Discontinued vacuums... I’m sad that the Eureka Victory was discontinued. For a budget-oriented machine, it wasn’t bad at all. My parents had one that lasted 17 years. I also wish that the Hoover Convertible was still made. It was a way better machine than 99% of what’s on the market...

Favorite Hoover... Mine would have to be the convertible, specifically the ranger hood models. I don’t know what it is about them, but I just love the way they look. Here’s a few pictures of my U-4423. It was one of the first American Hoovers to have a date code, and it says it was made in...

Sebo... I agree with panasonicvac, I too think they are very good machines. I recently acquired a G4 (the G series is basically the same as the X series except it has a manual height adjustment), and it has strong suction, strong airflow, and just feels like a well-built vacuum overall. My G4...

Very cool! I hope your family enjoys them! I really need to get one of those dryer vent attachments as the dryer I have is notorious for building lint up inside the machine, right in front of the blower. Thanks for the compliment! I’ve used it for about a month now, and I’m really liking it...

I’d like to see a few things. The first would be for Numatic to make an upright vacuum. It would also be nice if they introduced a canister with a power nozzle like the Henry hound had. I feel that either one of these products would make them sell better here in the U.S. Another thing I’d...

Nice! Good luck with you’re restorations! I’m sure they’ll turn out great in the end! I can’t wait to see them once they’re completed. Thanks for the compliment! I’m not the person who bought the bravo. There are several other members here with names that sound similar to mine, though...

Metrovac... Now that I think about it, I think I’ve seen that name on the blow-dryer units at the local pet salon. They looked a lot like the vacuum seen in the link you posted. I looked the name up on YouTube, and found their channel. The styling looks like an Electrolux model G crossed...

Hi! I was just wondering what vacuum cleaner related gifts everyone has received this holiday season. I’ll start with mine. I got a brand new Sebo G4, and I am loving it. I’ve included a picture of it as well. Happy holidays, Thatwasherguy.

Update... I’ve been using this machine almost exclusively for the past couple of months to get to know it. I’m temporarily going to stop using it to use my other machines (don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere, and I’ll put it back in service in the future once I’ve rotated through my other...

Congratulations!! That machine will be good to go for years to come with a rebuild like that. It’s absolutely beautiful. I can relate to the joy of finding a childhood machine again. In fact, I found mine about a year and a half ago. It’s just the way I remembered it. Happy vacuuming...

Wow That’s a beautiful machine you’ve got there! I love the styling of those old compact Electra/Tristar machines. They remind me of the eureka canned ham machines a little bit. I need to get one at some point. That’s wonderful that you got it free. I love finds like that. Congrats on...

Hi! I recently bought an Electrolux Super J on E-bay, with the power nozzle. The vacuum will need bearings soon, but still runs good enough to use, as it doesn’t seem to be bogging the motor or growling too much right now. The PN, however, is another matter. It runs great when it’s cold, but...

I remember my parent’s old victory (the boss) having it’s lettering written like this, with “the boss” being on a separate line from “eureka”. (I’ve included pictures of both versions so you can see what I’m talking about). This picture from an advertisement was the only one I could find of it...

Congratulations!!! That’s a beautiful machine!! I got a convertible back in May because of the very sound you mentioned; that low rumble. It is indeed a very pleasant sound. If I were you, I’d just leave the blue paint on the hood, as it makes the machine unique. Besides, I think it looks...

Impossible to pick just one... I really like the turquoise blue on the Electrolux model G and the Hoover U-4423. I also really like the gold on the Hoover senior U-4014 and the Electrolux super J. The green of the Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 and the red of the Classic III is very charming as...

loganvac I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in liking the victory based machines! I too love their styling and motor tone. They me of the Sebo X and G series uprights in these ways. It seems that Sebo took everything I love about the victory, and made a commercial vacuum out of it. (I hope to...

That filter Queen is absolutely gorgeous!! I agree, it’s probably an earlier 200 due to the lack of the wheels. Could you please post a video of it running on YouTube? I can’t wait to see more pictures of it! I kinda feel sorry for the 1060 though. That poor thing has definitely seen better...

Human Thanks for the compliment! It still seems to have good Air-Flow with the conversion. There doesn’t seem to be much difference between before and after regarding performance, but I don’t have a way to accurately test it either. It feels similar to my Hoover convertible’s performance...

I have an idea... Maybe someone should buy this and send it in to the Kirby factory rebuild program LOL. I’d love to see their reaction to this thing! Thatwasherguy.

WOW!! And I thought my Classic III was in rough shape! That thing would probably need at least $170 more to get it in usable condition, going off of what my Classic III required. That said, I saw a YouTube video of a Dual Sanitronic 80 that looked just as bad as this one that still ran. I...
