    I have lots of vintage bags

    Hi Richard, Do you have any bags for a GE canister vacuum? (You should have seen the look we just got when we asked the sales lady at Sears!)

    Using a "brand new in the box" Kirby 519 today ... or is there a better way?

    Brandon, We decided to keep it unused and in the package! You guys are right on here that great vacuums with minor use can be had cheaply (we're going to show our latest in a second). So it seems a shame to put this one to use. We're still holding onto it and not really sure what to do just...

    Anyone have a Eureka 200 Series vac?

    We hate to see manuals without their machines! We've got a manual for one of these. If you have this vac and want the manual, we'll send it to you for free if you do the postage.

    The Great Vacuum Debate

    Here's an addendum to Exhibit B, a closeup of the Regina. Such a nice little vacuum! Needless to say, we definitely have got the vacuum "bug" now! The great debate remains. We feel that the Simplicity ought to be quietly retired, but the Regina is only good for small jobs or daily spot...

    The Great Vacuum Debate

    Now here is Exhibit B, a nice Regina Electrikbroom that seems like it was barely ever used. We picked it up at an estate sale for $2! What we love about it is that the mustard-yellow color matches the linoleum and color scheme of our kitchen and laundry, which is where we've been using it. We...

    The Great Vacuum Debate

    Ok, you guys saw the pictures of our 519: http://www.vacuumland.org/TD/THREADS/VINTAGE/5331x18.htm We have a few more vacuums (although not quite as glamorous) to share, and our current dilemma of which one(s) to use and what to do! Below you will see Exhibit A, which we intend to replace with...

    The beautiful (empty!) bag... still smells like the factory!

    Using a "brand new in the box" Kirby 519 today ... or is there a better way?

    Hi everyone! First of all, thanks to all of you for all the tips and responses. I apologize for the delay in reply. Yes, the Kirby came out of a rambling ranch in North Olmsted on the west side of Cleveland. My husband remembers that there was a lot of other Kirby-related memorabilia there, and...

    Using a "brand new in the box" Kirby 519 today ... or is there a better way?

    Hello! We are the happy owners of a very unique Kirby 519. It's the complete package with all accessories, and all of it is mint in the box and never used. All the wrapping paper is still on everything! We bought this from the estate of a Kirby dealer and we've owned it for five years, but...
