    Thrift store find pics.

    My grandmother has one of those Shark stick vacs. Those things are loud as hell, even on the low setting.

    Photos of My Collection

    Great collection! I especially like that Air-Way upright. I've heard that those machines were really ahead of their time.

    My new Riccar Radiance!

    It's probably one of the nicest vacuums I've ever used. The Radiance's build quality is top-notch, and it is very comfortable to use. I haven't really done any serious vacuuming with it yet, but from my experience it does a pretty good job. With only the first motor on the vacuum is pretty...

    My new Riccar Radiance!

    Here's a pic of the vacuum running. Even though one of the LEDs is out, the headlight still puts out a ton of light.

    Vacuum polishing

    I've had good luck finding Mother's Mag at auto parts stores(ex. Pep Boys, Autozone). To use it, just get a rag and dip it into the polish to get a small amount of the stuff, and then rub the rag onto the metal parts in a circular motion. When the cloth turns black, switch to another part of the...

    My new Riccar Radiance!

    Never mind on the height adjust. Just was a bit tough to turn.

    My new Riccar Radiance!

    Well, maybe not "new". It's a RAD.1 that I got off eBay, so it's not cosmetically perfect, but nothing I won't be able to clean up. Anyway, I have a question about this vacuum's height adjustment knob. I'm having a lot of trouble turning it, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of special...

    Sebo automatic X1 1997

    How do you find the age of your Sebo? This thread has made me really curious about my X2.

    If you could choose any upright in the world.....

    I'd love to try out a Sanitaire SC889A, since I'm a big fan of those Eureka F&G uprights, and that 50' cord sounds amazing! Maybe a Sebo Felix too, if I needed something for the whole house.

    Saw something while playing a video game

    The game is The Last of Us, for the PS3. It's cool to hear that LA Noire used time period accurate vacuums.

    Saw something while playing a video game

    Anyone think this resembles a bagged Hoover T Series?

    So what is the story with Douglas Qwikut

    Amazon says that the Surge is made in China, but other sites are saying that it is made in the U.S.

    A parade of Fugglies.

    Seriously. That Hoover Z looks more like a leg than a vacuum cleaner.

    Can anything beat the Hoover Z in terms of ugliness?

    Canister for Hardwood Floors

    I'd love to use the canisters that I already have, but my Eureka 3336A has extremely rough wheels, and my Hoover Constellation tends to scrape the floor once the bag is full. Does anyone have experience with this Panasonic? My main reason for considering it is the soft wheels, which seems to be...

    Canister for Hardwood Floors

    I recently moved into a new house that is about 50% hardwood floors. Unfortunately, none of the vacuums in my collection are safe or practical for this type of flooring. Does anybody have a suggestion for a vacuum that won't scratch the floors?

    I think I found a Singer Simon.

    Looks like you can find some bags. I always thought the Singer Simon was an interesting concept for a vacuum. http://www.amazon.com/SINGER-SIMON-SSB-1-VACUUM-CLEANER/dp/B008E70IQM
