yuk!

The original Oreck (The Whirlpool )came out in 1963.The Regina Power Brush 'n' Beat debuted in 1964.The Oreck was first.That Regina was out through the 70s -a cute little thing with the bag in front of the handle,a compact nozzle and 9.75 lbs.,cleaned carpets well enough but awful with tools.

It says ElectroGrand on it which is a rebadged Electro-Hygeine

...sucks!

the "DIE"-son is loathsome!

The Filter Queen

A real Kirby Derby Fun manual,I've always liked it and those tastefully coiffed ladies sipping their tea! Notice some photos are retouches,such as the hand portable pic.The bumper is dark because that's a 516 Kirby pic with a D80 belt lifter "painted "on!There are others too,but you get the...

Kewl!Thanks! BTW,no wonder it was called an Airway ,and with aviation symbols to boot. Tuck this in,grease that there. It's high maintenance was like running a private plane,LOL! Great vacuum,though!

Which Hoover is the best carpet cleaning Hoover of all time and why? Also,could you show pictures of it? Thanks!

Does anyone here have a G5 shampooer they'd like to sell.If so you may email me at [email protected]!

she's all wound up Thanks Dave,loved your response.BTW, starting in 1966 and for many years thereafter,FQ did have an optional cordwinder!
