I have the stainless steel Constellation.

And here I thought I was really accomplishing something when I started using HEPA charcoal bags in my Oreck... 🤷‍♂️

I still haven’t cleaned up the low voltage wiring or taken the old bracket off. I just kinda stuck it where it fit. I have been using different attachments for a while. I’m using a Wessel Werk EBK360 on a silver quick click hose. I also have a Vacuflo suction only kit with the metal tool caddy...

Had a bagless Riccar made by Cyclovac since 2005, was tired of cleaning the filter and one of the circuit boards is going bad. So I decided to replace it with something bagged...

I once witnessed a great sack of lard jump for joy over a far from perfect example of one of these... squealing and clapping so loud it echoed throughout the entire thrift store as flubbed heaved and thrusted in directions previously unknown to mankind. But it’s the great ‘KACK KACK KACK KACK’...

I’ve got a Dri-Star myself, looks more like the Lux version though.

Here’s what I use, a smaller Hitachi cordless drill. From playing with it the 6 setting on the torque clutch it about the same as hand tight. If it’s delicate I’ll lower it.

Absolutely love it! I’m all about finding creative ways of shoving HEPA bags into old vacuums!

Those are so cool! Eureka built the machine specially so they could add that pole and saw. Saw one up close and personal when I had to have a cast removed off of my left arm... I want one, just not $140 bad...

My real interest in vacuums begins with this era, right as they started to be more streamlined and stylish, they look like they’re flying through the air as you push it across the rug! Then we started getting all these fun colors soon after! I love the older machines too, but visually this nd...

Alex Tabor once emptied a water bed with a Kirby that had two hoses attached, one out the window and the other in the mattress drain!
