@Sanifan . . . By the way, this is the LG LuV350P I'm waiting to learn of. It weighs in at 17.8 pounds. The company is following the trend for more maneuverability and thus have worked in a swivel mechanism for those that have to run a slalom course while cleaning. Customer reviews -- not a...

@Sanifan . . . Hi, I share you're feeling. I've known and grown up around such people as the gentleman you mention. My grandfather was one and the thing that killed him was moving away from our farm to live in the city -- more for my benefit than his. Inactivity quickly started him on the...

@gsheen . . . My, how things change. What used to be simply modern convenience is now seen as a malady of the times. Having grown up around heavy everything, I didn't pay much attention to weight in regard to either of my LGs. However, weight complaints do seem to start here at as low as 15...

An interesting presentation and the music make you pat your foot.

@kenkart . . . It's funny but whenever I think of protection from dust, I first think of the vacuum's motor. I rest easier feeling assured there's minimal chance for dust build up in the cleaner's working parts. For that reason, I too liked Filter Queen. My peeves were that Health-Mor left...

I like bags but . . . During 2011, I actually worked doing demos at several chains stores for LG's Luv200 and LuV300. At the end of that campaign I got to keep both cleaners. Both machines sit nicely in CR ratings. I especially like the LuV300 you've posted an image of. It has great...

Maybe this will help . . . I'm no expert but why don't you try contacting Spencer. They've been in business since 1892. The link below is to its site. http://www.spencerturbine.com/about-us/company-history.html

This article came in as a news alert this morning. It's not necessarily news but I thought I'd share it. Venson http://news.hjnews.com/news/article_edaed514-762a-11e1-b5ff-001871e3ce6c.html

"filthy queens" They may have gained such a rep by way of the wide-mouthed dust container. Back in the day, if I emptied it inside my apartment, I used to lay yesterday's newspaper over the top of the bin and then invert it. You had to be careful in drawing the edges of the newspaper together...

@mark40511 . . . "All this talk about bags has me wondering - has technology improved the paper bags?" At the beginning of things the disposal dust bags of a number of machines were to designed to work integrally with the individual system it was designed for. As has been stated many times...

@danemodsandy . . . "What IS getting a little hard to find is Electrolux-branded "C" bags . . ." That's quite true. Unfortunately, if I didn't have a lot or space to show off stuff at my last place, I've even less now. Were I to re-adopt an Electrolux today I'd probably be using it and would...

Not rare at all . . . My granddad always said a fish would never get caught as long as he kept his mouth shut. I can't see why, except for display purposes, anyone would buy or sell old consumables in the first place. Style C bags (new) as well as old Electroluxes remain in abundance. It's...

@danemodsandy . . . Hi, This one bears "Compact Electra" and the handle is not white as Charlie Lester's image shows but more an amber colored plastic -- maybe with the gold flecks the company used in some of its molded plastic attachments. Anyway -- it's interesting but I think the seller...

@Sanifan . . . Very early vacuums at one time did require oiling. Then, by whatever wonderful technology, they came up with bearings that supposedly never needed oiling. This also applied to household items like fans. No oiling not only meant a little less bother for the user but spared the...

If this don't beat all . . . Someones put up a totally chromed Compact for sale. Unfortunately, there is no provenance to make the high price go down more easily...

@gsheen . . . It's all probably apples and oranges now as there are too many low-end Hoovers and Eurekas -- and you name it -- to make seeing any difference easy. However, in the growing world of "toss-it" vacuums, it would appear Eureka and Hoover are more friendly toward independent vac...

@Davinator . . . Wow, thanks! The video link you included leads to the starting point of the question. I saw it a little while ago but was under the impression no others were available and thought just this one guy had a prototype. I didn't think about the nozzle again until I saw it turn up...

@gsheen / djkain2007 The Sharks come with a long warranty. How inconvenient is it to send a machine back for repair or replacement? Is there any report of Shark not honoring warranty? It's about 8:50 a.m. here in sunny Florida as I poke around my house and at this keyboard. I took it on...

@tolivac . . . Hi, Isn't the return of the oil port a little like stepping back in time. I recall when old machines were proudly badged with "No oiling required." What happened? Venson

It looks like GE to me . . . This machine is very similar, to the MV series hand vacs GE sold. I know they dated back to at least the late 1960s.
