Anniversary Edition Thanks to both panasonicvac and Durango 159 for putting up with my temper tantrum. I regretfully admit my difficulty posting this particular entry was human error.  Nevertheless, I appreciate both your comments. I have heard the problem about the actuator arm.  I always make...

I am on my third post for this vacuum! This stupid web site has kicked me out...and very thought-out text has been deleted. Because of my irritation...I will say my Anniverary Edition Wind Tunnel vacuum is an aggressive and compliant source for effective floor cleaning. I am so pissed off that...

I gotta tell ya...this S645 does better at carpet cleaning/grooming than my Kirby G7D. Granted I replaced the standard metal "beater bar" brushroll with the more 'classy' all alumium brush roll (found on the higher 670 models)...which leaves a less "trailer park death match" result...and a more...

Yellow bristle brush; headlight... Thanks for the great comments! In response to Durango, I do like how the replaced yellow bristle brush grooms my carpets as opposed to the old plastic brush (almost approaching thr grooming value of my aluminum non-beater bar brush I have installed in my...

Interesting to read you report yours are 15 inch. My "Lite" model boasted a 14" inch cleaning area ideal for small homes (at the time was ideal for me).  I own a new Mexico-made Anniversary Windtunnel Self-propelled (ironically less-favored than my Lite) which screams its 15-inch berth as it...

<span style="font-size: 15.914351463317871px;">This is only one of three Hoover Cleaners I own made in the U.S.A. This model I purchased in 2001 before my interest in vacuums necessitated the desire to begin a collection. Manufactured in the original No. Canton Ohio facility, this cleaner has...

Turbo head The Shark lift away also has a turbo head of that design...with the addition of felt litter pickers lining the Bottom of the plate. I very much agree that the pivots boost that nozzle's performance tremendously.

Kirby G7 D Thanks! I located your thread regarding your machine. It looks like yours was an earlier model (demonstrated by the yellow striping of which mine doesn't have). My serial # indicates mine is one of the last runs (2006 I think). I agree with you on the tech drive -- it is much...

I have here my Diamond Edition G7 Two Speed Kirby I have owned for about 8 years. From the 15 or-so-vacuums I own at the moment, I say this beast sports the best airflow in my bunch...only competing with my Sanitaire S645 Upright carpet "monster". I love this machine for its build quality, it's...

Hoover Convertible Model 707 Thanks for the good wishes, John! I'm sure this machine will continue to be the workhorse it has proven to be -- quite a Clydesdale indeed :)

Here are some snapshots of my fabulous Model 707. I have been informed this model is an early '70's Convertible model; however, the machine has stood the test of time quite well. There are a marginal number of gouges, scratches and scuffs for its age. All cosmetic boo boos aside, the motor hums...
