    Air nozxle

    If you want one that's like a bigger Kirby Turbo Brush, go for a TurboCat. They actually make a rebranded version of the Kirby Turbo brush under the "RugRat" name.

    FREE - good Kirby motor units - Classic 1CR, Omega, Tradition

    You have no idea how much I want to take you up on that! If you were in Kentucky or any of the surrounding states, I would definitely come get them. Unfortunately, Kentucky to Texas would be a long drive, and I don't have my license yet. I want at least one of those Traditions, but I have to...

    Electrolux Velocity

    Fortunately, "Eurekalux" has completely pulled out of the USA vacuum market. Eureka is now owned by Midea, Sanitaire was sold to Bissell, and the "Electrolux" branded vacuums made by Eureka have now been completely discontinued. Aerus really needs to buy back the rights to the Electrolux name in...

    The worst condition royal you’ve ever seen.

    I usually just drill the screw heads off and then remove the rest with some channel locks. I did that to a Garry when one of the screw heads broke off. If there's enough screw shaft left, I will tighten my drill chuck down on it and simply reverse it out. Then again, I've never owned or worked...

    I really want to come down there! I might come down there and pick up a few machines for my birthday, which is in May. Would that be ok?

    Eureka World-Vac 6865, need help on its age

    The Aerus Electrolux dealer in Lexington got one of those as a trade in. He also had the World Vac softbody upright. I'll have to see if he still has them. Also, the webmaster should move this back to the Vintage forum where it belongs.

    Electrolux Central Vac Info

    Can we get pictures of the whole unit and the accessories? I think yours might be from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s.

    The worst condition royal you’ve ever seen.

    I kinda want to take a crack at fixing it. I've wanted a Royal for a while now. Would you sell it as-is?

    Is the Kirby's airflow and performance over exaggerated?

    Again, the Kirby has a gold CRI seal, while Dyson has none. The Carpet And Rug Institute tests vacuums on all sorts of carpet types, including rubber backed carpet. I have used my Kirby on my rubber backed rugs, and it does an excellent job. It gets stuff that my Shark misses. On a separate...

    Is the Kirby's airflow and performance over exaggerated?

    Thank you. I appreciate your willingness to resolve this in a respectful manner.

    Is the Kirby's airflow and performance over exaggerated?

    It's a "discussion" that you have tried to start on other threads. I am convinced that your intent was to disturb the peace. We get it. You have a thing against Kirby. Repeatedly posting about how much you hate a specific brand is a great way to get a one way ticket to Banville. I've started to...

    Electrolux Model G cord and rewinder repair

    All Electrolux bearings are replaceable if you try hard enough! Just remove the rivets, change the bearing, and replace the rivets with small screws. Works like a charm.

    Is the Kirby's airflow and performance over exaggerated?

    Stop trying to instigate arguments. It's starting to become really obnoxious. The fact that Kirby has a Gold CRI rating and the Dyson didn't even make the Bronze rating is proof enough.

    Electrolux Model G cord and rewinder repair

    Unfortunately, I don't think you can disassemble the Model G cord winder. Your best bet is to try to find a replacement cord winder. I'm sure someone on here has a spare one. DO NOT throw it away.

    Eureka easy glide

    What an interesting vacuum! It's like they added a belt and brushroll to a canister body.
