    The latest addition to THE CLASSIC HOOVER EMPORIUM, Feb 1979 U4082 Commercial.

    Thank you Paul, I was about to think that my post, connected to the older one, just didn't raise any attention. The reason why this particular Hoover model is so important for me is because when I was about 4-5 years old, there was one in my primary school, used to clean the carpeted play area...

    Kirby Tradition Fill-tube design flaw?

    Rowdy To me a Tradition or an Heritage with shakeout bags have tremendous airflow, are more powerful than with even the best bags. As long as you're not concerned with filtration. Any Kirby with proper bag filling system and proper high filtration bag actually clean better for the simple reason...

    Whats this Vorwerk attatchment?

    Eurekaprince, that adapter is not for using the polsterboy on its own for that purpose, it something for allowing the electric cord of polsterboy pb430 on a vacuum cleaner vk 120. Quite Tricky! No literature or videos at all! Let's make it! Tommy

    Whats this Vorwerk attatchment?

Hello, I needed to think a little about it but I came out with a possible solution: that adapter was meant to replace tha main telescopic handle of a german Vorwerk vk 120, and allow to connect the electric portable handle that was provided with the original "Polster boy" whan it had to...

    Hoover U4147 upright -belt question??

    Hello, congratulations, I love that convertible, it was very rare over here, I have one too.

Sometimes spraying some ws5 between the brushroll...
