    New Patriot Vacuum Cleaner...

    A model with the Wessel Werk EBK 340 or EBK360 power nozzle sounds exciting. Both of those offer very strong agitation and headlights. I would not be able to purchase a model if it came with the Sebo ET-1 power nozzle as pictured. I've tried a few various brush rolls as Sebo offers bristles...

    Vintage Kenmore

    STUNNING! That Whirlpool canister with the power head is stunning. Just like a Lady Kenmore canister but attractively styled. Nice! I think I tried a Pink Lady Kenmore power team but don't remember the experience.

    Tub style carpet machines

    Hi Fan of Fans! The Bissell Bissell Big Green PowerBrush was only meant for use as a Carpet Shampooer. It did not double as s Dry vac like the Kenmore. The 3 switches were: Suction Spray Brush They were 3 motor systems with the motorized carpet scrubbing head.

    Vacuum recommendation

    Miele! It sounds like you already have some Sebos. Get yourself a nice Miele. I'm not good with their model numbers. However, they have a navy blue fully featured canister with SEB236 power head. It looks gorgeous and it's on my want list someday. Mieles are great canisters.. powerful...

    The PERFECT Electrolux Commercial upright

    I'll comment on Tom's generosity too... I've met Tom a few times and he is a generous, kind soul filled with knowledge and has been a great friend. Ever since meeting him a few years ago at a convention, I've tried to make annual trips around my work and of course 2020 has been hard with...

    The PERFECT Electrolux Commercial upright

    Tom, that's a great looking vacuum. I can't wait to hear one in person someday and notice the sound tone difference of it versus a cogged belt one. The airflow sounds great. I hope they sell like hot cakes for you and other vac shops who get them. Kirbysthebest.... I don't know you and have...

    Panasonic MC-6955

    God Bless Wayne! Those Panasonic uprights were very nice vacuums. You got a great find Turbo360. I am saddened to tell you that the original author of this post, Wayne Michael Marchek, passed in January 2017. Cancer stole him at a very young age. Quite tragic. I never got to meet in person...

    Has anyone talked about the Hoover Preferred Lineup?

    Hooverman99 is correct! These were sold exclusively through Lowe's Hardware stores. There were a few models, I believe they had a two year warranty as well. All of them had that sparkling glitter gray color. The Windtunnel Preferred canister was model S3641. It was the same build as the...

    What is your favorite Hoover?

    I have too many Hoover favorites... There are many I really like. I love the old flick switches on the Convertibles and I prefer the round metal handles over the ones with the rubber grips. I like many Elite uprights, I really like my Hoover WidePath upright..that's a definitely a real fun...

    What have you done since Stay At Home ???

    Thanks very much Mark. Due to drought, the blower hasn't had much use yet but the time will come. My string trimmer is a Maruyama BC2621CA with 5 year commercial warranty. It's a great unit. I tried the Maruyama blower but liked the RedMax better. I retrieved a photo of the Kawasaki...

    Does anyone own one of these Premiers?

    That's a style of Premier that I have not seen before. I have no clue how that one performs. However, I used to have this one. I don't recall the model number. Another collector currently has it. We kinda switch off who has it for a while. LOL Really great machine and fun to use actually...

    Tub style carpet machines

    The Bissell canisters were decent machines. The Big Green Clean Machine has a two gallon clean solution tank and a very large recovery tank as well. Some of the older ones were actually faucet hook up though. You had to run a hose to a nearby faucet and use adapters to screw it to the faucet...

    What have you done since Stay At Home ???

    Working From Home My office changed to working from home. However, as I work in IT I've had to still go to the office many times to keep computers up and running and also configure new equipment. Sometimes Windows, no matter how well controlled just tries to give us new headaches. LOL I...

    1994 Panasonic MC-5501 Ultra Pro

    That's an older Panasonic. It looks kinda similar to the Jet-Flo uprights. They were good vacs. The black and yellow Ultra-Pro models came a little later. Many commercial uprights are a single top cord hook. It's annoying for homeowners but convenient for a hotel Housekeeper, commercial...

    Westinghouse "Portable" Upright

    NEAT! Gotta say, that's a first for me seeing one like that. I don't know why but the thick handle makes me think of an old school microphone. LOL Cool find!
