This was a repair. I already knew what happend before I tore into it! The owner claims no water pumping out, and that was just it. If you don't use Bissel Carpet Cleaner in a Bissell machine, it causes damage to the pump and other workings. Thankfully, I was able to free the pump up and get it working again, but there was another problem. It still wouldn't spray at the hose. A thick solid mass had clumped up in the supply hose internal of the suction hose. It was .99 for the hose assembly, but I managed to get a 20ft piece of hose for .88, and I was actually able to replace it. Not any easy operation, about an hour. I made sure I got the old hose out first before attempting to find a replacement. Now, it's good as new. I dry clean my carpet, so I used my kitchen floor for test and vid purposes! I don't like to get it all wet. Sorry for the poor vid quality.

Spyder Sonix Paintball Gun Review
The Spider Sonix paintball gun is one step up from Kingman's most basic paintball gun and is billed as a good all around choice for the beginner player. This gun has a few minor upgrades over the base Spider model that should make it a little more attractive to some users. It's your call so let's take a look.
Before we get into the meat of the article let's hit the bullet points of the pros and cons.
Paintball Gun Design
Kingman's Spider Sonix 2007 is the newest version of the venerable and very popular Sonix paintball gun. The newest model did not produce any significant changes to the design, it is still a very simple blowback style gun but it does come equipped with a few upgrades over the base Spyder Victor paintball gun.
Some of the features include:
An entry level standard ASA
Double trigger
Sight rail and a vertical feed tube (you have to use a removable vertical feedneck).
Gas-through foregrip
Front expansion chamber under the barrel.
Top cocking Delrin bolt.
It is available in several colors and the overall milling has produced a very attractive looking paintball gun.
Paintball Gun Performance
The Spider Sonix's overall performance isn't bad considering the price point. It will fire pretty much as fast as you can pull the trigger however it has a fairly long, stiff trigger pull. This will hinder your rate of fire, significantly so don't expect the high rates of fire like a high end gun can produce.
Another downfall to the gun is that it is not particularly consistent. Paintball muzzle velocity will vary from shot to shot producing varied results. In spite of the inconsistent velocity it is able to produce a reasonable amount of accuracy as long as you stick to using decent paintballs.
The foregrip and front expansion chamber of the Sonix don't seem to add much to in terms of performance. I do think that it is a much more comfortable combination to hold on to than the Victor though so well worth it in my opinion.
These upgrades are not significant but in my opinion they are worth the few extra dollars that this gun sells for compared to the Victor.
Paintball Gun Reliability and Maintenance
This is a very simply designed gun which means it is very easy to maintain and as long as you don't abuse it, the Spider Sonix should work well for years. I would strongly recommend thought hat you clean and oil your gun after each use.
If you develop a leak in your gun then you should be able to just get by replacing your O-rings. One of the benefits of a simple design.
I should also mention that the quick-release bolt makes cleaning the chamber a snap. It is so easy to do that you will have no excuse not to keep it clean.
Conclusion
Bottom line is that the Spider Sonix paintball gun is an excellent beginner gun as is but it can also be heavily upgraded. The design is very common and aftermarket parts are available from a wide variety of vendors so whether you want to get a barrel kit, electronic trigger frame, upgraded bolt or custom grips, the Sonix will be able to handle it.
Pros
* Inexpensive Price Point
* Very upgradeable design
* Simple and reliable design
* Quick-release bolt
Cons
* Not particularly accurate or consistent
* Has a tendency to chop cheap paint
* Entry level components

Clean Your Carpets Professionally Yourself
Carpet cleaning is a task best handled by professionals, but it can be a costly option that cannot be considered frequently. A better option is to do it yourself. There are many cleaners for carpets available that can help you keep your carpet looking spotlessly clean. However, not all work with the same level of efficiency or give you the quality of cleaning required to give your carpet a professionally clean look.
So how do you decide which is the best carpet cleaner? One way of doing so is to look for the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval. The Carpet and Rug Institute tests cleaners on a number of factors and based on their performance on these criteria, CRI issues one of its three Seals of Approval - Gold, Silver or Bronze.
Among the many approved rug cleaners currently available in the market, some of the best cleaners include the Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner, the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge, and the Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner. While the first two are full room carpet cleaners, the third one is a spot cleaner. 1)Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner:
The Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner is as close as it gets to getting your carpets professionally cleaned, but without the associated cost. With 12 rows of rotating Dirt Lifter Power Brushes and surround suction action, the Bissell 9400 ProHeat deep cleans your carpet and grooms carpeted floors. The Power Brushes agitate the carpet to bring deep-sitting dirt to the surface while the wide, 12-inch nozzle quickly sucks up every speck of dirt.
The 9400 ProHeat offers three cleaning choices - light clean, normal rinse, and heavy traffic. It has a built-in heater that heats both water and cleaning formula to remove even the toughest carpet stains. Ultra-smooth wheels make the cleaner extremely easy to maneuver while the extra-long 30-foot power cord allows you take the cleaner to every corner of your home. The Bissell 9400 ProHeat also has a full-capacity tank that takes both water and cleaning formula and comes with a full set of tools to make even the toughest cleaning a breeze.
2)Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge:
One of the most powerful cleaners currently on the market, the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac does away with the need to rent a steam cleaner for your carpet, rugs, and upholstery. It is equally effective on carpets and bare floors. Five spinning brushes that operate at two speeds dig up and lift even deeply ingrained dirt and grime.
A trigger built into the handle releases a mixture of cleaner and hot tap water to get stains out of your carpet. This SteamVac comes with a special Clean Surge feature that hits stubborn stains with extra cleaning solution to get these off your carpet. Two water tanks in the deep cleaner make it easy to separate clean water from dirty one, while the top tank automatically mixes detergent with a gallon of hot water to get the perfect cleaning mixture. Other features include an eight foot long hose, a brush indicator, an on-off foot pedal, and a 27-inch power cord.
3)Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner:
Listed by many as the best spot cleaner around, the Bissell SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner requires minimal human intervention for its cleaning work. All you are required to do is place it over the spot or stain, get the machine started, and leave it alone. The SpotBot comes with two preprogrammed modes for surface or set-in stains, and an option for manual cleaning.
This cleaner is equally effective on food, juice, and pet stains. Its unique spiral brushing action evenly spreads the cleaning formula over the stain and agitates it thoroughly to remove even the toughest of stains.
