Q:Alright, we've lived in this apartment for a year and three months, and we're on our third vacuum cleaner. The first two were Eureka's, then we bought a cheap bissel this last time. I had been taking excellent care of my vacuums, right down to washing the dirt cups, filter and cleaning out the carpet brushes with every use. I couldn't figure out why we were going through them like we were, but everyone suggested that cat hair is clogging them and burning them up. The newest started acting up within two uses (and it's not a large apartment, and we have one cat who hardly sheds, and we clean on a regular basis. Anyways, I tore the stupid thing apart to find MOUNDS of cat hair clogged in it. There was at least enough to be the size of a softball in the hose. So, how the heck is this thing clogging so fast, and what can I do to prevent it? I can't be tearing the stupid thing apart after every use, I refuse to shave or get rid of the cat and I can't exactly just stop vacuuming. Help me please!

I used to have cats (now have dogs!) and my all time favorite vacuums for cats is the Fantom. Has a bin and no bag, you can see what is going in, is easy to clean after each and every use. The first time I used it, It filled up with so much cat hair (keep in mind I HAD a vacuum I had just replaced!) that I emptied it over 10X just vacuuming the dining room, which wasn't THAT big! I was stuptified! Seeing all that cat hair was really an eye opener! So I suggest finding a GOOD vacuum, not a cheapo one, and one that has the container that you can empty (I have seen others says they HATE them cause they are messy to empty, I do mine over the trash can outside into a box I pick up from like Sams Club. I have found stuff I didn't know was in there, jewelry, earrings, money, you name it). With a bag, you toss it, not knowing you threw it out! Plus with the canister, I can what is going in and if anything is going in or not. I know clog has happened, which RARELY happens, since I can see what is going in and how fast, I can adjust my speed or decrease it too! Hope this helps you! Good luck!

Q:Can anyone recommend an inexpensive vacuum for hardwood floors?

Dirt Devil Canister vac...or Shark

Q:can you recycle a vacuum cleaner?

yes you can and it would be a great help to your community bring them to a place that fixes vacuum cleaners and ask them if they will fix it and then donate it to a poor family how can they say no if they do say no.take the vacuum and bring it somewhere else and never recommend that guy for any service to anybody and be sure to let him know that.

Q:Preferbly cheap

Disney World or search it on OKorder.

Q:I need a vacuum cleaner that can clean pet messes such as urine, but also clean human messes such as rice vegetables and dirt, I don't want a too heavy vacuum it has to be pretty light but powerful and from 60 to a little over a 100 dollars, thank you :)

Dyson is the only good brand

Q:I know that 'commercial' refers to business applications, so I'm not looking for general information but details). Are the terms used in accordance with industry standards, or are they unique to each company? One company, Aerus LLC (formerly Electrolux Corporation), mentioned that the only differences between its commercial and household vacuum cleaners is that the former have less warranty protection, have longer cords, and do not feature above the floor attachments or headlights. Nothing was said about construction materials being different.

a commercial product may have some components that are made to last longer than a standard household product of the same type i.e. a vacuum................each manufacturer may have different definitions of comm'l vs std

Q:I've seen a lot of advertisements for Sears Cannister Vacuums on sale or on closeout recently.Are these vacuums any good, on an absolute level, and also for the money they cost?

I clean houses for a living and love it when the house I'm cleaning has a canister vac.I own one myself and wouldn't ever own an upright.

Q:Everytime I run it, it omits this foul odor?? My dad thinks it's normal, but he's a hillbilly. I KNOW it's not normal. I must know what it is.

Filters can be cleaned in the dish washer on normal cycle top rack only. Sprinkle baking soda on the filters after washing them dry. Stick one or two scented dryer sheets into the vac bag and on the bottom of it too. If you see smoke then the drive belt is going or if it smells like burning rubber then the brush and beat arm belt is going bad or stuck.

Q:Besides the price, are their any major differences between the two vacuum cleaners?

Only difference I see is the Animal comes with dry powder and spot spray cleaners. The technical specs are the exact same. I'd say save the $50 and get the Full Kit.

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
