Lux talk around the water cooler John, Thanks for posting the pictures and information about the new Aerus bags. Hope that will solve the leaking problems on the new machine. Good news if they are going to start making the bags themselves again.

My Extensive collection part 6 Dan, You lost me . What are you referring to in a 250% increase in filtration when they already were claiming almost perfect filtration with all the filters? Unlike other users, you stated you had no leakage with the former paper bags. If the bags are not leaking...

Kirby Avalir Thanks Gareth and Jimmy. I had no idea they had so many problems. It makes sense that Aerus is having problems with their new machines now and explains why (somewhat) why those new Hoovers I bought back in 2008 were such junk. I guess they were bringing so many new models and...

Kirby Avalir Dan, Not familiar with the 3G Series. What were the "tons of problems" that Kirby had with the it's 3G's?

The Pink Lady Kenmore Whispertone Tom, That is one fine example of a vintage cleaner. It looks like it is "the Kirby" of canisters compared to the Electrolux G sitting beside it! The Electrolux looks so trim and slim. Even the Lux power nozzle looks trim and easy to use compared to the huge...

Finally found my Twin Power Automatic Bud, Very nice looking Eureka. I have never seen one like it. I like the blue color and the trim on the machine.

Kirby Avialir What a total shame. I love Kirby but..... I don't like the new hollow handle. It looks like a Oreck handle copy. Also that black plastic round fill tube going from the machine to the bags looks cheap. In the picture of the machine, now the handle and bag almost look too small for...

Ricarr or Miele Well, old Tom my friend, you brought up some vary valid points between the Aerus and Ricarr. It made me stop and think: (1) I don' t much like the plastic wands on the Aerus either. Mine on my Epic 9000 seem big and heavy to handle (2) you are right on with the Lux brush...

Filtex Tom, Thanks for clearing that up. So the machine I saw much have been much older. I know I had never seen or heard of one before or since but I sure remembered the tools when I saw Han's. This would have been around 1969-70 time frame. I am almost sure it had a cloth covered hose. Who...

The Filtex is here Hans, Thanks for sharing the pictures. I made me think of a friend whose parents had a Filtex. I think the box looked JUST like yours. I remember going to their "Kirby closet" to get the Kirby to clean up a small mess and seeing the box in the back or the closet. Also...

Anybody seen the new Panasonic Jet Force Canister with flip Thanks Tom for the update and information. I would like the smaller power nozzle BUT not the other fact that it would not stand by itself or the fact that the canister capacity is small and deal breaker for me would be a short hose...

Watching HSN this morning and saw the world launch for the Panasonic Jet force canister model mc-cl943. So new it is not on their web site. It has a very different power nozzle design with a flip up front shutter on the power nozzle. Also has a new type of design of the brushes on the power...

which is better cleaner? Well I can agree with with both Tom and Hans on different levels. As far as which would clean the best-Tom may be right about the Wintunnel-OUT OF THE BOX NEW, but which would I rather use and which would be working 5 years down the road? I think I would go for the...

New Vac: Rainbow vs Miele I have to agree 100% with Gary on this one. I have owned both. I sold my Miele. It does have good points like powerful suction, quiet and good quality. I had odors and smells from my new in box Miele within 2 weeks. The bags are expensive. I REALLY did not like...

best vac postings That was a good video except I had that Royal and it was the very first to go when I sold my collection off just because it was so loud I could not stand to use it. It was not only how loud but the pitch of the motor was horrible. I had tried it out in a large vac shop and it...

Mini Meet In Tulsa, OK Kenny, What a great collection and some interesting classics. Nice to see some well built machines and not more china plastic throw away vacuums. Thanks for posting the pictures. Rob

The Design and Creation of the GE roll-easy cleaner This might be a question for Dave, Hans or Charlie, but I do remember my cousin's mother got one and I remember it being much heavier than I expected it to be ( of course I was only 4-5 years old). I also remember the copper wands seeming kind...

Water Softeners and Rainbow I have used first my old Rainbow SE and the last 3 years the new Black Rainbow for a total of 8 years with a water softener and no damage, so I think you should be ok. I use only the Rainbow daily, so they both have seen a lot of basins of softened water over the...

old Rexair rug tool John, I only use it on my older style wool rugs where I don't want the revolving brush. Hans, You are 100% correct. You have to open the suction relief. The Jet rug tool really worked when we had flagstone walks put down and had so much sand. That tool would remove sand...

Miss Tania can spot them miles away Morgan, You ARE telling the truth. I think she can SMELL good vacuums out and spot one in a second. Nice find.
