    Buy old or new?

    Kirby I bought the Kirby. It works and shines like new! I love the sound it makes when you adjust it to the right height. My carpets look better already! Nice tools, not like the junk they include these days.

    When it rains it pours!

    Pansonic I had 2 of the 6220. One for home and for business back in the 80's. Much like a dial a matic, except the hose did not lock. The one bad thing about that vac, otherwise excellent and always top rated.

    Buy old or new?

    Hoover I bought a Hoover Platinum, brought it and it would not start. The change bag light came on. Took it back and was told at Sears they have problems with them. Otherwise, would have liked it. Tried it in the store and was impressed. Chan

    New Kenmore Elite upright

    I reviewed this vac a while back, right after I got it I am updating it now. The hose is impossible to work with. I called Sears and asked if they made a reach=out hose for this machine. They said no. I told them how it constantly tips over with the least amount of stress on the hose usually...

    Kenmore Elite Upright

    I just got my new Consumers Guide and they did vacs again. The new top upright is the Kenmore Elite. I bought one. IT was out of the box and I got it for 206.00. A steal. It is loaded and very powerful. The most powerful vac I have ever used! My only complaint is the hose. IT tips over the...

    Hoover has CHANGED their round Convertible belts!!

    belts I bought these at a vac store where they all just hang on a hook, so I suppose they must be generic. I think I will order some online from Hoover. Thanks for the tips. Dave, you really keep your belts in the fridge next to your carrots?
