    Vacuum Cleaners in Montgomery Wards & JCP Catalogs

    Reply #14, item G My grandparents had the yellow convertible in reply G. They gave it to me at a young age. I don't remember what happened to it. Do you know what the model number is?

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    Or central vacs owners got tired of dragging out the long hose and bought another vac. That would be the most obvious answer. Either way I don't care. Just thought I would mention it. Collectors are a different breed! Myself included. I don't think our experiences would align with the average...

    1994 Regina Housekeeper plus 8.4 amp

    I have several of the L shaped models. I'm happy you made a Hepa bag. The originals are single ply and the cleaner loses suction within minutes. I need to do that with mine.

    What vacuums do you recommend to people?

    Just to add.. I also think Aerus is on its way out unfortunately! They have closed all stores in Oklahoma. I don't see any of the old brands surviving ten more years if we continue on this trajectory of minimal to no carpet and cheap cordless stick bagless vacs. I'm not trying to be...

    What vacuums do you recommend to people?

    As said. Most people want sticks or cordless bagless vacs. I see bagged vacuums just sit on Facebook marketplace and my booth much more lately than ever before. If a seller thinks they are going to get $100 for an electrolux on marketplace. Forgot it, unless it's a collector!

    Hoover Concept One U4119 - Handle Removal Won't Come off

    I wouldn't pickup any self-propelled vacuum to flip on eBay or any other online service. The shipping is just too expensive.

    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    I go to lots of estate sales. In fact, I went to one on Friday that had a central vac. Every home I’ve been to that has a central vac, always has another upright or canister. Why is that? Just an observation.

    What's the consensus on 90s and 00s Eurekas?

    In my opinion Bravos were a cheap Elite copy. Not many collectors like them. The Excalibur is bulky and has weak tool suction from my experience. The standard F&G platform was and is the still the best from Eureka.

    I'm starting to understand why people are looking at alternative housing.

    Location, Location, Location and Time Period.. As with everything there are variables. I purchased my house in 2014 it's about 1700 square feet. My monthly payment is not that high. My sister purchased roughly the same type of home, same square feet same area and her monthly mortgage payment is...

    Are "lift-off" vacuums overrated?

    Yes, use a tank/canister/central.

    Kirby rug shampoo

    Diversey Dry Foam Shampoo I might try this. I've been looking for an alternative. I've been shampooing carpets on the weekends.  I've had seven clients so far. I first use my B8 with Kirby shampoo to scrub the carpet and then an extractor to extract it. I use a little bit of Hoover Oxy solution...

    Regina Housekeeper Upright Vacuum Model 6308-A - Gets Clogged Leaving Brush Housing

    I have several of those and have never had that issue. Did you disassemble the hood and check the hose? Sounds like bvac6 is right. I think there must be a pin/obstruction, or something stuck in the hose. I see you already put it on eBay with the issue described. I may run into you one day. I do...

    Cats next to vacuun cleaners

    Kind of off topic.. I was just watching this review that some automatic cat litter boxes were killing cats that were bought off Amazon.
