My favorite Hoovers are the Elites and the Elite styled uprights. They are awesome machines!

My grandmother had quite a few vacuums. First, she had a late 70s Kenmore canister. After the power nozzle broke on the canister, she bought a Kenmore Magicord upright. Other vacuums she had were a Regina Housekeeper, Electrikbroom, a Dirt Devil soft bag upright and a Bissell soft bag upright...

I once trash picked an Oreck that had ice frozen all over the brush roll area. It appeared to have pumpkin seeds frozen in the ice. After I let it thaw, I inspected it further and found the dirt passage tube clogged with dust and debris. After I cleaned that out, I plugged it in and it didn’t...

I have quite a few Reginas. I have a couple of the Housekeepers, a couple of the Electrikbrooms, the Steemer and Dirt Magnet. I love them; they bring me so much nostalgia because my grandmother had them while I was growing up.

I use attachments from other vacuums all the time. The swivel dusting brush from my 70s Kenmore canister works great on my Eureka Mighty Mite. I also use the dusting brush from another Kenmore canister I had on my shop vac.

The worst vacuum I’ve ever used was a Singer Laser Storm. It was a little upright with a detachable hand vac. It was a piece of garbage. It didn’t pick up much. Instead of a belt, the brush roll was supposed to be driven by the air flow. But most of the time the brush roll didn’t turn, therefore...

I love Dirt Devil Hand Vacs. They’re cute little machines. I have a couple of them. When I was a tot, my grandmother gave me her Hand Vac 103. I remember using it to vacuum clippings that fell from the Christmas tree. Aside from the 103, I also have the 500 Series one that has the cool looking...

I love that hard bodied Dirt Devil. I have a red version of that vacuum without the headlight.

I hate those Bissell Quicksteamers. I had one and it never actually cleaned the carpet, it just made the carpet wet. I finally threw that Quicksteamer in the garbage where it belongs.

Years ago, I had a direct air Dirt Devil Featherlite. I was vacuuming near the couch one day and all of a sudden it made a buzzing noise. I flipped it over, took off the base plate and looked but didn’t appear to have a clog. So I took off the nozzle cover and removed the cover to the dirt...

I bought a Kenmore Magicord upright off ebay. I've been wanting one of these for a long time. My grandma had one when I was a kid. This vacuum has a nice design and healdlight.

Here is a Regina Electrikbroom I bought off ebay. It is in very good condition and works great. My aunt had one like this when I was a kid. It brings back so many memories.
