Just throwing this out there so those not familiar with Miracle Mate can get a look-see . . .

@twocvbloke . . . Hi, The Miracle Mate never posed much of a problem for me regarding cord length save for doing the stairs that led to the street at the place I used to live in. But, that’s what extension cords are for. A bigger issue for me was making sure I had enough bags and filters on...

But there's more!!! Out of the cast-body vacuums, Vortech Force and Miracle Mate have cord reels. Regarding all, the hose fitting are the same though I won't swear re Vortech Force. The virtue of these machines is good suction, sheer durability and not a lot in the designs to promote air...

Here you go . . . The Air Storm and The Patriot vacuums are made by Schoettler Research and Engineering. The throw-away bag collars for both are d-shaped. (If it has a full cover and gizmo for lifting the bag -- that's Miracle Mate.) You can call toll-free and get a heads-up where as to...

Hoover clip . . . The Garry Moore Show -- Dick van Dyke and Chuck McCann . . .

Hope this is the right place to put this . . . I actually owned one of these back in the '70s. This one looks like a real stunner. AND . . . I have to admit I wouldn't be telling a soul about this if I could afford to get into serious bidding...

@danemodsandy Hi, You've a great and enviable sense of thrift that I certainly appreciate. As well, I thoroughly agree that there are used items that can, either "as is" or with minimal tending to, serve as good used as when new. Yet, we have a lot of the same down my way here in Florida but...

@sebo_fan For a moment you gave me a most humorous remembrance of Tenerife, to wit: "I know you Americans -- you all have televisions in your kitchens." If all you say is happening in Europe is true, man, are you in trouble. Here I was thinking you guys were winning BUT you're becoming...

@uksausage A lot has to do with perceived need. Unfortunately, for we Americans, satisfaction is in no way intended as part of the game plan for America consumers by those out to sell us things. We "need" everything and at least two of everything at that. Europe, while I was there, appeared a...

@blackheart . . . I'm glad you did the test but I don't think that it's all about one session but more. If you check the base of carpet fibers in high traffic areas and entryways and you only see minute or insignificant amounts of dirt and grit, life's wonderful. It means that you're...

@collector2 Que linda! You're bringing tears to my eyes.

If it were me . . . Considering the vacuum has had forty-five years of use, I'd ask for an estimate regarding the replacement of the entire motor with the shop's warranty of service. And, by all means change the hose or have it repaired. One supplier, Hesco Inc. 1-800-822-7467), still has...

Well . . . If you are old enough for the name Betty Furness to ring a bell, you'll recall that Westinghouse was a big player in the American home appliance market back in the day. So far back that probably a rock in an ancient cave somewhere has the brand name hammered into it. Nonetheless, I...

I forgot to ask . . . Considering devices like drawer vac, etc., what kind of central vac system do you have to have to support general household duty plus extras?

"Frankly I'm awaiting the day Dyson brings out a bod Nice idea, but I'm afraid it could turn kinky.

@gmerkt Hi, Because they were always taking a stab at something new, Sears' Kenmore vacs over the years were great favorites. The brand was always my old stand-by when someone asked for recommendation of a good, affordable canister. However, the new models appear to be having quality...

Easy answer . . . The "Hoover buzz" maybe. It was unmistakable.

@luxman107 Yep, indeed. The hose has a braided outer cover though I don't know what the material beneath is. We probably won't ever be seeing these in the States. Several yeas ago, the only 110 volt models they supplied were for Jamaica I think. But you never know. My granddad always...

@twocvbloke . . . Hi twocvbloke, Thanks for the heads-up. I'm sorry to learn I missed viewing them. gsheen, if your talking the equivalent of $3,300 USD that's about 24,932 in South African Rand, correct? Wow! Well, if you want a laugh, I'll tell you what I've been told -- "It costs to...

When is someone going to attempt to do a test re subsurface Hi, Henrique, most respectfully, sorry, but I have to agree -- you vacuum way too fast. The object is to let the machine do the work. Also, a very boring detail, but for an upright used at a more relaxed pace, four passes per...
