    Holy Crap!

    The older power nozzle. Part of what caused me to be dismissive with Meile was looking at and hefting the little plastic power nozzle. I have turned on a few at Albert Lee the local Miele dealer and they seemed to float over the carpet. I was very surprised and continue to be amazed at the...

    Arianne I bought an American Hoover that looks like the Arianne. It is orange and has a turbo carpet attachment as well a bare floor, dust and upholstery brush. It uses paper dust bags and it had a Sanyo bag in it when I bought it at the Re-Cycle store for $45.00. It was supposed to work, but...

    Holy Crap!

    Carpet I ordered the carpet from a jobber who works for our company, sight unseen. I told him I wanted frieze in a tweed. This is more like a cultured shag or over the top plush in a warm butterscotch. It feels marvelous when its freshly vacuumed and walking with bare feet. It is just a year...

    Savvy?

    A sucker born every minute I like to vacuum and enjoy comparing all the brands. I'm most comfortable with a canister but it seemed to me the power nozzle has a tendency to float. I have tried balancing a sack of flour on the nozzle and it seemed to me it picked up the nap a bit more. In 2002...
