/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Oh wow, I know someone who has a vacuum collection and posts youtube videos of him cleaning with them...

He is also retarded.

This is what I think of when I read your post.

Well, lets see. I have a Job where I am my own boss, Sit back and relax while I make 6 Figures a year. Yea, I must be a Retard for even responding to your post. Get a job Newfag.

>I likes de vacuums, dey suc me good

Judging by the replies to this very successful thread, I'm judging nobody really gives a shit.

Yeah I'm a famous musician that writes one song a week and makes 12 figures a year. Shits cash. Not bragging though, I've always wanted to sell cleaning and cleaning related accessories too.

Ohh, A famous Musician huh? Prove it. This is 4chan douchebag, everybody says theyre better this better that..Put something up.

Is it nice owning your own business, you know, being self-propelled? Or does it suck? Is it still just a business to you, or have you developed attachments? How did you bag a your own shop? Something something HEPA filter.

Yeah, I was joking because you were busy trying to justify your 6 figure lazy job when I don't even really care.

What's your favorite vacuum cleaner.

Did you ever meet or oreck guy?

What about the dyson guy?

Whats the strangest thing youve ever pull out of a vacuum?

>>201190

A Henry

No

We had a fling in the hotel toilets

Dyson's stool

If that photo is your store, I've definitely bought a vacuum from you.

>>201194

Manufacturers are pushing all sorts of plastic spaceship hoovers, but every professional cleaner I've met has said 'fuck that shit, buy a henry' except for one dude who swears by his ancient kirby because henrys get stuck in shag.

Did numatic conquer the world just by sticking a smiley face on a regular cleaner or are they really something special?

Hey OP, I have a question.

I'm on my 2nd used Eureka Whirlwind (allergyfag, love the filtration). Both Whirlwinds I've owned have chewed through belts like mad. The belt seems to naturally ride about hanging partway off of the motor shaft, and then if anything jams the beater bar, the shaft slips and burns right through the belt.

Is this common, or have both of my Whirlwinds just been broken in the same way?

please tell me more about vacuums OP

I used to stick my dick in a vacuum, but now my dick is too big for my old vacuum and I'm afraid new vacuums will rip my dick off. Please respond.

What the most common parts related failure you see?

We have two Gen 3 Kirbys. Quality vacuum cleaner, I must say.

Dyson: snake oil, or worth what they cost?

>>202388
For household use, my Dyson is the best thing I've ever bought. Very difficult to clog the thing, I've accidently sucked up pens and pencils and other crazy items.

The suction is wicked. Gets up pet hair without a special end.

I know they are expensive but considering how often we had to buy new vacuums the dyson has payed for itself in avoided replacement costs alone.

The stench of summer in this place is amazing.

Hey OP I run across quite a few vacuums as I run a small hauling business. I take peoples stuff to the dump, due clean outs, etc.

Would it be worth it for me to invest a bit in fixit stuff for vacuums or is it just more practical to toss them.

Case in point. I just got this one in. The owner bought a newer one. This one almost works but I think it needs a filter change or cleaning. Is it worth the time and money for it? I rarely get more than twenty bucks for them on Craigslist and try to peg my hourly rate to twenty bucks an hour as well.

If it becomes a huge project I would just toss them.

Thanks OP and ignore the idiots in DIY. We need better mods to start dumping some ban hammers.

My landlady hates Dyson. They claim this great warranty which was why she bought one.

Thing fucked up after one year and only shop in town that services them are these rude ass Koreans. Charge her twenty bucks even though it was under warranty and then it fucked up in another month.

Tbh, until these vacuum manufactures post their Airwatts specs, I wouldn't use one. cleaning power (Air Watts) = airflow (CFM) × suction (inches of water) / 8.5

Its been shown that dry vacs lose airflow, as the filters and bags clog (fyi, "filter-less" dysons have filters) within 3 minutes of use. So, unless a machine has a way of maintaining continuous airflow, its pointless.

BTW, I used to design bags and new EPA regulations make the holes so small in them, that bags typically clog to 10% of the original airflow of a clean bag within 30 seconds of use, as dust in the air clogs the bags.

Dyson owns all that shit, op owns a store full of shit, good job op. is your store in a 2nd or 3rd world country?

What do vacuum cleaners and sewing machines have in common?

Where I grew up there were like 4 local "vacuum and sewing machine repair" shops. I never could figure out the connection.

Except that vacuums and sewing machines both use belts.

>>202726
>>202726

They are both run by marginalized sections of society. In other words either Koreans that don't speak English too well but can comprehend a belt drive and can do it for five bucks an hour or a registered sex offender who's mommy and daddy gave them the money to start their own shop because they will never ever be able to get a job even making a cup of coffee anywhere ever again.

Are Hoovers any good?

I'd like to buy Hoover brand things, as my grandfather worked for Hoover his whole life, went all the way up the rank to MD. His house was always filled with Hoover branded bits and bobs (fancy pens, random awards etc) so I have a personal attachment to the brand, but as vaccums are they still any good?

>>201159

I need a high power/flowrate, variable voltage electric motor.

Where can I find this? Who are some good suppliers?

>>202556
In that situation thats not dysons fault. She should be pissed and angry at the koreans.
There are always 2 sides to a story. Perhaps the problem she had wasn't something that was covered by the warranty. If it was a problem that should have been covered and the koreans were an authorized servicer. Then she should call dyson direct and see if they filed a claim against it. If they are as rude as she states they very well may have dbl dipped which is a big no no dealing with warranty authorized repairs.

I deal with appliances and I would think it was similar. I know that on a warrantied unit we can either bill the mfg or the customer, but not both.

Are.... Filter Queens any good? Like the old brown plastic fuckers.

why is your shop not cleaner?

>>202837
>>202837

>Not dysons fault.

Advertise a superb product with a sterling warranty.

Buy said product because of this.

Fails within one year and calls Dyson. Dyson gives her the name of a shop which charges her.

Product fails again within one month.

MFW I think the people here have very low reading and comprehension skills.

We have Hoover Aquamaster Electronic (pic related) and it started to smell like burned electronics and RPM's fluctuate a little. Could be motor burning out? We do have ZELMER 619.5.EW (with water filter nonsense) and it doesn't have even 50% suction of old Hoover and it's full realy quickly. So can our Hoover be fixed?

Yoooo op.
I have great reason to beleive that old school electrolux are the best on the market. A real mans vacuum.
Prove me wrong.
Whats better and why.

>>202901
Sorry anon, but I did read the post clearly. Did you?
At what point did the poster state the land lady even called dyson? All the poster said was that the koreans were the only shop in town that serviced them. Also as I stated in my post, there is too much info unknown. There may have been a reason they charged her if she was misusing the unit. Also the cause for repeat failure could have been anything.

>>202726
They're the only consumer appliances smaller than refrigerators that are mostly mechanical and require regular service.

>>203089
How many of those can you TAKE to a shop for service? I can see your dumbass walking into a shop with a dryer in your hands, "I think it's out of drying fluid."

>>202837

Fun thing about warranties: Unless the manufacturer is in your town, you need to pay to ship their defective shit to them for repair. For something as large as a vacuum cleaner this is sufficiently impractical to ensure that the company doesn't have to honor many warranty claims.

The worst offenders are consumables that tell you to send the item back to the manufacturer for a full refund if you're not completely satisfied.

>$2 jumbo box of horrible cereal that gave you the shits
>costs $5 to ship to the manufacturer

>>203100
Never underestimate idiots. I once had a woman come in asking about service on her dishwasher. Spoke to get about some suggestions, then asked if she wanted to schedule a call. She said she had it with her. Great, lets go unload it. What color is your truck. "Oh no honey, its the mercedes convertible out front."

I dont know how she got it in there but it took 3 of us to get it out making sure not to scratch her kompressor mercedes. Lol

>>203133

It's actually illegal to transport an unstable load like that. We had the cops come and stop a guy who tried to drive off with a fridge perched on the edge of his trunk and strapped down through the windows.

>>203137
Around here they only care how far it sticks out from the trailer or bed of the truck. If too far you gotta tie a flag on to warn those following you.

You would be amazed at some of the loads we have seen leaving our parking lot.

Ins made us stop tying down loads for customers, now all we can do is load it and they are then resp for securing it. I have shook my head in disbelief at what ppl think secure means. One guy secured his load with fishing line. He said thats all he had.

>>203133

Ponies on a thread about vacuum cleaners all day.
Calls himself a Titan.
Calls everyone else idiots.
Can't read.
Can't comprehend.

Probably a registered sex offender that works on vacuum cleaners for less than minimum wage.

Trolling DIY is all he has in life.

>>203238

Working on vacuum cleaners gives a lot of us ways to turn our lives around!

How dare you pass judgement on me!

Hey man, what's the best vacuum to get if I want one that'll last me but won't throw dust fucking everywhere? Pref under $200

>>203313
1st off, this poster, aint me. Thanks anyhow. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Seems like we still have some tards from /b/ up in here. Against my better judgement to feed you, I just cant help myself at times.. lol

#1 - I dont pony anything.
#2 - Sorry I guess it helps to be a local to understand the intent behind the naming.
#3 - I didnt call everyone else an idiot. I said never underestimate idiots and then gave an example of what I was meaning. Perhaps if you took it personal that's a problem you should look into.
#4&5 - I read and comprehend just fine. I may not have the background of an Ivy league schooling, but I do alright in most situations.

Yes I troll /diy/ a lot. I have learned a lot from scroton, and others, and I hope I have helped a few ppl along the way as well.

In any case you have now been fed and will continue to grow like a good little /b/ tard troll.

Hoover futura 600 master race reporting in,

Why do you nametards always cause problems wherever you go?

It is an ANONYMOUS board do you know what that means?

First you feel the need to get credit for insulting users then expect to get your ego stroked too.

As for not being you who gibes a flying fuck. No one cares about your precious little 'moniker' and your need to defend it.

The person ruining threads is YOU and not /b/ tards.

Get a life.

What stock do you own?

Alright, I have a few questions.
I have a Eureka Whirlwind+ bagless vaccum in green. not sure the model. Works pretty darn good. Not as good as the bagless models, but I got tired of finding out stores stopped selling them.
Do the dysons really work better? I hear terrible shit about them all the time so I am very skeptical about it. One of my main complaints about this model is that the hardwood floors setting leaves something to be desired. The carpets is fine, it sucks like a pro, but beyond that.

I also have pet rabbits and they leave fur everywhere. I have considered the Dyson Pet model but I have been balking at the price.

>>203788
I have a dyson that I bought when I was single and had money to burn. Needless to say I love it. I love how it breaks down so much with little or no tools to clean, repair, or remove blockages.

It cleans very well. I am always amazed at how much crap it picks up from the carpet. Granted I dont use it for my hardwood floors, so I cant compare its cleaning ability there.

I too almost went with the pet version, but iirc the main difference was an attachment that let you clean the furniture a little better. So I didnt feel it justified the extra cost for the one attachment. They may have more differences now however.

>>203822
So it breaks down a bunch? That leaves something to be desired. I had mine fuck up really once recently, and that ended up being because it sucked up a pencil and I never noticed it in the tube.
Not sure if I wanna pay hundreds for something that breaks down often :/

>>203839
i think he meant it can be taken apart a bunch without tools, meaning you can get to the blockages without needed a screw driver etc.
correct me if I am wrong

love our dyson also, air is clean after you vacuum, cleans amazing, had it for 4 years so far no problems.

>>203839
>>203855
lol, sorry for confusing things. No it doesnt break down often, but it can be broken down/taken apart into its components pieces very easily.
I had a hoover before that was a pain if it got blocked or if I wanted to clean the hair and crap from the beater bar. On my dyson its super easy. I actually like taking it apart just to see how far I can take it apart.

I consider a vacuum cleaner like a little boy. I expect it to take abuse and shut up when I plug up its holes.

If they say anything about it I smack them and troll them into oblivion.

>>201159
>>201159

HEY OP..

in your opinion whats the best vacuum available?
also any opinions on cordless vacs?

ther are only two rooms in my house with carpet.and im getting tired of lugging around a vacuum just for those two rooms

What is this music guys problem?

>>204566
The poster about little boys aint me. Its some asshat from /b/ that is on a crusade against ppl who post using a name. Read some of the other posts up above. He thinks this like other boards should be totally anonymous.
What would the world be like without at least a few of these assholes.. oh well... lol

>>204582

But the name is identical. You expect us to take the time to sort through all that rubbish.

The thread mentioned that most people that work on vacuums have sex offenses in their past and then you make a post saying how little boys should have their holes plugged just like a vacuum cleaner?

I think maybe you got drunk and forgot you were name fagging. I suspect you are the real troll here.

All you have to do with your day is to troll the DIY board and insult people, play troll and name fag.
