Your video showed me how to remove the clip, so the cleaner head could be freed. I then found the pipe was totally blocked and after removing all that fluff, no surprise our Dyson worked again ! Thank you.

I thought kirbys where the best vacuum

Oldest trick in the book

The cut was just to make the video fit under a minute.

There's a cut in the video at 20 seconds and there goes your credibility

Thank you so much it worked for me :)

The reason why people are buying inexpensive vacuums because people do not have the money like they did back in the day to buy expensive machines and expensive doesn't always mean better because when you were using that shark it was basically doing the same thing that that require was doing only difference is one motor brush is plastic and the other one is made out of metal and I will always told that metal brush rolls have better agitation on carpets in the plastic cheap brush rollers that they make on the Hoovers and the sharks and the pistols that they're making today even the commercial sanitaire it's a good machine as well kind of inexpensive but it does the job as well of course when you get into commercial vacuums as you will know a lot of the uprights don't have in the commercial sanitaire upright vacuums usually don't come with tools on board so you got to get the Little mighty mite canister with the tools and things to do your crevices and furniture but the commercial sanitaire is a brand that I use in my home even today and absolutely love it I had a riccar vacuum but mine had a plastic roller it didn't have the metal or the wooden and it was okay but as they always say you get what you pay for so my vacuum was around $250 when I got it about 6 years ago it was the White model that had the holes built on to it but mine did not have the metal brush roller on it or the wooden brush roller it was like a plastic tight brush roller and have you ever did a demonstration on your channel with the rainbow home cleaning system and thank you for your expertise on floor care industry we greatly appreciate it we don't have a lot of vacuum shops here in Cincinnati like we used to used to be a whole bunch of them years ago but everybody that I'm retired or just closed up so when I see these on KZbin I get over excited and glad because there are new machines out that we may not know about buffers carpet cleaners air purifiers also I have a question just Miele still make vacuum cleaners cuz I always wanted to get the S7 upright vacuum but I think those also use those plastic brush rollers thank you and will continue to watch

How would you compare this to the proteam proforce 1500xp? Does the brush roll turn off to vacuum hard surfaces?

If only they were the same price. You’re comparing a Toyota tundra to a a does raptor

Well shoot, I'm sold. I need one now 😂

Must have an infestation in their house . Cant blame the vacuum.

My Kirby is better

Woof. Is he single? 😂

Never install carpet Too many better choices out there

Never thought vacuum demos would be a good niche. Good job.

If that riccar had a slighty larger brush pulley or a slightly smaller motor pulley it would work a bit better to really work out the debris in the carpet, as the debris came out much more at a certain point when the brush roller slowed down.

My favorite is " If they were any better , you'd pay tax on it"

I had a cap lid stuck in the nozzle I ran the water hose through it to push it out but red light still comes on belts and micro switch is fine sweeper picks up very well where else should I look? If hepa filter needs replaced would this cause the brushroller from spinning?

Fantastic video help. Somebody tossed a CLOGGED Zero-m bc it was a lil clogged. I really got an awesome $200 SHARK vac for FREEEE and ur tutorial helped me take it apart and unclog. Thank u thank u thank u!

riccar 8000 series for me

Thank you so much! I have a couple of different models, and Im looking forward to taking them apart to thoroughly clean them.

OMG, you’re amazing! It was difficult for me to find a video to address my issue but then I stumbled upon yours! I struggled with piece and that inner plastic piece fitting and then getting the whole thing in place and you made it so simple which then made it simple for me! Thank you, thank you! You were very thorough and clear w/great photos.

Since I have the Basic Riccar model, the R20E, can I swap the stock Wooden Brushroll for the metal Brushroll?

Nice comparison video. Thinking about the standard model, less bells and whistles..heard of PCB problems for the D and P models. My dealer sells all the r25 models, but it doesn't sell R30 or R40 tandem air units cause he got tired of the PCB issues with those models. Taconi and PCB board issues, not good.

very helpful video. My Miele broke after 20 years and I'm looking for a new vacuum. I like the standard but I need an upholstery tool. I'm surprised the S doesn't come with one.

Thank you so much!! Your tips helped me clear a very frustrating clog!!

Thank you ❤

Good video. But I can hardly hear the volume on it. You may want to redo it with the volume louder. I have an Oreck XL with the "VIN" tag missing on the back. Can you tell me what model it is based on these clues: 1...the bag is gray and white, saying "ORECK CELOC HYPOALLERGENIC FILTERING SYSTEM." The white brace on the bottom of the bag says "XL XTENDED LIFE" 2... the floor head is the "Square" type that says "XL ORECK" above the headlight 3... The handle is white saying "The Helping Hand" with "patent number D294, 988; 5, 016, 315" on the left side, and "Oreck" on the right side. Handle has a black two speed switch on it. 4... it has a wooden brush roll with red brushes. 5... it has a four amp motor (that is loud) 6... cord extending from the top of the handle is about 30 feet long 7... bottom of the floor head uses the tiny forward wheels located just behind the side brushes(which are on order) 8... what I could make out from what's left of the VIN tag is that it says "ORECK XL New Orleans XX123 U.S.A." Followed by "E5721"...Two "UL" logos…and "LISTED 296B." Thank you for your assistance. Hope this helps.

Is the blue brushroll OK on finished hardwood floors, or should one get the green brushroll? Thanks for your advice!

Magic button it is! Worked

thanks. this helped me unclog my wand.

I don't know how I missed this unbelievably obvious button

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just received this vacuum as a gift from a friend. She got it from someone’s family that passed away and knew nothing about the vacuum. She didn’t even know if it would work. I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t have suction. Then I saw the part that you were working on in this video ( I don’t know what it’s called) was loose. I spent almost an hour fighting with it trying to put it back on. The problem is the person who put it back on before me who owned the vacuum put it back on backwards. That’s probably why they weren’t using the vacuum cleaner. I found your video and put it on properly and it was so easy. Again, thank you so much.

What if mine doesn’t have thet

Thank you!! I pushed everything I could through the hose…putting it in backwards cleared it finally!!

The price difference between all 3 models would have been helpfull to know.

Thank you!

This was extremely helpful - thanks! Good thing I had a T8 Torx around.

Very good comparison... I had no clue the differences.... One thing I will say.... any upright vacuum like this that has a hose....it's very wise to get one of those vacuum cleaner extension hoses that comes with their own tools.. Talk about being able to clean anywhere and everywhere....as long as you can turn the brushroll off

I was able to remove the clog! Thanks so much for this helpful video!

Thank you!

Very helpful video. Didn't have a manual for my duo clean and just followed your diagnostics to find the clog.

Absolute lifesaver. Great tip for getting a clog (sock) out of the hose 👏🏼👏🏼

THANK YOU many times over. We thought it was broken after only 4 years.

Hi classic vacuum & everyone else. I need the wiring diagram for a Rugdoctor mighty pro X3 model MP-C3, with the 2 2 rocker switches in the main body as well as the white reset button, I can find diagrams with the rocker switches and the reset button in the handle but not in the main body, please help classic vac or anyone else please. Great video learned a lot thankyou.

Thiiisss!!!! Thank you!!!!

You are the man! I spent ten minutes trying to puzzle this piece in, spent another five searching and finally found your vide. Done in a minute. This is the best of what KZbin has to offer for fixing something. Whatever it is, someone has been there, done that, and taken the time to make a video of it.

Great easy instructions- thank you 🙏

worked perfectly!! thank you so much!

Excellent demonstration for those wondering about the differences between all these models. Unfortunately the red X7 without the BOOST feature is no longer available. But they may bring it back one of these days, I know it's still available up in Canada. If you still want a X7 without a BOOST feature, you may consider looking into the X8 instead.
