Mine are not true hardwood either nor are they laminate. It is a wood vinyl type flooring that does not click clack as you walk on it in any type of shoe. I should have mentioned that in my original post. So I think the ammonia is safe. My last home was all porcelin ceramic on the first...

I just bought a Crosswave last week and used for the first time on Friday. It comes with a small bottle of cleaner provided by Bissell. Larger sizes are available. I have a lot of hardwood flooring. It did a great job and I was amazed at how dirty the return water/solution was. We vacuum...

I have owned a lot of vintage Hoovers and stopped buying almost anything after the early DAMs. I had a few Celebrities along the way also. I am not very interested in any Hoover after about 1975 or thereabouts--part of that being due to my age and what I consider vintage. IMO, the pinnacle...

IMO, when Electrolux came out with the two motored upright they had a definite winner. It is so easy to go from carpeted floors to non-carpeted floors with decent suction. Also, it is VERY easy to use the hose and attachments. When the hoses for the uprights became electrified the vacuum was...

Hey Tom, Hugs back at ya! I just sent a Kirby Classic in for a rebuild. They called me as I did not send the bag and a few other pieces. I want to keep it original so I sent the nozzle bumper trim, NOS, that I found on ebay. They said they still have the correct trim color! They were going...

If you are the original owner and have the paperwork to show that, it should have a rebuild price on it or the Kirby rebuild department can provide it to you. If you are not the original owner the rebuild price is $350.00 not including tax and shipping. Also, Kirby does not pay the shipping...

Yes, anything...…..

Fred, well, the HOOVER 29 is now safely ensconced in North Carolina in pristine condition. Many thanks for the latest hand off. "AirWay Abbey", is now up and running and our Mrs. Hughes has everything under control. After a few more tweaks, the new vacuum room will be available for tours...

Tom, your articles are the main reason that I kept getting the magazine and belonged to the VDTA. I let my membership lapse a number of years ago but they still sent the magazine anyway. Your articles were very well written with a great use of the English language explaining the history...

Or other body hair for that matter...…….including some of JFK's too??

Wow! What a beauty and everything in it's original packaging. Man oh man--you sure know how to find them and keep them beautiful!

Tom, That 1C is stunning. They all look wonderful! That Ultimate G looks kind of familiar..... Glad to hear your convention will still be happening in September. I hope to be there.

Paternal Grandmother had: Air-Way 66 later replaced with a Mark II 88, (later came to me), both were straight suction. She had hardwood floors with oriental rugs and was told that beater bars or a revolving brush harmed the rugs. She had in her basement a twin motored Air-Way Chief that had...

I bought a brand new one last year from a vac store owner on this site. I had looked at them for a while and thought it would be nice to have to add to my collection of newer cleaners. I think it was definitely a worthwhile investment. It does a great job on the wall to wall carpet and by...

Hey Fred, Way to go and stick with those genuine Aerus/Electrolux products! Glad it worked out for the vacuum and your friend.

Fred, I had this happen when I put a bojack hose on one of my older Luxes. I did exactly what Tom described and it worked. You just have to go slowly and I turned it up on the end and held the cord winder end between my feet. I was able to see using a flashlight and really small flat head...

Edgar thanks for the info. And yes, it would be wonderful to see more bagged vacuums come down the drawing boards. Many of my friends and work colleagues that jumped on the bagless craze about 10-12 years ago have switched back. They got tired of dust blowing around every time they emptied...

It would be nice to see vacuum manufacturers using disposable bags resurrect that idea. But if it costs money...……………………..

Blackheart, I am pretty sure you are correct on that. I can swap power nozzles on my Aerus Guardian Platinum with my Tri-Star CS, however I can do that with the Renaissance power nozzle or my LE power nozzle.

Beautiful 700 Charles! I remember that one at Fred's home in St. Charles. I'm glad it has passed on to another loving home. When Terry Lattz was still alive he really liked using that model. The condition is pretty pristine. Thanks for sharing and enjoy one of the newer additions to the...
