I have heard metalized can interfere with satellite radio and radar detectors is this true? Also, what brands would you recomend? I have a radar detector and if the metalized interferes I don't want it, so which brand is best for non-metalized black tinted windows? Thanks
If worse comes to worst, you can take it to your local ORECK store and they might be able to repair it for $39.00. I never liked Dirt Devil myself.
Instead of wasting around $315 on an Oreck XL21 why don't you try a dyson for just $500. I have experiance both vacuums and I'd have to say, the Dyson is much more stronger and worth the few extra cash. The Oreck however, being so lightweight lost its suction in around 6-7 months. It was very good while it lasted but their durability wasn't as promised. 21 year gurentee? psh. try half a year. I have had a dyson for around 2 years now and it still works like new. And being a new mommy the dyson is light and works great. You can pinch even more pennies if you get the new mini dyson. :] Congrats and hope this helps.
Only dirt? What does it suck? Kidding. Since you say nothing is stuck in the hose/tube, there could be a small crack in the tube or hose. Have you vacuumed anything even mildy damp lately? That can cause mud build up and block it up. Have you turned it over and looked at the brush? Are there a million strings, lint, rubber bands etc. around the roller? Have you cleaned the filter(s) lately? Just because there's nothing around the filter doesn't mean it's clean. You may need to take an hour or two and a screw driver and go over the whole thing. It's cheaper than having a repair shop charge you $150 or more just to tell you the dogs fuzzy toy was in the hose (so to speak). Also, is this the little inexpensive upright Dirt Devil? Little meaning their entry level upright. If so, just throw it away. They never did give the suction needed to sweep even a clean floor and even the minutest cobweb would jam them up more solid than the Hoover dam. The hand held version does a fantastic job compared to that. But, check everything. Do you know how many high end expensive vacuums I have aquired over the years because the people thought they were broken? Vacuums are very hard to kill. You have to really work at it to really kill one. You generally cannot hurt it. Just get a little dirty and you'll fix it. One lady tossed a brand new $1,500.00 machine in the dumpster because she thought it was broken. I looked at it and the cord. She'd vacuumed the cord. A little black tape and it was good as new. ( yes I gave it back to her )
