The Duros is made for Hoover by Sanyo in China. This machine is known to have some issues, most notably with the hose and wands. I personally would not recommend this machine. Your Bissell Butler with a good floor brush would be a much better choice than the Duros, and I am glad to hear you have found a brush that works with the machine. The Butler uses 1 3/8" attachments, so it might be possible to find a generic one instock at a local vacuum store if you needed one. A Miele or Lindhaus floor brush would work, but would have been more costly. |

I have one,Ive had it for 4or5 years and for the money its not to bad but there ARE issues, the hose needed tape before its first year at the canister end (I tink because its so short and not connected well) and its not to good on bare floors unless you have a good floor tool as it doesn't come with one. Also it kind of cumbersome and dosn't deep clean thick carpeting at all, the suction is great even when the bag is near full/full but the PN brushroll is sub-par the brushes wear quick also. Right now i just use the vac as a kick around for the unfinished part of the basment till it crokes lol.I would stick with the Bissell and Eureka as well,at least till you find something else you like. Hope this helps=) |
