    Removing rust

    I've used Evaporust on a lot of rusty sewing machines (my other weird hobby) with great results. You can get it at many auto parts stores, or order it online. http://www.evaporust.com

    Oreck Magnesium

    I really like Orecks, but this one is just weird looking to me. Kind of got a grasshopper thing going on. I'm not sure I could warm up to it.

    The original Hoover Elite upright

    I have one of the 350's. Mine is beat all to hell. It's seen a lot of hard use over the past 20 years, but it's still working pretty well all things considered.

    is this worth $60

    I love my Oreck, but $60 seems a little high. I got my rebuilt model at Big Lots for $99. So far mine hasn't had any blockages in the hose, but I tend to vacuum fairly often, so that may help avoid that problem. If something happened to mine, I'd pay $60 for that one and wouldn't feel like...

    NIB Heritage II

    I bought one in 1985 (lost in a divorce in 1987). We paid $750 for ours with the rug shampooer. I loved it!

    Oreck American Heritage

    Not sure if anyone will read a post on a thread this old, but I gotta say I'm liking my Oreck. I particularly like that the head is small enough to get between the legs of chairs and it lies flat enough to get under stuff. I can't say I love how hard it is to push over my densely piled rug in...

    Oreck American Heritage

    Thanks for the heads up vacman117. I got one too. Mine is all gray. First Oreck I've ever had or used. It seems OK. Seems odd not to have attachments to play with. I do like the long handle.

    It Followed me home... my first connstellation!

    Is it wrong to love a vacuum for its color?

    I am really grooving on the Kenmore 2029219 in shocking tangerine. I'm a big fan of other Kenmore products. My only experience with a Kenmove vac was my Mom's canister vac purchased in the late 60's. It had a very long life with absolutely no pampering or loving care of any kind. If it was...
