    Collection for sale- Updated pics.

    Dirt Devil Featherlite- It works fine, not too bad of condition. I have another one at our other house for parts. $15+ shipping, spare motor will be included in the sale, but not shipped for a while.

    Sorry, that one is sold :( I guess I should keep better track of what is sold. Will see if I can start a new thread with what is still available.

    Yeah it is just yellowed like some plastics yellow over time, for some reason, G3 cords tend to do that. They are usually badly deteriorated, but this one isn't too bad. A couple small areas near the machine have cracked, but the wires are intact and it will be taped well.

    Adding to the list a nice Kirby G3- has been thouroughly cleaned and polished, runs great. Good brushroll, could use new drive wheel treads and the Tech drive clicks when in neutral, although it works just fine. Comes with everything shown, (except Faith, my kitty!) including two extra bags.

    Latest repair project...

    While I don't particularly care for this machine (even when it was new!), It seems pretty sturdy and the lower body/chassis is all one piece. For a cheap plastic machine, it seems sturdy enough overall, and it hasn't been treated gently before I got it, so that says something. When it was...

    I recently acquired this project- a Dirt Devil Ultra Vision Turbo from 2008. The same friends of mine that bought the crummy Dirt Devil Breeze I posted about in another thread gave it to me because it no longer worked "the belt started squealing and when we checked the brush had melted" Ok...

    New Dirt Devil vacuums- Poor quality!

    I enjoy new technology as much as anyone, but I can see the difference between quality and junk, and appreciate Made in the USA quality. I don't ever see the quality of new vacuums ever improving, we are living in a throw away society- It quits picking up, toss it to the curb and buy another...

    New Dirt Devil vacuums- Poor quality!

    I am up visiting friends, and the last time they came to our house to visit, they had mentioned tbey had bought a new vacuum (I had given them a Eureka F&G style a few years ago), and they hated buying bags. They weren't sure what brand what it was "it's red". Well, tuesday, I found out it was a...

    6000 sq ft home and the need for clean

    I can recommend you look into a Hoover Floormate for cleaning/scrubbing hard floors. I have one and it is wonderful, cleans far better than a mop and bucket. They can be had for about $150, less if you don't mind used. You are supposed to use *only* Hoover's cleaning solution, but I have had...

    Bissell Brush Roll

    I'm guessing it is the standard length, I will dig mine out and measure it. I won't be able to ship it out until next week, I'm going out of town for a few days.

    Bissell Brush Roll

    Is the vacuum a wide path model or standard? I have a standard one you could have for the cost of shipping.

    I am pretty sure it is a model 667, I will have to look at it to get the serial # for you.

    An Early "Kirby Birthday Present" to Myself!

    I can vouch for the fact that it is an -original- 1957 cord, gray with red ends. Glad it made it ok, and it looks GREAT with that genuine Kirby bag.
