Re: Miele Canister Vacuum

BiBrun
I thought I'd revive this thread, as I've tried to do some more vacuuming
this
allergy season and find that my Miele Red Star bothers me terribly if I
vacuum
the whole house, even using an extra long 10' hose between me and the
vacuum.
In the past I've also used a shop vac with 2 hoses attached together, and
it seemed
tolerable but not pleasant.

It turns out the Miele and most others have carbon brush motors, which
generate
plenty of radio interference and dirty electricity.  There are a few
brushless vacuums
out there, like the ShopVac SR models, but they use a switching controller
so they
may not be better.  Some Electrolux and Rainbow  also have brushless
motors, but if they
are brushless in the sense of a DC brushless motor it may still be bad (and
they're expensive).

Of course if you have central vacuum that is nice, but any other success
stories are welcome...

RE: Miele Canister Vacuum

Vacuuming bothers me too. There are commercial sweeper vacuums that don't use any power andsupposedly, they pick up well. While I have taken a look at them, I haven't bought one simply because I'd rather find a place I can SEEfor myself how well they actually do pick up.I find a good old fashioned "straw" broom, works fairly well on my braided rug. I got rid of alot of my carpet and I can't say I miss it!I"m curious, are you using any adrenal support? I find adrenalsupport works wonders on our allergies. This along with ridding the dietof ingredients like: MSG, Soy, and the chemical additives foundcommonly in processed foods reduced my lifelong so called: HayFever by 99%. The few times I do get any allergy symptoms, I find drinking Baking Soda water nips it in the bud.  Lizzie

Re: Miele Canister Vacuum

I remember we had a rug sweeper when I was a kid.  Basically works for
stuff you can see sitting on top of the carpet... probably best with the
old style short capets or commercial style carpets.  But zero EMFs....

I did mop yesterday which helped a lot.  And I realize now I had eaten some
restaurant food etc.  NYT reported on pesticides and bees and says all US
corn (non organic?) has these new pesticides that are absorbed into every
tissue of the plant.

Thanks for the baking soda tip.  Will try.
