as a cologne? *shocked here* Goodness! Ok, it might work with somebody who is pleasing to the eye right from the spot on, but would it work with the original Kirby guy? I have my serious and well proven doubts..... The idea by itself is somewhat cheesy to me (if not outright crazy). Ok, I will...

wow, how impressive! Thanks for all the links and information. 30 amps? Now this is what I call reasonable power. Result: Our dealer here is probably selling a gimmick. I love the classic aluminum nozzles! This is how a vac should look like (just my personal taste). And the Hide-A-Hose system...

nice! Good pictures of all the different units. I had a friend who owned one (a Nutone), yet I found the super-long hose a bit ackward to stow away. The more I was fascinated by some internet video about a unit which can retract its hose into the vertical standpipe just by capping its end with...

Danish! my fault. Electrolux is Swedish. They are so alike, I throw them into one big pot: "the Northern Ones" Volta and Trident as well. Sorry.

hey Seamus good idea, but not so good. If you want THIS particular model without somebody snagging it off you, then go ahead. Otherwise you could just pe patient as spider in its web and wait. Sometimes these go for a dozen of Euros/Pounds that is (used). But what I found here is: Hotels and...

ho-hum.... So you had no idea.... Ok. I mean: If you open up a website that apparently is making profit for you one or the other way, then there is only one single piece of advice: Learn how to use knife and fork before going to a restaurant. Are you really asking us to flood you with all...

Now look at this: Miele As if there was some magic around, once you talk about it, it shows up: (oh, I forgot: This is called Miele Turbobürste S 020, was sold in the 70s) Cheers! http://cgi.ebay.de/Miele-Bodenduse-Burste-FAST-NEU-/220786533307?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item3367e723bb

look what I have found! It seems that there is no real connection between Vorwerk, Regina, AEG and other stick vac brands, but I could find out that the name was "Gustav Brachhausen" (probably the English pronounciation BraKhauen might have turned it into BraThausen accidentially, think of...

wow, Alex! Really Brathousen? (or Brathausen?) Not that I might know of any of this history, but Brathausen sounds like some very old Northern German name to me. Where were they from, any ideas? This is really astounding as here some older ideas might have merged into one and then have split...

not the faintest, but hey Neil, while I have absolutely no ideas about any Elektrikbrooms, I find them more than interesting and wow. (The first one I ever encountered was an 80s model in baby-blue plastic) But yay! Yours seems to be all metal and those side clamps suggest some canning jar...

very interesting to see as I have already heard of "original" Lux machines being sold under the "Dometic", "Trident", "Viking" or "Volta" label, but apparently this "Turbinette" thing is a Miele makeover. I had seen it with 70s and 80s Miele vacs. Of course it can be the case that Miele...

holy Mother! This is unreal! The Kirby looks shinier than a freshly bought one would look like. Just supernatural! Man, you are a genius! Kudos and an admiring shamalama bow. I am blinded. How the heck...? I am stunned! Wow!

Yes, grinding motor noise hello all, yes, a grinding motor noise (and NO, it is not caused by not having the separator cleaned). Started by this thread I took the effort to get hold of a Rainbow, a D-series model that is. It does NOT have this sound. It sounds just like any regular vacuum (it...

liking and not liking are two diffrent things / being down t Doug, I had expected some answer such as yours. Rob, no harm done to you, just keep them coming those pictures. As I stated above: All looks quite intriguing and interesting to me. While I could put up with some cord clips...

They ship within Germany only, but I could help out. A nice 70s Hoover goodie. http://cgi.ebay.de/Staubsauger-Hoover-Modell-U2002-70er-Jahre-Design-/200609744326

NO CORD WINDER? ROFLMAO!!!! lame excuses! I am shocked to see that the Rainbow does not have a rectractable cord AT ALL! (Have never seen one live, that is why I feel so jaw-dropping). Almost ANY canister has one, the last ones not having one were gone in the early seventies here.... Quote...

while the majority here agrees, I tend to to disagree Scam? Good point.... Is a scam just something plainly fraudulous? Or does it take something stronger to swallow the medicine? To me a fraud / scam is anything that does NOT stand up to its own promises. Simply put: Why does Kirby have to...

say hi to Ken anyway this looks all promising and sleek and "wanting to touch and use it". Ken seems to be a person to take promises for a "must-be-done" (versprochen ist versprochen as we say in German = a promise IS a promise) - no matter if made in the USA or here or in France or anywhere...

A most wonderful machine, but... Hey this Rainbow is the most beautiful one I have ever encountered. Neat features, very innovative. But one single thing remains that might make me have second thoughts about buying one myself: Apparently this one is an eSeries model, so does it have this new...

sheesh.... so what? Ok, dust mites and their "residues" may have a certain impact on allergic persons but what the heck? They've been around since stone age. I am an outdoor person camping in the hills, hello frogs and other critters, welcome! As some moms in my school friends neighborhoods...
