    Organ/Piano

    My grandfather had one very similar. His was dark walnut and the piano was made by Baldwin.

    Look at this ad for a Riccar canister

    Riccar/Simplicity are assembled in the USA now, this was not always the case. Uprights have been assembled here longer and canisters more recently. You will find older models made in South Korea and accessories made in China. Even today, they are assembled in the USA of 'globally sourced' parts.

    Finaly My Moms first vacuum I was given one,

    Moulinex is a French manufacturer of small appliances. They are very much still around.  They are sold around the world, except in the US where they sell appliances under the Krups brand.

    The Summer of Electroluv: First Dirt

    Phil,   Did you install the new brushroll or are you still using the old one? The wires aren't as fragile as you think. As long as they are properly routed they won't get cut. I've been using my Legacy for almost 10 years and there is zero damage to the wires in the swivel.

    Which Hoover would you have picked?

    The red for me. I'm not a collector of uprights, and the combination of low miles, higher amp motor and clean bag chamber sounds good.... and I don't currently own any red vacuums.... completely arbitrary choice as I know nothing about any of them....

    Wasn't there supposed to be a new Kirby for the centennial?

    If dry foam is making your carpet sticky, you're using either the wrong product, or way, way too much of it.

    Electrolux Model L vac, how to remove hose?

    love my vintage Electrolux vacuums. All of them are stellar performers with great suction/airflow and very, very quiet. My XXX's are still used for hard floors and above the floor cleaning, and later models with power nozzles are my daily drivers.

    The World's Most Magnificent Vacuum Cleaner

    My favorite review... We bought this for 2 year old son who is oppessed with vacuum cleaners. After giving him the book, my husband and I took turns reading this book to him at least 17 times the first night. Perfect for anyone who has vacuum oppessed child.

    The Summer of Electroluv

    Oh ye of little faith. The PN swivel neck likely has a broken wire, or did you press the reset button? Unlike your (okay, tongue in cheek heavy sarcasm coming) cheap ass Cen-tec PN's the Lux will actually trip the breaker rather than snap a belt.  Yes you can bend the contacts a bit further...

    Selling some newer vacuums

    I just can't get past the spewing of dogma and regurgitation of the advert from the telly last night. Not one bit of actual experience but one hell of a lot of opinion. "I saw it on the interwebs, it's TRUE I tell you, it's TRUE" Just makes me chuckle because I'm old enough to know what is going...
