We'll, like taking a car for repairs and it won't make the clang or rattle for the service guy, we couldn't get the vacuum to misbehave. He said he hadn't heard of Orecks doing that either. But he has short pieces of carpet and my machine is mostly listing on some longer carpets. I was impressed, however, with the man's knowledge.
Description of Work: My Oreck pulls to one side so I took it to this highly recommended shop.

Description of Work: Panasonic microwave oven repair. I found the small service company through the Panasonic web site, after the unit failed to operate. Carried in the microwave for evaluation: the proprietor promised to diagnose the failure within 2 days for a small fee, to be credited against repair cost. Diagnosed as promised, I approved a minor repair, and it was done within 24 hours.

FANTASTIC! I came in the door and got a warm and friendly welcome. No doomsday "You're going to need a new one" or "This thing is old, old old". He suggested maybe just the hose was blocked and offered several options: a tune-up and a grand tune-up. They offered me a loaner (for free) and thought they could keep my old vac going and going and going. IT FELT LIKE A FRIEND. So nice. So warm, so personal. AND A RELIEF after the last not-nice vac store I'd been too. WORTH THE DRIVE FROM EVANSTON!!!!
Description of Work: Took a look-see as to why my Miele wasn't picking up so well anymore after 14 years. And a new vacuum head for my broken one.

The provider was honest and up front. He told me he may or may not have to replace an important part and would try to save money if possible. I am very pleased with the service.

We purchased our sweeper from this store in 2007 and have had no problem with the sweeper since. Last nite the sweeper stopped working. After trouble shooting we were convienced the sweeper was just old and kaput. Since we are in the middle of a three bathroom rehab, not having a sweeper was unrealistic as the construction mess spreads throughout the house. Went to the Best Vacuum store this morning fully expecting to buy a new sweeper but brought the old one along as they are also a service center. Mike and Mark diagnosed the problem. Lent me a vacuum to use for longer than the required service time so that my sweeper doesn't need service after construction finishes. I offered to rent the sweeper and pay for cleaning of the loaner, they emphatically refused. My experience with Best Vacuum is exactly why I always try to purchase locally with a small business.
Description of Work: Clean & service Miele S5 sweeper. Provided a loaner sweeper while service was performed.

The repair man took my Kirby and said he would call me back in a few days with an estimate. He was a little late in calling so I called him back. He got right on it.. gave me an estimate... said he had the parts and I could pick it up in a day. So I did, and the vacuum was fixed and is still working well. The owner/repair man also gave me some great advice on purchasing a newer better vacuum in the future. The cost was reasonable and I was satisfied.
Description of Work: The repairman replaced the plug and cord and replace front grill.

The team was great. They didn't laugh at my 25 year old vacuum cleaner - and they didn't try to sell me a newer model. Both individuals were great and the job was completed on time and budget.

I went to Best Vacuum in the hope that they would re-condition my aging Electolux canister vacuum. When I got there, I was told that they were not able or willing to recondition the vacuum but would sell me a new vacuum hose which would improve the performance of the vacuum. I couldn't believe how expensive the new vacuum hose was, but it was less than buying a new vacuum and did improve the suction of the vacuum noticeably.

Since Dyson does not allow anyone beside Dyson to do repairs on its products, I could not get my unit serviced. Regardless, the salesman, Tom, spent a lot of time looking over my unit to make sure it was working properly as well as giving me tips as how to prevent the problem from occurring in the future.

Was waited on quickly. I'm sorry I don't have the name of the person who helped me. But he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Took lots of time answering my questions. Patiently demonstrated various machines and their features and attachments. Gave me a price to replace the part I brought in, as it could not be repaired. They feature Miele vacuums and a couple other high end brands as well. Have not decide whether to replace the part or shop for a new vacuum. The price for replacing the turbo brush for my Miele vacuum would be $129.
Description of Work: Went in with an old Miele vacuum with a part that wasn't working very well to find out if it could be repaired.

I have a Miehle vacuum and did not put the bag in correctly. MY MISTAKE. I noticed dust inside and the vacuum wasn't picking up. They were extremely nice and sent the vacuum back to the factory, cleaning it inside and out and putting in a new filter ($50 of the charge) as well as fixing the motor in the motorized hose piece. It really works like new - and better than it had the last time I brought it in elsewhere.

These guys are great! They know their machines and have given me good advice over the years.
Description of Work: I brought my about 10-years-old Miele vacuum into the shop. I had bought it there years ago--great buy! Reliable, and they stand by it. No problems beyond hair clogs (cat hair and people--teen daughters are h****** vacuums). My vacuum no longer picked up dirt. They diagnosed and fixed the issue on the spot and it works great again. It would have been cheaper, but I also bought some more bags.

After dropping a plant on the ground and attempting to vacuum up the dirt, our vacuum became clogged. After attempting to fix the clog ourselves, we were unable to do so and since the unit is quite a few years old we thought it was worth looking into getting serviced. To that end, we called Best Vacuum Inc. based on the reviews from Angie's List, and the gentleman on the phone suggested we bring our vacuum in even though the technicians are only in Monday through Friday. Once we brought our vacuum in, the gentleman immediately took it to the back and began working on it himself. After 5 minutes he reemerged having unclogged the unit and - recognizing the age and poor status of our current belt - replacing the belt. He didn't charge us for the labor and provided a demonstration for the now-working vacuum. He recognized the age of the vacuum and suggested we monitor the unit as it probably will only hold up for another year; he then gave us a coupon to trade our old vacuum in, but we never felt he was trying to sell us something. Overall our experience was fantastic and we would be happy to recommend them for their service.
Description of Work: Vacuum had no suction, so the belt was replaced and clog cleared out.

I was completely confused about the differences between vacuums. Best Vacuums not only educated me about the features of the products but really helped me evaluate how the VALUE of each option. In addition, if the salesperson didn't feel he could speak as an expert on a particular brand, he had the owner come out and address the topic. What I liked was that the owner was very honest about the units and did not simply steer me to the most expensive ones. Of course in the end the benefits outweighed the cost and I did buy the Miele but I felt that he was not partial to either choice...it was truly what was best for his customer's need. The only downside is that my husband and I went in on two separate occasions and talked to two different people and the pricing was presented in different ways (original price with a discount vs. bottom line and we were quoted two separate pricing for our trade in) after some confusing math we realized it ultimately came to the same final number. I just wanted bottom line and this made me feel like perhaps there was a chance I could overpay vs. another customer. I feel comfortable that this was not the case after looking at internet offers, and calling other stores.

My Miele vacuum stopped working completely. I took it over and dropped it off. They called a few days later and talked to my handy man who said move forward. I thought the estimate of 160 bucks was high (in retrospect it was not). A few days later, I got back what looked like a brand new vacuum cleaner. They replaced the broken power supply, overhauled everything, replaced rug beater, and even cleaned and buffed the canister. This machine is 10 years old and has been used nearly everday. It really makes sense to buy a quality machine and pay for quality service when it makes things last this long. My expectations were thoroughly exceeded. I am really surprised that a vacuum repair could make me this happy!

They told me how long it would be and how much to expect to pay. They called a day early and I paid just for labor.
Description of Work: My Dyson vacuum wouldn't turn on. Called them up and asked if they could repair it. They said to bring it in and that it would take a week to get it back. Explained that the vacuum might need to just be cleaned out if a clog caused the problem and that I would only have to pay for labor. Received a call in 6 days that the vacuum was ready and picked it up the next day, only paying for labor.

I was very impressed. I would compare the way they worked to surgery. They were extra careful with everything. They put drop clothes down. They looked at the areas where the appliances were going to go and took the time to think and plan exactly how to get them in there properly. I think they did an exceptional job!
