Hello, I have an Ultralux in great shape that works fine except for the top handle has come loose at the back. When the handle moves to the side I can see the screw which has dropped down, but needs to be re-screwed from underneath. My question is how best to do this? Do I really have to take...

I have a vintage Kirby that just needs polishing. It runs fine so no other work needs to be performed. I don't really want to spend $350 to send it to Kirby for them to give it an overhaul. Does anyone know a shop or service that would perform the polishing? I don't have the time or...

newer Royal I have to say I agree about newer Royals--they scream. I had one and it was like having an airplane taking off in the living room--had to get rid of it. Ultimate G quieter!

A friend of mine is needing a new vacuum and wants to spend under $200. She only wants an UPRIGHT and has carpets. Does anyone have any ideas in this price range? Thanks in advance.

I saw this for sale yesterday in a retail store. It's gorgeous. . . and $1500.

I completely agree about the NEW Royals. I had one, and loved the look of it and the power, but it was so loud that I couldn't stand to use it. It was like having an airplane in the living room!

Could anyone recommend a high quality light-weight upright vacuum? A friend of mine is looking for something to replace her Oreck which it turns out she doesn't like. I mean, I think she like's the idea of an Oreck but wants a better version (if it exists). She isn't concerned with price...

quiet upright Thanks for all the advice. I think i'll steer clear of the Miele s7 since I've heard of the hose issue, at least until they get that sorted out. I've heard electroluxes can get bogged down on thick carpet (which I have). Anyone know if this is true?

I'm looking for a new smallish upright that has a more quiet operation. I like the styling of the Sebo Felix. Does anyone have any experience with these they'd like to share? It looks like it would easily topple over! Any other suggestions? Tired of loud machines.

new Electrolux I just looked at this new machine and was very disappointed. It is lightweight but the plastic seems really cheap with the "silvertone" areas looking like spray paint. It's also LOUD . . . louder than the previous models that are still available. I asked the salesman about this...

I have an Electrolux Silverado Deluxe cleaner that has incredible suction, and runs smooth, however, when the power nozzle or sidekick is attached the power cuts in and out according to which way the hose is manipulated--a frustrating way to try and vacuum. Does anyone know if this is...

Beyond LOUD. I had a Royal Everlast 8200 new. While I loved the styling of the machine the noise was intolerable. It was like running a lawn mower in the house! Ended up having to get rid of it because of this, which was sad.

Are these loud vacuums? They look great, but I have a problem with noisy machines. I had to get rid of a new royal upright because of this.

Yes, I am a little confused. A "clog in the sohe". What is the sohe? I'm not familiar with the tech terms. . . but I know I can get it at an aquarium shop!

I have an Electrolux Silverado (1980?) that I've only had a problem with recently. It automatically pops open even with a brand new bag although I've tried setting the dial to "fine dust" as I thought you were supposed to do if this happens. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Noise level This vacuum looks very nice, but since I've never tried one I was wondering about the noise level. Are they reasonably quiet? I have a fairly new Royal that I hardly use because it's so loud! Thanks for any comments.

Co-starring Hoover Although not contemporary, the best role of a vacuum in a movie has to be 1963's Jerry Lewis vehicle called "Who's Minding The Store?" Lewis plays a haples dept. store employee who creates havoc while bumbling from one department to the next. The final scene involves Jerry...
