    hoover coffee can on ebay

    Shipping Costs May very well be what keeps potential buyers at bay. It’s only one state over from me and shipping sits at $60! I can’t imagine what it would charge someone out on the west coast or panhandle states....I’d LOVE to have it, but I have to be selective where I spend my money these...

    Not sure where to put this

    Vacuumland Info Yes, he told me that he had found my information on VL....I don’t really mind, but truthfully I had forgotten about putting my email info out there it’s been so many years! Guess I better check out my own profile occasionally! LOL!!

    Not sure where to put this

    Clarence Price He emailed me as well. I actually answered him back and ended up talking to him on the phone for about half an hour. He had a small business fixing vacs up and selling them in a peddlers mall. They started raising their prices/fees on him and he pulled his machines out and...

    I know somebody was looking for this

    Garrett I hope you end up getting that! I really like the retro look of those. I almost had one once and something happened and the seller cancelled the auction and decided not to sell it. Go figure! Let us know if you end up with it!! Steve

    Steve I looked at Kenny's link....if you scroll down to the comments, someone asked if these would fit a Diamond Jubilee, and the answer was Yes.... Hope that helps! Steve

    My Repainted Hoover Constellation

    Kevin That's correct! We created this years ago, when my daughter was like 6 years old (she will be 10 at the end of this month). She absolutely loved it, and that old vac is still going strong all these years later. Most people liked it, but I do recall there were some that didn't seem to...

    My Repainted Hoover Constellation

    Looks fantastic! I’m one of the few that doesn’t mind deviating from the factory colors of a vacuum! I took a Golden Jubilee model 1205 Electrolux that was rusted and in horrible shape and let my daughter pick out the colors.....unique, but she is proud of it, and it’s something we did...

    Do you hate Hoover? This is the perfect ranting thread!

    Do I hate Hoover? In short no. I can’t hate something that LITERALLY saved my life once, and a Hoover Convertible Elite did just that! Now don’t get me wrong, this stuff with a Hoover badge on it now certainly isn’t the quality Hoover products that was produced a few decades ago. I...

    Wow! I like the look of it! Very impressive!!

    Hoover 825

    Chad You have an absolutely beautiful machine, and I can easily see you’ve spent a lot of time and resources getting it back in good condition. I’d be interested in it, but the shipping price is just too cost prohibitive to KY. If I remember right there was only a $10 price difference between...

    The Calendar may say July 7th........

    Johnny Mathis Sorry John, I’m not sure where my Johnny Mathis album is at the moment.....BUT, how about some old Blue Eyes instead? Too hot to turn the oven on right now to bake cookies, but maybe later this evening I’ll whip up a batch! LOL! I’ve heard about the club’s CE, in fact, I’ve...

    The Calendar may say July 7th........

    Thank you all! I’ve been giddy with excitement ever since I paid for the machine and made it officially mine.....so today, I decided to get them all together and take a “family” photo or two....😊

    The Calendar may say July 7th........

    Thanks John! These machines are my “Holy Grail” machines, so running across one in the wild (eBay) is something that doesn’t happen often....in fact, last time I saw one was 8 years ago when I found and bought my 1st CE! Having three of them in my collection is something I wouldn’t allow...

    The Calendar may say July 7th........

    But it feels like December 25th to me! The UPS man just dropped off a package that has absolutely made my week......maybe even my month!! My spectacular eBay find that I was so excited about last week has arrived! I just put a brand new bag in it, plugged her in, and that motor purrs like a...

    Can Lightning Strike Thrice?

    Some of you may recall me making a post several weeks ago looking for an Electrolux Hospital G vacuum your add to my collection. Not too unexpectedly, that was a complete bust. There were a few suggestions as to where I might find one, but nothing solid, and it never came to fruition. I’d be...

    Even More Daily Drivers! Electrolux Day

    OMG! That Golden Jubilee is nice.....but that XXX is absolutely breathtaking! I LOVE the model 30, and have amassed a TON of them through the years; I even have a favorite one I go to for whole house cleaning from time to time. I sure don’t have one that’s even CLOSE to the beauty of yours...

    Long Shot......But Wanted:

    The Model V is very sought after too.... However, I have one of those thanks to Charles Richard Lester. It’s such a fantastic item to collect. I really don’t plan to use the Hospital G, would just like to have one in the collection. There are some really rare machines out there that I have...

    Long Shot......But Wanted:

    Good point But like I said, it’s worth a shot. I did something similar a few years ago looking for an even more rare Electrolux CE and Tom Gasko decided to part with his, so I can say stranger things have happened! In the meantime, I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed in hopes that someone...

    Long Shot......But Wanted:

    I know it’s a long shot, but hey, stranger things have happened.....would anyone have an Electrolux Hospital G that they would be willing to part with? I’ve really slowed down on my intake of vacuums, but I would like a Hospital G to add to the collection. Thanks! (Image credit to Tom Gasko)

    What will the CCP Virus mean for Kirby?

    Not sure about Kirby But I talked with my Aerus distributor and they are allowing a non-invasive system of sales. In other words, they will handle any payment matters over the phone, and ship the vacuum straight to the buyer’s door. Obviously not ideal for the door-to-door selling method...
