Daily driver?

[manchestervacs]

A DC14 from a batch of new ones we were selling a while back, and an iRobot Roomba. I also have the fan to match the blue DC14 and an Airblade in the downstairs bathroom in the Dyson family. I am musing on the idea of the 360 Dyson robot.

Current daily drivers...

Sebo Automatic X1.1 (we have an absolute heap of tools and the tote bag that goes with this too) and Miele C2 Powerline Cat & Dog

Here's a picture of the Vita-Vac I'm using.

I have a tote bag too Turbo500 to put my tools in too! I've only got the extension hose, small dusting brush plus the mini turbo head in my tote bag. I leave the deluxe parquet head out.

I've got the plastic extension tube, flat upholstery tool, extension hose, both dusting brushes, wall and floor brush and the mini turbo brush....and I hardly use any of them

The only uprights I've personally bought extra attachments for ever would be my Radiance,and I bought a set of tools that would fit any Tacony or Panasonic upright. I just have the standard on-board attachments with my X4 clear that I bought new. I did buy a dustin brush and handle-mounted clip for it for my Kenmore labeled Sebo X2 though, it didn't come with it when new. I don't know when, but at some point all the Sebo uprights in the US started coming standard with the dusting brush and the clip that holds it to the handle.

Just a few tools then!! I must admit I do use all mine at some point. I was thinking of getting the flat upholstery tool and the radiator brush but probably wouldn't use them!! I wouldn't mind getting the larger dusting brush though. That's why I'd be better off getting the X1.1 as I have most of the tools that you get with the X4 variants!!

I don't really have daily drivers

But, I use my Rainbow D4 and Filter Queen Majestic more than any of my other canisters. They don't smell, and dirty vacuums bother my mother's allergies.

I am having work done in my home at the moment, so its back to the Felix for all round carpet care and picking up dust that the builders are leaving behind.

Here's the vacuum I used today, I felt it's been too long since I enjoyed running this beast thru the house. It's one of the machines I most enjoy using, many memories and a real fascination with them since early chdhood makes it one of my all time favorites. Since my earliest memories of seeing one used at a Wal-Mart and a fabric store as well as at school Ive found these to be one of the machines that appeal to me more than most.

My daily driver

usually depends on whichever machine I decide to use! Lately, I've been using my Electroluxes, mostly the L and G. I'm also really liking my Eureka ESP upright, it has so much power! 


 


Ultralux88, I just remembered that my shop teacher in middle school (I think 7th grade?) had on older NSS Pig that he used to clean up the work area after school. I stayed after school a couple of times to vacuum the classroom for him with it! It sounded like a leaf blower, but it had a ton of suction and airflow! I think the choir teacher had a Pacific Steamex that she used to clean the choir and band room, too. It was an all-black tank with a black bag, looked just like the NSS.

Here is mine, currently.

Turbo500, my parents have that same purple rug, how does your X1.1 handle it? I have a recollection that their X4 does not like it...

 

[tolivac]

Another "Pig" lover!!Like that machine--it has the older style "Kidney Bean", "Horse Logo" bag.Still need to get the carpet tools for mine-have the matching NSS powernozzle and sometimes use My Pigs with my Kirbys.A Kirby salesman was quite impressed!

 

[turbo500]

Seanc, it's fine as long as you keep the cleaner moving. If you hold it still, the brushroll protection kicks in and shuts the machine down.

I very rarely use the upright on those rugs anyway. We have 3 of them and they shed quite a lot which fills the bag with carpet fluff. I tend to stick to using straight suction on them with an upright run over them every few months at the most.

 

[sebo_fan]

I have rugs like that too - they're light enough for me to shake outside.

 

[citroenbx]

the daily driver at nans is a dyson dc04 and at my mums is a 1300w dyson dc01

in my shed henry from 2008

 

[loganvac]

I use my Hoover Elite 200 as my daily driver, but I'm thinking of switching to my Sanitaire SC887 for the airflow and carpet agitation.

Kirby Heritage

Was my grandmothers Kirby that she and gramps purchased brand new back in 1981 after she used my parents that they bought new a few weeks prior. Right after I got my first apartment, she showed up at my door with it, stating that she knew I needed a good "vak-kum" for my new home. That was back in 1999 and I've been using it ever since. I keep it regularly serviced and maintained and it works like a dream. I couldn't dream of parting with it.

 

[alexhoovers94]

you use a Kirby everyday?

You must be energetic, lol, they are a bit bulky and inconvenient as a daily, for me at least, but they are fun to use.
