Q:looking for parts for the power head or the power head with electic hose, vacuum model C-6 it is from the early 1970's

Try looking on OKorder under vintage vacuum cleaners

Q:I am looking to replace a vacuum cleaner. I have had several Hoover Windtunnels and just purchased and returned a Bissell Pet Vac. I have five dogs and three cats and have been going thru vacuum cleaners about every two years. I am considering spending a bit more money hoping to have a vacuum last longer and was looking into the Dyson. I hate to blindly spend that kind of money on something when all of the reviews are from people who haven't had theirs very long. I am looking for people who have had their Dyson 4 or more years and I am interested in the good, the bad and the ugly. I am looking into the DC07 animal and the DC17 absolute animal. Please only serious responses from owners who meet the above mention criteria.Thanks!!

Dyson...the BEST..

Q:That has good suction that is under $100? I assume the Dyson would be good but they are 220 and 270 dollars. I don't want one with weak suction.

Hi, okorder /... Hope this helps.

Q:I was thinking of getting one of those as seen on TV, I am an allergy sufferer and need the most efficient to get rid of the dust mites, bacteria etc..

We had a rainbow vacuum when I was a kid. I really liked it. It wasnt heavy, and the dirt stayed in the water, not back into the air like most vacuums today. It finally died after about 20 years of use. Good Luck finding a vacuum today to last that long. I havent used a rainbow in years, but it was a great vacuum. I would love to have one now, but just cant afford it. You should see if there are any places that will let you use it on a 7 day or 30 day trial. Just to see for yourself if it works well.

Q:My 2 year old Yorkie Terrier HATES vacuum cleaners. A couple of days ago I was vacuuming and noticed that Tom, my Yorkie, chipped his front tooth. The tooth is chipped almost right down to the gum. It doesn't seem to bother him, but I don't want my dog to be in any kind of pain. Should I take him to the vet? Even if it doesn't seem to bother him? And what will happen if they take the tooth out?

Thank you for the question. Yes, you should have that tooth checked on. Now, I want to address here your Yorkie and vaccuum's. This behavior needs corrected. I'm going to help you start with that. Get your vacuum out in the middle of the floor. Put your Yorkie on a collar and leash. Take him over (pick him up) if you have to, to the vacuum. Put him down next to it, let him sniff at it etc. If he should shy away from it, put him back near to it, at this point you could even have him sit by it. If he should try to move, gently (gently being the key word here) just nudge his throat area with 2 fingers, and make a tsking noise at the same time. What you are doing here by nudging him is telling him that moving away from the vacuum is unacceptable behavior. The tsk sound inturrupts his train of thought of moving away. Sit him back down near to the vacuum again, this may take a little while, but he'll catch on that this is what you want him to do. After you've accomplished this, keep him near to you again, and turn the vacuum on; the moment he goes to bark or bite at it, do that nudging motion to his throat and the tsk sound. Keep doing this until he stops. The thing to remember her is that you must make this correction to him the moment he does the behavior. You have to be exact in your timing. You are acting as his pack leader. You are telling him this behavior is not acceptable. Also, don't forget to take him on at least a 20 minute walk everyday. That means he walks. This will help him with some of his energy, as all dogs are made up of energy.

Q:*Is there

Dust cans and vacuum cleaners on reverse work well. The vacuum will be more powerful, so it's preferred, the only trouble is that in order to make sure you don't re-infect with more dust than before is to use a water based machine, such as a rainbow. I highly recommend that you DO NOT use typical filter/bag based machines with electronic equipment. Anyway, once you have your air-duster of choice, use an extended paperclip to reach into the vent and hold the fan still. Blow from one side, so that the air pressure forces the dust out the other side of the vent. Depending on the make of your laptop, it's often advantageous to simply take it apart for a good cleaning every 3 months or so.

Q:I have looked virtually everywhere and I cannot find an easy, cheap way to clean my desktop computer's insides. I have come to the conclusion that:1. 'Canned air' is expensive and toxic2. Vacuum cleaners will use static electricity to destroy computers3. Blowing on the components will add moisture to them and destroy them.Will a bicycle pump work?Please, I am getting desperate.

Here okorder / And just for the record, none of your three points are particularly accurate. Canned air can be expensive, but you can also get it dirt cheap if you look in the right places. It is only dangerous if you shoot it directly into your mouth (as the propellant replaces the oxygen if your lungs and you die). I've never even heard of a problem with vacuums generating static, and most tech kits include a small vacuum. And I've never seen document proof of moisture from breath destroying any computer component. Just make sure you power the system down before doing anything, and don't spit on it, and you should be fine.

Q:Hi I'm considering buying one as I have back problems and vacuuming is tough for me, but I'm not sure how effective they would be. If anyone has used one, please let me know, Thank you!

~~My mom has one and raves about it. My step dad even named it Suzette! My mom, who is anal about a clean house says it does better than she can as it goes under furniture, etc. She's made me want one now. Just not sure what my dogs would do to it??~~

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:Are there any top tips from preventing or removing dust from the inside of a pc???Couldnt see any specialist vacuum cleaners anywhere??

1 - Buy a can of compressed air. Take both sides off of your computer. Blow the dust out. 2 - I like to keep my computer on the desk (not under the desk / on the floor). It will not get dusty so fast that way. 3 - Of course, keep the area around your computer clean. Dust and vacuum. .
