Spent good money to put high end Berber carpet in the house with persian carpets in the main formal area, then found out the challenges of having a single machine manage the cleaning without ruining the investment!The rollers that spin to create the air fow can catch the loops! I looked at lots of options from Simplicity to Dyson and the Miele 7280 was the Lexus of them all.One boundary condition for us was an upright.

The Miele has the same hinged movement as the Dyson so it is very easy to move around and the attachments are plug and play with simple end member push ins, it is very seamless to go from wood floors to marble to Berber carpet to attachments. LED headlights and the ability to go flat for under furniture are a big plus.I am using the suction only which is adjustable for now until I need to run the brush for a deep clean, by itself it does a great job. The HEPA filter is the best in business which was also a consideration.

What really sets off this Vacuum is the design, it is very high end at a reasonable price of $750.I am considering leaving it out of the closet it looks that good!The Dyson looks like a plastic toy and the Slimplicity looks like something my grandmother still uses, this is the Mercedes of Vacuum cleaners.

Power Bright VC200W Voltage Transformer 200 Watt Step Up/Down 110 Volt - 220 Volt Review

Power Bright VC200W Voltage Transformer 200 Watt Step Up/Down 110 Volt - 220 Volt

I bought this transformer about a year ago for my German sewing machine (230 V, 85 W, 50 Hz) to run it in the US (110 V, 60 Hz). So far it works like a charm. I've used it for quite a few sewing projects over the past year and was worried whether the 60 Hz/50 Hz difference would be an issue, but everything seems to be running just fine. Investing twenty bucks in a transformer allowed me to keep using my familiar sewing machine instead of buying and learning how to use a new one, so it was well worth it.

This product was everything I expected.It did come with a broken wheel which took another week to receive before I could use it.But once I got it set up and started to use it - it was the best thing ever.Now I can't wait to finish the next quilt.Very easy to set up.Comes with a DVD on how to set up and install the material of your quilt.I think it should have a small pamphlet to follow also on installing the materail so you do not have to keep going back to the video to see what direction the material needs to be pinned on to the lead.But all in all the product itself is WONDERFUL!!

Machingers Gloves-Small/Medium Review

Machingers Gloves-Small/Medium
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got a pair of these machine quilter's gloves, and I love using them!They give me that grip, needed, to
push the layers of fabric through the machine, in order to quilt all 3 layers.No dry skin, no slipping, you get a good grip with these, and they are lightweight material, so, you hands don't perspire, while quilting in hot weather.

I want to get another pair, asap, just in case.

One thing, these are not machine washable, nor can you put them in a dryer. Hand wash, only.Not a big deal, really.
I recommend these, for any machine quilters, who are tired of their fingers slipping, or tired ofhaving aching muscles,from
gettingthe fabric through the machine.

Bosch BSG71360UC Formula Electro Duo HEPA Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Bosch BSG71360UC Formula Electro Duo HEPA Canister Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We moved to a three-story townhouse, and it quickly became clear that my loud, clumsy old Hoover upright was not going to work out in our new home. I nearly went deaf trying to vacuum the stairs, and trying to keep an upright balanced on the steps was an exercise in futility.

So I was convinced that a canister vac was the way to go. This is the second one I tried and the one I decided to keep.

Suction is very good. I'm sure it could be stronger, but given the light weight and the quiet operation, I'm very happy with its ability to clean. In a tradeoff between outright suction and weight, I'm happy to err in favor of a lighter unit, especially with three stories to clean.

The power brush attachment is great on low-to-medium height pile and works better than I'd expected on hardwood floors. A switch to turn the brushroll on and off is right on the handle, which is a must in my book. Crevice, upholstery, and dusting brush attachments are included and fit nicely onboard. They're useful, if a little small.

On the downside, the other reviewers are spot-on with the complaints about the hose length. It could certainly be longer, and though it has a telescoping wand, it's not enough to reach that far overhead.

In addition, I think it would've been more convenient had they put suction strength and on/off controls on the handle, as is the case with the competing Electrolux Oxygen3 that I tried.

I do wish it were priced lower, but after spending many weekends trying out the available alternatives at brick-and-mortar stores, I just couldn't find anything that had the Bosch's virtues with a comparable price. If your priority is having a quiet, compact, and lightweight vacuum with excellent suction and all the essential cleaning tools, it's probably worth the premium.
