That's a design that I haven't seen before. Great pickup! My family had a 1998 or so Powerline Bravo II Boss--- I swear it had just about every Eureka name under the sun printed on the thing. LOL Ours cleaned very well but always smelled like burnt rubber despite my checking the belt and...

That's a shame about the cordhooks on your machine being broken during shipping. You should be able to find parts on eBay or from a vac shop. The Royal version you have is based on this which was based off the Windtunnel Supreme upright. Thanks for the compliments guys!

The Rainbow E2 Black is the best Rainbow you can get out of any other. There is a big difference between the E series and the E2. In addition to the motor being a dual speed it is also a cooler temperature running brushless motor. Very similar motor used in many air cleaners. There are no...

Very cool looking machine but it was outside a while so be careful what you find inside...

Happy Sunday and Happy July! Just figured I would share the latest edition to my collection. I bought this Hoover Tempo Breathe Easy last weekend locally. This unit is a TTI unit with CWP brush roll around 2009. I remember Walmarts carrying this model. Despite how it is branded, it is...

RoyalFan103, I agree! Great job posting a photo of that gorgeous PowerMax Delux S3606 canister. That was a hot color scheme!

The Aero was a nice looking suction unit. Not quite as common as some others. The last of the Aero suction unit body style was the Powerline canister. They were power nozzle canisters on the market at same time as WorldVac. A more economy line with cord wrap storage. There was a white and...

Cleaning Businesses tends to have several machines and not one. The company needs something versatile with the right tools to do a job properly and there really isn't a cookie cutter machine to excel for every circumstance. A vac that does excellent on low pile commercial carpet, isn't always...

Photos look great! Glad you all had such a great time. Kudos to the collector with a marvelous array of GE/ Premier vacuums as they are great vacuums. I have never tried their power nozzle canisters but I have tried two uprights and enjoyed them.

I could be wrong, but I suspect that is a genuine replacement bag from Hoover and the original bag was vinyl in either white or blue. Still a great machine and the cloth bag would be better filtration over the vinyl. Some wax rubbed on the zipper should smooth it out some. If it breaks, a...

Incandescent bulbs in general are a little more yellow than flourescent or LED. I upgraded various power nozzles of mine to LED a little while back. Here are some photos of old versus new LED.

Ben, I know that model, a collector brought one to the Missouri convention last year Canned hams are good machines. I've always wanted to try the Brandywine Canned Ham 1289 but have never come across one. EurekaPrince, yes I agree. I am surprised that Eureka never really had a furniture...

I tried to take apart a Quadraflex motor and ruined it. I don't recommend doing that. Supposedly some vac shops have had luck standing the motors on end and letting aome oil seep into the bearing.

Some of these came from FB vac group pages but here's a gathering. Unfortunately, I'm missing the Express canister. The Express was a great machine with VG3 RugMaster nozzle.

Bring back bagged vacs and power head canisters I realize that canisters were never the true forte of Hoover but they really had some great ones! We need them back! Just imagine the possibilities that could be made with a tweaks to old model designs: Rubber coated wheels Automatic and manual...

The name is what it is because of company sale... Electrolux AB of Sweden was corporate owner of many appliances and floor care companies over the years. Over time they have sold off various lines. Electrolux vacuums as we know it was one of the first to go. I'd have to do research but I...

The Platinum canister is extremely quiet and extremely powerful. I was always curious about them myself for a bit especially when I came across a friend who had a few in his shop but no hoses. I ordered a hose and I was able to try the machine when it finally arrived. Unfortunately, I have a...

Great find, looks like a nice machine. I had a similar one growing up but it only lasted 16 months in our home. It cleaned well but was loud and went through U belts quick.

Unfortunately Quadraflex brush strips got discontinued many years ago. I tried to get Convertible, Panasonic, VGII strips to fit the slot, something and no luck unfortunately.

Happy Anniversary Vacuum Cleaner! I'm an 80s child and my family primarily had Hoover but we had some other machines too over the years. My current selection is widely varied from a Dirt Devil Featherlite upright, many Hoovers but also two Simplicitys, two Aerus canisters and more. One of my...
