    Central Cleaning Inlet Placement.

    Follow the link. Greg. This one I'm not so much interested in. But this has the Central Vac and if you do the 3D walk through you can see how and where they placed all the inlets. The 3D lets you do pretty good zooms also. So if you want to do the big go a head. LOL...

    Central Cleaning Inlet Placement.

    One of my favorite time killers these days is playing around on Realtor.com. I tend to automatically set the sort feature for highest priced and dream about houses I will never in my life have. Anyway today I was doing a 3D tour of a place in Minneapolis and one of the houses had a central...

    Winning Vacuum Bid Turns Into Dilemma! 😔

    My honest opinion. I wouldn't be doing business with him. What he did was wrong. You wkn the bet and just because another person threw a temper tantrum he cancelled the order. He need to pay the overdraw fee and I would look for another seller. He proved untrustworthy.

    Hosted a few little dinners recently

    That sounds amazing. Lasagna is one of my favorite foods and I make it from scratch. It's a comfort food for me. I have experimented with chicken and a Alfredo sauce. It wasn't as good but I figure maybe some day I'll give it a try again. Something else I like to do is a chicken with...

    No more corded vacuums to be developed by Dyson

    New Dysons. I know for myself I have no desire to have a Dyson and never will.  I myself prefer Door to Door and older models from the 70's 80's and 90's.  But my question is will Dyson keep the corded models they have now for those who want a corded model.  I also wonder what the life span...

    Painting Vacuums.

    I was playing around on Ebay and looking at old Electrolux Vacuums and saw one that was painted.  I have seen this a lot usually when doing restorations.  The paint job looked awful.  It didn't even look natural.  I get the fact that people are trying to give their vacuum's spa days and make...

    Vacuums That Sold Poorly & Died An Early Death

    The Bissell Pro Lite didn't seem to stick around to long. It really looked like a failed science project. I think the use of attachments may habe done it in. They looked really awkward.

    80's maybe 90's Eureka

    Yes they are very rare. In all my years on Ebay I have never seen one. Whats funny is the Mighty Mightkeeps going. That Floor Show would have been great and maybe still around if Eureka would have just marketed and advertised it a little better.

    80's maybe 90's Eureka

    I seem to remember a Eureka from the late 80's to maybe late 90's. It would have been a sibling to the Eureka Mighty Mite. I think it was called a Floor Show. But it wad a Mighty Might with a power nozzle. I remember seeing it in two stores. One wad a Vacuum Store in Saint Joe and the other...

    How many US manufacturers are there?

    From what I understand. Only one model of Aerus is not made in the US. If I am correct that is the Legacy. My Classic was USA made which was why I went with that model. Aerus website will tell you which models are USA manufactured.

    Panasonic

    Thank you all for the responses.  This has been a good thread.  I didn't think anything would happen to Sears Vacuums. That is a huge part of their success.  They are well known for great vacuums.   Rob.  I did not get a e-mail from you.  Unless it went to an email that I can not access...

    Panasonic

    Hi Rob   I haven't used anything Kenmore in a long time. But I have always liked their vacuum lines.  I have always liked the late 70's 80's model square style.  I have been trying for years to get a hold of the Sears Very Best from 1978.  The two tone Blue with the wood look and  long...

    Thanksgiving Cleaning!

    Family conversation for us is the same every year. Whose dead. Whose dying. Who needs to be shot. The people never really change either.

    Panasonic

    I seem to remember a thread not long ago about Panasonic discontinuing vacuum cleaners.  Being that they manufacture for Sears I was just in Sears the other day and saw all new models coming out and the website still have vacuums as well.  I wonder if this fell through.   Any ideas?

    Thanksgiving Cleaning!

    I did my fall cleaning at the beginning of November.  Then all I had to do was just a regular cleaning the week of.  I just used my Rainbow and usual suspects of cleaning products.
