    When Did Vax Hop Into Bed With Electrolux/AEG?

    If one is to evaluate the overall design aesthetic... the references to Dyson in construction an materials is clear if not exact.

    This looks like a Tri-Star copycat

    just a comment... suggested retail and what they actually sold for are horses of very different colors...

    Aerus branch ownership

    yes, some... it runs at 9 or 12 volts off a transformer, but really it is pennies per month I've had no difference in my electricity costs but quite a savings in propane to heat the water.

    What Vacuums Can you "Never Have Too Many Of" ?

    I am struggling here... I don't understand this "too much - too many" idea... whatever the passion, space and bank balance will permit! But on a more serious note one of each and every variation of Electrolux USA and Canada production from birth through the last of the metal bodied machines and...

    My Extensive Collection Part 5

    Electrolux Green brushroll I have 2 of those green brushrolls. They do tear up a fine carpet but they can make a beat down rug look new again too. I pop one in every now and then for the indoor/outdoor carpet in the dogs room, nothing escapes those stiff green bristles. And you do have to pay...

    When Did Vax Hop Into Bed With Electrolux/AEG?

    they are very similar, but not identical. One has a pull out handle the other does not, the hose routing and tools are different, the floor brushes are different, etc. The design is the universal Dyson Clone look of the last 5 years for all bagless uprights and not a few bagged models.

    Reputable kirby dealer wanted

    I know the Kirby Distributor in Reno will take $750 cash at the office, hell he'll probably take $700 at the end of the month just to get one more on the books.... Shipping is another matter entirely, and he's a, how does one put this, jackass to his salespeople but the reality is 7-750 is what...

    Found my own Avacodo dream today

    Mine is a cruiser rather than a bomber... a nearly perfect Kirby D80, just needs a good polish to be as new. Now I need to keep my eyes open for the matching tools.... but I'm not complaining, at $30 it was a bargain, brushroll looks new and not a scratch on it anywhere. Bag is a replacement but...

    Riccar dealer saying TOL canisters unreliable???

    Sounds like crap to me... I have 2 aunts with Riccar TOL canisters. One has an Immaculate and the other Impeccable, neither have had the slightest bit of trouble with them and both are in use every day if not twice a day. My mom has a Simplicity S36 that is several years old and has never had an...

    Aerus branch ownership

    The LaundryPro utilizes a catalytic action to produce hydrogen peroxide, carbon dioxide and other metabolites of ozone to oxidize dirt and oils and sanitize your laundry using cold water.  Wash and rinse is the same process and it really does work very well. I've been using mine just about 4...

    Need a model number for a new vacuum

    According to my local Sears store, the model # is 116.24196 and no spares or parts other than bags are available and it has no replaceable filters. When I get home from the wild, wild west of northern Montana, I will pay the store a visit and see for myself.

    model 115 hoover help !!!

    I believe that the hose for the attachments connects directly to the fan port after removing the cover and belt. It's been a while since I've played with one, but that is what I think I remember. I'm sure one of the Hoover experts will soon correct me if I'm wrong.
