    vorwerk

    I just found this website. I did not know we could get Vorwerk here in the USA. This company is in Los Angeles. I do remember when I first started working for my company we had many Advance Mighty maids which were rebadged Vorwerk's. I kick myself for not keeping one...

    new sanitaire

    Has anyone seen the new Sanitaire light weight vacuum? Duralite can't match it up to anything I have seen before. Could it be a completely brand new design? http://www.sanitairevac.com/commercial/products/duralux/sc9050.html

    Why I need to stay the hell out of the thrift stores!

    American Lincoln

    Can anyone give me any info on this vacuum. My grammer school had this machine when I was a kid. Of course like most children I would go back to school after school and help the janitor vacuum the carpets. I kind of remember it being a bad vacuum. It would always pop the belt and send that cap...

    Oreck XL21

    I too am not a great Oreck fan but received the new x21in black as a gift. I am pretty impressed. It's light weight, quiet and grooms the carpet(even low pile) very well. Funny they send you a paper bag for use first. They tell you to vacuum your carpet with your old vacuum first, then use the...
