Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Were debating whether to carry built in systems. It is not our expertise but we are being asked if we carry them. Soooo what would be your choice of ONE brand to carry if you did and what would be you "go to model" for a recommendation. We have noticed that people who come in and say they HATE their system usually have the "builders cheepo special" and the ones who like their system have the most expensive ones. Sorry this post doesn't have anything to do with Dyson? LOL

It’s illegal in Canada too but I believe it varies from district to district.  Biggest problem is you’re dumping carpet fibre and solids directly into your cities sewer system which goes against most bylaws. I know the guys who clean carpets with truck mount units have to dump their water at special facilities where solids can be screened out before hitting the sewers.

Thanks Dusty.  I was wondering what the real deal on this was.  We have or had a ban on garbage disposers in New York City.  Why?  Because the unions were afraid that sanitation workers might be put out of work.

I wasn't aware of that, no mention is made of that on the US DrainVac dealer websites either.   Makes me wonder what the intentions are, $#%* is theoretically OK for the sewer system (not to mention all of the chemicals dumped in there from various sources) but carpet fibers aren't?!  Ridiculous to say the least. 

And what about the people that regularly dump their Rainbows and carpet extractor recovery tanks down the toilet? 

Ordinances can't (and won't) control everything...

Hi Venson,

I heard about the garbage disposer ban there a while back (didn't it take effect around 1997 or so?), but I also heard recently that it was supposedly lifted and now they are allowed back in the state?  Can anyone else from the area confirm this?

In my opinion, M.D., Cyclovac, or Vacuflo.  Cyclovac makes various other brands like Riccar/Simplicity, Star Power, and a few others.  I personally have the largest of the Riccar units and love it, by far one of the best units on the market.

Lucky,

LOL?  When I tell folks I participate on a vacuum cleaner forum, most laugh.  When I tell them of Dyson and how his inventions made him one of England’s richest men, they stop laughing.        DIB

I guess I mistakenly gave you more credit than you deserved or you are just feigning Innocence in not knowing that your constant debating of Dyson keeps it in the forefront of this forum. Don't I feel like a fool thinking all along YOU were in control of this board and baiting everyone to your Dyson agenda. I hope you really do know what you are doing, I would have more respect...even the hijacking of this thread I thought was pretty cool. You can reply and keep your product alive for another post but I'm done.

I'm very apreciative for the other posts and welcome more suggestions or details!
Thanks
Lucky

Lucky1,

Please understand that DIB is sold hook line and sinker on James and his inventions,He has looked up to J.D, as some sort of prophet here to save the world from ordinary or conventional vacuum cleaners.

Im sure if dyson made a central vacuum system,his post would of been different.

By all means you being one of us,dont abandon the forum ,were here to help you make it .Sure it can get real nasty but these guys are very passionate about the realitys and falseitys of this business.

This is the best vacuum site in the country and the world....................

Hi MH,

I don't mean to divert the thread but as we're on the subject -- following is an old article about the drop of the ban on disposers.  http://cooperator.com/articles/191/1/Garbage-Disposers/Page1.html

By the way whatever happened to the trash compactor?

Mole and Lucky,

You two have in the past, openly discussed and celebrated how to nail Dyson’s to the floor and this was my real motivation and not so much Lucky’s small Dyson dig/bait.  I simply took Lucky’s dig/bait and responded to this (highlighted only) with a short 2-3 sentence reply and you all act surprised?          DIB

 

P.S.  Lucky, I liked your question/thread and learned from the responses.
