Canisters

My mom would always say people with uprights had dirty houses because they didn't have to tools at hand to stop and clean the couches and stairs etc... I grew up with only electrolux' she said they were the best compared to a rainbow or kirby, and everything else was for poor people haha.

You know what she was right, growing up uprights didn't have the convenience of onboard tools so all of my friends houses that had uprights were a whole lot dirtier than the ones with canisters. With all the onboard tools on most machines this is not really the case anymore. I love a lightweight effective upright for quick cleaning, but usually alway bust out a canister. When used right they won't get hung up on furniture or such.

When Kirby's are used right, you don't have to use canisters. No more tripping, no more pulling.

 

[cb123]

...And Oh yeah, NO MORE SWEARING!

canister

Canister all the way. My moms dyson dc33 is bulky and akward to use. I prefer my simplicity jack.

Alex,

I think you've violated one of Einstein's Laws of Relativity, regarding the positioning of the viewer to the object in motion. The definition would indeed be relative, and therefore anything's true definition would be amorphous. It would be a fluid construct viewed differently from each perspective along the canister/tank's path.

 

[super-sweeper]

I guess that's tomorrow's court case, Calem! 

 

[cb123]

Alex,

have you happen to check out that video?

 

[super-sweeper]

What tape was it you wanted me to rent, Calem? I don't know what video you speak of 

 

[cb123]

You didn't see it!

Wow! Alex, people just never know what they are missing. I put it in the Thread: That Is Not Right. Be careful when your watching it, it's explosive - don't want you to get hurt. You might lose an eye or something.

I Like Both

It all depends on what I'm cleaning. Upstairs, I have wood floors and area rugs, I really give the little Hoover S1361 a workout up there and it works fine.


 


Downstairs, I have heavy carpeting everywhere except the bath, so I use my Kirby Heritage II as a daily driver and my Kenmore Power Mate when I need to do corners and above the floor cleaning (which is often with my pups).

 

[super-sweeper]

Oh I saw that Calem, I think I get what you're trying to say when comparing the video to modern vacuums 

 

[cb123]

Alex,

it's horrible isn't it? All I can see is " cheap plastic EXPLOSIVE vacs " squeezing out of that poor ole soul's bulbous nose, but nevertheless, a most appropriate comparison.
