    Bit of a shopping spree

    Dan thanks for the tip with the Gold, it did help a it to glide much better on the carpet, I may have to keep her a bit longer now. The Target Oreck is a great machine, I was initially afraid that they would cheapen it up for the big box market but they did not.

    Shark Navigator

    I own one and at first thought highly of it, after a few months I started to hate it, now it is relished to the back of the closet in the garage. By biggest proplems with it was it started to smell bad every-time I used it. The brush roll is very cheap clogging and bogging down every time it...

    Bit of a shopping spree

    I found a Kirby Ultimate G with all attachments at a Garage Sale for $35.00, all it needed was a new belt and a bit of cleaning. I ended up giving it to my neighbor to replace her Regina Housekeeper which had seen many better days.

    Look to buy

    I really would love the maroon, that is the one that my mom had, or the green which is the one my grandma used. However I really would take any one it is more of a sentimental item than anything.

    Collection pics

    Love the Eureka Widetrack! Both sets of my grandparents had one I remember as a kid my grandma would let me run it in the sun room, she would always say "its just too much for a little boy to handle someone could get hurt" Very Impressive collection I am very envious.

    anyone tried the new Bissell Big Green

    I rented one from Lowes about a month ago to do the carpets at my Grandmas, the suction was great,however is just seemed a little awkward to use compared to the Rug Doctor. I don't know if it was just because I was use to the rug doctor or what. I did like the fact that the clean water tank was...
