I just sat at the kitchen table and got rid of a couple thousand dollars and I didn't even leave the house. Most of it all bills. After paying our house payment which was $1681.42 then a $212.32 electric bill I'm starting to understand why so many more people are starting to move to the idea's...

I remember one of my neighbors who had a central cleaning system retro fit into their house. They put the inlets in the floor pointing up. This was back in the 80s and last I knew the system was still there.

I don't think it's overrated any any /means. While I'm more of a canister person and don't actually own one. I love the idea of being able to detach the pod and move around rather than carry around the extra. Cleaning the car is easier because you don't have to haul around the extra bulk. I...

I would have to ask the question of what were they trying to suck up and how much? My mom had one similar to that and never had that issue. I wonder if they were doing one of those vacuum video's for You Tube where they empty the trash can on the floor and trying to vacuum it all up. That...

Lets not forget... The famous Hoover Z. Hated by many. I actually though they were cool machines. The only problem was that they weighed 500 pounds. LOL> It was just a cool looking design.I tried one and when I tried the suction from the hose it didn't feel like the suction was all that good.

My mom had the Red Hand Vac with the attachments. I always wanted a Broomvac with attachments and a PowerPak.

I miss the 80's and 90's Dirt Devils. The original Broomvac, Power Pak and Hand Vac. Those were great machines.

Finding attachments. MY guess is because all of the old machines are gone at this point. Keep in mind that units like what you are looking for were way back before the internet, before Ebay, Facebook Market Place and here. When the vacuum died it was discarded and a new one was purchased...

Is it possible to make a video of how to hook up the attachments and how to how up the carpet head after the attachments? I've always wondered about that?

Could you imaging how heave they would be? The dust cup would weight a ton and make the vacuum itself a lot heavier.

I have the Avalir Second Generation Black and Blue and I love it. I use it pretty often, but still revert back to my Rainbow or Aerus Classic. But they still can't make any improvements. At least with Rainbow they find ways to improve the model.

You can find hoses cheap on Ebay and some in beautiful shape. I have never upgraded my hoses to internal wiring for a couple of reasons. They are more expensive to replace and the handles feel to awkward when you are trying to use them. I hang the hose on a hook in my laundry room and it...

The Healthy Home. I always liked that one. I was surprised it went away so quickly.

While I haven't been there for a while. Science and Industry had a Electrolux and GE on display. I think the Smithsonian has a Electrolux on display.

Sorry I'm running late getting back to the party. Kirbyklekter. You are describing my or our normal Saturdays. This was a fun thread. It's always fun to see how other people manage their household. I have been seriously been considering getting something cordless to just get through...

Yesterday was a great example. Last week was a crazy week. Saturdays are really the only day we have time to get caught up. Normally I use the vacuum for everything. Once a month I use it to knock cobwebs, vacuum furniture and lampshades. You get the idea. We have a cat Noodles and a dog Rosie...

This was a fun thread. Thank you all for the great responses!!!

I'm guessing it was a Hoover.

Paul. Thank you so much!!!!!

I think it was the Are You Being Served. It looks familiar.
