We bought one of those spendy Cyclone type vacuums a while back. Everything has been fine until we moved into a new house (with cheaper carpet). Anyway, it has been shedding “carpet pills” like crazy for two months. My wife has plugged up the vacuum tight.
I finally unclogged it and taped the hose to the shop vac hose. This arrangement works great but is unwieldy.
Does anyone make a beater-bar attachment for the shop vac?
