That's a Rotho made in Germany by the Robert Thomas company. If you can imagine cross breeding a Rainbow with a Miele, this is what you would get. I tried one at the VDTA show and was extremely impressed. Very high quality components and easy to use. www.robert-thomas.de

That's a neat cleaner Jeff. I've always loved Hoover's commercial line. I guess it's because I envision them being used in a posh hotel cleaning beautiful rugs.

Tom, I've been meaning to post on this thread all week, but WOW! I love these unique versions of various Hoovers. And I'm glad you got a Sovereign! Congratulations.

Guy! You've emailed me about this before, and I TOTALLY FORGOT! I'm so sorry. Yes I can definitely get you the Miele B Bags. Wasn't there another piece you needed for it? I will place the order tomorrow. You have to do me a favor though. If you haven't heard from me by the end of the week...

I don't have one, but I've used them before, and I've always been very impressed. They're quiet, have great power, and very versatile.

My mother had that EXACT stick broom in the kitchen pantry for when she didn't want to get out the Rainbow. I don't remember what happened to it, but I'll never forget the way it sounded and smelled. Every now and then I'll get requests for the bags, so they're still out there working away.

Unique Pet Odor and Stain Eliminator Cory I sell this stuff in my store, and also use it in the repair room to deodorize bags. It works wonders. It's a bacterial enzyme, so you need to dilute it with WARM water to activate the bacteria. If you use it full strength it won't work as well. I took...

Nope, but you can definitely see the Miele influences on this, as well as other cans like Fuller Brush, Euro-Pro, etc.

(sigh) one more time

I think these Lewyt branded machines were more popular in Canada. I have an old VDTA mag somewhere that has a picture of the uprights and the canisters. Here's an example of one of their cans

I have an aunt in Florida who had one of the real small Panasonic uprights when I was a kid. I remember it being extremely quiet, and I'd always use it when I went to her house. One of my suppliers introduced this upright a couple of years ago, supposedly saying it was taken from the molds of...

Hey Bobby, great to see you over on this side. I thought I sent you some belts for that machine. I know the bags didn't work, but did you get the belts?

Actually this could very well be a Kenmore labeled machine. For a very short time, Eureka made this canister for Sears. I've seen the owners manual for it, but have never seen the machine. This is a rare piece.

Charlie, what a beautiful Classic III. You truly can't appreciate the red color until you see the machine all buffed out like yours is.

Congratulations Ross! What a neat machine. It looks like you have quite a bit of tile. Have you considered getting a 14" wide Wessel Werk bare floor tool? It makes cleaning large areas of hard surface an absolute pleasure.

Your'e more than welcome Mike! Isn't that shade of red with the silver accents to die for?

Guy Filter Queens and Princess canisters were both made in the U.S.A by Health-Mor industries, first in Chicago, then Cleveland (correct me if I'm wrong, not 100% sure on that). Filter Queens were sold door to door and Princess were sold in vacuum stores. The upright you have was made for...

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.

Rug damage When my Dyson rep brought in the DC17, I hadn't taken but maybe 3 strokes with it across the gray plush in my store, and there was already a ball of carpet in the tank. The brushroll on that machine was just a step below a wire brush in stiffness. Due to the popularity of the Dyson...

Congratulations Patrick! Sebo's are probably the best built upright on the market today. And the blue/yellow color is very classy. Let us know what you think of it once you try it out.
