    kirby or dyson

    I want to share this story.... First of all my opinion on vacuums are that I love them all. Each of them have their own qualities that I like. My best friends bought a brand new Dyson just a month or so ago. They were very excited and were very proud of their new machine and all of its...

    Hehehe yes you are right Charles....

    Ok ...which one is it?

    I see alot of our younger members either do not know the difference or has this changed and I did not know that it had been changed. Do we not say what vacuums are? If vacuums are tanks and what vacuums are canisters? Is not an Electorlux considered a tank? Isn't a GE swivel top, or Filter...

    Bylockt -Lewyt Table Vac

    I would like to ad this even though it is not about vacuums. I think this is so cool to have a vacuum that looks like a piece of furniture. Did they make these in the US?

    Are the Eureka's From the 20's Any good?

    They were not bad for the time... For the time when these came out they were a nice machine for vacuuming what the woman needed in the home to clean with. Those models also I believe came with attacments which I have that go with my machine. On this particular one you have the bag was...

    Frankentronic

    I have seen this as well.... You wonder what people put these machines together and did they really care? They probably just plugged it in and as long as it ran then would put it on the shelf... DAvid
