For the money you pay, you’d think they would have a headlight on all the Miele power nozzles. Even the cheapest stick vacs have some LED bulbs on the front of the nozzle.

I love these little Electrolux cookies! All you need is to create a little paper stencil of the Electrolux logo and use frosting sugar to add the logo in white!!!

I think it’s more planned: in the early days of television, show producers were exploring ways to pay for the production and advertising products was a central way to fund the shows from day one. The early tv shows often began with something like “Philip Morris presents” or “I Love...

Hoover and Westinghouse definitely did paid product placement on the early TV comedies like I Love Lucy and Bewitched.

Would love to see more close up details of Arcelik cleaners! So interesting!

As their advertising jingle used to sing: “GE…..we bring good things to life….”

Hoover sold a 120v version of the little Telios up here in Canada as well. Early 1990’s methinks. I liked the fact that it stored three separate attachments right on-board under the hood. Had nice sturdy stainless steel wands.

Doug Smith’s website has a picture of the CGE Swivel Top with the power nozzle (thanks Doug!!!!!). Here is the link: http://smithcollection.altervista.org/ge-premier-hotpoint.html

I think we had at least one Canadian General Electric Swivel Top cleaner with a power nozzle in the mid 1970’s. Pretty sure they were sold at our Consumers Distributing catalogue stores….maybe even at our Canadian Tire hardware stores.

I think it’s worth it. Even if you have to replace the motorized brush roll in 10 years for $250. Here is one: https://www.ezvacuum.com/products/kenmore-kc92sdwfz000-agitator-brushroll. If a person wants a classic bagged Eureka for carpets, just buy a Sanitaire with the ST bag set up. No...

The current Kenmore Elite Direct Drive upright is an excellent carpet cleaner and is top-rated by Consumer Reports. You can shut off the brush roll to vacuum bare floors safely. It’s made in China by the Cleva Company which bought all the vacuum designs from Panasonic when Panasonic stopped...

I had a feeling that the convoluted path the air now takes in the Guard L1 might result in less air flow through the hose. From what I can figure out, the dirty air gets first sucked into the bag as before, but then it goes into a channel on the bottom of the canister and then makes its way...

Just discovered an Italian company named Eureka that produces ride-along industrial floor sweepers. Even the brandname and font look almost identical to the Bloomington Illinois company’s branding!!! Here is the link: https://www.eurekasweepers.com/en/our-story

Does anyone know if the airflow through the hose is worse or better on the Miele Guard L1 vs the old C3? What about the old C1 vs the new compact Guard S1? Curious as to whether the airflow is better on the old models. You really can’t beat the airflow on the old C3/S8 canisters.

Just to clarify what I meant: the Eureka with the brown bag in the first photos is a 250. The Eureka with the blue/green bag in the second set of photos is a 260 with an old 250 brandplate hose port cover instead of the newer plastic 260 hose port cover.
