The Miracle Mate box and attachments I saw last weekend were gone. I'm not even sure there was one whole vacuum in all the mess. I did spy this Eureka across the yard. I got it for $5. When I went to pick it up, I was disgusted at how light and all plastic it was. I was expecting a heavy brute.

No, it didn't look like that. It was a round, brown woodgrain thing. The box said Miricle Mate. There was this commercial steam cleaner nozzel and hose sticking out and tons of attachments. It was kinda grubby looking so I walked past.I might go back tomorrow. Its probably a Rainbow. Are they...

What is a Miracle Mate? Is it a carpet steamer or a vacuum? I saw one today for $10.00. All the hoses and stuff didn't appeal to me. Did I pass up a good thing?

Dave, that picture almost made me gag. I would love to see it again.

Dave, the first picture of the red brick house is owned by a little lady name Mary. She is close to 90 and still drives and looks after the whole house. The hardwood floors go right up to the attic. She is the second owner of the house since it was built. The Beetle Juice looking house I believe...

Did you check inside the box springs for any dead prostitutes?

Does she remember whose yard sale it was? That should cut my time down to 5 minutes.

Hmmm, Harriston you say? Born and raised here. Shouldn't be too hard to find out about this woman, or vacuum for that matter. I would just have to check old phone books, tombstones or the local loud mouth gossip. Give me about ten minutes, I'll have the whole story.

Nice video. As much as I like to vacuum in the house, cleaning the car is a zero on a scale of one to ten.

I like the vacuums on the black shelves against the grey wall, they look like they are floating in the air. Question. In the first pic of the grey wall photo, there is an old pump vacuum, green with a red handle. How valuble are these? I saw one identical last weekend for $100.00. Is that resonable?

Saved a Lux. Got to love a vacuum that lights up and tells you what to do! Just took the Lux out on her maiden voyage vacuum. Wow this thing SUCKS!, in a good way. The suction is a lot better than the Ambassador's, its hose is done. I'm just as giddy as a widow with this vacuum! Off to do the...

So the door will pop open on this machine? Very Cool!!! Can't wait.

One more question. When the machine is on, should the blower port door be open or closed?

Saved a Lux. The only tools it came with were the floor tool and two pipes. The power head I have from the Ambassador. The blue and yellow look quite nice. Thanks to Dave in Stratford, I have the dusting brush to ride on top. I can't believe how heavy this machine is. It weighs 20 pounds, the...

Saved a Lux. After a good scrub and polish. This must have been something coming new out of the box. I love the colour, this is my new favourite vacuum.

I was painting at a new house on Monday and just as the owner was leaving for work she said, "If you want to use that old vacuum to clean up saw dust you can, if its in your way, throw it in the dumpster cause thats where its going, the suction is terrible". I threw it out, right into the trunk...

Yard Sale Bargain. And I know what a dog can do.

Yard Sale Bargain. It is missing the attachments, not really a big deal. The last owner got pretty creative at closing off the hose. I figure the $10.00 is a deal since they through in the pliers. The last owner's dog chewed off the end where the tools fit on.

I usually rent The Rug Doctor twice a year. I was going past a yard sale and saw this vacuum. The price on it was $20.00. I offered $10.00, which was pretty low, they said, sure. I was hoping it was the one with the rotating brushes, but it isn't, still, it works great.

Anyone that gets sun burnt, lavender oil works great. Three or four drops in the tub, give it a swish and dive in. Softens your skin, gets rid of the pain and tightness and you won't peel. You will sleep like a log too. You can also throw a few drops in the rinse cycle for nice smelling sheets...
