Q:If so, what are they?

I okorder and do flex-pay; so they'll bill you 4-5 monthly payments instead of one huge chunk! It makes them really attainable!

Q:I read somewhere that the company that once manufactured the popular Model XXX canister Electrolux vacuum cleaners (1930s-1950s) is now called Aerus--which makes 'Aerus' or 'Lux' machines. However, I still see Electrolux vacuum cleaners sold in big box stores that look a lot different from the old Electrolux canisters that my Grandmas and aunts used years ago; though the vacuum cleaners on the Aerus website look similar to the old Electrolux ones.

Q:thee is so much talk about kirby vacuum cleaners ,are they that good?anyway i want to test one and looking for one to purchase onlinewhere can i look?

I've had my Kirby for 16yrs. It has never been re-built. Sure it's heavy and bulky but that's for a reason its a good vacuum. I don't know about the newer models but my G3 takes a licking and keeps on ticking.=)

Q:Hoover or Kenmore? I say Kenmore, because a gladiator would like greater quality. I have thought Kenmore would be a gladiator's best friend when it comes to vacuuming. I have thought that the guy would go for Kenmore Progressive canister vacuum cleaner to buy and use, instead of a Hoover vacuum cleaner that is made in China or Mexico, for quality reasons. I thought Kenmore would sound more gladiator-like than Hoover. Also because of performance and that a Kenmore would hold up better than any Hoover that is one the market. I would say gladiators in general prefer Kenmore over Hoover for quality, performance, reliability, and ease of use. Because of this. I do think it would be a minority of them that would prefer Hoover than Kenmore.

Yes , I think you are correct , a gladiator would prefer a Kenmore vacuum cleaner...........

Q:My Hoover Wind Tunnel canister vacuum cleaner, which I purchased less than two years ago, bit the dust. I took it in to the authorized Hoover repair shoppe, and it will cost more to fix the darn thing than what I paid for it (well over 230 bucks). I bought it because Consumer Reports recommended it. It worked great (when it worked) but I had to take it in to repair the latch which kept the head on the wand and that cost and now this. I read up on the internet and find all sorts of complaints about Hoover, that it is no longer the company that it used to be (since it sold out to Maytag). My question is, what is a great vacuum cleaner that will not break the bank and will last more than two years? I have a dog, four kids with a stay-at-home mother so it needs to be durable, powerful, non-dust emitting, etc. Thank you very much for your input, especially personal experience with what has worked for you. God bless.

I have several vacuum cleaners some cheaper, some $2000 +. My favorite of all is either my Ocean Blue canister or the Dyson DC21 canister. Both due a wonderful job! Furthermore, the Dyson cleans just as well and fluffs my carpet better than my Ocean Blue, Rainbow or Electrolux canisters. Happy Vacuuming!

Q:Since the Vacuum Cleaner was the staple household appliance for the 1950's housewife,and woman are still targeted as the wider market for vacuum sales e.g woman are used to advertise them. I am curious to know what this relationship says?It might seem to be a silly question, and perhaps my wording isnt correct, but it is something which interests me and I would appreciate honest answers.

Women hate vacuum cleaners but the vacuum cleaners are blase^

Q:I just moved into my first apartment and there is rug all throughout the house, I don't really know much about vacuum cleaners, but I need to get one, I want a good one but for less than $100, can someone please help me!!!

Make sure that it is a 12AMP. Don't buy anything smaller! Also, I prefer the bagless, costs less to use it in the long run! Go to an Appliance Repair shop, they have all kinds of Reconditioned(rebuilt) vacuums, and most of those have the same warranty as a new one!!!

Q:Will future vacuum cleaners have a small black hole to improve suction?

No, they'll have a large black hole to really improve suction.

Q:It is model 116. and is about 6 years old. The motor itself works, but will not turn on with the switch. Any ideas? What typically goes on these?Thanks.

Do you need to push a reset button that stopped the beater brush when it got clogged with something (like a sock)? { i e how do you know the motor works if the switch does not turn it (what it?) on. - Hence my idea.)

Q:How many of you have a vacuum cleaner that was made dirt cheap?

Mine was free, I found it in a garbage bin. It's a type of Hoover that looks like a flying saucer, fixed the plug which was broken and volia new free vacuum cleaner. Its taped all over but works really well. Acey Deecey
