I have the Riccar version of the Simplicity 7 series (model 8900) and it's one of the better vacuums in my collection. The only problem I have with my vacuum is that there is no hose, but the Synergy/Radiance and TOL 7 series/8900 should have one.

That website has a ton of vacuum info that could help you out. http://www.ristenbatt.com/glossary.mv

This is what S-Class is. Pretty much HEPA. http://www.ristenbatt.com/define.mv?Tag_Name=SCLASS

Here are the 4 I use most often Sebo X2-Good on carpet, bad on bare floors, average hose Riccar 8900-Good on carpet and bare floors, no hose Dyson DC14-Bad on carpet, good on bare floors, good hose Hoover Power Drive-Good on carpet, bad on bare floors, average hose.

My Power Drive is one of my favorite vacuums. Definitely heavy, but worth the $15 I paid for it.

Just look up "Miele stick vac" into the forum search. Tons of people love it!

I'll try the sisal wheel and emery compound method. I was actually planning on ordering some more bench grinder polishing supplies. Is there anything else that I should use for polishing?

Does your Jet-Flow have the hose coming out of the bottom right side of the vacuum and going into the middle? I've never seen a jet flow in real like, so I'm very curious about it.

Nice. Is that an SEB 217?

Cool! I love finding nicer vacuums used. In June, I found a Riccar 8900 for $30.

Here is the nozzle I'm polishing. I've manly been working on the edges with a bench grinder.

I love the hose on my Constellation 858. It's the perfect weight for a stretch hose.

Since I recently got a bench grinder, I've been polishing various vacuum parts as practice before I move on to actual vacuums. Unfortunately, the scratches are becoming more noticeable as the parts start to look nicer. What would be the best way to get the scratches out of the metal?

I know what you mean. What vacuum brands do you believe still have quality attachments?

I think the decline in quality was mainly due to cheap vacuums like the Regina Housekeeper.

Here is an inflation calculator you could use to find out how much the vacuums cost. http://www.westegg.com/inflation/

When did Air-Way introduce their bags? I always heard about how they were the first to have disposable bags and great filtration because of this.

I believe this was based on a dirt devil called the floor keeper. http://www.amazon.com/Dirt-Devil-CE5500-Floor-Keeper/dp/B00022NGFM

That looks just like the Hoover Nano Lite. It's an alright vacuum, but the brushroll is weak and the hose is short.

Either my Sebo X2 or my Riccar 8900.
