    Portapower with an identity crisis

    Bits & Such Kenny, Thank you for the fast responce. Those accessories look to me as if they belong to an european machine, are they 1 1/4" or 30 whatever mm.? ON a side note if you keep collecting vacuums at this rate, you'll need to move into the garage so your vacuums can...

    "NOTICE" P.O.D Hoover

    At the bottom of the bag on the Hoover "POD" it does say "empty after each clean", true of all older machines. Look through your bagless or HEPA things and see if it isn't about the same. The more things change, the more they stay the the same! Burn-up that leticity baby! thekiz
