    How to flock and de-flock a Christmas tree.

    We flocked fake snow from a can on the windows of my store when I was working retail. It looked nice at first. Then kids started picking away at it, writing their names etc. When Christmas was over, it appears that the kids were the only ones that could get it off the windows. We had to...

    I was robbed, robbed I tell you

    Well I guess you told me. I don't believe anywhere in any of my post did I ask how to bid on ebay, or how to search on ebay, or what I should pay. The post was originally posted in good humor that I lost a vacuum that I was coveting. And again in testament that some ebay sellers will boost...

    I was robbed, robbed I tell you

    Thank you Huskyvacs But. . .None of them are that color green, I have the orange one. None of them appear to have the cord winder. Some of them are missing their attachments. Many of them have shipping cost far above what the price of the machine is, which actually exceeds the total of my bid...

    I was robbed, robbed I tell you

    maybe in your part of the world the thrift stores are aflush, but I have never seen one in a thrift store here. What often happens in cases like this is the seller is actually bidding against you, and he overshot your maximum. The item in those cases will either show up relisted in a few...

    What is the worst vacuum from the past 20-ish years?

    Haters will be haters Just asking if Kirby is sooooooo bad. Why do they consistently get Gold ratings? Anyone, Anyone, Oh-you're going to say it's because they pay the institute off. Cop-out anyone.

    Vacuum Maintenance Question for Everyone...

    I have to give it a total cleaning I use a Oreck canister to clean the filters and cyclones, I dust the inside of the bin, and then wipe it down with a dust cloth. Not just the dry use machines, either. My water based machines get a through cleaning, separator and basin, and are hand dried...

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum - Latest Thoughts

    Thank you for your answer Was there something in the wiring of the first PN that allowed it to be turned on without the main unit running? One thing I noticed on my machine, don't know if a defect, or a design. It will allow the machine to run with bag door open, and the door will shut...

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum - Latest Thoughts

    Tom Why did they change the power nozzle so early in the run? Other than the silver, where mine is all black, and the air vents on top are different, what are other differences? Another question, has anyone ever figured out what scents you can use in the event chamber? I heard some scents...

    WoW, People really are stupid

    At least when it comes to mechanical things, or something to do with life, or vacuums. One of the supervisors here was vacuuming her office prior to a meeting. The office has a Bissell Powerforce, bagged. Said supervisor didn't think it was picking up very well, so she asks her assistant...

    Hoover Air Revolve Canister Vacuum - $34.99...
