Riccar What is the difference between a Riccar and a Simplicity? We have a new Simplicity Commercial at one of my jobs. It is nice for carpets, but akward with the hose like most uprights. It is so powerful, it tips over when you pull on the hose to stretch it out. Very cheap tools also. I...

u4007 That is the same vac I bought last week for 10 bucks at Goodwill. Mine is in great shape, and I can't stop cleaning with it! Mine is more of a tan color. the one in the video looks gold. I remember shag carpet, I was there! I hope to find a deluxe tool set for it. Anyone coming to...

Filter Queen What is the difference between a Filter Queen and a Princess?

Singer Wow! What some great info.I think Hamilton Beach took over some of Westinghouse's small appliances.For one their famous roaster-oven, I have my parents Westinghouse model from around 1950, still works! , I think they also took over their irons, the odd ball baconer, and their skillets...

There is a Westinghouse upright for sale on Ebay. It looks a lot like a Singer. Did Singer make their uprights? I know they made Sunbeam.

Milwaukee Hi, I sent my check last week. I sure it does not get cancelled. This would be my first time. and it is close to home. chan55

backwards belt So, I got my new old hoover on Sunday, and I have been cleaning up a storm. I thought it pushed funny. Tipped it over, and sure as heck the belt was on wrong. Reversed it and now it pushes way easier. I am loving this machine! It is so quiet.

Triple action Hey, You won't believe this! I dropped off some stuff at Goodwill today, and just for the heck of it went inside. There it was a Hoover U4003 Custom Convertible for 9.99 in great shape! Good bag with a fresh C inside good belt brush, even the light works. I just brought it home...

I bought a new house in Aug. of last year. The carpet is not of the best quality as it was a model home, but it seems to be looking worn already. I have no kids or pets anymore, just me, and I work all the time. So not too much foot traffic. I have a Kenmore upright tol, and a Kenmore...

Hi, I can't seem to find the Milwaukee registration form. I had it and lost the link. I also could not get it to print. Could you put it out there one more time? Thanks, Chan55

There is a Sunbeam canister on ebay, starting bid is 49.00. I remember when that vac sold for 26.99 at the store I worked in 1973, because I sold one to my cousin. Isn't it strange how the price went up?

milwaukee I plan to come. Just waiting for my tax refund to make all the arrangements. Chan

Lark I always find it interesting the way Hoover would use the same name for different types of vacs. Was not Lark an upright in the 50's?

DAM I always wondered how the DAM's without rug adjustment worked? I know the power drives were self adjusting, but it seems some of the regular ones do not have a lever in front.

Underappreciated I feel GE made excellent uprights in the 1960's and 70s. Loved the hose set up.I never see them around, and I want one!

convention Hi, I am planning on coming. Is there anyone from the Green Bay area attending? I hate to drive alone. This is my first time. Are there any good vacs for sale at these meets? I am looking for a couple. I will send my $ and registration soon. i like to party. Are there any party...

Dyson I work in retail, and I have had trouble with Dysons wrecking carpets. It is not cool when they come back to me and tell me their problems. They return the vacs and try to fight it out with the carpet companies. I would never own a Dyson.

Porta Power I have the Commercial Porta Power. It works ok. but the hose is awful. I use an old Dial A matic hose on it.The bag is a mess to clean out. I should convert it someday/

GE Does your canister take Eureka bags?

GE Walmart sold those GE's a few years back. They sell other small appliances branded GE, but they are made by other companies. Somehow they got a hold of the GE trademark.I bought one of the griddles. It worked fine until the control fell apart. They also had some GE canisters and I beleive a...
