    The V.C.C.C. Convention

    Question.... Any chance there is going to be a posted list of events, days and time frames? For anyone that is vascillating, it could be helpful to know what happens on each day and the approximate times planned. Thank you.

    The mighty Compact cleaning system

    Tom.... As you know, I have had several Tri-Stars of various iterations over the years. I do think the CS, in spite of it's heavier weight than earlier models, is the best they made. Interesting in that it is the last model too. (I think some tweaks were made to the blade tips to increase...

    Aerus guardian upright

    John You will be able to find the tools/hose at some point and that model can use the hose from several of previous models--however the color may be different. At that price GET IT! I bought one NIB a few years ago and I LOVE it. Aerus/Lux sped up the RPM's of the motor and it is IMO the...

    Best Vacuum Convention Ever! 2021

    Big thanks and hugs to Tom and Donnie! Wow! What a great time I had. I was only there for about 48 hours and it was vacuuming fun with new and old friends. Tom and Donnie were so generous to have opened their home, their business, give their time and feed us as well. I got there mid Friday...

    The Cadillac of all restorations!

    Those older machines just have so much style. Even the bag is well thought out and pretty to look at. The art deco cap and large wheels on the sides.....just stunning! And you made it look like new or better. Nice work! Keep restoring the oldies and some day made a coffee table book of them!

    eBay selling fees

    Kenny, I agree on everything you said in your above post. The fees are so high that I think it is..............let me see, how about outrageous. As you mentioned, the new payment system is what I would call clunky at best. With the old Paypal system, you got paid immediately if the buyer was...

    Kirby Company sold to Right Lane Industries

    Kirby is a very old name---beloved by some and loathed by others. Since their inception, they have served their purpose of getting dirt off your floor(s) and other surfaces into some kind of bag. Their whole business/sales model may be outdated but people are still going to buy them. As a...

    vintage Hoover pics for Easter

    Oh my darlin', you bring so much on yourself. You are correct, I can't verify, " cannot state that I'm glad you're gone". But John, it all gets back to us. You can't trust most people. I would have that you knew that by now. The "ruling", body of the club was so glad to see me and the other...

    vintage Hoover pics for Easter

    Oh John, you make me laugh! You and your ilk were thrilled I didn't show up with any of my posse. We know you don't care for us. Truth be known, the unsavory comments were flying in many directions. I have it on good authority. I don't think you are being nasty but I think you are glad we are...

    vintage Hoover pics for Easter

    John Darlin' I made a trip to Club Betty more than five years ago and the only drink that has a kick in it for me is caffeine or fresh mint. I guess you have been out of the loop? Please fact-check before making unsavory references to a person's preferences for beverages. Now, who needs to...

    vintage Hoover pics for Easter

    Mother of Jefferson Davis, a southerner like me drinking a Yankee drink? That would be more your cup of tea! Pennsylvania is right next door to New York if I remember my geography. We are more Mint Julip people down here. Bottoms up! Don't try to trump me darlin', I'll win.

    How to Judge an Electric Cleaner

    That 961----Wow! A true thing of beauty. Guess it's like finding hen's teeth. The entire brochure is great. Thanks for providing it here.

    Attention folks that own cleaning companies........

    Before this goes to ebay, I thought I'd see if anyone here would like it. It is an Advance, (Nilfisk), commerical VU-500 12 inch. I'd say it was "New In The Box", except that some people will go nuts because I took it out and used it once and used in my own home. It is leftover from when I...
