    Vac Store Clean-Out

    What is the address and time your shop is open to view? I remember seeing this post last year but was unable to make it there. With the Fall weather approaching, would be a nice day trip from North Carolina. TIA

    Free Vacuums - Local Pickup Only - Will not Ship

    Hi, I'm hoping there are some local collectors here in North Carolina (Raleigh area) where these vacuums may go to a great home. I just don't have the space as they are taking over...lol I have given some away on here and Market Place already for free but shipped and it was a hassle and...

    Upright hose useability

    The Hoover Dial-A-Matic has a nice set up and suction is adequate/okay. I have a model 1118 and for the time, think it was a great set up. The Windtunnel I have has great suction but experience the same thing the hose shrinks and the machine wants to tip over. I rarely if ever use an upright...

    Central Vacuums

    I have a central vacuum and thoroughly enjoy it. It makes cleaning alot easier in my opinion, especially stairs. Our main floor is all hardwood with some area rugs and upstairs is all carpeting. 3,300 sf home. We have two attachment packs, one for each floor and that also helps as you...

    Hoover Model 70 questions

    I own two Hoover Convertibles; a model 70 and model 1030. I never tried an F&G bag in the 70 but do have an F&G bag in my 1030 and just leave the snaps open on the outer bag, seems to work fine. I agree the filter bag is a bit big but I ensure the folds are open and by leaving the outer snaps...

    Eureka Upright 2061D

    Thanks, here are a few pictures, need to clean up the scuff marks. I also found a YouTube video dating this to 1989? Not sure if the vacuum in the ad is the 2061D. The ESP logo on mine is different than the one in this video.

    Eureka Upright 2061D

    Does anyone know when the Eureka 2061D was manufactured and then sold in stores? I recently acquired this vacuum, my first Eureka upright, ever. I'm a canister guy but was always intrigued by a few of the Eureka upright models. I do have to say this is a powerhouse of a vacuum and I cannot...

    Postage Due

    You did the right thing by sending it back, I would have done the same. Frustrating to say the least. I've given up on eBay as both buyer and seller. If I need a small part or filter for something and the price/shipping is reasonable I will consider purchasing but lately (for me maybe the...

    Best way to vacuum carpeted stairs

    I use my central vacuum with the small motorized powernozzle and/or the full size powernozzle. Some of my Kenmore canisters have the powermate jr. and I've used that in the past. I have hardwood stairs with carpet in the center...so I also use a dusting brush for the wood portions. I...

    Aerus Lux Classic

    The Control Valve on my Epic 6000SR was wonky and would do the same as you're describing. Until I replaced, I disconnected, watched YouTube on how to do it. Maybe it's the Control Valve? Good Luck.

    Vacuums you find or found to be scary?

    Definitely the older Kirby and Royal uprights for me...they were creepy especially if they were tucked away in a dark closet...hahaha Oil Burner/Furnaces creeped me out more though, especially in a basement, not so much if they were in the garage. I would run if it kicked on when I was down...

    New Kenmore Intuition bagged lift off style vacuum

    Very Shark Like I just saw this today, came through as a FaceBook Post from Kenmore. I wonder if the powerhead operates when you lift off like Shark, I didn't see it demonstrated in the video. https://www.kenmoreintuition.com/

    Hoover self-propelled WindTunnel u64xx

    I have one in Green I have one in green, purchased it back in 2011 from Sam's Club. Used a few times, gave it to my mom, she never used it, sat in a closet a few years. Too heavy for her. She needed closet space, so it came to my house and was put in the collection. I never use it, too...

    What vacuums do/did your parents or grandparents use?

    The memories…I could go on but I’ll start with this… Parents: • 1972 – Hoover 1030 Convertible and Hoover 2017 Slim Line Canister. I was not born yet…I came in 1973, haha. • 1975 – TOL Kenmore Powermate Canister – Think it was 2599 from my Sears Catalogs. This was the vacuum was my entire...
