    I Must Be Dreaming....

    Very Awesome find. There was a Riccar at a thrift store near me for only $25 but it was a late 90's/2000 model. I woulda grabbed it but i was short on cash and it had no attachments duct tape on the handle and was packed with smelly pet hair.

    Very nice..Congratulations

    What do you think is the worst household chore?

    Ironing and folding clothes. I like hanging some of my shirts on hangers to dry. Then all I have to do is fold my jeans in half and hang those.

    Austin Mini Meet April 2013

    Love it Looks like an awesome tome as always! Boy those vac take me back..IIRC the Singer was quite a big seller around here, but hard to find used. They were about $150.00 back then.Am I correct in thinking Eureka Style V can be used in those? Like the older Singer Total Cleaning System.

    Singer 'Twin Turbo Power'

    I like them.. Ive never seen the Singer version with a cord rewind in the newer version. But I sis used to have a 2 speed Singer from the early 80's with a cord reel and 2 speed toggle on the handle..The cord winder was set up more like the Eureka F&G with cordaway.

    Hoovers Used in Schools Back in the Day

    In my elementary school when I started in 1986 we had carpet in half of the kindergarten class and the janitor would occasionally come in with a Hoover commercial with the decade type hood in cream and brown with an orange shake out bag. By the next year they had switched to the blue...

    Good Bissell Experiences

    Yes... I have. There not the best at deep cleaning but not bad girl the price. I had a lift off for just over 3 years spending its last year in a commercial environment. Dad "borrowed "it for a local elk's lodge and the cord shorted at the base. Other than that as long as the filters were clean...

    Look What I Just Got in the Mail!

    Very nice! I think you would have to poke around on ebay or and old hardware store to find the solution, but any steam cleaner soap will work. Bissll, Hoover, etc.. Good luck with it. Kenny
