    Most unpleasant-sounding vacuum ever?

    Kirbyg6 I hadn't thought about Dyson, but that's so true. I was so excited when a family member gave me his V10, but after awhile its so annoying!

    Most unpleasant-sounding vacuum ever?

    i would say my dirt devil dynamite and my eureka superlite and superboom. I would have to disagree with you about orecks. Mine isn't too bad. Also is AW.org another vacuum cleaner collector website? I tried to look it up but I couldn't find anything.

    Electrolux Z62 - replacement tube

    I’m not familiar I’m not familiar with that model but assuming it’s similar to the Electrolux xxx this hose should fit it. I know you’re in the UK so I hope you can find something similar. Be sure you get a newer vinyl one. Sorry for the late response -Jack...

    Great week of finds!

    Thanks again! I was hoping I could find some generic tablets for the elite. I’m not sure if I have the HEPA bags. I know the green ones aren’t, but I do have I white bags. Those might be HEPA. -Jack

    Great week of finds!

    Thanks Barry! Here’s some pictures! The elite is very clean and loud but it cleans great! The oreck is incomplete, it needs a new motor but it looks nice. It also needed some duck tape. The oreck also had a burn on the outer bag, cigarette maybe? I was also wondering if the elite was a Kmart or...
