    Bought a Miele Triflex

    I'm not a huge poster here, but I wanted to post about my recent Triflex purchase to give my thoughts on it and maybe answer some questions from anyone thinking about buying it. I'll start by setting the scene, I have a small 1200 sq ft house with all hardwood floors and 3 area rugs and a...

    Aerus deals won't quote price over phone?

    I find that to be an out dated way to conduct business in 2018. Can anyone enlighten me as to what I might expect to pay in New England for a new one? There is also a large multi state fair coming up next month (the Big E, or eastern states exposition)and they usually have an aerus dealer there...

    Aerus deals won't quote price over phone?

    I spent some time today calling around to Aerus dealers within a reasonable driving distance to get prices on the Lux Legacy, and not one dealer would quote a price over the phone without either coming to my house (not gonna happen, I have 4 large dogs and the alpha is protective of his family...

    Miele S8 blowing air out cord

    So I took the vacuum into the dealer today, told him that it was blowing air out the back. He plugged it in, turned it on, felt the air coming out the back and said it was normal for it to do that. He said that it was because the filter was nearing the end of it's life. I questioned the fact...

    Miele S8 blowing air out cord

    Thanks for your responses. While I have the tools and probably the skills to take the vacuum apart, it sounds like it's a labor intensive project. I'd rather bring it to the dealer and make them fix their work rather than deal with the stress of doing it myself. They said they replaced the...

    Miele S8 blowing air out cord

    Hello, I have a 6 year old Miele S8 Homecare that is blowing air out of the cord wind area rather than the top where the filter is. I can't remember when it started doing this, but I would have to say it was right around the time I brought the vacuum into the dealer for a cleaning and to have...

    Panasonic MC-V5210

    OK, so it came in today. After unpacking and putting it together I tried it out and it has really good airflow and suction, but what is really nice is it has a stainless steel roller with nice stiff bristles that give it great agitation. I am unsure how much use it will actually get as it is...

    Panasonic MC-V5210

    Hello all, haven't posted in a while, but check in almost daily. I just bought a new Panasonic MC-v5210 online, and was wondering if they are any good? I normally do a lot of research before a purchase and I didn't even need another vacuum as my new Miele S8 homecare is AMAZING, but the deal was...

    Vacuum keeps clogging

    Well, I replaced the bag, which was only about 2/3 full, I always use the cloth hepa bags, which are ridiculously oversized for the bag compartment. I washed the pre filter, and the hepa filter is a little dirty, but so much air leaks from around it, I don't think it makes any difference. The...

    Vacuum keeps clogging

    Hi guys, I've got a kenmore progressive canister that I've been hoping would die since I bought it 2 years ago. Recently I've had the vac over at my moms place doing a spring cleanup, turning the basement back into a finished space instead of the dusty storage shed its been for the past few...

    Consumer Reports (March 2013) Vacuum Tests

    I have the kenmore 21514 #5 on the list, I can't stand the cheapness of it. I was told by the other half that I can't get a new Miele until this one dies, so I've been vacuuming for an hour a day trying to kill it. I do like some features like the on board storage, power and on/off control on...

    Quietest vac for all surfaces

    So, after doing some extensive checking and researching on the electrolux ultra silencer, I drove to the nearest vac shop that stocked them, which was almost an hour away. I was very impressed by how quiet it was, you could vacuum in the middle of the night and not wake up someone in the next...

    Quietest vac for all surfaces

    Hello, after some careful googling I found this site, I am in the market for a new vacuum cleaner. I currently have a year old kenmore progressive canister that ran about $400, it cleans well, and has some decent attachment and on board storage, but it's loud. I live in an old apartment, most of...

    Domestic Vacuums in Commercial Settings

    The store I work at has 32,000 square feet of carpeting and has to get cleaned every night. We have a big cordless tenant vac but its horrible. They just bought 6 $100 eureka bagless units that will be dead in a couple months. I have to wash the filter and use an air compressor to clean out the...
