What are your views on Vax? Does that one have a BR? You seem to only be using it for hard floors. | ||

Straight Suction Comparo It would be interesting to test my Tristar CXL w/ Power Nozzle (VG I brushroll) with my Compact Electra straight suction vacuum. Maybe that's what I'll do! Using the Compact rug nozzle will provide quite the workout too! | ||

I remember Now
The one Big Lots had was a Bosch,I can't remember who had the Siemens,Walmart & Best Buy had the DD and sears had the two Vax versions.I was tempted to buy one of them but they were Bagless, I dont like bagless much so I wouldn't spend that much on one.The only Bagless I spent money on was the lift-off and it was a decnt vacuum for a bagless but it still wasn't worth the 220.00 I spent.

How's everyone doing so far? Surviving the single vacuum restriction? I'm not doing so well......I want to use the Conquest SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD! I just have to survive 8 more days........ I just keep telling myself "One more week......you can make it!" | ||

I have been surviving using only one vac, it helps that I am in the midst of relocating my collection so they are all packed in my trunk | ||

Well
Im having a heck of a time trying to only use one vacuum lol. The royal that im using had a broken speed selector wich I knew but figured It would do untill I got one, but it cuts out so Im going to have to get one sooon.I have to tap on it to get it going again. The bag is also filling quickly only 7 more days to go though. Kenny | ||

Man.......it's been 11 days and I'm about to lose it! I'm just not a one-vacuum kind of guy..... Anyone else for calling it quits on Saturday? I have too many new and spiffy machines that are BEGGING to be used to make it all the way until next Tuesday! | ||

Saturday works for me. My Concept bag is REALLY full and I doubt it'll make it to Tuesday. | ||

Full bags... Yeah, I just finished vacuuming with the Singer and that bag is stuffed! It's not full yet, but it's pretty clogged up! It's puffing up pretty hard.....admittedly I'd normally have changed the bag by now... | ||

Fuzz... The Singer actually got up quite a lot of carpet fuzz. It seems to do a decent job fluffing the nap, and it picked up a lot of fur from Sophie shedding! Now let's push the fluff aside and get a look at the DIRT it picked up shall we?

Dyson Results Now this is impressive. I was NOT expecting a Dyson of all vacuums to really pick up all that much. I really got the vacuum because I thought it was pretty and I wanted to see what all the hype was about..... Well it seems to do a good job!

To make things interesting... And to make up for not having used any other machines other than a boring Singer for 2 weeks, I decided to chase the Dyson with the Royal Tank...

and of course just because he was present and curious what I was doing cutting a vacuum bag open on the kitchen floor, the guy who is responsible for most of the dirt, Jasper.

Well, I just finished the test myself. I'm REALLY tired of lugging that big, heavy Concept 2 up and down the stairs. I vacuumed the house 1 last time, then I took the bag outside, cut it open, and THIS is what I found. | ||

So here is what mt tradition got out orf my carpet. I used my legend II bag setup, and the tradition only has a 2-row brushroll with soft brisstles. BUT i think it did a pretty good job.
