    Vax LiFE unplugged

    btw Though this is pricey for US standards, It is decent and surprisingly quiet if you have pets around and need to make quick, but thorough pick ups.

    Vax LiFE unplugged

    Great Advice This was great advice. My justification for the $$ was that it would save me dragging out the big vacs. But who was I kidding, as I never mind dragging those out and will continue. But anyhow, definitely top of the line for quick picks ups on floors, and for the first time...

    Any New News from Kirby?

    All kidding aside... your "contact" has more more info than any of my "contacts". Without putting you in an awkward position, did he mention a release date??

    Any New News from Kirby?

    We saw those patent designs on here a few months ago that I recall were a blue shade. And it was great to see those in lieu of anything else, but I have a feeling it will still be quite different than what we saw here. Kirby is better than Al Qaeda at keeping their secret safe. With the possible...

    Hoover Decade 80--A Dream Realized.

    Nice I always loved these and the Decade 800 series. Seemed more like a modern day model 65 Convertible than some of the actual late model Convertibles did.

    Glamorous Hoovers - 1940's and 50's

    150 I wasn't there at the time, but I am certain that I've read that the 150 was the first to offer side conversion. Chris.

    The Glamorous Hoovers - Part II the 1950's

    Tool Suction Indy, again, from the other thread you are our eyes and ears. I love this series of machines as many of us do. Talk to us. Many more of us know the longer lived Convertible series. Do you have any sense of comparison between this series and the Convertibles? You referenced the...

    Glamorous Hoovers - 1940's and 50's

    More Details For those of us that live vicariously through you, can you answer a few questions? I could probably crash the vacuumland servers, so I will prioritize (knowing I can ask you more later....) Can you tell us more about the 305? I have heard it is this mysterious machine and, though...

    The Glamorous Hoovers - Part II the 1950's

    Interesting to read the perspective of the designers of this specific series of machines. I know the 634 was a B model to the 63, but I think that color was well ahead of it's time in that era and the beginning of a softer look from the more industrial colors. Possibly the 29's red shade as...

    Vax LiFE unplugged

    what say you..... Hey Jack. Happy New Year, and as I type this in the afternoon here in Eastern Standard time on 12/31/09, it is probably already 2010 over there. Never did master the time difference. Happy New Year, regardless of the exact hour that it turns over. Anyhow, did you ultimately...

    Hoover Windtunnel T- Series on HSN

    Consumer Reports Consumer Reports just rated the Hoover T series and gave it a very favorable review. Rated very good on carpet and excellent for Floors, tool suction and pet hair. Chris

    I really like that Kirby page

    Since Kirby's sales method has always been so centralized and devoid of media and magazine coverage, there is little representation in the photo of the day. Even though my fascination started with 516 through present day, I always enjoy seeing this pic of the day and always inspect it...

    (MTV does not present...) LiFE unplugged...

    Impressive That's an impressive amount of stuff that it got out of your carpets for a non-deep cleaner and considering the number of vacs that I assume you have. I think I mentioned this to you in your other thread, but I have the U.S. Hoover handvac that uses this battery and it is very...

    what's your daily driver

    I recently bought a Hoover WindTunnel 2 bagged at Costco that I love. Not the original bagged WindTunnel from 97 that I was one of the first to have. This is the newer version that originally had the bagless version with the supposed self cleaning, continually rotating filter that I also had to...

    Vax LiFE unplugged

    HandHeld Hey. I don't have the stick model, but I do have the US Hoover cordless Platinum handheld which uses the same battery. It was pricier than I wanted to spend, but I have been very pleased with it (8 to 10 months). As to run time, it's so hard to say because you only use a handheld in...

    Vacuum of the day

    No answer, but... I have no answer for you, but I have to comment that I also have seen this particular "photo of the day" many times. And for some reason, today was the first time I ever noticed the fully inflated bag and thought, oh wow, she's carrying that while it's on. I even looked to see...

    As of this morning I own a VERY rare Hoover...

    Odd Question but from the US so bare with me. Did British electricity change from the 30s to now. I noticed the photo where you mentioned the two pin plug which looks like our plugs, particularly ones from that era. And the switch is on the handle as opposed to a foot switch which I thought I...

    Kirby Sentria G10D

    Which do you prefer, Andrew? You told me in the past that your Diamond was one of your favorites. I think I would miss the 2 speed switch on the Diamond that I use all the time. Chris

    Kirby forum website

    What am I missing? I have looked at this site several times now. There aren't that many posts on it. But I cannot find the item about the onboard hose. Can someone point me to the right place. Chris
