I have a trailer in a trailer park that has no hydro. I am looking for a chargeable vacuum not so much for floors but for cleaning window sills,mattress and crevices. Something with lots of tools. What is the best brand and that holds the charge the longest? Anything but a Dyson.

Noticed my parents kitchen floor could use a good scrub. It is lino with a bit of a texture and looks kinda grubby.How do you use a floor polisher on it? Do you mop and then scrub it or do you really have to soak it?

I have a Heritage Kirby that started to smell like burning rubber. I took it to a vacuum store and had it checked and a new belt put on. Same thing. Two minutes into vacuuming it starts to smell like burnt rubber. What is going on? The little green light doesn't light up anymore either. Still...

This Kirby was left in a rental house I was painting and was heading for the garbage. I brought it home. I have not been paying attention. How old is it? At least it works but the brush roll is seized and will not turn. The belt is still in one piece.

I was out for a walk and found this vacuum at the curb. It has to be an old lady's vacuum. So well cared for. Even with the tape on the hose, it still has great power. Little use on the power head.

I know nothing about the Regina vacuum. I got it and the polisher for $15.00

This vacuum is dangerously close to going into the garbage. I saved it from the dumpster in 1999. The lady that tossed it had put on a new plug and it wasn't on right. My room mate fixed it and it has worked ever since. The problem is the hose,cord and power head. The power head died ages ago...
