    Odd Hitachi cylinder vac

    We had one quite like that in the late 60's when I was very young and my father was stationed in Japan. I think I have a picture with it sitting in the kitchen. I will have to look through the albums.

    I was just offered a Rainbow D3C Vacuum for $20

    I'd take it... I always am looking for a cheap Rainbow. One of the few vacuums I've not personally used.

    What should i pay for a model 28?

I hate to 'enlighten' them sometimes... but it is necessary on occasion. I am known in my area as a collector and repairer of...

    Ebay Situation

    Charles,   I know exactly how you feel. I've been hurt badly in the past, and like you I've learned that what others think of me is none of my business. It's not easy but it works. I find myself offended on these pages by those who are quick to speak poorly of others and to be hateful and...

    Aerus LaundryPro

    They are exactly the same machine. Both companies are subsidiaries of Aerus Holdings. However, the latest version, which is not for sale on Amazon or anywhere except from an Aerus or Vollara salesperson, generates much less ozone as a by-product of the process.... but they do produce ozone. Most...

    1959's The New Look in Vacuum Cleaners

    I could not agree with you more regarding the ineptitude of CR. If I want to know what to scratch off my short list first I check to see if CR has recommended any of them....

    Dyson video.....

    Exciting?? Not really, just another robot vacuum which really doesn't do much and is poor value for money.

    The 1960's just Exploded

    D-T,   That is most definitely not a toy. It is a savings bank to encourage thrift and savings toward ones very own Electrolux cleaning system.   Tom

    collections...

    Mine are on shelving, lower shelves and tops of bookcases, on and under the buffet in the dining room, tucked under my bed and even under the coffee and end tables. They are grouped primarily by age or design or shown as singular pieces if particularly good examples. I have an Electrolux Model...

    I'm on the radio again

    Having lived in Ireland, France and Germany for a total of 9 years, I can assure you, D-T, that the vast majority of cylinder/tank vacs offered in the EU do not come with powered nozzles, even as an available option, except in Germany where Miele, Bosch and Sebo all offer optional powered...
