I missed having a straight suction rug tool with my new Rainbow and found out the original Rexair rug tool from the model "B" not only fits my new wands but will fit right on the machine and ride along with the other tools. It has a black furniture guard so it matches the color of the new...

Still problems with the Hoover Bags That was a good idea. I just found some genuine "d" Hoover bags on ebay and will buy them for my machine. Those "new" bags bought from Hoover are going in the trash. Complete waste of money. I had the SAME experience when I tried to buy new Genuine Hoover...

Still problems with the Hoover Bags Thanks Everyone. Fred-I am just a little sentimental about the old Dail-A-Matic and I don't want to ruin it. I got the dirt from from the old carpet in the basement. That carpet came from the house on Morse Landing. I don't think it has been swept since...

I am STILL having problems with the new bags for the Dail-A-Matic. As you can see they are leaking very bad ,even after ONE use. It renders the machine useless, as the dirt will be escaping into the motor. The machine belonged to my family has has NEVER had this problem before the new new bags...

My Newest editions Bud, Thanks for the pictures. I have never seen a Eureka Retro Vac.

For Sale: Electrolux (usa) model XX Tom, As for me, the slight differences makes the collecting more interesting. You are right on in that as I remember their XX had a very different tone than my other relatives that had XXX's (of course I was very young but I always did remember details). I...

For Sale: Electrolux (usa) model xx Tom, My grandparents bought the model XX new and theirs DID have the louvered doors on the rear of the machine. The fuller brush DID not swivel and neither did the rug tool. It came with a gray dusting brush and regular Electrolux metal sofa tool. She paid...

I just ordered a replacement sponge mop insert from Ken and he also sent me the NEWEST style sponge head. Love it, love it, love it. I can do my regular sweeping with the fuller brush and just replace that lower wand with the new mop head. It uses so little water, I can go over my hard surface...

Uprights or canisters? I think a lot depends on the living situation. When I had a one floor house with wall to wall carpeting- I loved my Kirby and the dusting tools. Now that I have a house with 2 floors, carpeting, area rugs, wood floors and lots of hard surface floors-the Kirby become...

Look what came in the mail,My chocolate brown Rainbow Tom is correct. I have a very late copper Rainbow with the same exact cord and I know for a fact mine has the original power cord. I believe mine is from 1976 as that is the date on the attachment box. I believe the power nozzle cord and...

My Rainbow D4 Performance Edition,my favorite I had one like that for about 18 years. Not one problem or service in all those years. However I hated messing with the 2 hose set up and was more than happy to get the new model. I was a very good product. Not even a hose break in all those years...

Rainbow Service after the Sale Eric, I can add to my story about the sponge. Last year when I broke the hose connect spring, my Rainbow dealer (Ken Bashford in Texas) sent me a new hose end at no cost. I was not sure how to do the replacement, so I took it to my local Indianapolis Rainbow...

I had to call today to order a replacement sponge for my Rainbow wet floor cleaning set up. I have had and used the sponge at least 2 times a week for over 2 years. To my surprise it was still under warranty. I love the Rainjet and have posted pictures in the past of how easy it is to use.I...

Just listed again on ebay. Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary Upright. Just want it GONE! Still in original box.

Water-Magic Filter-magic Thanks for the video. I was expecting it to be a water filtration machines by it's name. Does anyone know if these are still being made and what is there claim to fame?

Kirby Legend ll Michael, I have the same Kirby and was JUST posting about it yesterday. I have had the SAME problem with it, but only on CERTAIN types of cut pile carpeting. If I adjust it too high, you lose the suction seal on my carpet and no cleaning results. If I went to the very next...

My Extensive Collection Part 4 Dan, Where did the Kirby is best come from? I thought you were all about Aerus/Lux? You said you had bought 100's for your family so I assumed you preferred the Electrolux machines. I have the Kirby Legend ll which I bought new and used from 1988-2006. It was a...

Childhood Vacuum Here is ours bought in the early 1950's for $92.50. It was serviced by Air-Way in 1970 and again last summer by Duane from our club.

Hoover Anniversary Upright Jim, Just being honest. I would NEVER use this machine on a high quality carpet. This is not the same as the older Hoovers with the smooth metal beater bars and soft horse hair brushes. I would go with an older Hoover or an Electrolux. So many of these new plastic...

Hoover Anniversary Upright It is my machine and it it VERY loud. It is also VERY VERY aggressive if you have carpets of any value it would not be a good choice. It does have very strong suction. No better or no worse than any other made in China throw away upright big box vacuum.
