    Thrift store surprise!

    pre-motor filter I would say it's important.  I remember the pre motor filter getting slightly caked with light colored dust over the period of a few months use.  I think because the paper bags back then were not hepa type.  If you can get hepa type bags, then it might be okay.  otherwise...

    How to choose vacuum cleaner?

    What's your budget? Do you want a refurbished classic machine or something new?  What other types of flooring do you have that the new machine will have to contend with?   Looks like a gorgeous new home, btw.  Congrats!

    'Say Goodbye To Big Corded Vacuums'

    @ Harley.. Yes, that what I heard him say as well. As far as how all future vacuums will be cordless...  It may never happen, as smaller companies won't have the resources to mass produce cordless machines and sell them at a reasonable cost.   Large companies like TTI or Midea or Dyson or...

    Bag/bagless observations

    After recently getting two vintage bagged machines (both Electrolux and Aerus), that I love and am obsessed with a bit, I actually thought about why I've preferred bagless machines for the past twenty or thirty years.   I realized that while storing/displaying my two bagged tanks upright on...

    Are there still retail stores that let you try out vacuums?

    Miele stores Walked in today to finally take a look at the Blizzard.   They had a whole set up displaying three variants of that model on top of a really cool looking 10'x10' dark red shag carpet.  The saleslady encouraged me to dive in, but I didn't have time to play.  I'll probably get...

    Searching For a New Vacuum for my Mother

    Oops, had to redo my post. ☺ Bed bath and beyond always takes returns even if you buy online and return in store, and they have a big selection online.   So, maybe try one that you think would be good, cross reference reviews on other websites like Amazon, and if she doesn't like it then...

    Searching For a New Vacuum for my Mother

    My Mom loved this one.. It doesn't have a hose or attachments.   They still carry it on Amazon.  I'd get a second battery for longer sessions.   Well balanced and stands upright on its own.     ...

    A Hose by any other name...

    After getting bitten by the Electrolux bug and suffering a slight fever, I am back in action!   I bought an HPR (after much discussion, it's probably a Super J) on eBay a few months ago, and it quickly became my favorite to use almost daily.  It came with the original braided hose which was...

    OMG, I'm over the moon! You have no idea the obsessive journey I've been on to find a beautiful one recently...the one I remember as a young man that cemented in my head what the difference was in a quality machine, and how much better vacuuming felt, and the beautiful rich sound of a solid...
