In the early 2000s my elementary school used NSS M-1 Pigs with a straight suction nozzle that was used for both the commercial pile carpeting and tile. I remember them being extremely loud especially in the hallways. They also had the commercial Hoover Spinscrub which I knew even at the time was...

Thanks! These are always fun to look at. Wish I could buy some of that dirt devil merch

Found something on eBay I've never seen before. Does anyone have any history on this? The fact that it's made in Canada and has this brush roll makes me think it's an old VacUFlo/HP Products equipment...

Still here! I check in and read the site a few times a month, but only chime in when I know I have something to add to the conversation. I joined the site when I was still a teenager and feel like I kinda grew up with Vacummland. I've moved a few times and have progressively less space to...

The original model was so popular and well made it's now sold as a Sanitaire. That's big jump for something that used to be a Walmart exclusive. It's $119 now with a steel handle but at some points you could find a bagged powerful for under $40 if Walmart was holding a sale. I also remember very...

Oh boy, this is not what I needed to see. I've been literally dreaming about Sebos all week and this is the exact kind of machine I would be interested in. A new direct-air bagged machine!! I'm not a fan of batteries since they get worn out pretty quickly in my experience, but the corded model...

I remember those for sale at Sears. Across the aisle was the similar-looking and equally ill-fated Hoover Z. They had to have been direct competitors, both selling for their aesthetic and not their performance. The bags were tiny. This was also during a time when nearly every mainstream upright...

New X4 Ended up buying an X4 yesterday. Originally went in for a Dart but the handle weight was way heavier than the X4 and didn't feel as comfortable. Really happy with the purchase. The plastic quality of the wand and attachments are a little thin for a $849 machine but it's quiet. Easier...

That's what I figured. That's a nice collection! Which is your favorite? From most of the videos I've watched/specs I've seen it sounds like the Felix has an edge on cleaning ability/usability. Is the bag much smaller? It's been awhile since buying a new machine and I've very tempted to order...

As long as it has the pigtail connector you should be fine. It's those direct-connect models that get proprietary

I've got a Sebo itch recently. I've used an old worn Versmatic before but never something new, including their power nozzle which seems to be a favorite among central vac dealers these days. The only issue is that here in the states they are absurdly expensive. $850 for the X4 and $550 for the...

List of TurboPower machines from Vacuumland's collective knowledge: https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?17644_38

I signed into vacuumland for the first time in awhile after seeing the news. Recently had a death in the family and I thought to check if David Oreck was still alive. This is definitely sad. As a younger collector growing up in the early 2000s he was a big part of the contemporary vacuum market...

For the manufacture date look at the serial number and first 4 digits will be the date. MMYY. I want to say those were built until ~2005. That’s a 12amp machine so definitely near the end of the Hoover Elite era. Definitely one of the more unique variants, and one of the few that used the “Z”...

Just did a closer read of the thread and saw @electromatik's link. So Shark is the market leader! Didn't see that before. Thanks for that info!

At this point in time I would say the Shark Navigator line. They're sold at basically every retailer and have been for probably a decade now. It seems like every other non-collector (so most people lol) I've met owns one. It's also hard to go to any Goodwill around here and not see one for sale...

I'd love to see a long-term review of this. The Hoover Celebrity bag setup is interesting. I haven't used a Celebrity in a while but I remember the dust likes to clump up near the front fold of the bag and not so evenly across all three. Numatic and others don't use those bags in their...

I bought one a few months ago and it's a good deal for the money. In a place like mine that's 100% bare floors with a few area rugs, it gets the job done. The cord is the perfect length. I will say Hoover makes probably the worst bare floor tool in the game, and the PortaPower still has Hoover's...

Old Thread! I haven't thought of this subject in a long time, but it reminds me of something I saw recently. During this summer my family and I were in Kona, Hawaii, and right outside the airport TSA checkpoint was a Hoover Elite 200! In the wild! In 2021! Surprising good shape for something...

Impressive! Especially for a cordless vacuum. $40 is very steep for bags but they do last a while. I used to get about 3 months out of CC bags when I used an Oreck full time, and only had to buy a new pack once a year or so. Does the ONEPWR use the same motor as the XL21-series? From the few...
