Q:Hi there - I've been given an OLD Elextrolux vacuum cleaner (a canister one) that seems to have lost some suction...and I'm wondering if it would be worth it to get it fixed? I do realize this is more of an opinion question...My main concern is not spending as much $$ to get this vacuum fixed as it would to buy a new vacuum! Thanks.

Most probably,it depends if you can get the parts,i would buy a new one and you could sell the old one to a collector of antique vacuum cleaners You have had a blo*dey good run out of it 50 years

Q:how many watts does a vacuum normally use?

If you mean a vacuum cleaner, it depends on model and manufacturer. I would doubt that most domestic ones use more than 750 watts, though. But there should be a nameplate with that information on it. Now, industrial vacuum cleaners can be a bit bigger and use more power - like hundreds of horsepower.

Q:Currently I use a Bissell power force. It does work well but does not pick up all hair. I know I cant complain due to the fact is was under $50. Also it is very hard to push due to have to have it on a low setting to pick up the best. Thanks in advance.

The Shark Navigator is a small, compact vacuum with features and capabilities similar to that of its full sized and more expensive counterparts. It is by no means a replacement for a Dyson or a Miele, however, at only $140.00, it is a good compromise between more expensive, more powerful units, and cheap vacuums that don't work at all. In our tests, the Navigator did a very good job of picking up pet hair. Consumers also report having a good experience with the Navigator removing pet hair. Shark has also just released the Navigator Lift-Away, which combines an upright vacuum and a canister into one neatly packaged vacuum cleaner. We are currently reviewing the Lift-Away and will have it posted soon. One final note, we have found that bagless vacuums are far superior to bagged vacuums when it comes to pet odor control. We’ve tested Oreck bagged vacuums with special odor control features and very expensive Miele pet vacuums with special odor inhibiting filters, and none of them really work. The only vacuums we’ve found that don’t have pet odor problems are bagless vacuums you can empty regularly, with washable filters that you can wash as often as necessary to control odors.

Q:anyone own a kenmore progressive vacuum cleaner!? I am in the market for a really great vacuum, at a resonable price, (unlike dyson's)! i have read good and bad reviews on the progressive! I have a black lab and I need a great vaccum to get up all that dog hair! Please let me know what you think and also what kind of progressive you have! THANK YOU!

I wouldn't recommend most of today's commercial brand of vacuum cleaners as they're all mostly junk made in Mexico, China, etc. I would recommend a Sebo cleaner- I got one after my Hoover died on my after only 1 year of ownership. I have a Labrador too, along with two kitties and need a dependable vacuum. I bought my Hoover for almost $200 and the Sebo's go for $250-300, not a lot more but they work so much better and have a lifetime warranty and a 30 year on the belt alone! They are German engineered and built.

Q:He chases lawnmowers, but when the vacuum is on, he runs for it.

Vacuums are spawns of Satan.

Q:My dog likes vacuum cleaners. Whenever I vacuum, he comes over and tries to chew on it. He doesn't really care that its a very strong one either. He doesn't even mind people vacuuming him on the back! He just sits there like he's being brushed. Anyone else have a vacuum loving dog?

no my grandmas wolf/german shepard was terrified but my dogs could care less

Q:best vacuum cleaners?

My fav is a brand called Simplicity. They cater to commercial users but it's a great vacuum for home use as well. Mine is an upright. They are made in the USA, which I think is an excellent additional aspect to their quality. It's nice to buy something made by American workers.

Q:Can anyone/everyone help me in knowing what to buy as far as vacuum cleaners go?? I am in desperate need to replace the piece of crap that I currently have and are having a heck of a time doing it, for there are oh I don't know millions of them!!! I have a cat, 2 adults 3 kids so I definitely live in a High Traffic Household. Also I need one that comes with a hose (not just the floor sucking kind) and lots of attachments cause I like to go against the wall where the kids get dirt in the corners and the cat gets cat litter. I need as much feedback as I can get as to what I can buy. I would LOVE a Dyson, but I don't have a $1000.00 to spend and more like $200.00 (or less). PLEASE HELP!!!

I went onto customer comments and did a sprint prognosis. I certainly have pets so i replace into incredibly searching for something that would get each and all the puppy hair up, fee replace into no longer a factor for me. decrease than their suggestion of customer superb purchase, i offered a Eureka at Walmart no much less for around $one hundred twenty.00, and that i like it!! it incredibly is a 12 amp with a sealed hepa filter out, and each and all the attachments. I certainly have wood flooring and carpet and it does a great activity on the two. It has a change to transform to regardless of floor you're vacuuming on the time, and an adjustment for the peak of carpet. good success.

Q:are all motors the same size in kenmore canister vacuums?

I would think not. Look at the specs for vacuums you might be interested in and compare the amps or watts or whatever electrical spec is in vogue this year for vacuum cleaners.

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

Post an ad on craigslist, and once you get your first lead ask for referrals. I don't see why it's a scam, people sell vacuum cleaners.
