    What exactly is the difference?

    Let's not forget, most? All? Shop vac style are a bypass motor, dirty air and water not going through the actual motor. My poor neighbor tried to use a 5 gallon Shop-Vac as her only vacuum very loud, very clumsy and not satisfactory.

    Yesteryear Grocery Shopping & True Value Trading Stamps

    We had s&h green stamps and blue chip stamps here,in stores and gas stations. I remember a lot of licking and sticking in the books! Catalogs to shop which told how many books to acquire the items. I still have many which we received after redeeming the books. Took months to save enough for much...

    New Big-Box Vacuums?

    I have that Ryobi stick vac, a Christmas present from the other half. With his military discount $89 at Christmas. It has a very irritating sound to the brush roll so that it pretty much just sits there parked. Great agitation with the brush roll. Just fair suction.

    Cats next to vacuun cleaners

    Thanks Barry, Felix is probably 18 lbs, Crowley 15? But Felix is a lot of cat and muscle, Crowley is a bit soft and plump. The female looks very much like Felix but half his size. They are both eight and Crowley is nine
