Hey Charlie... I just sent you an email with the details. I'm happy to help in any way that I can. Mike

One more pic... Miele Capricorn - that turbo brush is the BEST...

More pics... Constellation - I really need to learn how to use this digital camera... my carpet is not multi-colored... sigh

More pics... Royal 8300

Here are a few pics of my new toys--Hoover Constellation, Miele Capricorn and Royal MRY8300. (I realize I'm not the best photographer.)

I thought someone might find this of interest. I stopped in a local vacuum shop this afternoon to scope it out. This was my first visit to the famous F & H shop several people have mentioned. The owner has a mint Hoover Model 634 (at least it looked like it was in mint condition to me, but I'm...

Hey Rob... I'm looking forward to meeting you. We'll have to set aside a day to make the rounds and check out all these shops. I'm anxious to check out F&H, especially since it's so close and I'm hearing so many good things about them. Maybe I'll check them out this afternoon. BTW, it's well...

Thanks Charles... Eventually, I want to get a set of attachments for my Royal upright, so I appreciate the heads up. I still have to locate the thrift stores and vac shops in my area and check them out.

Great looking Electrolux Where did you find the attachments for your Royal upright? I would like to find a nice set with the metal wand like the one displayed in your pics. Thanks. Mike

For what it's worth... While I respect and appreciate everyone's point of view, I agree with Sandy (aka danemodsandy) and thought it might be helpful to share my perspective as a new member in the VCCC and novice at eBay. <br Personally, I appreciate it when eBay links are posted here. And, I...

Great looking machine... I also loved those canned ham canisters, as you call them. Yours appears to be in mint condition. Wow. Love the iridescent green housing.

Hey John... We should talk. Funny... I haven't been to F and H Vacuum. Not sure why I passed it by... I purchased both of my Mieles from Sunset Sewing & Vacuum Center, which is about 4 blocks from F and H Vacuum (and about a mile from where I live, very close to UCSF Medical Center). They have...

Can anyone recommend someone in the San Francisco Bay area who services and perhaps even sells used Kirby vacuums? I was thinking of getting one on eBay, but will want to have it fully serviced if I do, i.e., motor tested, professionally cleaned, new brushroller installed etc... Thanks, Mike

Thanks Rex Wow! That's a lot of great information. Thanks Rex. That helps make my decision easier... at least narrows it down to the G6, Ultimate G or Diamond G. It sounds like the Diamond G is the way to go if a person isn't buying the latest model, but looking for the most/latest features. (I...

I know that many of you are Kirby experts and am hoping you can answer a few Kirby-related questions. Does the G5 have the same HEPA filtration as the G6? Also, other than color and nozzle shape, what are the differences between the G5, G6, Ultimate G and Diamond Edition? I have allergies and...

Cool GE Swivel Top Gary Hey Gary, great pic. Mike

Hey Tom... Hopefully you got my email... As I wrote you, Jeff Schroff suggested I contact you. I had a few questions about the Hoover Constellations and he wrote me that you're one of the "go to" experts when it comes to Hoovers. Mike

Great report... Thanks for posting. I wish the report included some pics of the Sears canister vacuums it describes. I haven't been able to find anything about those models on the Internet--not a thing--which I find surprising. If anyone has any pics of the Sears model 4695W, 46652, 46653 or...

Awesome looking vacuum... That is the coolest. Great industrial look, as mentioned above. And, it looks extremely solid. Can you get that in the US? I checked there site, but it doesn't appear that's it available here. Did I overlook the US link?

SeamusUK Hey Seamus, Thanks for the advice. Actually, I've been using the vacuum beads in my older Miele and I can smell them, even with the HEPA filter in place (they're pretty strong and I put a lot of beads in the bag). But, I don't want to use them if it's bad for the vacuum. By the...
