    Thrift store Vacuums

    I recently saw a Sentria (?) Kirby at a Habitat store and it appeared to have all the attachments. They were asking $300. There was a good sheen of dust on it. It's probably been sitting there a while.

    ebay seller selling broken merchandise.

    This is what I like about Ebay Although you rarely need to use it, if there is a problem, you can return or negotiate a settlement. Also, there's nothing wrong with a party advertising a broken product as long as they are honest about the condition. People need to know what to expect. If...

    Thrift store Vacuums

    Edgar How bad is it? According to your profile you have 29. Is that the truth? You have to keep calm and show no fear. If the vacuums see you crying...it's all over for you. You may as well resign yourself to a house over run with them. I myself had upwards of 70 vacuums, but it wasn't...

    Kenmore LG made canister hose ripping

    yes, I know it's a bagless bad design that way. Surely it could be converted to bagged. I bought one of these new in 2010 for $49.99 and didn't care for the bagless part either. It's just a cute compact vacuum.

    Kenmore LG made canister hose ripping

    seriously? You want to get rid of this vacuum because an inch of hose needs to be removed? All you should have to do is press in the 2 or 3 tabs around the wand that hold the hose in place with a flat-head screw driver. Once removed it should be rather easy to see how you can cut off that...

    Hoover U4901 tools

    My mother bought a eureka upright around 1980 and it had a separate parts piece you could put on the bottom to use the hose. I don't remember it having a wheel.

    Looking for info on Montgomery Ward Vac

    Yes, if you vacuum up anything wet or even damp with these and don't clean it out after each use AND let it completely dry it will turn into a rusty mess. Frankly, even if you DO clean them out appropriately they will still rust. ----- Beside that, why are these so unattractive? 55...

    Hoover U4901 tools

    The wheel was basically to work in conjunction with the other wheels on the upright to turn it into a canister vacuum with the hose. In practical terms, people who put these hoses on are using them for stationary things like cleaning a car and really don't need to move the vacuum. It was...

    Carpet Washer Method

    YES "Oh, there's also a squeegee attachment for hard floors that supposedly work with this model " It works great to gently wet, scrub, and suck up the mess. The hot air exhaust also blows onto the floor helping it dry in quick time. What I've done on occasion is spray your hard floors with...
