    Hoover convertible u4123

    Mold remediation on a tower that size will be very costly indeed. There also was another developer who invested in the Trump Plaza, etc. This goes back to 1990; "I got the power" by Snap. It's getting kinda heavy, so please, stay off my back, or I will attack, and you don't want that. I got...

    My Arrival; Is The Bagged Power Nozzle Canister Market Dying?

    Tacony new canisters sound like good products then. My house is all hard floors, but I do have dense area rugs There are so many gimmicks on the market for hard flooring, like the Shark floor tool with a duster pad at the front. I've been known to use a dust mop with pledge on it, but in a day...

    Hoover convertible u4123

    I know, and it's not only Atlantic city. It's the oldest sections of Baltimore also, Detroit, even Homewood in Pittsburgh, etc. Chicago has problems and is larger than all those, but has made more overall progress with urban renewal since the 90's. Many blame a certain demographic group. A...

    My Arrival; Is The Bagged Power Nozzle Canister Market Dying?

    Ok, but, regardless of the length of the hose on any upright, stairs are an issue. It's easier to set a canister on a step than an upright. There always those who said canisters were cumbersome. I grew up in a small house, but my mom liked her canister. She had one upright and hated it. My...

    John Long, I have only been to Atlantic City once, in 1985. My ex wanted to go. I lost $130 and have not gambled since. That was a day's gross pay for me in those days. I did like the boardwalk, and the ehem, "buffet" at Caesers Palace. From there we drove up to NY for a few days. I parked my...

    1970 Hoover Junior Dirtsearcher 1354A - Restoration

    Great here too Alex! Thanks! Been buisy with summer gardening and such. Our second grand child was born the end of March, so we see them a lot too. My step daughters babies of course. I always liked kids, but obviously, my persuasion is for the more masculine gender strictly. I live about...

    Hoover convertible u4123

    John, I rarely iron. I know many still do, and thats all well and good. My ex used to iron his hair. I must have been blind. Like 26 going on 13. Four years my senior. I guess I was "biggly" blinded because he was also a game player. He also bragged about being great at things, even if they...

    Hoover convertible u4123

    Kenny, true! Brains and games are not synonymous with intellect, or snobbery, nor politic's. It's been the art of many failed deals though. Is anyone going to the liquidation sale at the Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic city? It's going on now. I bet all the vacuum cleaners are sold already though.

    Tristar Model A101S

    I had my aunts Revelation from the 1950's. It was turquoise with the air driven polisher. She kept it nice and clean. I gave it to someone who needed a sweeper.

    Yes, all the above, and hope all is well in Manc's Alex. Dirty can be a bit of fun at times. o!o (Otter guy) Like Lisa Stansfield sings, people hold on, got to be strong. Ever watched the 100 foot journey? Excellent film.

    Eureka 502B

    Cool tortoise Eureka Keither! Planning on using it, or keeping it mint brand new? Where did you find it? I never see those in any resale store or garage sale. It's at the opposite end of my 1979-80 Eureka model 1279 and 1289 brandywines.

    Electrolux Oxygen EL6988 3 Ultra Issues.

    Those buttons on the handle operate resistance pads similar to those used on microwave ovens, but they are for one reason or other problematic on these machines. Our kids had one, and eventually it did not even power up. Do you have the powered upholstery tool as well? That quit working first...

    Best looking vacuum ever made.

    Me being an art deco fan, the E-Lux XXX has the best looking floor tools, then Compact, as is their little piggy hammered metal canister design. I'm also partial to colors of blue, deep reds like burgundy, and turquoise.

    How Do YOU Pronounce "Vacuum"?

    growing up, my mom just called it a sweeper. She used it to "red up the house".

    Central vacs

    I think air moving through the pipes with daily use dries them out.

    The end of Eureka?

    Yes, Eureka's lost quality and style after the Swedish derivatives were discontinued. Excalibur, (a Volta), Oxygen 1, Europa, (that was the Excellio).
