You guys are making me feel *real* great about my decision to drop the central vac plans...

Dude, did you not read my most recent post in this thread?

This is very reassuring, though it still pains me to do it, even if I've slowly lost interest over time. I'm already putting my money towards something more manageable right now. Also, I already have a selection of decent portable vacuums to use in the meantime, such as my Nacecare Henry.

Very helpful... 🤦

Things aren't going well with this project. Like a lot of my past ambitious plans, this one has run into a serious problem. Let me explain. A couple months ago I was offered a part-time job which I gladly took up. Not to brag, but the pay was very good, so good in fact that I thought that by...

The Shop Vac at my work has been serving for quite a while, however recently its switch has been faulty. I'm not as well versed on Shop Vac brand vacs, so I'm not really sure how to repair/source parts for them. Help is greatly appreciated.

And yet he goes after us and claims the ones spreading misinformation. Let's also not forget his pick up tests on a non flow-through waterproof carpet, so pretty much every machine he tested that wasn't a Dyson did horribly. Like I said, unless you're gonna knock it all off, you can get out...

Yes, you are clearly biased towards Dyson.

Unless you're no longer biased towards Dyson,

I'm not saying the old Vacuumland was a cake-walk to figure out and navigate, but at least for me, it's a lot more difficult.

Like I said, it feels like everything that made this site special (aside from it's subject matter), was ripped from it and replaced with a generic template. It's kind of like how Mcdonalds resturants used to have their own unique looks and colors, but now almost all of them look like grey boxes...

I just figured this out now, but the new Vacuumland logo is an AI generated copy of the original one. That really gets under my skin, as I'm not a fan of AI "art" at all.

I agree, Human. While I never really looked at the Vacuum of the Day page very often, it was kinda neat being able to see ads/brochures for obscure vintage machines. However, the color-coated forums are something that I'll also greatly miss. I'm having trouble just getting to the main page of...

It's over. Classic Vacuumland is no more. All of this came as a huge shock to me. I was just refreshing the site, with one second it being the old design, and the next it being this new one. I saw the site creator's thread on how he wanted to "pass the torch" to someone else in terms of running...

There was a thread a while back on a similar site to this. From what I remember, it turned out to be an online appliance store for military families, as each machine (Maytag Hoovers) was rated at 240v, as these families apparently travel around the globe a lot. Oh, and they were out of stock...
