Those are great little machines. I have the tool set for mine. Not bad airflow.

I think it was done for the low end models, the curved piece would just snap onto the shorter piece. Just a way to make the low end model more affordable would be my guess. Actually, like Kirby, I love that short straight end. It is perfect for cleaning the car or tight areas.

Were these sold also as Speed Vac. My neighbor had one, same hose end, a rubber expandable when twisted. If memory serves me correctly the wands and hose end had a little nib that you inserted and gave a slight twist. It was a great little vacuum.

David Oreck has passed away at age 99. Many folks here don’t like the Oreck Vacuum but I have to say that David truly believed in his product. He stood behind the product and knew how to market it. I have to say I have a model XL21 and I believe it cleans very well. It is easy to use. I...

Royal does have a Hepa bag if they are still available.

For me the Eureka F&G bags were never that great. They later came out with the higher filtration bags. I personally have converted all mine to ST bags.

I have seen photos of the hassock vacuums before. A neat idea! The uprights look like Singer may have been the manufacture.

Wow, I love Costco! I just went to their website, and they are not listed, wondering if it is a local item. Our closest Costco is an hour away. We generally drive down a couple of times a year. Nicer than Sam's but probably a bit pricier. I wonder what the price is on the Kirby and if the...

Ben That is correct.

Many of us here will remember Dave Olsen who was the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club treasurer for many years. Sadly he passed away early this morning. Dave worked for many years in the banking system only to later become ordained as an Episcopal Priest. I had the opportunity at a convention...

Just curious, Why were some of the Model 30's painted and some chrome?

I wondered if Chuck still had his vacuum store. Miss him, he was a great member of the VCCC.

I can't really help much, but I used to recommend those Regina Power Team units to folks that moved into our local Senior Living Apartments. The apartments had a flat commercial grade carpet. Those Regina Power Team units were perfect. My only complaint was emptying them. It always seemed...

He is in Oregon. I believe they sold their place on Palm Springs a few years back.

Long time club member Dave Olson who served as club treasurer for many years has been diagnosed with a blood disease and has been placed in hospice. Please keep Dave and Pete (his husband) in your prayers.

Stan was an amazing man. He could be playing the Mighty Wurlitzer, humming a totally different tune and entertaining all at one time. I never had the privilege to hear him play in person but did get to visit his home, see his collection and with the advice of other club members avoided riding...

Looks amazing. Great job!

And we often forget about other brands out there. Here in Iowa, WI and Il, Eureka was more popular than Hoover. Sears was also very popular. Later Sunbeam also made some great machines. Advertising gimmicks were no different then than now. Bag-less machines are toted as being so much better...
