I brought my vacuum in to have a broken axle replaced. I was told it would be $30.00, which was higher than I expected. I asked if there were coupons available online. The man who was helping me told me that, yes, coupons were available. I left the vacuum and was told I would receive a call when the vacuum was ready. I hadn't heard from anyone by Saturday, so I called and was told that the vacuum was finished. Meanwhile, I had found a coupon for &14.95 service plus parts. When I went to pick up the vacuum, I presented the coupon and was told the total was 29.95. I asked ,"didn't the coupon apply?", and was told, yes, it was. 29.95 was the price after coupon. (same price I was quoted when I took the vacuum in). I looked over the bill and realized that I had been charged for a new belt, a new filter, and the axle. When I questioned it, the young man said, "well, I'm not going to argue over it, I'll take it off, but you just got a new belt and filter for free". I said nothing as I handed over my $21.95 and left. So, I am still not quite sure what kind of acrobatics were done with the coupon and the pricing but I do have a repaired vacuum. I will search Angie's list for another provider to try the next time.

Went in to purchase a vacuum cleaner. The salesman was very kind and patient and let me try out a few and discussed their pros and cons. He was not pushy. I was given a very good price and some free accessories with my purchase. They also fixed my old vacuum for the cost of parts.

Fantastic! The guys quickly put the new part on, tested the vacuum and rang me up. I was very pleased with their service.
Description of Work: My older Dyson vacuum clean brush rod broke. I called Cleary Vacuum to see if they serviced Dysons and if they had the part in stock. They assured me they did and they would install it too. When I arrived, they looked at the Dyson and replaced the brush and checked to make sure it worked just fine. They did warn me that sometimes when the brush stops rotating, the clutch could go out; however, upon installing the new brush, the clutch was fine.

I don't remember what they charged me, but their price was reasonable. Yet I plan to take my vacuum back to him because they expected it to work a little differently than what it did when it came back. He did a good job and he was very knowledgeable. However, when I got home, it didn't work on all the settings. So I have got to take it back to him and talk to him. It was the owner that I spoke with before I left, but I found out that I actually need to try the vacuum before I leave the store. I expected it to work on all my settings and it didn't. It worked on the one that I needed to. It didn't work on the slow setting and the medium setting. It worked on the high setting. When I left the store we talked about different vacuums and he was knowledgeable about the different ones. I think he put the belt on my vacuum. We have got long hair so we need to change the belt quite often.

My Riccar vacuum was not working properly, it was emitting a burned rubber smell. I took my vacuum into the store, and they quickly determined it needed a new vacuum belt. They installed the belt while I waited, and my vacuum is working perfectly. Thank you Cleary Vacuum!

My Hoover carpet cleaner was making an unusual noise. Cleary checked it out completely and cleaned it for me. However, they found nothing wrong so they did not charge me. Strangely enough, it no longer makes the noise that I heard. I've been there before and they can be counted on to do a good job and their prices are reasonable.

I took my vacuum into the shop, thinking I would need to leave it for days or more. The technician asked if I would like to wait to see if he could find and repair it quickly. He had a new part installed, resolving the problem, within minutes. The low charge of $17.69 was extremely gratifying.

The service was great from start to finish. I had a family energency on the original date of service and they rescheduled with no problem a day later.
Description of Work: My central vacuum system hose handle kept cutting out and one baseboard vac pan had no suction. They replaced the switch in the hose handle (under warranty) and fixed the seal on the vac pan. Also replaced a second broken vac pan and replaced the filter (lifetime warranty). They also cleaned the system and replaced my worn rugmaster belt and light. They were very efficient and pleasant.

I was told this would be hundreds of dollars to repair and advised to just buy another vacuum by a different company. I was so pleased that this wasn't the case. It was finished when promised. I was so pleased with them that when I need to buy another it will be from them.

I was very pleased with the service. He explained everything very well, and was more than happy to talk to me about the vacuum quality. They have a nice selection of new vacuums as well. If I need service, or if I ever need a new vacuum, I wil definitely go back to Cleary.
Description of Work: My Dyson Animal beater bar wasn't working and I thought I had something stuck inside. He looked over my Dyson thoroughly, and found that the beater bar switch wasn't coming all the way up when pushed. He told me to try it, but if it happens again I can contact Dyson to authorize a free repair.

They were great! We recently moved here from Fort Wayne and didn't know where to go for good vacuum service. I had been in this store one other time to purchase cleaning products and had been pleased with their service. They do not sell our brand of vacuum (from Germany), but took a great interest in looking over my vacuum nonetheless. Even though they don't sell this particular brand, they knew all about it and I learned quite a bit from them. They had sold this brand in the past, but discontinued it when the company was sold resulting in distribution problems. (Given my experience with finding parts for this brand, I would say this was a good decision on their part.) They quickly identified the problem as a clogged primary filter which they advised I could buy online from a distributor. They would not charge me anything for their time and diagnosis. My next vacuum will be purchased from Cleary!
Description of Work: I brought in a Karcher vacuum (purchased elsewhere) for service since it was no longer picking up dirt and dust.

The rotating brushes and finger trigger on my Hoover carpet cleaner / steam vac were not working. I determined Cleary Vacuum was a mfr. authorized repair center and checked customer feedback reports on Angie's List. I dropped of the machine on Monday morning and it was ready to be picked up by Tuesday afternoon. The repair fee was far below the cost of replacing the unit. I was ready to submit a superior report when I pulled up in their parking lot and the service tech met me at my car and offered to carry in the machine for me!

Description of Work: I took my vacuum cleaner in because there was a clog in the hose. The technician tried to blow it out, but it was wedged in there. He took the hose apart, removed the item clogging it and put it back together. There was no charge for this service.

When I called to ask about repair service, representative was pleasant and helpful. I found the business easy to access and took the vacuum there, where rep. said the problem was probably in the switch. I asked that he also check filters. He called within 3 days and said it was ready to pick up. I had been using an extra long hose, but rep said that it was more easily clogged and it affected the "sucking" ability of the vacuum (which made sense to me) so I purchased a shorter hose.
Description of Work: "Well-aged" Hoover vacuum cleaner refused to start. Cleary replaced the switch, checked and replaced filters and recommended we replace the hose.

He's above and beyond! He could've sold me a quite a bit more, but he's so honest, he didn't try to sell me new models or parts or anything! When I'm ready to purchase a vacuum, I will definitely go there!
Description of Work: Chris has been doing this since he was at his grandfather's knee! Its hard to find a good vacuum repair person anymore. I found him to be just delightful! He's a very unassuming young man. The cord needed to be replaced. He suggested a lighter weight one. It was scalloping because I wasn't wrapping it on the vacuum, but on my arm! He also replaced the light bulb. I thought my tube didn't fit the vacuum slot very well and he offered to give me a new one, but it turned out it I wasn't seating it correctly. I asked him about the upholstery attachment because I didn't think it was working properly. He looked at it pretty thoroughly and said it was fine! He showed me how to use it to get maximum use out of it. He could've just sold me a new one, so I feel he is very honest.

I called up Cleary Vacuum because our built in vacuum system for the house didn't seem to work well. They found a clog in the line and checked all the ducts. They sucked out each opening at the vents and did a quick flush of air through the system. The son of the owner came out and did the work in under an hour. It works great now!

What a great store. I'll never buy a vacuum cleaner from a dept store again! They did the repair job quickly (in 2 days) at a reasonable cost. More importantly, the selection they had a new vacuum cleaners was amazing. I know where to go back when we're ready to replace. Of course it was nice to not have to replace at this time. :)
Description of Work: Our vacuum wasn't working, there was no suction. A bag had become disconnected and dust had been pulled into the unit through an open vent, vs. the normal channels. I think this busted it!

The salesman sold me a vacuum handle that has a head that will detach or reattach. It will stop if it sucks in a sock. It has much more suction than the regular residential vacuum, it is supposed to reduce the allergens in the house by 30% - 50%, and it cleans the interior of my cars in half the time. I need to put in a larger circuit breaker, residential to commercial. Service was very professional and expedient. The installer/sales person was extremely courteous.

I was impressed that he didn't try to immediately sell me the missing part and suggested I look for it first. If I couldn't find it, he could order one with a phone call since he wrote down the number on his card. (And I found it when I got back home because I knew what to look for.) I appreciate businesses that are honest and helpful, which is why I will continue to shop there and recommend Cleary Vacuum to my friends and family.
Description of Work: Took my vacuum in for repair. The gentleman took off several of the components to see if it was something minor and said there was a piece missing. He looked it up and showed me what the part looked like so I could check for it at home. Also, it needed a new filter.

We stopped at the store first and were given very detailed descriptions of each of their systems and listened to their recommendations. They offered an estimate and scheduled the installation. At the time of installation, they were on time, very polite, and went to great deal to explain how the system operates. I appreciated doing business with them and love my new central vac system.
Description of Work: When we built our house last year, we had the Central Vac wired but didn't complete the piping or buy the system or attachments until this year.
