    Kenmore Magic Blue

    How's the filtration on these? Is the filtration any good? Is it Hepa rated and are the filters expensive to replace? If I knew these were so cool I would have picked one up. One thing that always gets me, though, is small bags. They seem so inefficient and a poor value. No one has complaints...

    Sebo D4

    I like that D4... ...and Sebos in general. I wouldn't hesitate to get one if the opportunity arose. I like the idea of powerful vacuums that are also quiet. I know Miele made their reputation with that formula, but the price of Miele bags upsets me. I would happily own a good Miele, but it...

    Nilfisk Euroclean UZ934. Heard of it?

    I'm glad you've had good luck with this machine. This vac is targeted to such a specialized market that it's hard to find any user reviews online. Thanks for your input. Despite the low airflow specs, it looks like the UZ934 is a reliable, quiet, long lasting, good capacity, well filtered vac...

    My Electrolux 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee

    I discovered mine is a Super J, not a Golden J. There are some scuffs and marks, but not nearly as bad as I recalled. It will clean up well! Thanks for your inspiring restore.

    My Electrolux 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee

    Thanks! Finding out about these machines is fun. I did not realize the Golden Jubilee was that rare. Turns out the one I have may be a Super J, not the Golden Jubilee. It's the same color as the Golden Jubilee but has a more powerful (and noisier) motor, apparently. See the link below. Maybe...

    Old Sanitre (?) at the White House!

    Funny. That's a new or current Sanitaire, I believe. Good to know that the vacs they use for top level government events are the same ones we use at home. Does anyone feel that the pic of the red carpet in front of the White House looks somehow odd or wrong? Does the cleaning service at the...

    My Electrolux 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee

    Wow, that is a fantastic vac in fantastic shape. You are very fortunate! To tell my story, I picked up a Golden Jubilee off a guy from Craigslist. It was pretty beat up. He originally wanted $20 for it and I told him I was interested. He emailed me back to let me know it was still available...

    Nilfisk Euroclean UZ934. Heard of it?

    Does anyone know anything about this machine? I believe it's distributed by Kent. I picked up a used one a while ago for cleaning up after tenants. I could hardly find any information about it outside of the marketing copy from the vacuum store websites. From the looks of it, it's sold...

    Miele S2 Versus Miele S5

    I agree... I'm of the mind that a vacuum company should have somewhere around 5 well-defined, well positioned products in, let's say, their canister line. Any more and it becomes way too confusing for the consumer. I don't want to spend an afternoon dedicated to educating myself on the little...

    Miele S2 Versus Miele S5

    It has a higher number. It has to be better! :P

    I'm getting my first sanitaire today! I'm so excited!!

    You will love it... Sanitaires are great! Be prepared for a more "vigourous" vacuuming experience if you haven't already used a vac with a Vibra Groomer II in it. Depending on how sound your floor is, you may find that the Sanitaire will vibrate it like a sounding board in certain spots. It...

    Kenmore Magic Blue

    I get the impression that a lot of people like the way the Magic Blue performs, just that the bags are on the small side. Did your MB come with a power nozzle? Doesn't a 2-3 year lifespan seem short? I'm hoping to get between 10-20 years on my vacs. I'm partial to machines with a known track...

    The best straight suction canister is...?

    ...a Tristar CXL? Or what do you think? Specifically I was curious if Kirby G5 or G6 kitted out as a canister would challenge the Tristar. What do you think? Both have great airflow. But which is the overall winner? I just moved to a house that has all wood floors. No need for a power nozzle...

    Favorite Daily Drivers..........

    Lovely machines!... Wow. Fantastic looking machines! My daily driver at home used to be my Dyson DC23 canister. It worked well on the carpet we had and had tons of suction for cleaning the mattress, etc. Since then we moved into a house built in 1912, lovely mouldings and trim, we tore out all...

    Lost my love for Kirby...

    Yes... I could use the shampooer, too. Please let me know. I'll cover all shipping and packing of course. Thanks!

    Lost my love for Kirby...

    Also the attachments... I forgot to add, I would be able to use the attachments, as well. Best to you.

    Lost my love for Kirby...

    Hi, Trebor. Sorry to hear of your health concerns. My mother was in the cleaning profession as well. Though I don't think it contributed to her health, I was touched by how she seemed to age over the 8 years I was over on the East coast. But that was her. I hope your health holds up and you are...

    Hyla has arrived

    Yes, the NST pn is the same as with the GST. No rug guard, wide plastic brushroll. Is the GST black? The NST is a nice dark green.

    Windsor Versamatic 14"

    Wow, very dirty vac you've got there! Good luck with the restore. It'll look great when it's cleaned up. I have one of those. Very solid machine! Quiet, too.
