    HUGE Vacuum Palooza Sale

    Tom, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Sorry to hear about the Duo-Power.  Saw it in one of the pictures so naturally thought it was a sale item: because of its provenance, I can certainly understand why it's not available, though!  Anyway, the only person I can think of who I...

    HUGE Vacuum Palooza Sale

    Even though the sale is over ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... I'm curious to know if you still have a couple of machines you showed still available.  I'm interested in the Eureka Emperor 1212 and the Kenmore Duo-Power.  Are they still available?</span>   <span...

    Hoover Powermax! The good 'ol 90's

    I found one of those myself! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Need to find some additional parts for mine, such as the wands and hose, and maybe a new agitator -- but otherwise beautiful shape!  And all for the princely sum of $4.99.  Will post a pic sometime soon.</span>  ...

    "Monster Mash Bash 6"

    Might I come? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">That is, of course, providing that my schedule will allow?  It's been so long since I've seen you last -- would love to see you again, and would love to meet your new kitty too!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet...

    Tell what you think about these Bissell and Clarke uprights

    @joerwheeler ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Would the Italian brand you're referring to have been Lindhaus, by any chance?  I'm aware of a scruuber-vac that they sell: I think it's called the "Lindwash" or something like that.</span>   <span style="font-family...

    Dirt Devil on As Time Goes By

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I remember the Dirt Devil, but I don't remember ever seeing a Turbopower on As Time Goes By -- or any other Hoover model, for that matter!  The only other vacuum that I remember seeing on the show was this Electrolux Powersystem upright that...

    Has anyone seen or used this?

    SPT ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... is a Chinese company known also as SunPenTown.  I have seen many of their appliances such as induction cooktops on eBay.  I know nothing more about the company, and as such would be quite leery of their products.  Just my nickel's...

    How do you change the headlight on a Eureka 5071D?

    Thank you, Bud! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I should have thought of that, but I really appreciate you reminding me of the procedure.  It's a standard procedure on Eurekas of that era, from what I recall.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'...

    How do you change the headlight on a Eureka 5071D?

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I just got a Eureka Self-Propelled ESP upright, model 5071D, and it needs a new headlight bulb.  Problem is, I'm not sure how to change it!  I can change bulbs in the non-SP models with ease, but the SP models are a mystery to me.  Can anyone...

    a question about my hoover upright

    Convertibles are WONDERFUL carpet cleaners ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... but their attachment suction is abominable!  And to my recollection, they've always been that way.  (Please understand, I'm not bashing 'em -- I love Convertibles a bunch -- but I'm just...

    Monster Mash Bash 5

    Drat! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Regrettably, I'm not going to be able to make this one, John.  I've recently begun singing with our Band during our late service: on top of that, I'm now in charge of the sound for BOTH services!</span>   <span style="font-family...

    Advice, anyone?

    My two favorites are ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... the Epic 6500SR and the Hi-Tech 2100.  Both are really good plastic body machines: if you're planning to add one to your collection, you can't go wrong with either one of these.  I have the Epic 6500SR myself, but...

    Got a new Floormate!

    I have the same one that John Lucia does <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">and I simply love it.  It's the FloorMate Spinscrub 500.  I did my kitchen and dining room floors with it yesterday: I really can't believe how wonderfully clean the floors come out when I use it!  And...

    Eureka Model 2072

    Carbons <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">The shop that I mentioned, Hesco, should have the carbons.  Check the link that I posted in my earlier reply for their website.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>
