Q:I hate vacuum cleaners and my dad vacuums all of the time. Does anybody know of a silent vacuum cleaner?

All vacuums will have a fair bit of noise. There is no way to make a silent vacuum but there are ways to reduce it. My suggestion is that if you are noise aversive then you need to go down to Sears/BestBuy and try every vacuum they have yourself, don't rely on another person to tell you how loud a vacuum is. But as a general rule, the better quality the motor is and the less moving parts there are, the quieter the vacuum is. Also strong plastics, good quality construction, and tight fitting parts will also help in noise reduction. Over time cheap plastic bodies will start to rattle more as well as the screws that hold them. And duct tape does not fix everything, I’ve tried.

Q:I would like to use a Dyson floor tool with my central vacuum system. The system uses a hose with a 1 1/4diameter attachement port. Does anyone know what the inside diameter of a Dyson floor attachment tool is? Or if it will ft a standard vacuum hose?

Of course Jack from customer service wouldn't say Dyson accessories would fit other vacs. He wants you to buy a Dyson. Well, I have a shop vac and it has a 1 1/4 inch hose, but I cannot amazingly find a stiff bristle brush to go with a shop vac. So I am trying to see if this stiff bristle brush can be made to fit.

Q:My roommate is allergic to cats, and when I got my kitty I told her that if her allergies got too bad, I'd send him to live with my dad, but I do NOT want to do that and am trying to find a good vacuum for someone with allergies. I'm looking for something with a HEPA filter. Can be bagless or have bags. I'd really prefer an upright to a canister. Looking in the price range of $60-$200, but willing to hear suggestions for more expensive models. MUST HELP REDUCE ALLERGENS!!

Most bagless vacuum cleaners have HEPA filters. You should be able to just go to your local target/wallmart/sears and pick one out. Another thing you can do to help is buy an air purifier for your roommate's bedroom. Most styles are basically a fan that pulls air through a HEPA filter. It would do a lot of good because allergy symptoms are usually worst in the morning right after someone wakes up since the person has been laying down sleeping which makes them prone to congestion.

Q:Where can i get good deals on dirt devil vacuum cleaners and supplies?

You okorder It's the best vacuum cleaner OKorder store

Q:Okay its the commercial where the women are using these vacuum cleaners and when they are vacuuming its sqeaking. It sounds like a bunch of dog toys. I know this is confusing! I just want to know what brand and vacuum they are advertising for!

The dyson I easily have 5 childrens I easily have had it for 3 years and it in simple terms keeps on going for outdoors jobs i could recommend a brilliant moist dry vac Have a blessed day a helpful employer

Q:Ive got a dog biscuit stuck in it.. if i take those two little screws out will i be able to get it out? will it be easy too put back together? i hate taking things apart because sometimes they just don't want to go back together!

How far up is the biscuit? Can you fit a utensil (fork, knife) in there and break up the biscuit instead? Then you just tap it out, or vacuum it in.

Q:I should also add that I need a vacuum cleaner that has strong suction and is good for picking up cat hair.

I have a couple of Oreck vacuum cleaners. They have disposable bags. They are powerful and light weight. You need the Oreck hand vacuum that goes with the upright Oreck as there is no hose on the main unit. Oreck has a small vacuum with all the hose attachments and it also has a disposable bag. Very handy for doing stairs. I've had mine for about eight years with no problems at all.

Q:That's a pretty open question for venting isn't it?

Immigration and Nationalization.

Q:which upright is best out of the department store brands? (Oreck, bissell, dyson, eureka, etc?) Recommendations should be for less than $500.

My all time favorite was a canister type called Rainbow. It used water for the filter and far surpassed all other brands. I could pick up water too which was great for an emergency spot cleaning. The filter was reasonable ;-) and it's design far superior as no contaminants were redeposited in the air like others. I like bissel and eurika and any unit that has a good hose for reaching along the baseboards and drapes, good filtration and maneuverability.

Q:I just started working at Kirby as a salesmen and yeah I know every thinks it a scam and it probably is but I just want to know who I can sell it to. Does cleaning companies buy it? Or hotels or motels? Any answers are appreciated thanks

Odds are you won't be selling to hotels/motels hotel maids want something light vacuums some of the more common ones are either the Oreck or Windsor Versamatic the Kirby while an excellent vacuum costs more than an oreck it would be kind of cumbersome for a maids cart. Cleaning companies sometimes use older models due to cost i would stick with residential customers
