Diva,

What is the primary benefit of post-vacing? Obviously, a prevac is essential, but how essential is the post vac? Is it simply a matter of setting the pile, or does the vacuum enable something else?

A friend using a bonnet system uses a carpet rake to set the pile when he's done. Could this work in place of the post vac?

Just askin.

No TM system, which is why I'm interested in a portable. I have a Kirby G4 at home, but the wife won't want me using it full time. Its a great system, but takes time to change attachments, and the bags fill up quickly, (which is good cause it shows how much dirt its picking up.) That's why I'm looking for a good brand.

I haven't checked out the Bissell, but if the performance is good, I'll probably get one. I'd like it to have a good hose attachment system, and it should be relatively durable. I want to get into the OP pad system, and a good vacuum is really important.

Lindhaus vacuums are very good but pricey (also come in many different labels)

Powrflite's are good

Dyson (too much $$ for a piece of plastic IMO)

Sanitaire and Eureka commercial vacs are great and priced reasonably

if you have a TM,a turbine is impressive.

What's the matter Doug, do you fell another sales pitch coming on. Maybe he wants you guys to give him some name brands that you think are good so he can check them out.   Bissell

I notice John G. has a PowrFlite PF75 listed on his website with the "Package Three". What is so preferred about this vacuum, John, and what are your feelings compared to the Bissell?

That bissell was seen at SF and it did at least as well as the Dyson to ALL of our amazement.

the most important part of any carpet care process is prevacuuming. and if you are using a pilelifter, you are removing more than 80% of the soil in a dry form, no other vac come close. light weight, means light duty.
nothing is impossable. it just hasn't been done yet.
