    Parcel arrived, what could it be?

    Nice. I love the vacs and the rugs. I'd like to find a Hoover rug someday. Its a shame things arrive damaged when you pay good money to have things shipped. Althought sometimes it had to do with how they are packed, and also there are soooo many packages that got round the world each day/hour/...

    Rug Doctor Mighty Pro - Water Recovery

    I agree I have the same RD, and I have been using it for 5 years and I usually get back about 80 % of the water in the recovery tank. I do notice I have to make extra dry passes on very worn carpet, but I also maitain mine. I wash the filter screens after every job and keep the hoses and nozzles...

    Please recommend me a vacuum for cockroaches

    Be sure if you use the Shop-Vac to use a bag or if you go the water/bleach way toss the filter. Rocheseggs can live in the smallest crevice even if a pregnant roach is killed her eggs can surviveoutside the body for I forget how long lol. But long enough to hatch if they are almost cooked. I...

    Fantom Wildcat

    Neat. I had the Westinghouse Unplugged. It was ok for a battery vac, but my battery didn't hold a charge after about a year. IIRC the filter on mine was foam. Mabe the thing on the back is to "rest" the hose while using the attachments?

    Dumpster Hoover -

    Scratch that about the bag being a dust cup. i just realized looking at it again that it has the lower cord hook. Mabe it was a shak-out bag? But I belive it would have been orange.

    Dumpster Hoover -

    The bag on it is mostlikely a replacement. This model probably had the dust cup, most commercial Hoovers of this vintage did. That is probably why theres no bag type on the model plate. I just finished refubishing my friends vacuum.It is the same except it has a headlight, hers was dated May 1988.

    Panasonic Power Brush Canister

    Yes Thats one of the two I had. One being the Kenmore version. I wish I still had it/them. The Kenmore I gave away and the Panasonic I parted out when the motor went. They both ran for a long time as my daily downstairs vac. The Kenmore from 1997-2004. I gave it away in 98, and the Pan. ran...

    Eureka Whirlwind Clear Plastic??

    We had them here in stores like JC Penny and Macy's. Sears also sold it under the Kenmore name. I belive it was around 1997/98. They were very expensive for what they were. The PN were one of the best but the filter clogged so fast it quickly lost suction. I beliv they were 3 or 4 hundred bucks...

    Shop Vacs

    Id like to collect Shop-Vacs but theres just no room. I especially liked the early- mid 80's ones. They had so many sizes and colors depending on the store. We got our first Shop-Vac in 1988, it was white with a blue and white can 5 gal. It lasted quite a few years then the can rusted. I didn't...

    Anyone see this yet?

    I seen a commercial for that Shark a few times, I got my Hoover Linx stick at Target marked down to 45.00 in January. I love it, and Im not much of a cordless fan either. I would have just said I wanted it for that price that was marked on it. I belive that IS what they are supposed to do. Im...

    My Newest Acquisition... Let the Bashing Begin!!

    I have one in silver, its both, it also works pretty well, Im actually surprised its lasted 3 years lol. When I had the dog Id use it bagless in the spring and fall when she would shed ALOT, and the bag the rest of the year. Im not a fan of bagless at all but i did like having the option of...

    Hoover Elite 700 PICTURES!!!

    I miss that vacuum, I was stupid too, I picked it out for my grandmother in 1994 it was the only one on the shelf it was on clearence for 64.99. I thought shed like it because it was lightweight but it pulled itself quickly across the flat commercial carpet in her apartment. I figured once the...

    Kenmore canister memories

    Kenmore is my favorite, I especially like the older square hose on front canisters. The last was indeed the gray/black/red "Heavy Duty". They were manufactured 88-89 or 90, but I know there were a few left overs probly on a back stock room shelf till like 1990/91, The Sears near me I seen the...

    Nice =) The MW square was quite common around here in the Eureka badge but the other design, not so much I wish it was.
