    Vintage F and G Eureka find

    So Glad you got it! I saw that on Craigslist, but I was just too far and too short on funds.

    Dyson carpet washing

    Looks like a quick way to get killed if nothing else.

    Seeking a Hoover...probably!!

    I recommend the Hoover Windtunnel Supreme bagged- Excellent cleaning, not too heavy, headlight, attachments on board, 15" nozzle with edge brushes, good filtration if you use Hepa bags. Listed on Hoover's website for $109.99, but I would imagine they can be found new or used on ebay for less.

    In the market for a new Hoover shampooer

    As stated above^^^ The Bissell Proheats do like to clog their spray nozzles, but on the Proheat 2x, they are very easily accessed, no tools necessary. That was the issue with mine when I bought it, but I got it for 50% off on black friday, plus another 25% in store credit, which came out to...

    In the market for a new Hoover shampooer

    I have always had Hoover Steamvacs, but recently bought a Bissell Proheat 2x at a resale shop, and I have to say I'm extremely impressed. Excellent cleaning with very aggressive brushes, and very hot water. I do have to give credit to Hoover for extraction though, the Bissell lacks a bit in that...

    TTI and Oreck

    As has been mentioned before, a frequently used Oreck- Any oreck- removes more dirt than the latest Dyson, Hoover, or Kirby that is only used once a month because it is to heavy or hard for the owner to push. No, the former machine isn't the most poweful, but it picks up the dirt before it can...

    Commercial Uprights

    Windsor Versamatic. Heavy, yes, but oh so quiet, and a foolproof super sucker. That or a Sanitaire 7 amp with vibragroomer 2. I would say my first choice would be the Windsor because of the attached hose. One of my favorite vacuums to use.

    New Member and Another Find

    Those versions of Panasonic Uprights are simple powerhouses, and near bullet proof. I have never seen one with any more than a broken belt or worn brush strips.

    I used an Oreck XL for the first time!

    I've used several, and to be honest, don't think I would buy another one. I've owned 2, one older model, and one from about 1997 or so. I sold both fairly quickly. Yes, they are very lightweight, but I haven't been impressed with the cleaning performance (except on flat pile carpet), and the...

    Hoover Convertible

    I have this: Model U4001, nice used condition, has a few scrapes, one broken snap on the bag. Runs good, single speed. Needs a good greasing but I can do that if you are interested. Appears to be all original, one owner, low miles (lol)

    Compact (C-6?) attachments For Sale

    tolivac, Just make me an offer, I don't have much in them and they are just taking up space in the closet. I'm not looking to make a mint off of them, and have no use for them. You can email me if you prefer, I'm not an upgraded member so can't use the messaging system here.

    Compact (C-6?) attachments For Sale

    Yes, the used one works fine, I had originally tried to run it off of suction, but quickly realized that wasn't working.

    Eureka ESP Self-Propelled 5071D

    Yes, the stickers were only on the earliest bags- the one we had at our church had the later "Triple Filter" bag and I washed it by hand without issue. A great cleaner, although the drive cable was broken so it no longer self propelled. The one at our church wasn't excessively loud, just...

    Compact (C-6?) attachments For Sale

    I have Two Compact Polish-Aire attachments for sale, and a Compact "Magic Disc" sweeper- The Magic Disc appears to be NEW, in it's original box (I did use it once, so there are a few dog hairs but I will clean it out), and one of the Polish-Aire attachments also appears to be new, never used...

    in the market for a new steam vac

    I have a couple Hoover SteamVacs (original version), and they work fairly well. I have used a Bissell Proheat once (while I was repairing it), and it did fairly well but didn't seem to really deep clean. The best I have used was the original Rug Doctor (Rented red version or the blue home...
