Quick delivery I ordered on a Monday received Wednesday.

Looks like a unique vacuum Looks like a lot to maintain.

Since we are going to the bizzar. No one has mentioned using gasoline. IT's a great solvent, now comes with 10% alcohol for disinfection purposes, and ensures that your guest won't smoke in your house. (At least more than once.)

In defense of Oreck I don't believe the empire was close to crashing until after Hurricane Katrina. The destruction in NOLA and the move to TN was very costly to the company, where they had difficulty recovering. This was a great contributor to the bankruptcy, not so much mismanagement or...

ammonia and bleach I would caution using these two together. The resulting chlorine gas cloud will clean out your lungs pretty fast.

Question about Central vacs Though I have no problem with the premise the central vac exhausted outside will lessen emissions back into the air. Where I question is re-infiltration. If you are exhausting 180 CFM of air, because nature abhors a vacuum, it has to be replaced from somewhere. So...

You may want to move this to the Super Market section and see if anyone is interested. You could also try Ebay.

You are right. $34.99 is a great deal. You can hardly get a parts machine for that.

I already have two, But I ordered another just for fun. They are not great filtering machines, you do have to dump the very small dirt cup often, but they are a fun, quirky little vacuum.

Just saying Works long hours, out of town on weekends. Usually translates to Married w/children.

The Rainbow has almost double the power? Are you daft man? Rainbow moves approximately 60CFM. Kirby well over 120. I personally would not sell the Rainbow unless you need the cash. It comes down to preference and what you like. Both are quality machines that will serve you well.

He was just used to starting his Mantis garden tiller.

As far as used machines. You can very often find used Rainbows at the pawn shop, but sometimes --EWWW, better to just leave it sitting. Some people don't do regular maintenance, or empty them, or clean them, or . . .

Fairfax dealers would give a canned ham. When I worked for Kirby, we gave the knife set. I think it cost us dealers somewhere around 45 cents for the four knives. Which we bought from Kirby, where SF owned the Quik Cut Knife division (now Ginsu). They were wonderful gifts, I actually still...

Oreck, Sanitaire, and Windsor are mostly what I have seen. One hotel where we held an event from work, the banquet room had a frankinkirby, I felt sorry for the poor thing, it started out as an Omega, with an aftermarket plaid blue bag, but not Tradition blue; which had worn a hole through and...

I am not convienced it's NIB On the third picture the filter as well as the bag chamber appears to have dust on them. First picture, I thought I saw some paint scuffs, but it could be a light reflection.

This is something that happens with fan first machines. The hair may be longer and it just gets trapped between the blades of the fan. Not so much a defect, as just a need for regular maintenance. If you know you are vacuuming lots of hair, you may have to do it more frequently. As others...

Grab it The parts are worth more than that even if it didn't work. The hose alone will fetch $90 on ebay. I have three FQ now, I like them. For that price buy it, if you don't like it, flip it. There are three or four filters, the cone, a biocone, a motor filter, and the silencing ring...

Very nice collection. However, I have bad news. With this addiction, your collection is never complete. There is always going to be one more you just have to have.

Aerus/Electrolux Flip tool. Straight suction carpet cleaner on one side, filp it over, bare floor tool.
