    General Electric Vacuum Attachments

    Finding attachments. MY guess is because all of the old machines are gone at this point. Keep in mind that units like what you are looking for were way back before the internet, before Ebay, Facebook Market Place and here. When the vacuum died it was discarded and a new one was purchased...

    Never thought I'd get a Bison Mark 2 vacuum.

    Is it possible to make a video of how to hook up the attachments and how to how up the carpet head after the attachments? I've always wondered about that?

    What if bagless dust cups were made of glass instead of plastic?

    Could you imaging how heave they would be? The dust cup would weight a ton and make the vacuum itself a lot heavier.

    New Kirby model !!

    I have the Avalir Second Generation Black and Blue and I love it. I use it pretty often, but still revert back to my Rainbow or Aerus Classic. But they still can't make any improvements. At least with Rainbow they find ways to improve the model.

    repair Rainbow D4c electric vacuum hose

    You can find hoses cheap on Ebay and some in beautiful shape. I have never upgraded my hoses to internal wiring for a couple of reasons. They are more expensive to replace and the handles feel to awkward when you are trying to use them. I hang the hose on a hook in my laundry room and it...

    Does anyone have those days they just want to get done and not fiddle with the vacuum?

    Yesterday was a great example. Last week was a crazy week. Saturdays are really the only day we have time to get caught up. Normally I use the vacuum for everything. Once a month I use it to knock cobwebs, vacuum furniture and lampshades. You get the idea. We have a cat Noodles and a dog Rosie...

    Does anyone remember???

    Not it. But still pretty funny. If I remember this was a British TV series and the sales man was using the vacuum with the attachments and sicked the skirt and slip off of the model. Like I said. I was really young.

    Does anyone remember???

    It's so strange that I remembered this. But it popped up in my head yesterday when I got the curtains caught in the vacuum. I don't remember when exactly this was. I want to say it was 70s maybe 80s. I'm pretty sure it was a British comedy. I remember the setting being a store and some salesman...

    Watch those Kirby's. They will hurt you.

    I forgot where I left the carpet attachment for the Kirby and came around the corner with a laundry basket and kicked them rug attachment, barefoot. It sat me down. I started to swell up and couldn't walk that well. Brent said I needed a trip to the ER. We went. They did X-rays. I broke my small...
