    Samsung high-end Motion Sync vacuum cleaners

    Going by looks alone, I think I'd just as soon take the Samsung! (I just hope their vacuums are more durable than their cell phones... I've never had a phone that the screen breaks if you just look at it the wrong way until I got a Samsung...) The law suits are ridiculous... If Dyson was...

    Kirby salesperson worst nightmare

    When I sold the Ultimate G, we were killed by a green, plastic, bagless Dirt Devil Vision... Seriously, the Kirby got nothing in the home that was regularly cleaned with that machine and the Dirt Devil wouldn't quit pulling stuff up... I was horrified and shocked all at the same time!

    Panasonic Stick Vac with Power Brush

    I've never seen one before, and would have definitely snapped it up! Kind of like the Kenmore glide! The power nozzle is very Miele-esque! When I first saw it before I noticed the power nozzle, I thought it was a Eureka Superbroom! I wonder how old it is and how available bags are? Anyway...

    The "SonicClean" upright...

    While not the first machine to beat as it sweeps as it cleans, I think any modern company still offering a bagged machine should be applauded. It does look cheap, but I like the big power switch. The lights on the front of the nozzle are cool too, until they burn out! I didn't like the sound...

    Some recent vacuums I've seen...

    I wonder how the Nilifisk compares to a Sebo/Windsor... Reminds me of Lindhaus... Yes, get the Cruiser! I've never seen one with purple plastic parts! It was my dream machine for a very long time, and I do love mine, though I don't use it much. Not much suction, though agitation is great...

    Demoing vacuums

    When I worked at Sears, we did... lots of demos... even when there were no customers I vacuumed and I drove the people in the neighboring departments crazy with the noise.... major appliances, electronics, and sporting goods all hated me! If Bobby was working there was going to be a vacuum...

    EWW!

    Eric, that is freaky. I sneeze at work all the time and very seldom anywhere else... what nasty places LOL

    EWW!

    By the way, are you going to show us the Panasonic? Awesome find and great price! The new/current Panasonics are kind of disappointing, but I like their older stuff.

    EWW!

    So you plugged the power nozzle into the a regular wall outlet then? Horrifying indeed. I'm sure there is stuff in the bag (been too scared to look) because when I started, the bag check indicator was green and now it's orange! I have to change the bag now. Note that I've been using the...

    EWW!

    It's a sharp canister.... I will try to put a link to my video of it on here but sometimes that doesn't work because I'm using my phone.... if it doesn't I'll do it from the computer later tonight...

    EWW!

    How did you get a shop vac to run a power nozzle? I agree it's gross what modern machines leave behind... One of the place I work at uses these for vacuum cleaners. I brought this (straight suction only mind you)... And got this... Need I say more?

    Hoover Celebrity QS

    Thanks Fred and Robert... such an infuriating problem to have because the very machine that is supposed to be cleaning the floor is making it dirtier than it started! I will definitely take your advice when I'm ready to tackle fixing this...

    Electrolux that I don't know anything about

    Electrolux that I don't know anything about

    Thanks guys..... yeah I'm really grateful for the help! I love having people to share the hobby with! I've started polishing half the machine and it's looking great but my hands and fingernails are black! I think I'm going to have to get the dremel out because I can't quite get it shiny...

    Electrolux that I don't know anything about

    Thanks Alex, I'll wait to look for attachments on Ebay until you tell me if you find anything in your stash. I think it's time to break out the mothers and steel wool and give this baby the shine it so richly deserves. I was waiting to clean it up until I found it if it worked and if I was...

    Kenmore Elite: What a Beast!

    Wow, what a walk through memory lane! I sold the two on the right at Sears, I own the one in the middle, and I want the two on the left LOL I thought the same thing about the Intelliclean model... it's just a huge hunk of plastic! However, I do love it.... the performance, variable power, and...

    Hoover Celebrity QS

    I have had that machine since I was 19! It is very powerful! I got 2 of the attachments with mine, I think the bare floor tool and the crevice tool... it's not the most durable thing in the world, but it is powerful and beautiful. When I got mine, the cord winder didn't work, and the plastic...

    Electrolux that I don't know anything about

    Alex, I will read it with great interest.... when I looked for it earlier, it was on my phone at work and I just didn't have time! It was easy to find though... thanks for your help and advice!

    Electrolux that I don't know anything about

    By the way, my friend got this from one of his friends whose parents recently died and they were clearing out the estate... the friend said that the parents, when they bought this, were a young just starting a family, a new minister and a stay at home mom so they didn't have much money and...
