    HOOVER CONVERTIBLE BELTS

    Rob, unfortunately Hoover do not have any representative. Here is a rare make; if you can find any Hoover it's just somebody has taken it from abroad. Your suggestion is the most rational thing, BUT as there's no support from the maker here, well that's the problem. Anyway I believe I have...

    collection of vacuums

    Michelle, IMHO you do right, if that's what you make you happy, go on. I don't think you need help at all!. Just enjoy you life. Personally I don't like to be so overstuffed, BUT this is questionable. Just be yourself, be careful with chainsaws, like electric knives they can be dangerous. Hugs Gus

    Advice on a find!

    This kind of machines are for buffering floors. They're not good cleaners, just absorve, suction some dust, but are not real vacuum cleaners. Besides they're not useful for waxing, since they are not intended for this other use. They just buff. This is not related exclusively to Hoover brand...

    Electrolux Group B-61 Buffer/Shampooer

    Hi!. I used to have one of this, just the same colour. I assume it's Brazilian, but could be Chilean. Anyway, though Electrolux it's my preferred make, sorry John, this one it's not specially good quality. One or two years after we bought it, it started to fail, the motor worked but the brush...

    Electrolux Bag Brigade

    @ Christopher, that's exactly the idea I had in mind, but apparently I misunderstood you were saying you were the most expert here, so I thought what about the other people here who are real experts? I'm not any expert at all!, but there is a number of people that they DO, so I felt offended...

    Electrolux Bag Brigade

    @ Christopher, sorry, but how bad sounds " I am by no means the biggest Lux expert here ". It looks like a lack of humbleness or a too young person with little experience for talking of himself. Ok, sorry if I understood the wrong way. Gus
