Recently I received a call from my grandmother and unfortunately her garage that was seperate from her house caught fire. Most of everything was ruined and soaked in wet soot. I had several things stored in this garage from years past which most was lost. However upon cleaning out all of the...

Thanks! It's always nice to have someone who supports your hobby. I am lucky to have someone who does...he may not understand my craziness but supports it. Lol

So today my fiancé was out checking some thrift stores for me some vacuums and sent me a picture of this Regina ElectrikBroom. I wanted it so bad and he said that they had already sold it. Well today I came home and he told me to go look in the dining room and to my surprise he was actually...

One can only hope... That sometime in the future more company's do this. Most manufacturers now days have cut corners to save cost on machines and the results are most of this plastic crap they call vacuums now days. They are poorly designed and it seems most people just don't care what they...

What I meant was... I was referring to the old Electroluxes with the metal powernozzles, I just like the feel of them. I own a perfect canister, it's a great machine and yes it's indentical to the older luxes which is really neat considering you can buy one brand new. I wished more...

Metal Canisters I have yet to find one of those other than my automatic e but hopefully sometime soon I will run across one. I remember using my great grandmothers as a kid. You don't find many machines made like that anymore.

Once again why stopping by my local Kirby dealer, I found another great vacuum. A 1999 Electrolux Epic 3500 SR 75th Anniversary Edition. This machine was extremely clean and also came with a 12 pack of bags. Judging by the sticker on the front it looks like it had been serviced recently...

If I don't use my Sentria I use my Hoover Steam Vac, one of the most reliable cleaners on the market. I have owned a Hoover Dual V and it broke within two uses. I own a Bissell Spot Bot for Quick cleanups and a Bissell Proheat as my loaner/rental machine.

Beautiful! I love the one at the top. That color is so nice!

I have been meaning to post this for a while now. After cleaning up some of my Christmas decor I decided to make my Electrolux more a part of the house. This machine is always a conversation piece and one of my favorites of my collection. I bought it a few months ago from my local Kirby dealer...

I certainly hope They don't discontinue the 1934b. They are affordable vacs that still have the old style design and good quality. I currently own one but I think as soon as tax time comes I'm gonna buy several more incase this does happen :(

The other day while making my rounds to my local Kirby dealer I found this Oreck XL insight. I know most people either love or hate Orecks but I must say I'm pretty impressed with this machine. For $20 I really couldn't go wrong. I currently own five Orecks in my collection and have...

Today I was browsing my local thrift stores and I stopped by a new one that so far has yielded several great vacuums to me. It seems that no matter when I stop they always have something good. Today I found a Bissell Dyna Clean stick vac with original box and manual along with a hodgepodge of...

That's great to hear! I have done a bit of research online and seen the type 49 you are talking about. Thanks for the help I will be ordering some new belts soon!

Thanks Everyone! Thanks for all of the useful info. Does anyone know what type of belt the powerdrive takes on this machine?

Went to one of my local thrift shops and found this amazing machine. I have been wanting one of these for quite some time. I bought this machine for $10. It was complete with a genuine pack of Hoover bags. The belt was broken and I am assuming this is the only reason the machine was...

Thanks for the info! I'm pretty sure it is a non standard end. As far as the power nozzle issue hopefully mine won't have any issues. Considering what I paid for it I'm pretty happy with this machine regardless.

Came across a great deal today on this Kenmore Vacuum. It was a trade in at my local Kirby Dealer. I never heard of people trading in a NIB vac but apparently it happens! I only paid $25 dollars for a $200 vac. I have never seen one of these, but after unboxing this machine boy am I impressed...

Thanks for the info I have came across a lot of commercial vacs here lately and this is one of my favorites. It surely will last me forever since I have so many vacs I rotate to use :)

Found this machine at my local Goodwill for $8.00. I have seen these at several different schools, banks hospitals, etc. I remember one in all blue at my elementary school in the 90's. The style of this is very similar to my Sebo Essential G1 and it even uses the same bags. All it needed was the...
