    Looking for a Canister

    My friend will be moving soon and I told her I’d pick out her vacuum. Although she gave me no specifications about what her house will look like, I have decided for her that she will use a bagged canister vacuum. I am going to the flea market soon and I’d like to see what is cheap there as she...

    You're Right!

    Sanitaires are not the type of vacuum cleaners you want to clean out a restaurant! I'm cleaning one of the Sanitaires at work and it is so gross! Look at all the GUNK I SCRAPED out of it. It leaves such and awful smell in the air too! But they are not going to listen, they think that this system...

    Water Filtration Vacuum

    I found a very cheap water filtration vacuum made by the company Kalorik at Home Depot today and it made me wonder if all water filtration vacuums are generally on the same level of cleaning, and if this $100 Kalorik was nearly as good as a sirena of rainbow (adjusting for the lack of a PN by...

    How good are you at reccomending a vacuum?

    I'd like to do scenarios again, but with more flexibility in the upright/canister column. I'm fine with trying to find something bagless or bagged, but canisters are much more versatile and more recommended

    How good are you at reccomending a vacuum?

    Maybe for scenario 2, they could get a Dyson DC33 multi floor and buy attachments off the internet for the dog hair. That would only be $200, and a little more for the pet hair attachments. Dyson isn't my favorite upright, but they are generally better when compared to standard walmart vacuums.

    How good are you at reccomending a vacuum?

    Scenario 5: if it's a dorm it shouldn't be that big at all. I'd get something like a certified refurbished Shark Rocket with a cord, or anything similar like those offered by Bissell or Dirt Devil, despite this vacuum being more like a stick-vac. Bonus round: a good cordless handvac could be...

    A Commercial/Home Vac

    Nevermind! I went to work today with a fixed CleanMax Pro-Series and I tried to loan them a sharp and kenmore twin fan heavy duty and they outright refused because this morning they went and bought themselves a dollied-up Bissell Powerforce with green paint! So I took one of the sanitaires with...

    A Commercial/Home Vac

    I need to get like three of them so that's why I never thought of something pricey, nor commercial. I wanted something that I knew I could find if I went somewhere like a flea market and I just fixed them up and gave it to them. I didn't think about straight suction either, but that doesn't...

    A Commercial/Home Vac

    I've been working in a busy restaurant for the past year as a busser/host/food runner/salad person/vacuum repair man for nearly a year now and their vacuums experience grueling, gross stuff- like whole french fries, apple sauce, whole napkins, straws, just a lot of gross crap. So these vacuums...

    Kirby omega needs help! Can you fix it?

    Where does it connect in the switch? There is three possible locations. If anyone can find a picture of a disassembled omega motor or can tell me what it connects to, that would be great. Please help, thanks

    Kirby omega needs help! Can you fix it?

    This wire in the picture popped out and I think it goes into the switch feature behind it but I am not sure if. Please help me, and can you let me know how to put the plastic white housing into the metal wall so it is flush to it? Thank you. Please check the pictures

    Have you ever gone without washing Dyson filter(s)?

    My aunt's DC25 She never cleans her filters and neither does her husband no matter how many times I explain it! They have 4 cats and a dog and the hair passes through the cyclones over time and make a huge hair ball on the filter! I went there tens times over the summer and had to clean their...

    1994 and up favorites!

    Hello, I would like to introduce a topic today relating to your favorite, 20 year old or less, vacuum cleaner! I know most people on here collect older models, but I just wanted to see some of the choices. State a reason on why you like the vacuum, maybe the year it came out, and a picture if...

    Kenmore Carpet Sprayer-?

    I have one myself My aunt had it for so many years. Mine looks like the same model yours is and mine is loud as heck. It didn't come with anything besides a hose so I have never tested it. I use it as an "experiment vacuum" were I test different ways of capturing the dirt inside the tank. I...

    Kenmore Carpet Sprayer-?

    Carpet Cleaner It was made in the 80's and 90's I believe. I have one just like it with out all of it's attachments. It has a water tank which holds the dirty water or dirt tank in place. The water pump is at the bottom of the water tank. It use to come with a carpet "power-mate" but that was...

    TTI and Oreck

    I still maintain the idea: The sales may have caused the bankruptcy, but why weren't they making sales? It still could be the vacuum models or maybe the Oreck's hoses and attachments. The 8lbs. design was great, but the fact that they never made improvements to the 8lbs. design could...

    TTI and Oreck

    My twisted and odd opinion: I believe that Oreck wasn't always the greatest brand to begin with. Every Oreck I have had or worked on is completely ruined! Those people who somehow had an Oreck since they have come out is quite rare without the Oreck have broken fans and huge gashes in the bag...

    NICE KIRBYS !

    Not to pry... If you were going to sell the 84 Heritage, without reconditioning inside and out, just giving it a bag cleaning, how much would you sell it for? I don't want it, I know some who is selling a 84 Heritage with a disposable. Thanks.

    Kenmore Lifestyle

    Very interesting Vac! But what the heck is it? An Upright that folds down into a handheld is what I think. Does anyone have one?
