    Vorwerk VK116 ET4 Mighty Maid

    Matching floor & carpet nozzle for it As it is so rare I'd rather offer it here to fit a real RED Vorwerk before it goes to the usual auction sites. Actually it came with a red wet & dry shop vac by Vorwerk, but it will fit all Mighty Maids and Advance machines (preferably red gray color...

    Vorwerk ET 30 powerhead questions

    1986 ? Very good indeed Mikko, that is indeed a very good brush roller for its age. Mind that the bristles should stick out from the base plate about 1 mm (just put a wooden match stick over the opening, once the bristles can cover it = 1 mm = correct setting.) The green light should be fully...

    Vorwerk ET 30 powerhead questions

    Congrats Hi Mikko, good for you, you picked one of the best power nozzles that Vorwerk has made IMHO. I like it even better than the current modern ones. Very sturdy and the 2-way swivel connector is almost indestructable. And it is the only powerhead I know that features real side suction AND...

    Another (of many) eBay Pet Peeves

    no they won't Tried that a couple of times with different wordings. Nothing happens. Ebay just would not move, they care about nothing - only about their clicks.

    Another (of many) eBay Pet Peeves

    NO extras! It is not the extras thing that plagues us here but an old cheap trick from the 90s: You are looking for let's say Miele and up comes (among regular results): Siemens, NO Miele!!!!! *yuk* It was calm for a while on ebay but now they've started that airheaded crap again. An then...

    Hoover Flying Saucer help needed (S 3001)

    hi guys, Just recently I got this nice S 3001 Celebrity. Almost unsused and works fine (motorwise) but that "remote" bellows control as well as the suction settings are kaputt. I cannot make any sense out of these three buttons, must be some bypass for air. There is some scotch tape on the 2...

    Wanted: Hoover brushes and pads for shampoo polisher F series

    Got myself this beautiful F 4084 shampoo polisher by Hoover (in cherry red and black). The machine is shiny as new and works flawlessly. Unfortunately no accessories but the shampoo brushes. So I am looking to get the bare floor brushes for scrubbing and polishing as well, along with scouring...

    Kirby Turbo Groom

    Kirby Avalir Height Adjustment

    comedy show Right. These videos are right in the middle between cheesy Walmart background shangalang and McGuyver series episodes gone household. Anything left to say about that has already been said in the two upper posts. Moreover: I personally think: As long as the Kirby company keeps its...

    Kirby Avalir Height Adjustment

    Not a fan of the "app" crap at all but I am sure it was meant as a joke anyhow. I cannot get this "app" hype at all. Why do we have to transfer every little senseless bit of information out into the orbit, then down back again to the exact spot where you are standing... Will I have to take...
