Tom, that is a very good point!

I saw one of those at an outdoor flea market about a year ago.  It looked a lot like a baby Panny.. I love "mini" machines and seriously considered it, but the handle was loose, the bumper was missing, the bottom plate was half on and half off, it didn't have any attachments and the body was...

I've never seen a Hoover like that with the power nozzle, but I have seen the Reginas with one... that is very cool and definitely worth a day off!  The idea of dying the plastic is really cool too!  Can't wait to see it finished!  

Wow, Chase, broken handle or not, that is the deal of the century!  Congrats!  It should be simple to get the handle fixed and even if it costs a few bucks, who cares!  I think I need to move to Indiana!  LOL   <span style="font-size: 14px;">After playing with my Simplicity, I want a...

Cool...  we should  get together...  I'm already planning a get together with Fantomvacuumfan sometime soon... he's in St. Pete...  btw, my Simplicity looks a lot like yours with mismatched cord hooks!  It was missing the bottom one and I had to order it and it doesn't match the top one, but...

Hey there... yeah, I'd be glad to make vacuum friends in real life :o)  I've been in FL my whole life... where did you come from?  I'm Aleroluver on youtube if you want to look me up, I have several vacuum videos on there :o)   Is your last name Pierce?  I only ask because I saw your email...

Chase, a Radiance for 26 dollars...  can you bottle your luck up and mail it out to the rest of us LOL   Tom, thanks for the pictures and info about the two machines.  What is that bagless thing in the background between the Riccar and Simplicity?  Do they both have the same exact dual fan...

Awesome finds... I think I need to make a trip over to Daytona!

Thanks for explaining thatl Tom...  It just didn't seem that special to me and I couldn't figure out why they all loved it so much!  

These were available way before TTI took over Hoover... back in the early 2000s, they were also branded as Dirt Devil Platinum Force machines and sold alongside the Platinum Force bagless uprights and hand vacs...

I've noticed that virtually every vacuum cleaner shop recommends the Royal carpet cleaner pictured below.  I've never used one, so I'm wondering, what's the deal with these?  Are they really better than a Hoover Spin Scrub?  Do they extract better and why do vacuum shops love them so much?  Does...

Chase, you do have good luck, don't you!  I too wondered what was up with all the Tacony finds lately... I found that Simplicity a few weeks ago and now everybody is finding Riccars...  I know you will love it... my Simplicity is a powerful, hungry beast!  I tried to suck up a whole paper towel...

I never check the vintage forum because I am more interested in contemporary machines, but when I remember to, I'm always amazed at what I find!  John, it looks like another success...  who can beat good food and fun vacuums and friends and kitties thrown in the mix just for good measure.  Makes...

Awesome score...  I thought I did well to find mine for 60 bucks a few years ago, but it didn't come with any attachments or the shampooer... still, one of my favorite Kirbys and that really is an awesome deal.  Have fun with it.  

Congrats...  Nice to have the metal brush and plate... I'm still enjoying my Simplicity...  I was going to say the same thing about putting that personal information out on the internet... you have to be careful these days.   Thanks for the picture of the attachments... shows me what I'll...

Good idea, Ian :o)   I finally made a video and got around to writing some general thoughts about all three of my high end clean air machines...   Comparison between <span class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small; font-weight: normal...

My daily drivers area all clean air machines, so I would add the ability to clean shag and groom shag to them if I could...  I've never met a clean air machine yet that works well on shag (and in truth, many fan first machines also don't work well on shag), and I loathe having to get out a Kirby...

These three are my current Daily Drivers... I was alternating between the Simplicity and Windsor before I got the Miele S7 Salsa, but now I'm with Tom's Dan....  the Miele will be my Daily Driver for a very long time now... it totally rocks and I'm still in disbelief over the fact that I...

Thanks guys...  I would collect vacuums even if nobody else did because I've always loved them, but it really magnifies the fun to have people to share the joy with.   Chase, with your luck, I'll be surprised if you don't soon find someone to pay you to take a "headlight" model off their...
