Thunder that I bought the same year my Mom got her Cleartrak. She's still using her Cleartrak. It gets a...

Welcome!! :)

FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION IT!! Spotted this guy at the gym on Wall Street yesterday.

NICE! One of Hoover's most iconic models.

Hi Shaun! Welcome! My two cents. I live in a smallish apartment in Manhattan and use two vacuums: a 1969 Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 and the latest model Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum canister. I love my Aerus -- eight speeds and unbelievable suction -- but the power nozzle in my opinion doesn't...

And yet ... "Miele hoses are designed to be light weight and durable. The hoses are tested by lifting wights with them. The crushproof style hose in general holds up far better than wire reinforced hose and do the smoother interior provides better airflow by lack of resistance. As a wire...

Wow ... The D80 looks downright petite next to those other two beasts! LOL!

soooo jealous! That's the exact model I've been looking for! MINTY!

Welcome, Brian! Big hug to you!

Curious ... Why would anyone prefer a shake-out bag over a disposable? I have my D80 retrofited with a disposable bag setup.

Is it worth it at 45 bucks? OMG it's worth $4500 bucks!!!

Rob ... ... with all due respect, you've never seen how my mother packs shipments. The stuff is better-packed than if it came from the factory. And any possible shortcomings in her packing job certainly wouldn't explain my brother's missing books ... one of which missing out of a...

Indeed ... "just to meet an impossible imaginary quota" I doubt very many UPS customers would mind -- or even notice -- an extra day of transit in exchange for packages carefully handled.

USPS isn't much better ... When my baby brother was home for Christmas from Tacoma, Washington last Christmas, he tried to stuff some of his old books and other items from his old bedroom into his suitcases. Mom suggested he just set aside the stuff he wanted, and she would pack it and ship it...

Congrats! It's always fun when you find something you've always wanted!

Thanks Robert! Thanks for sharing!

It wasn't until ... ... I bought my "new" D80 that I really understood what I'd been missing in terms of deep cleaning of my rugs. I'd never had a vacuum literally pull the rug up off the floor before!

Joseph ... "What seems like a deviation from that theory is that for several times, they've rated the Miele Twist above the Kirby. I have a Miele Cat and Dog, and I rarely use it because that thing is a beast--heavier than any Kirby I have, more expensive to maintain, harder to push, and...

Consumer Reports ... ... Meh. I take their ratings with a grain of salt anymore.
