The owner of Allen County Sweeper is no longer with us. The vintage vacs have been spared from the dumpster. Unfortunately the vast bone yard of the facility has been junked. Dale's brother Dwayne can be reached at 260-824-4020 for date and time of availability. Dwayne does not know exactly...

Clean better... can mean absolute most removal of dirt/debris, or it can mean most removed for time/energy spent. The original Hoover Junior is hard to beat for most dirt removed for least effort expended and least energy consumed

Aerus most empahtically does NOT do R&D... I was the branch manager of the Electrolux branch in Ft. Wayne, IN from 1998 to 2002. I was there for the demise of the Electrolux name. I am the only person ever in the company history to address the engineering team, at the behest of James McCain...

Cool! If the suction motor is 10.8 when added to the draw of the p/n motor, does that mean you have to be careful of where you plug it in to keep a breaker from tripping?

The duct hose... on the Dial-a-matic is small in diameter for its purpose

Does the Royal use... Vacu-Flo proprietary inlets, which differ from industry standard?  If you have standard inlets you can get a 10 foot electric hose extension from MD. I am also pretty sure you could order an electric 40 foot hose. Or you could look into a Hose Doc-It that stores 55 ft of...

A separater based water filtration cleaner.. Has a dish like projection with flat bottom and parallel slits cut all the way around its circumference. The suction inlet pushes the water in the tank away from the inlet, and the spinning dish keeps the water out of the motor while the slits allow...

Another... A Hoover Dial-A-Matic with a proper diameter duct hose and a Celebrity motor for suction, a P/N motor to drive the agitator, and Windtunnel design in the nozzle.

First question.. Is the Gisowatt a separator based machine? If not, the Rainbow, or any separator machine is unlikely to provide any clues.

As proof... that extraction type shampoos should not be used in the Kirby shampooer, Kirby now makes a solution for extraction type machines.

Mark.. I was referring to interchangeable brush rolls, from the side without using any tools, like the Sebo, Windsor, some Lindhaus, and the new Hoover Insight and Profile.

It looks like... they put a bag in a bagless design. What is the bag capacity?

This is fun! Let's have more participation guys!

What is the obsession with metal attachments? A rug tool, a bare floor brush, fine. Metal wands for the floor tools, fine, but for dusting, upholstery, and crevice tools and the wands to reach with them, plastic is lighter, also you do not risk damaging walls and furniture nearly as much with...

and have it manufactured, what would it be? It can be any combination of features from any vacuum cleaners that were actually built and sold. It has to be reasonable and doable, even to include a new mold for a housing, or some change like that. You may post more than once.   Mine would be...

part of the stipulation... on the tune ups is that they be done every year for the life of the agreement.  Warranty claims may have to be accompanied by proof of annual tune ups if the factory requests it.

Miele has used the independent vac shops in.. North America to build their reputation. Now that they are becoming well-known enough for Big Box Retailers to want them in their lineup, you can see the handwriting on the wall.  Like Sharp, and Panasonic, and Oreck, Miele will throw the...

Gsheen... You have Mieles in WAL-MART IN SA?  Just a matter of time before it is here, too.  

Every. Time. You, Wet, A Carpet... you compromise the structural glue that binds the backings together. You would not want to vacuum up the Host in the Rainbow. A Sanitaire, or a Royal upright would do nicely.  Rent the Host machine, or buy an Orbiter so you will always have it on hand.  

We (three stores) are Oreck dealers.. The Magnesium is not as popular with dealers or with customers as the other machines like the Platinum and the Gold. It neither looks nor feels substantial, and it weighs a mere two pounds less than the gold.  Oreck would not dare put the Gold or the Pilot...
