Today we helped a customer find bags for their  Sanitaire Mighty Mite SC3683A vacuum cleaner. Trying to figure out what bags fit your current vacuum cleaner is sometimes confusing. The easiest way to figure out what style vacuum cleaner bag fits your vacuum cleaner is to read the current bag inside the machine. Most brands will write the bag style or number on the vacuum bag itself. For example, in helping this customer with her vacuum cleaner bags, the style of the bag was printed right on the top of the vacuum bag. If there is nothing on the vacuum bag itself, the next step is to look for the model number of the vacuum. On most vacuums this number is printed on the back or bottom of the machine on a silver sticker. After you locate the model number of your vacuum cleaner, the next step is using evacuumstore.com's search by model number option inside each brands page. Evacuumstore.com offers bags, filters, hoses, and much much more for this Sanitaire SC3683A. After helping this c...

Blue collar guy from Boston putting his two cents in for the Austin air systems air purifier model AA-HM400-3.  First off I was really a skeptic about getting an air purifier but the girlfriend finally broke me down and I bought one, unfortunately a great decision which I will never live down.  I live in a garden level apartment with a low amount of air flow and it has always felt little stuffy no matter how well it was cleaned.   I am not going to say it worked perfectly and instantly from the start because it didn’t, it took over two days to get a noticeable difference.  Now I run this thing all day everyday and it just makes my house nicer to come home to.  The unit is also small, about the size of an end table and it comes in black to match most of my furniture.  The best part of this purchase is I don’t have to change a filter for five years or worry about any parts and labor. Now there are probably better purifiers out the...

I never thought I’d write an article about vacuum cleaners, and it’s kind of a funny story how this came about. I was sitting at my keyboard surfing the internet, just passing the time. And for whatever reason, probably boredom, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that my keyboard was clogged and full of crumbs and dirt between the keys.  The first thing I tried was flipping the keyboard over to shake the dirt loose…no luck…hmm…I turned my attention back to the internet and began to search for a solution. After about 20 minutes of fruitless searching I came across a website selling a set of “Mini Vacuum Attachments” for detailed cleaning jobs. I quickly placed an order; it cost about $15. When the package arrived only a couple days later, I proceeded to pull out my dad’s ancient Electrolux canister vacuum from the basement. This metal vac is a champ. It’s at least 20 years old, but it’s still kicking—still packs a punch. From the mini attachments set I took out the mini crevi...

Wire reinforced or Crush-Proof Hoses:  Crush Proof hoses lighter, and cannot be damaged as easily and weigh less wire reinforced.  Crush proof hoses can used in the garage since they are safe to run over with your car. However, wire reinforced hoses cannot kink, which might be helpful if you have to clean around large amounts of furniture. Wire reinforced hoses are more durable, but they can be damaged if large amounts of pressure is applied, but sometimes they can be returned to form with a rubber mallet. Electric or Non-Electric: If you are going to be using a nozzle that requires an electric current to be provided, you need an electric hose. There are two types of electric hoses:  pig-tail and direct connect. Pig-tail hoses are full electric hoses, but have to be plugged into an electric outlet as well as the suction inlet. At the end of the hose exists a cord to be plugged into an outlet that provides electricity for the power nozzle . These hoses can be used on ...

A good vacuum cleaner will last around 8 to 12 years.  It is a good idea to maintain and repair your vacuum often. If your vacuum is not functioning well the first thing to do is to identify the problem and then know what part needs replacement. Replacement parts are not that expensive. Your manual may have instructions on how to remove and replace your parts. To check your machine, make sure it is unplugged.  The most common parts that need repair are the hose, belt, switches and brush roll.  Inspect the hose, wand and cleaning tools to locate any obstructions.  Debris often collects where one part plugs into another. Remove the parts one at a time. Push a broom handle through the hose and wand.  Look for cracks in the vacuum hose which can cause air leaks. Check the bag and clean or replace all filters.  Replace belts, in connecting a new belt you will need to remove the roller from the vacuum cleaner. Check to make sure the brush roll is spinning....

To determine whether or not a vacuum cleaner meets your needs, you should first determine what your needs are. Someone who has children will need a vacuum cleaner that is reliable and durable. Someone who handles sporting events will need a vacuum cleaner that can handle high trafficked areas. Someone who has trouble bending, lifting, and pulling may need an Aerus vacuum that is lightweight. If you have decided that you need an Aerus vacuum that is reliable and durable, keep in mind that “heavy” does not mean durable. Durable means that it has an average life of at least three years, is covered under warranty, and can get dirt off of the floor like it’s nobody’s business. A durable vacuum should also be able to hold up to a few crashes on the floor. If you have children, you need to be especially careful about what vacuum you get. You should store your vacuum out of your child’s reach, like in a small closet. However, your vacuum should be child-proof, and should be able to withst...
