    Electrolux /AEG nimble

    They retail for $299 USD or roughly 2400 rands, but I've been able to find them for around 215 nib on ebay or around 1700 rands. IDK what the shipping would be but I might be able to make a deal with you if you could ship me a De Stijl Dyson dc04 or dc07, which are impossible to find in North...

    Please recommend me a vacuum for cockroaches

    I would recommend a shop vac or something of similar build, maybe a filter queen. The reason why is because the roaches will likely live and will definitely not be turned to roachy goo by travelling through a fan blade. Plus, once you've sucked them all up, you can just take the bin out in the...

    Yeah, I'll go and take some pictures today and post them tonight, EST. How far off is your time from ours BTW? Just Curious...

    Electrolux /AEG nimble

    I don't have one but have looked at them several times and can go right down the street to the 24 hour store and look at one for you. What do you want to know?

    Any Pictures of Rebuilt (Color-Keyed) Kirbys from 1962-1981?

    I have a 510ish series (not sure what model exactly because the tag is gone) rebuilt with classic III red.

    New Vacuum

    As I understand, the new Simplicity has 13 mil brushes as opposed to 9 mil. They are stiffer than the old ones and reach further into the carpet. Along the dual motors, steel brush rolls, great build quality, and reasonable prices, I think this would do great for you.

    Can I offer items for sale here?

    I am not a member of any note, but I would nonetheless absolutely love to see a marketplace section of this forum. I understand they may be working on that, but please do not assign any credibility to that statement as I am not sure if I read that or simply imagined it. I am personally...

    Dyson knows....

    Ok, so... Fantom was the first vacuum company created by James Dyson. Fantoms have a lot of the same technology and minor design features of Dysons because the same guy made them both. If you look at a Fantom, the black and the sharp edges don't exactly harken to a Dyson, but when you look at...

    Dyson knows....

    The aesthetics of the machine are probably not part of the lawsuit. A lot of canisters look like that these days. What was probably in the lawsuit was the cyclonic technology.

    Hey, no problem!

    Today's Haul from Goodwill

    That hose will fit any Kirby Generation model, though the G6 would have had a black one come with it, this gray color came with the G4. I would think that for the hose by itself, probably $5 would be fair???? Let me know. Also, if you want, I do have a full set of G4 accessories with hose and...

    Rinsing a Dyson Shroud

    I agree. I feel for that kind of money you should get a good solid motorized power head that can really dig in.

    Dyson clear bin, not so clear..?

    That's a testament to the level of service you provide at your shop. That canister looks great! Like brand new!

    Rinsing a Dyson Shroud

    Awesome! I'm just pulling your leg, btw. I like to play Devil's advocate sometimes. And though I am a huge fan of the Kirby product, there is a reason I don't sell new ones anymore. I believe that for the performance they deliver, the low cost of maintenance and supplies, and the...

    Today's Vacuum of the Day

    Today's, which may be yesterday's to some of you day dwellers, vac of the day is the GE Twin Power. I totally dig this thing! Anyone have one they would part with?

    Vintage eBay thread #1

    Anyone looking for a decent GE swivel top? I found this one while wandering eBay. Why the heck would you list a vintage vacuum under large appliances when there is a vintage vacuum section...

    Super Rare Gold Kirby on eBay!!

    Holy crap theres a Kirby ComVac on there too. What is that? I've never heard of that before. Price is steep, but probably worth it.

    Strange Combination

    I've noticed the same thing in Fort Wayne, IN where a Miele Dealer now carries Oreck and Sanitaire believe it or not. And another shop carries Oreck and Simplicity.

    Super Rare Gold Kirby on eBay!!

    These are extremely rare and this one looks like it's never been used and he's asking less than the price of a new one! They only make a couple dozen a year at most and they are only given to their top distributors as an award at their conference. This would be the prize jewel of any...
