    Who designed/invented the original Hoover Windtunnel Supreme?

    The Hoover Windtunnel upright series first deployed around 1998 I believe was the actual year. The first generation of these vacuums was manual usage only and there were about 4 models. Hoover actually ran a 30 minute paid infomercial for these units. They had a demo on there showing the vacs...

    What specific Panasonic did...

    Found my photos! I found the catalog photos I had. I also decided to take out all of my Panasonics for you and take some photos, plus some older photos I had of a time I did servicing on the newest one. Also a lot of people tend to recommend Kirby belts for many power heads. I tried...

    What specific Panasonic did...

    I'd have to dig it up, but one of my hard drives has photos of catalogs from Panasonic Jet-Flo canisters. This model was entry level. Panasonic had 12" and 14" power heads at the time. I have 3 of the 14" power nozzles. Each one uses the same belt but has some differences of headlight and...

    Looks like a mini meet is happening again

    Happy Halloween! Glad you all enjoyed the Monster Bash. Looks like lots of vacuums got played and even an Electrolux got serviced there!! I'm sure the house got blessed with Holy Water after.

    Hotel vacuums.

    RoyalFan It's happened at numerous hotels and all of them had Sebo/ Windsors!! It's not the filtration issue, it's the cleaning power issue. Many hotels have the auto sensing models and they just don't get low enough to the pile to do enough! It's happened at many Sheraton's, Westin...

    Demo gifts...

    Demo gifts are for advertisement/ cold call demos I worked for Filter Queen around 2012 and then Rainbow around 2014. Demo gifts only were given to those that called in for a demo based on an advertisement/ flyer program. In many cases for those programs, the people have no clue that their...

    I Finally Went For It

    I briefly tried a Sirena while visiting another collector and I really liked it. I thought it had a significant bit of more airflow compared to the current Rainbow E2 with serpentine power head. I also like the Sirena sends the dirt deeper below the water than Rainbow and feel that the motor...

    What is the worst vacuum from the past 20-ish years?

    Awwww Chad!!! I actually really love the Royal PowerCast!! It's one of my favorite vacs to use whenever I visit a collector who has one. I agree with you Josh, as a collector it looks SUPER COOL!!! That being said my pick for the worst vacuum over the past 20 years would be the god awful...

    Performance differences between Sebo D4 and Felix? (vs old Oreck)

    I'm not surprised by your D4 experience!! I used a brand new Sebo D4 Premium at a Bed and Breakfast years back. I liked that it was quiet, had a long 40' cord, which is the longest on a canister vac that retracts. It also stored the crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery nozzle on board...

    Hotel vacuums.

    I mostly have seen Windsor/ Sebos in hotels. It upsets me as every hotel that I have stayed at that has Windsors, my allergies always seem to go nuts. Likewise I have never had an issue at a hotel that used an Electrolux Prolux commercial, Sanitaire, Hoover Commercial, Oreck or ProTeam. A...

    Vacuum lines on carpet

    Mostly Hoovers Hoover's tend to have longer bristles that extend beneath the baseplate more than several other manufacturers I have used. It is for that reason I believe Hoover's tend to make excellent vacuum lines/ prints. I tend to use the phrase "Vacuum Prints" LOL. Whether it's one of my...

    Attention Eureka Canister experts

    vacuum belts Hoover round belts have gotten less reliable over the years unfortunately just like many other things manufactured these days. For a better belt for your Hoover Decade 80 upright, I would get the Hoover commercial style belt, part number: 044783AG. It uses a slightly softer...

    Do ya ever just pull out what you’re ‘feeling’??

    Always!! My choice of vacuum to use for when I do cleaning is always what I am feeling at the time!! Although sometimes it ends up being the most recently added one to the collection or most recently cleaned up. I might do one area with a vacuum then in a room with multiple vacuums in it, I...
