    A HOOVER for Lorna aka Lola

    Trouble with those Floorbusters. I have one too, is the cost of the replacement batteries.. they're about $17-$20 each and it takes two. My other half years ago bought some B&D power tools that used those batteries, a saw, a worklight, a drill, a mini circular saw, and some others.. Then I saw...

    My Maytag!

    Does it sound similar to the 120v model and does it also have the woefully too short hose? If only, only, they'd added another foot to that hose I'd probably use mine more often but it drives me nuts.

    Very Nice Find: Electrolux Epic 6500 (charcoal gray)

    Hmmm well my hubby is from round the bay (little catalina) and his mom had a filter queen so he thinks because when he saw mine he said it looked like the one they had. Which when I found that out after she passed on.. his dad gave away to someone and bought some piece o crap.

    Beautiful house..obviously a fairly wealthy local family had it built in it's day. I noticed there' a servants staircase in the kitchen and that "garage" type are usually referred to as a carriage house with the accompanying "carriage door or gate" One of the help might live up there.. Do...

    Nice Panasonic find!

    The one on the left I just call the "dirt sensor" . I picked up a very clean one a couple of years ago and leave it over at my moms house for her cleaning help to use. Those 3/4 sized Jet Flo dual-purposes, love em. They're very practical and easy to use.. especially if you live in a small...

    Nice Panasonic find!

    A word of warning Be very careful about not running over the cord with these style Panasonics. They are very good at slicing little strips off the cord down to the wires. It's really their only fault.

    Nice Panasonic find!

    Nice color, I haven't seen it before. They are my favorite "modern" vac in all their permutations. The first one I bought (same as that one but brown/tan) for my mom new must have been back in the early 90's. It was a struggle pushing her Kenmore twin fan over the plush carpeting. These are...

    Vintage Canadian Hoover Convertibles

    Non specifically some of the differences I've seen were some Canadian models having a two piece handle vs. the US one piece handle at time. Perhaps a handle grip on one vs the other without one.. and I think on my lilac one (single piece handle and no grip) I have a matching lilac colored cord...

    A vacuum related thread by Crevicetool. (I know - hard to believe right)?

    Hmmm Been watching Hoarders have you. Good luck on keeping the garage and attic empty. Your nature adores a vacuum so that space will be filled right back up in no time

    Gotta love/hate the 70s! Goodwill find today- Kenmore Duo-power upright

    COMPACT CRAZY

    I would have to say it was the high price and limited exposure really. The rare times I ever saw any were at exhibition buildings etc during annual fairs, home and garden show, the odd time perhaps someone would be selling them in the mall with a balloon or something blowing in the air.
