Nooooo Don't close the museum! 😲 I haven't visited yet! 😥 Please reconsider. What you have created is important...

Thanks Alex, that is what I thought too. 😃

David, these Clean Obsessed bags claim 5 layers (same as ply, I guess) and are a clothlike material and not paper. They alone filter the air beautifully on the Super J, but in addition to the electrostatic exhaust filter on the Legacy make me a very happy camper!   Chris, thanks for the...

Aaargh! I'm just getting started being involved in some wonderful conversations, and am looking forward to meeting you all someday! Hopefully someone will pick up the mantle and organize future events! Thanks for all you've done! I will come visit the museum in a year or so! Bill

I'm investing a little. Phillip, Jason and Barry, you guys are awesome. I know that you all know how it feels... and that's means a lot to me!   I called Aerus corporate in Virginia today and talked with a nice lady who had a wonderful southern twang! Told her about my two vintage vacs...

I had been looking on eBay for a nice vintage Electrolux Model G to add to my collection, and found one and then lost it due to a "sign-in" glitch while last minute bidding... and I've been devastated for a few days.   It really was a gorgeous example at a medium price.  Would have been over...

If a bagless works for you.... Quietest I've found. Strongest suction I've found. Most diverse and extensive tool selection available. http://https//www.amazon.com/Dyson-DC39-Multi-floor-canister/dp/B0076ZGC04?keywords=dc39&qid=1532281957&sr=8-5&ref=mp_s_a_1_5

I remember when my Mom and Dad split up, of course my Dad needed supplies.. including a new vacuum.  So, as a fledgling vac enthusiast, we went shopping and I pushed him to get, at that time, a moderately prices Eureka ESP upright (I found an image of it on Vacuumland, thanks to Post 184171). ...

Wow Reggie, what a find! So, I guess the consensus is to just wait for a great deal on a good condition vintage model instead of trying to quickly get one at an inflated price. The hunt is on!

Lol.. I know, right!?!   That ad did catch my eye, even though the main body of the G shows more dings and scrapes than the one I lost the bid on, this one comes with all those rare attachments, which I think the metal one is a fogger, maybe, and the glass jar is a sprayer (but for what...

Sounds right... but when will I stop thinking about it!?! Thanks for your support, you guys!    I know you know how it feels.   Bill

Thanks Reggie! Sound advice! I ended up sitting in front of my computer as the eBay clock ticked down to end the bidding time, and as I placed my final bid and hit submit, it refreshed to the eBay sign in screen... and I missed out. Wasn't meant to be on this one, but man was I pissed at...

Thanks Jimmy! Great insights!

Hello all!   I bought my first vintage Electrolux HPR (probably a Super J) a few months ago (See Thread 36690, if interested, it's a good read!) and got the "I need another to represent a different (earlier) era of their design and engineering" notion stuck in my head!   Soooo...  ...

Thanks David!   My Mom had an orange DAM that I used growing up in grade school and then up until middle school.  I loved that thing, especially the hose attaching to the back with the adjustable suction control!   Bill

What is/was the "DAM"?   Pardon my naiveté!   [this post was last edited: 7/18/2018-12:10]

Electrolux Omni-Flo or Hoover Windtunnel? Similar technology? Which came first?

Style, dahling!

Hoover Z by far the smoothest and solid sounding (brushless motor, I believe).  Second would be the DC39 because of it's low dB level and the allowance of the vacummer (is that a noun yet?!?) to utilize and enjoy hearing the strong rush of airflow when using the tools. [this post was last...

OMG Tom, That Singer is soooo gorgeous!
