    Shark Trailblazer

    I left this on the rare Shark vacs post but wanted to make a post solely about it, since I found out about it only about 3-4 years ago and saw one of these surprisingly in a Savers around Christmastime. Anyone here ever have this? I like the dark blue of it and it looks like kind of a cool...

    Ahhh. remember when......

    For instance.... The Maytag Hoover era was filled with quirks and flaws but the innovation was still there and genuine. No 2 products from the brand were the same. Windtunnels, Elites, Fold Aways, Twin Chambers, V2s. Bissell had Powerforce, PowerPartner, Healthy Home, Velocity etc. What does...

    Ahhh. remember when......

    Huskyvacs How true this is. You can't even go into a store now without mistaking everything else for Shark or Dyson. And even then, the Hoovers, Bissells, and ESPECIALLY Eurekas have sort of went down? There wasn't many Hoovers the last time I went to Target. Vacuum stores and thrift stores are...

    Ahhh. remember when......

    JustJunque And that's what makes this site so great. We share our passion for vacuums even when we come from different eras in vacuum cleaner history! It's awesome when you think about it. And I don't want to speak for others but I think some of us can agree, whether we reminisce over seeing...

    Ahhh. remember when......

    When I was little we had a local store chain called "National Wholesale Liquidators" that unfortunately went bankrupt in like 2007-08. They would have stuff new in box that was discontinued a few years earlier, like the 7 amp version of the Hoover Widepath, before they switched to 12 amps. One...

    Ahhh. remember when......

    Vacuum cleaner aisles at the big box retailers looked like this and it wasn't just Sharks and Dysons or brands mimicking Sharks and Dysons? Good times.

    Rare Shark Vacuums?

    This is the only real photo online of the Shark Trailblazer. This actually popped up at a local Savers around Christmas and I had a temptation to get it. The only thing that kept me from doing so was the numerous reviews of early Shark vacuums having an overheating problem. Anyone know how...

    Rare Shark Vacuums?

    This is unusual I think in the UK they sold most of what we knew as Shark in the US under other brands. Don't know what the brand is but it is the same exact machine as the OTHER Shark Spectra in a ruby red. This IMO looks better than the silver.

    Hoover Dimension in Red

    convertible18 That one is pretty elusive too! Definitely among the more uncommon with the preferred bag housing and the caddy vac powerhead. Most likely sold around the same time as the Dimension above so circa 2002-2003. One of the very last elites with the 12 amp motor before they were...

    Hoover Dimension in Red

    Hold onto this!!!!! For a first Elite find you struck some gold! Thats IMO is one of the rarest Elites out there. A super elusive machine. I saw one like that at Walmart EONS ago, and the translucent red looks really nice!

    Anyone have this infomercial?

    This was one of the very first vacuum infomercials I ever saw and my real introduction to Shark vacuums. Anyone have this or know where this one might be?

    Anyone having luck with estate sales in there area?

    huskyvacs Happened with me this past year and it made me kind of lose interest. Had all sorts of luck in previous years but atleast I managed to get a rare mega boss at the very end. So id hope 2024 it picks up again tbh.

    An unexpected surprise!!!!!

    All cleaned out! All it needed was a light dusting but it looks amazing! I took the sticker off cause I thought it looked much better without it. Only thing is the door is locked on but a bit finicky, but Eureka used to use cheap plastics so it's no big surprise. Overall very pleased I found this.

    An unexpected surprise!!!!!

    Just wanted to ask..... For a temporary time of course, can a hoover z bag fit in it? What type of Eureka bag do these take? This is my first ever Eureka Bravo style boss LOL

    An unexpected surprise!!!!!

    This has to be a vacuum I'd never thought I'd actually get from a thrift store because of how illusive and rare it is. A EUREKA MEGA BOSS!!!!! Sounds really good too and I can't wait to put it to good use!!!!!! Had a really good week this week so this ending it off was the icing on the cake. Saw...

    What happened to the OnePwr?

    Vacuumdevil Quiet and deep cleans the carpets like nothing Ive used before! Only thing is the bag sometimes smells of the dog hair sucked up but thats cause the installed bag is always generic material. Cant wait to put one of my Charcoal Oreck CC bags in it!

    Hoover Preferred styled "Legacy"

    ryan1994jeep Thats actually a really nice vac! I like how it has the door storage on the side like that. Always liked the green and gold color scheme on those late 90s Hoovers. The Futura and Dimension II also had that color scheme.

    Hoover Preferred styled "Legacy"

    Facebook Marketplace lately has had the most interesting units. This one in particular is one of them. I know there is a Preferred styled "Legacy" with a dirt finder and the standard Elite styled hood, but never this one with a Dimension styled hood. Cant make it out if its green or blue, both...

    The COOLEST vacuum i've ever used!

    TTI With you there on that one, not my favorite era. Only liked 3 machines of the TTI Hoovers, this being one of them, but unlike others the build quality is strong and has its own feel. Maytag will always be my favorite era personally, with its ups and downs.
