My Folks first vacuum ! Hi Everyone! When my folks, Maryann & Walter were married in November 1942 (that was the first time when, they ran away! They were later married on Valentine's Day in 1943 in church to appease the family!) They had no vacuum and no car ! It was wartime and those luxuries...

I remember those! Hi Lou, I don't have one, but I do remember seeing those at Sears, probably mid-60's until about 1970 or so. At one point, I think that they were a light blue in color and then I think beige. I'm sure they were a Whirlpool product before things went to China. Alot of vac...

The Hoover LINX Cordless Stick Vac We had quite an accumulation of reward points on our credit card that we wanted to use up, so the Hoover Linx cordless stick vac was one of the items that we sent for. It's nicely designed, has surprising performance, and is more than a better replacement for...

We exchanged some of the "reward" points on a credit card and got a few things among which was a Hoover Linx cordless stick vac from the Hoover Platinum Collection. So far it is quite impressive with decent suction and a nice revolving brush. It actually does a nice "quick pick -up" job even on...

My Upright Choices ! I agree with Sam in saying any metal base Hoover Convertibles. Nothing "Beats" them ! Dependable, durable and well-performing on mostly all carpets. We also have a couple of Kirbys that are great performers too. I like our Kirby Classic CR1 because of the large head. Jill's...

My Choices ! I would have to say in my opinion..........the best performing vintage canisters are any Electrolux with the metal body and probably Compact. Nothing beats the suction and the ease of use. We did have a Filter Queen at one point. It was well made but found it to tip over easily and...

Mini Meet ! Hi Pete ! Wish we could join you as well ! Sounds like you guys will have fun ! Please post photos ! We are wondering just what China pattern you will be using???? Inquiring minds want to know !!!.......or shall we guess??? Kenny Lawrence Las Vegas, NV

Model 66 Convertible from Faller's Furniture ! Hi Chris... Can't believe that you are from Churchill ! It surely is a small world.....Where did you live there??? I do remember Community Electric in Wilkinsburg....Used to pass it on Penn Avenue as we drove through that little town. Faller's was...

Model 66 Convertible Chris........ My Folks actually bought the model 66 Hoover Convertible At Faller's Furniture Store in Monroeville, Pa........Didn't realize you were in Pittsburgh ! That will be fifty years ago this March ! Wow....How time flies! Kenny Las Vegas,NV

Model 66 Convertible That Hoover Convertible was still going strong in the early eighties when my folks sold the house that we grew up in. In fact, I know the woman that still has it now, in Pennsylvania. Sold at a huge garage sale that my folks had when they moved to Vegas. If I had only been...

Model 66 Convertible Yes.....indeed.....The Model 66 Convertible was Garland Green made from 1958 until sometime late in 1960 from what I recall. This is the vacuum that I grew up with in addition to an Electrolux model LX ! I clearly recall my folks purchasing it at a local furniture store in...

Dear Friends ! I recently added a great Kirby Omega to my collection, with many Thanks to Chad ! Even though this machine is part of our collection, it's main purpose is to be used occassionally with the Miracle Head, as a carpet nap lifter. It's in great condition other than needing polished...

Kirby's For Sale ! Hi Chad ! Great Opportunity and appreciate you sharing ! I'd like to know what he would want for his best Classic Omega Kirby with Rug Renovator/ Floor Buffer ! Please Email me and let me know ! Thanks, Kenny Lawrence, Las Vegas [email protected]

My Favorite Electrolux ! YES !.......You did do good ! That was a great buy and the hose & machine look to be in great condition! The Lux 60 has always been my favorite Electrolux and the one I grew up with! ENJOY !!

Hoover Convertibles! Rick, I'm certain that many of us 50something year-old vacuum collectors will tell you that the Hoover Convertible was an icon in the vacuum cleaner industry during it's time. It was very affordable to most everyone.....the design of the hood and appearance of the machine...

Our Kirby Generation Five is in need of a new brushroll. I'm wondering what is available and what any of you would suggest. Our wall-to-wall carpeting in the largest area of our home is very lousy, builder's grade plush so we really need something that pulls up the nap. On the other hand, we...

Rare Electrolux hoses! I think we'd all die for "new" or replacement hoses for our classic luxes! I'm old enough to remember them in various vac shops, but never thought to "stock -up"..... just like we all regret not buying an "extra" metal-base Hoover Convertible to just have on hand! If any...

Haunted Vacuum??? Don't Laugh! Don't Laugh, kid's ! Stranger things have happened! We have an odd occurance here at our home. We usually keep an upright in the laundry room that is ready to roll, for quick use. If it happens to be the Hoover model 63 that is in my collection, the laundry room...

Kirby for shampooing ! Greetings! My Wife, is a big Kirby fan! She has a G-5 and does like the shampooer! It does do a great job, however our big complaint is that it leaves the carpets too wet! If we use it to shampoo, we then go over the carpet with our Hoover SteamVac to extract the...

Connie still not available here in Vegas! Our Hoover factory store here in Vegas, isn't very helpful or pleasant to deal with......their reply to me about getting a Constellation was..."That's not available here... Are you sure it's really made by Hoover??" I did see them on the Best Buy...
