    AB Electrolux Sells Eureka Division to Chinese Company

    NoXy's post regarding Electrolux buying Eureka specifically said that Electrolux had wanted to buy Eureka in 1968 when they sold the American divison. That tells me and I already knew that AB Electrolux of Sweden bought Eureka. One of the subsequent owners of Elecrolux USA back then was a food...

    AB Electrolux Sells Eureka Division to Chinese Company

    "computers" have made life too complicated. It's time to moved on to other things. (as another twitter comment is posted with orange highlights). Guess we'd all better get off of our computers. Talk about a hack. (who hates media but loves the attention from it) We are great already! Prove...

    I have never seen such a terrible "Repair" on a Kirby

    My dad said he ate possum during the depression. They were so poor, they didn't have an inside bathroom or central heat until after the war. He told me son, go to college, get an education. He was no dummy either. Self taught on many things, but he went to night school and had a good skilled...

    AB Electrolux Sells Eureka Division to Chinese Company

    The future of Eureka has been known for some time. More form China, less from Mexico. There hasn't been a quality Eureka product in years.

    unusual items found when opening up vacuums

    After Chernobyl in the Ukrane, roaches survived. Man's legacy. I remember this local TV commercial back in the 80's also, for Numark roach spray. "Girl, I was over to their house, and the roaches was everywhere.

    Foreign vacuums ?

    Yes, Sebo's are sold here in vacuum specialty stores, not dept. stores, as are Miele's. There have been both shown in the later contemporary threads and for sale. Vorwerk's have also been featured here, but never sold new in the USA.

    Aerus Veridian Discovery 2-in-1 Cordless Handheld & Stick Vac

    I agree electromatik sales people lie all the time. They feast or famine. Last year, one at an Oreck store told me their canister vac was made in Cleveland Ohio. I told him TTI doesn't have a pant in Ohio, only a headquarters and distribution. Then I walked out as I told him I was getting a Miele.

    vintage vacuum cleaners

    Yes, like Zorro, the gay blade, etc., etc. I think the word gay was adopted by the gay community because it was taboo for so long it was considered by the rest of society to be an unhappy thing. One word is also easier than saying which side is ones bread buttered on, or they are light in the...

    Exactly, and those humans have to be educated to do those jobs. They are not walk in off the street and bolt together jobs. The people doing the monitoring can even be off site watching and adjusting computers remotely. There will even be some jobs maintaining the video equipment, but those...

    Once I was looking at archived threads, and one was by Dan about another post Hoover TTI item and he was praising it's designer. It has since been deleted by our webmaster. Now common sense tells me someone has had long ties with TTI, so why weren't they made back here in the states sooner...

    Hoover Guardsman Bagged - Discontinued?

    Times change, are still, and will change more. Adapt, or stay behind. That's what we were told in the 80's and 90's. Icon's come and go. The I've always had or done this job mentality is passe'. New skills are where it will be cutting edge. We'd have never got to the moon otherwise, but...

    Hoover Guardsman Bagged - Discontinued?

    Of course we care that Americans have jobs. That wasn't the case from 2001 through 2009, especially not around here. So, now that our young have learned to get an education, and avoid monotonous factory work, we are better off. It's not for everyone, and a sure as the local technological...
