Of the 14 homes I clean on various schedules each month, half have cordless Dysons, one has the cheapest Shark and the others have various machines, all cheap or Orecks. Oe has no machine as she say's that's what I'm there for! She say's I came with the house...more or less true!

This is because original genuine Compact hose ends and wands are NOT true 1 1/4 inch! they are slightly larger in diameter! Ever notice why the Eureka style PN's have an adapter piece at the bottom of the wand? That''s why! They are "stepped-up" from 1 1/4 to Compact diameter! I can't talk...

Video's like yours... Mean to much to many of us! Thank you! There is SO much we can learn here! Greg

Believe what you want! Vacuums and storage chests have been around since the 40's!

You are both wrong! Everything about that is correct! Compacts and Revelations often were sold with storage chests or in those days called "hassocks." It was a fancy way to store vacuum in plain site in your home and even have an extra piece of furniture. Rainbows were sold with storage...

I didn't know Royal made a Powercast canister! All I've even seen is the underwhelming upright! Can someone share a picture? Am I just confusing that name with what I will always call a Royal deluxe "Pony" Thanks! Greg

Compact! That was rude and dis-respectful of another member of VL! I suggest you re-read the rules of this form about being respectful of other posters. On this topic, I as the other poster said you show a lack of respect for others in your constant appeals for others to help you find the right...

This is not worth $100.00! And it would not have come with a power nozzle. C-5's set-up for the PN had the PN plug on top of the body just back of the bag compartment. What makes this machine collectable is that the exhaust came out of the sides instead of straight out the exhaust. This...

Anything Centec sells is great! But I do have personal preferences from others and am not afraid to spend $$$ to buy several and try them out and then decide!

They are out of business!

Les! Many A/L or Com Vac's came with a re-useable F&G style bag. Heavy fabric--heavier that a Kirby outer bag that had a slide-off top. Mine did, but what little I used it, I put an F&G bag in it! Take care to not loose the front plug! They often get loose with the years. The first...

Believe it or not in the mid 60's Kenmore made a CV that had water filtration and could pick-up wet materials! My folks had one in our Florida house so Mom was able to pickup water we tracked in from the pool on the terazzo floors! There's a copy of the owner's manual in the paid literature...

Aqua-Air and it's competitor Drain Vac have been around for about 20 years. Both have a limited following and more small business users than private homes. You use the same 2" pipe and have a water line along side usually the same size as you'd find connected to your refer ice maker. You do...

The first picture is the wonderful and powerful Vacuflo (brand) RugRat! Yes Vacuflo as in central vacuum. Nozzle has been around for almost 40 years and still is the "cream of the crop" Noisy bugger when used with a really powerful machine such as a Compact or a CV! the second picture is the...

What an abuse of a Kirby!

Flocked tree's where and are still popular. Especially in states that don't see snow! I had a call the other night from friends in Palm Desert, Ca about getting their tree flocked. I said go for it! O.K., they live in a true mid-century house and even got a color wheel! Cool! Greg...

THIS BELONGS IN SUPERMARKET, PLEASE!

Please do! Greg

My family flocked tree's for years using the model 30!

These are excellent machines! The old paper bags didn't filter well, but the new Hepa bags are great! Greg
