Euro Pro Shark Infinity NV29 (same as NV30, NV31)

I bought the Euro Pro Shark Infinity NV29 vacuum cleaner at a local wal-mart and can't be more pleased with the results.

The suction is incredible and I could not believe the amount of dirt it picks up from carpets. Although (in my opinion) this is an excellent vacuum, there are some silly design flaws.

Many people complain about their infinity vacuum losing suction, but I think I have a solution for that problem.

One of the flaws (again in my opinion) is in the cyclones. The dirt that gets trapped in the cyclones isn't very easy to get out. Most people just pour water over the cyclones which makes things worse!

I used my infinity vacuum 3 times, once over at my friends house (which isn't very big) once on the area rug we have, and third on my car, none of them very dirty, except for my friends house.

I emptied the cyclones every time I vacuumed and then I "back washed" them. I couldn't believe the amount of dirt that came out of them!

Now to back wash them, take a garden hose, with some good water pressure behind it and run water up in the ROUND hole, this forces the dirt and junk to be flushed out the opposite way it came in, then it should restore the suction power.

Also the manufacturer exaggerates about the amount of cleaning and maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, but hey, a lot cheaper that a Dyson or other brands.
