bag check lamp thanks for answering my question vintagerepairer. what I cant understand now is that on the later pure powers like the red and grey one that is in my shed, on further studying I have noticed a blanking plate where the bag check indicator l.e.d would have been, surely it is...

maintaining if you maintain a vacuum, it can last you years. but the people of today just throw them out for silly reasons. I have seen vacuums in my time that have just been thrown out just because the belt has snapped or there is a simple to remove blockage. if you maintain a vacuum cleaner...

vax 6131 your right!!! you should have bought it when they were new they were about 150.00 but since the vax 6131-T is taking over you can buy them brand new now for about 85.00. if you want a vax 6131-T brand new that can set you back 150.00 to 200.00

this was a vacuum that my neighbours gave to me, just like some others in my collection. for some reason they put black paper round the bucket even though they only used it once before giving it to me. I have vacuumed the house with it and now its time to wet wash but I thought I would post a...

here are a few picks of a vax 6131 in normal everyday vacuuming mode. this was another vac the neighbours gave to me because they know I am in to all this stuff. for some reason they decided to put black paper round the bucket even though they only used it once before giving it to me. I have had...

I am too! some people are just so wasteful. I am sort of glad they skipped it though because if they didn't it wouldn't be mine they would still have it. I cant understand why they stopped putting the bag check indicators on the later pure powers. I have a red pure power which I bought three...

this vacuum isn't part of my collection as such. its just something the neighbours gave to me and if I didn't take it they said it was going to the tip. its just your everyday bagged upright vacuum cleaner. this one is about 9 years old. its not new looking and hasn't been kept looking lovely. I...

isn't it just!? I am made up with it!!! and all for free!

bagged! bagged vacuums are easier to empty and the filters tend to stay clean a lot longer. when you empty a bagless machine unhygienic dust fly's everywhere! the filters clog a lot more. on the whole I prefere a bagged machine I have a tiny workshop and when I vacuum that I tend to use a...

I will do just that :)

wasn't sure weather this was vintage or contemporary, so I put it in both. if you want a more detailed description of this vacuum and how I got it, please go and look it up in the vintage forum.

I didn't do too bad for myself... considering this was in my neighbours skip! I was walking round my neighbourhood about 8 months back and saw a dark green handle pointing at the skip. they had also binned a cabinet which was on top of the hoover which was very heavy. I pulled and pulled and...

I saved this vac from getting thrown out by its owner. unfortunately he had binned the hose and attachments earlier and I saved this just before he binned this as well! I am hoping since Christmas is coming up I could buy them as a present for myself!

a few pics of my Kirby legend 2 from 1989.

To be fair i have also liked the dc03!

My favourite dyson vacuum is the dc01, whats yours, just wondering?

this is one of the vacuum cleaners in my collection. I rescued it from somebody I know who was about to throw it out. I have uploaded a few pictures of this vacuum. it is in fully working order.
