Thanks for the full review!

Nice video. This is the best vacuum I’ve ever owned

So how do you put on the the hose to get started

I have two rainbow D2 vacuums. The water filtration concept is neat,but water does not filter well and these machines put a lot of the dust back into the air. And yes,I change my water very frequently and am not vacuuming talcum powder or fireplace ash. Water is a poor filtration medium. When Rainbow went to their first plastic models,the D3A and D3C models,they made the huge mistake of venting the exhaust into a clear dome with an inner plastic cylinder covering the motor that had a pattern on it. The dome would quickly become fogged up with all the dust that got past the water and into the motor and dome. Rainbow abandoned that design and changed the way the motor exhausted so the dust just escaped through the exhaust vents and never went into the dome. Rainbow vacuums were always rated the worst at filtration by consumer reports until the slapped a hepa filter over the exhaust,which not only is an admission to how poor water filtration works,but also defeats the one advantage of water filtration..no suction loss.

Love your videos! I’ve got a question, as a European I’ve always been fascinated by the Elite/Legacy line of uprights. Would you be able to borrow one from someone to put it through its paces? The difference between the 5, 7 and 12 amp versions might be especially interesting and I’d love to see Mrs. Vaclab’s opinion. I know it’s got a mixed reputation in the vacuum cleaner community and would love to see the objective raw number for it as it forms the stepping stone between the old Hoover convertible and modern clean-air uprights, with the different motors literally forming several steps, slowly climbing from the low wattage of the olden days to the high wattage motors of today.

I wouldn’t recommend this vacuum as it broke within 2 uses of having it. The part that clips the handle to the piece that carries the bag completely broke after just 2 light uses in my car 😢 a nice but not good quality product

Thank you!!! Husband and I watched the video and fixed ours.

I Take g4

hey vaclab I suggest a shop vac all around easy rewiew

There also a encore supreme version of this same color red

I sell new and refurbished Dysons and often have 20+ clip in style battery’s that fit the outsize, have you every done one of your township hall cleaning with one of those? The xl motor bar seems like it will do decent.

Yet another device you have to connect to the Internet. That being said, it's interesting. I'm glad it has a recovery system for dirty water but I would love to see a two in one like this have a wet and dry vac motor to quickly extract all dirty water off of the mop roller. That being said, I think I will stick with my Rainbow with its various wet cleaning attachments.

I was really excited when I saw this video pop up, I just got the Eufy X10 pro Omni and it’s amazing, do you plan to use this regularly or do you use your yeedi’s regularly? And can you compare this to your yeedi mop station?

I wold love to have one for one of my Kirbys if only for the novelty of it! I have plenty of dedicated sanders and the ergonomics of those machines is vetter than something attached to a vacuum cleaner hose, but this is cool just because of how absurd it is ,like the Handi Butler.

What happens if I put the post motor filter in water?

Congrats 🎉🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤😮😮😮

Same suction that a cheap upright vacuum would have

Can you show how to motor wash a cleanview 1831 it’s very loud and has a slight rattle sound why is that?

Thank you. I will try to find the circuit breaker.

Help! Bought an e-series last week and set up the power brush and it doesn’t want to stay on. The red light comes on and when I push the reset button, I have to hold it in a certain level and it will go for a small amount of time. I have cleaned the attachment. Replaced the belt. Looked at the reset switch. No loose wires. Do you have any suggestions.

I've a Tristar cxl 50th anniversary edition vacuum like what you have and it does a great job

I just want to drop a line to thank you for these video's. You got me though 2 full 100 percent correct D50 restorations with ease and I have an extremely nice original D80 from a collector on the way that will probably need a fresh bearing lube plus a light polish. Thank you for making my wallet lighter as I really needed that D80 like a hole in the head but visions of your green beauty was haunting me forever until I finally scored a good one last week. I do like my new 1990 and up Kirby's as workhorses but these older ones are just great and fun to own.

I will take the 8850 any day and every day

You can’t wash the cyclones it will ruin them and this from a former worker of dyson

is it still working?

Doesn't the Hoover SmartWash Plus Automatic have a sprayer that's used for spot cleaning?

I got mine at super k mart center

btw quick recommendation whole house cleaning with rainbow e series 1 speed with original tools not the newer ones. if you cant get the orininal power nozzle use the pn2-E

XD

Does anyone know if Hoover makes carpet shampoos for this item instead of the regular solution for their cleaning machines ? Also, can other floor cleaning solutions be used with this machine?

I certainly thought the Miele motor wouldn't be made of plastic... they sure don't make them like they used to

Oh Noooo!! I just ordered this vacuum off of Ebay cause I got a good deal on it but I didn't realize it doesn't have a roller brush for vacuuming carpeted floors. That's the main reason I bought it is to keep in my bedroom which is all carpet. UGH ! Now what am I gonna do with it? Why make a vacuum that doesn't work on carpets that's so stupid. Oversized dust buster really. 🙄

Vaclab i gotta rare dirt devil bagless dynamite plus my friend who is a barber give it to me

Mine is doing the same exact thing! Less than 3 months old. 😡😡😡

Congratulations, young man good job!

🎉felisidades.

What type of motor that is and amp

Does your church still have this vaccum today ?

Both. They’re BOTH “Made In China.”

🦖 1:50

Do you have any videos comparing any Kirby and a Miele? obviously a Kirby beats a Miele but what is your insight?

I need some bearings for a black and Decker, pmbb 71749z do you know where I could get some? Thank you..

So that's why the Mr. Mom vacuum moved on its own...

I think my friend has the same issue. They say that it "screams"

Hoover Convertible for the win. Its just better in every single way. Sound, quietness, build, and performance

Do you sell any of your refurbs?

I have a similar Bissell I just got for free and tore it down, it also has awful bearings. Have you seen a Bissell motor that's even less serviceable than the one in this video? The fan housing seems rolled over the edge, and the brushes seem permanently wired to the field (eg the coil wire is crimped into the brush connector). Maybe I'm missing something though, was there a connector for the brushes that was easily removed?
