Dan:Now I wished I had a D80 that was new or rebuilt.Guess would have to keep it in the case so it wouldn't get exposed to light and sunlight and cause fading.
For the Powercast-the cleaning company out here that used them breifly complained the bags filled quickly.I feel a Filtrete type bag should have been designed for the Powercast.I leave my shoes at the door-but it still amazing how mush dirt you still bring in-your clothes and body.Like a pet-such as a dog or cat you also shed body hair and skin flakes.You especially see this when you vacuum your favorate chair or bed with a vacuum equipped with the dirtmeter!The Powercast was one of the only few clean air uprights that could work well.For the most part,like the Royal metal direct air uprights and Kirbys better.Maybe if Royal equipped the Powercast to use the "B" bags that would be an improvement.Did like how you could connect the hose without disconnecting belts or removing the floor nozzle.The Powercast was one of the only clean air uprights that could really deep clean-hence the bag filling quickly.When using the Powercast-i feel like I am using a Certified Pile Lifter vacuum.Do you have one of those?Surprized you don't or is one on your "to get" list.Want one for myself.They are commercial machines-usually used by carpet cleaning services.They use it before damp cleaning a carpet-then again after the carpet has dried to refluff the nap and remove debris the carpet washer loosened.Pile lifter have two motors-one to trun the huge Drum like brushroll that reaches all the way to the carpet backing.Then it has a direct air motor to pick up the debris the brush stirs up.Impressive and beautiful machines.Present ones use a Royal direct air motor and an oversize "B" type bag.The brush is turned by a 1/3Hp 120V induction motor.In appearence the machine sort of looks like a polished chromed lawn mower.Someday I will get one of these.New,they cost about 2 grand.You order them from the Certified company.Online if you wish.You can also choose what type of brushroll you want.They offer a few choices depending on the carpet you are going to use it on.
