    Rinsing a Dyson Shroud

    I think one of my biggest problems also with Dyson's is their reliability issues. Every vacuum shop I know has a love/hate relationship with Dyson. They hate to sell them because they know it will be back but they love the service business driven by the Dysons as well. I don't think the...

    Boomerang Hoover Windtunnel

    You are quite lucky that the woman had enough integrity to admit the filter having been there previously. I am a former salesman and a future pastor with two business degrees and as such I know the general public. I also know that any good business man, such as yourself, would have simply...

    The dreaded Hoover Dual V Windtunnel

    I recently got one of these at goodwill and another at a friends vac shop and have taken the best of both to make one good one, but that's another thread. I have a few extra brush rolls if you need them. Not sure about the gearbox, but I can check.

    Rinsing a Dyson Shroud

    OK... So I've just realize that my last comment sounded kind of rude. I'm not trying to be a d*&$, just trying to spur some good conversation. My apologies if I offended anyone.

    Rinsing a Dyson Shroud

    Yeah, 5 bucks for 3 bags and 2 bucks a belt... OUTRAGEOUS!! You know what's ourtrageous? $600 for a vacuum that doesn't clean any better than a $200 Hoover Windtunnel... Though I prefer $50 for a 10 year old Kirby that will last another 50 years.

    Rinsing a Dyson Shroud

    Boy isn't that bagless/cyclone/no loss of suction/whatever thing awesome?!?! I sure hate my Kirbys where you have to like change the bag every now and then and maybe wipe out the power head. And lemme tell you, when I clean it out I can't vacuum for like 10 minutes!!! You guys sure are lucky...

    Barn Find Electro Hygiene Model 230

    I am an eBay seller, actually I'm about to hit PowerSeller (I'm so excited, for some reason). I wanted to give everyone here a first shot at it. If you want, I will ship overseas, but the shipping would be mighty expensive.

    Barn Find Electro Hygiene Model 230

    I picked this up a little bit ago and it's really not my thing. What do you guys think? Entertaining offers.

    As Requested, The Kirby Heritage G Prototype "Prometheus"

    Actually, it's in to be buffed right now. The Tech Drive works perfectly, though if you notice the switch is one piece where most Generation models it is a two piece switch. The owner offered me a serious trade proposition for it and I'm considering it. He offered me a Filter Queen Majestic...

    200 Canister Vacuums,100 Uprights at Auction today!

    Sometimes in specialty auctions they do sell off large quantities in one lot. It's typically called "Times the Money" where you will be bidding on say, 4 computers at $5 Times the Money, meaning $5 per computer, for a total of $20. It's designed to make people bid higher without necessarily...

    As Requested, The Kirby Heritage G Prototype "Prometheus"

    If you look at the first picture, there is a specially made plastic piece that snaps in the void where the hood would be. To me, that speaks to there never being a headlight at all. Another rumor I've also heard is that near production prototype Kirby's are often given to top execs to take...

    Sunbeam Vacuums: Anybody Farmiliar?

    Looking at their website, it looks like they probably make some Dirt Devil canisters and maybe the Kenmore Magic Blue.

    Sunbeam Vacuums: Anybody Farmiliar?

    I stumbled across this and have never heard of a Sunbeam vacuum. The bagless one is obviously an Electro Pure, but does anyone know who makes the rest of these? Anyone used one? Are they any good? I know that typically, cheap vacuums are bad vacuums, but I think the Dirt Devil Featherlite...
