Mytee impressive.

[Mikey P]

I found a box the size of a refrigerator on my porch today.

Inside was..

The Koblenz/Mytee has is going on. Other than the fact that it's messier to dump, Compared to the Sanitare it has a cast metal base, Pig tailed more pliable cord, no on off switch, just lower the handle, larger dirt cup, comfy knuckled rubber grip, more durable base plate release latch, Nylon lined handle screws and one extra AMP in the motor.


Round 5 of the BOSS seems complete but I'll hold back my comments on the Nanner Glide for now.

 

[Chris Muetterties]

What does the roll brush and dirt cup cost to replace ?

 

[Able 1]

I'm comming out with the "Able Glide" tomorrow.

I'll give you one to use too!

 

[Mikey P]

John is getting me a parts list on Monday.

 

[rhyde]

it's basically a Santaire knock off

 

[Mikey P]

Actually I think Hoover developed that design.

 

[rhyde]

actually, mike

the upright was developed by Eureka i belive ...they owned electrolux that makes ...Sanitare

 

[steve g]

mike first of all burn that yellow glide in the first pick, I think you should video the burning for making a mistake like that. the new vac looks great, the real question is how well does it vac,

how often are you guys changing the belts on your 887's I put on a new belt today and it was like the vacuum transformed itself, I couldn't believe how much better it was working.

 

[Mikey P]

Electrolux bought Eureka actually.


The Koblnez seems to work aver bit as well. How could it not?

 

[Harry Myers]

Still Mytee nice.

 

[Brad_Smith]

Recently got a 887. went through 2 belts quick. ordered a dozen.

the 887 seems like a toy compared to the conquest.

I like the light weight though.

Mike your new vac looks just like an 887.

 

[Mikey P]

Lots of bad rubber out there.

Make sure to buy Eureka brand belts.

 

[Lyman]

Everything except the bag looks like my 4-5 year old power flite iron sides.

 

[Vincent Feehan]

yes look like my Ironside from Powr flite, POs btw

 

[Mikey P]

Why is that Vince?

How do you professional cleaners get by with using a vacuum with no detailing tools?

Do you just leave the hair balls and roaches in the corners and along the baseboards?

Now, I realize that back in the day, before glides, you'd just suck them up with the wand, but do you just ignore them now, or stop and take you hose cuff off and do the crab walk around the room?

 

[Jimmy L]

Consumer's reports said the koblenz sucked.

 

[Scott S.]

i don't have all the money you guys do but my el cheapo bissle from wally has a tube that detaches to get in the corners and along the edges. it works well as long as the bag isn't over half full. 12 amps bagged, i change the bag about 2 times a week, thinking about going to next step up, which is bag less.

 

[TimP]

My PV 12 has the ole detail thing goin on, plus I use it for upholstery. However no matter how well you vacuum you still can't get it all and I have to use the ole hose cuff to suck up some stuff as I go.

However I'm interested in something that I don't have to buy bags for cause the PV12 bags are costing me a small fortune. However the machine doesn't have belts to go through and self adjusts so it makes things easy as far as maintenance.

 

[Mikey P]

a Blue Grout brush does wonders for base board lint.

 

[roro]

The Koblenz were great machines and very robust.


But...... they were also the noisiest vacs we ever had so can only hope they have insulation or you got earmuffs sent as well.

[hogjowl]

They don't make muff's big enough for those ears.

 

[Wandslinger]

That's funny Mike, I thought I was the only guy doing that (once in a while).

 

[hogjowl]

That would make three. You, Mike and Luddy.

He and Mike think alike.
