    Anyone know about these?

    I saw a TV commercial a while back for the Metro Vac blowers for pets. Yeah Vermont Country Store is rather expensive. They have an interesting dry iron under the old Knapp-Monarch name that they sell for $54 but it appears to be a rebranded and recolored Oster.

    What vacuums are you hoping would come out in 2022?

    I agree on bags - I'm tired of changing a bag and then the second time I go to use it already stinks! Also would like to see more canisters - but being in the United States I expect that will stay a more niche market for Aerus, Miele, Tristar, maybe Oreck, Dyson and the like. Hoover and TTI...

    Strange Kenmore ad on eBay

    I got this odd promo for Kenmore "Centennial Brand" vacuums on eBay, and it shows both Kenmore vacuums and Vacmaster vacuums. I guess this is some sort of promo for Cleva? https://www.ebay.com/e/home-garden/2021q4-kenmore?

    My vacuum sightings

    I went back to Goodwill Friday afternoon for my usual browse, and that Fury was still there. I still couldn't convince myself to get it, I also noticed that the top carry handle is missing. Today I went to two estate sales. At the first there was some modern Hoover Bagless upright, a Craftsman...

    My vacuum sightings

    Goodwill has been dry lately for vacuums. But today there were a few modern uprights, along with a Fantom Fury. I do have to wonder if that Fury is the same one that I had mentioned seeing, and passing on, at an estate sale a few weeks ago. They wanted $8.98. It was in decent shape, but the...

    Looking for any info on vintage Montgomery Wards Home Cleaning Center

    Interestingly, I found a catalog page about this unit in the Christmas catalog site: https://christmas.musetechnical.com/ShowCatalogPage/1980-Montgomery-Ward-Fall-Winter-Catalog/0982

    Bissell 2 Motor Power Upright

    I remember that thread, I must not have read all the way through it before though. Very interesting. I Google the model numbers in the picture but nothing came up.

    Kenmore 3.9

    I used to have one of those that a neighbor gave me. Did this model still have the dual stage motor, or the single stage by then?

    The END of Sears, finally.

    Belk Department store here also has the cosmetic counter at the main mall entrance. I remember they used to send those circulars in every Sunday paper that had those perfume and cologne scent samples in them that would make the whole newspaper smell like some stinky perfume. LOL I don't know if...

    Kenmore Progressive canister vac trash find

    Saturday morning there were quite a few garage and estate sales going on so I decided to hit all the ones in one neighborhood in particular. Didn't find anything at them, but driving on one street I saw a Kenmore canister sitting next to some trash cans at a house. I drove on by and after I went...

    Trash vacs

    One find this morning I went out to several yard/estate sales this morning (but managed to miss the one I intended to go to). Anyway while I was headed down a street to one of the sales, I happened to see a blue Kenmore Progressive canister vac parked next to some trash cans. One the way out I...

    The END of Sears, finally.

    I remember summer of 2012 the BOL Kenmore Powermate canister in lime green was on sale for $99. I decided to get one, I got to buy a brand new vacuum from Sears before they went out of business. It's actually still new in the box, never used it. Even then Sears was pretty busy back then when I...

    Favorite Color On A Vacuum

    I like Hunter Green or Deep Red. I also like Ice White, but it doesn't tend to age well, since it shows scratches and dirt, and might yellow with age.

    Domestic Vacuums in Commercial Settings

    Today I went to Winn Dixie, and while I was standing in the checkout line I saw two vacuums up front. One was a green and yellow Bissell Commercial ProBag hard case bagged upright. The other was a gray and orange Hoover Taskvac hard case bagged upright. I know the Bissell Commercial is really...

    Not Enough Female Vacuum Collectors

    Honestly, most men I know aren't interested in repairing or using things like household appliances or vacuum cleaners. They might be interested in things like guns, cars or boats and fixing those. But things such as vacuums or mixers for example, they don't have any interest in using or...

    Kenmore vacuums at other retailers

    For some reason I've noticed most big box retailers don't sell canisters. Walmart here used to have two Eureka bagless canisters (one power nozzle, one straight suction). When Eureka kind of went away a few years ago they stopped selling them. I think they also sold a Bissell power nozzle...

    Robotic vacuums? Anyone?

    I forgot to mention they have all concrete floors (and maybe a few rugs) so deep cleaning isn't an issue for their house.

    Robotic vacuums? Anyone?

    I don't have one, but one of my friends has one that they have run a few times a week. They have a cat and dog and says it helps with the pet hair. It was running when I was there a while back. They "told" it turn off via an app and it backed up to this docking station and a loud vacuum started...

    Kenmore vacuums at other retailers

    The Titan models use basically the same canister and integrated handle/attachment setup of the final Kenmore Progressive series (white/red/purple models) which Panasonic supplied. The Titan power nozzle is different though and looks like an updated of the older ones from the 1990s. The Kenmore...
