Regarding the Group and it's friendliness I didn't mention that we are a strict group. We don't allow negative behavior towards other members and have blocked violators. Actually, someone from here crossed the line with another member and got removed in their first few hours. It was...

I just wanted to invite anyone who is interested in sharing their pics, videos, and commentary to a new Facebook group open to anyone who has an interest. Don't let the title of the group discourage you, because it is for anyone who likes to clean things, and the equipment used to do so. There...

Eureka Powerline and Ridgid Buckethead (Emerson)

Ridgid WD1450 Wet Dry (Emerson)

I own an X-3 and a couple of the older Mighty Pro models. I have seen the newest RD at rental kiosks, and available on Amazon etc. It's more expensive than the X-3, and imho not built to the same standards at all. The RD company supposedly has changed their company philosophy, and is trying to...

Just bought a new bagged Bissell from Walmart. Video shows some initial use. I got this to use on dirty carpets because I'm tired of using my DC25 or Sanitaire SC899 or SC679 on peoples carpets. The last straw was when I asked a customer if any liquid or pet messes had been spilled in the last...

Workshop Brand Shop Vac's These used to be Emerson, who made the Ridgid, Craftsman, and maybe a few others and they are decent quality, but most models are pretty much identical to Ridgid so I don't know how they compare price wise. I followed them on Twitter and they seemed to be very...

Another thing to consider... A lot of professional rug cleaners (as a step in wet cleaning) turn the rug upside down on a clean smooth surface and vacuum from the back side. You want a vacuum that beats and vibrates the carpet to shake the dirt from the base off onto the floor. After carefully...

Another machine you might consider... I don't know how much you want to spend, but this is yet another small professional level floor scrubber that you can check out (and there are video's out there for it too). It's called the Powr-Scrub, and Powrflite sell it here...

tazcatsdad Bingo! I actually was kept awake for awhile trying to remember it. There are a few others makers of this type cleaner. The Italians seem to be one of the biggest sources of them for some reason.

Keep in mind though... I looked at the Clarke model before, along with another Italian model (the brand escapes me)and the Karcher. I talked to someone who had tried some of these professionally (the Clarke was the latest one he'd used. The thing about these machines is that they tend to break...

DJ Taylor Wide Track or Regular I like the wide one for empty spaces and large rooms, but the 12" models are more maneuverable in small rooms, especially with furniture. They are both very similar in performance from what I've seen.

If you like these vacuums, I just posted a new 20 min video of one in action. I hope you enjoy watching it. If you want to see the smaller SC679J I have videos with it on my channel. Just for your enjoyment, sorry if this seems spammy, but how else can we share videos but to post them up...

Thanks to parwaz786 and purpledefector I suspected that the filter may only work for a short while and that the pressure is popping the filter off at some point. This makes perfect sense! My other theory about the heat buildup contributing to it probably has no bearing. Thanks for the info, as...

Thanks matt8808 Kinda what I though the answer would be. I did wash the filter again thoroughly and used it for about twenty minutes and it stayed attached. But I'll have to see if running it longer, building up more heat, will cause it to pop off again. Perhaps I let it get a little too dirty...

My 5 year old well maintained DC25 has just started having an issue where the post motor filter (inside the ball) won't stay clipped in. I can't see any broken clips or any other cause for this. Ironically, a neighbor who has a DC25 said that hers does this as well, so she runs without the post...
