    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    Nozzle sealing to carpet "PN sealing to carpet? Isn't that a BAD thing? I thought by sealing it would cut off the airflow - similar to you putting your hand over the wand suction? Same with the hard floor brush - they cut out grooves in the brush so get airflow...Or am I wrong? LOL I dunno. "...

    Adding Fragrance to a Bagged Upright Vacuum

    Or, the outside You can also put some on the outside of the disposable bag around where the fill tibe blows into the bag. Same effect. I will also use the cotton ball/toilet paper square method, though I use a heavy dose of fragrance.

    The Lupe Cordless

    I will say I appreciate the commitment to repair and re-usability, especially the note about offering updated batteries as technology improves.  But, I am really not a cordless fan.  Avery advance in efficient motors can be translated to corded vacuums and be even better.

    Elux DIplomat Lx poor succion

    <blockquote> <a name="start_38539.409846"></a>Check the seal between the motor and the bag cage, it probably is out of position from when you repaired the switch.   </blockquote> I agree with this statement.  Check the motor seal.  Also make sure the hose isn't leaking assuming you are...

    Wessel Werk TK 286

    Your video, last time I checked, had links to their other (admittedly good) turbo nozzles.  Are they available yet?

    Kirby Sentria

    I'm always surprised to see Kirbys at Goodwill, but I often do.  Usually, the shine is completely gone.  I imagine they get stored in the garage a lot.  Suck nice machines.  Good find!  I got a Diamond Edition last weekend.  Just waiting to have it serviced.

    Wait...why were you dumping water after every room?

    I got a Filtropur! (Aeropur, FVS)

    broomvac I thought of a Hoover Z as well.  I suspect it keeps airflow much better considering the cone system, but I'm not sure if the motor is as strong as the Hoover Z.   It turns out that the rear left bracket for the back wheel had cracked and been repaired with two bolts and some...

    I got a Filtropur! (Aeropur, FVS)

    The attachments do appear to be standard.

    I got a Filtropur! (Aeropur, FVS)

    Suckolux:        It really isn't abnormally heavy actually!   Miskini:        It does have a unique look, that's for sure!  I paid under $150.  It's in such nice shape and has all the original attachments (and a new set of filters and a few cones).  Do you have a link to the demo...

    I got a Filtropur! (Aeropur, FVS)

    Water Lift I should probably clarify that the unit has a suction reliefe vaulve, so that is likely being triggered by sealing the system to measure water lift.

    I got a Filtropur! (Aeropur, FVS)

    I finally found one!   Very interesting machine.  The hose is well made and very flexible.  It also comes with a separate extension wand and a horse hair floor brush.  The dusting brush, upholstery tool, and crevice tool store on board.  It looks like the exhaust "Absolute" filter was never...

    Kirby vacuum noise

    My 7 amp Royal is pretty quiet all things considered.  It's a good option in case you can't find the right Kirby.

    Are there HEPA synthetic “cloth” bags for Tristars?

    You can also get genuine HEPA after filter. Wow, I thought no one made a HEPA bag for them!

    Bye Bye Royal metal vacuums

    I think it would be good if Kirby bought the rights, designs, etc. and produced them for the commercial market.   I'm glad that I bought the two for my parish when I did.  The cleaning crews are really liking them.

    The NEW Museum of Vacuums

    I'm a newer guy on this site, but I'll throw in my congratulations as well!  I wish your store and museum was near me in Oregon!  I'm not fully aware of the stuff going on at Tacony or your situation with them, but it sounds like you are off to a great new start!   So, how can we order...

    Filter Queen 70th Anniversary (112a, 7.6 Amps)

    rivstg1 I may have worded it funny, but there isn't charcoal batting, just an extra charcoal cone.  Three cones in total.   I actually think the silver and black model looks really good (one model behind the current).  I do want to get a 90th anniversary though.
