    Comvac 1600

    Would a standard Heritage/II/Legend belt lifter not fit? I know it wouldn't be original, but functional...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    Don't put the whole bag assembly in the washer! It needs to be removed from the emptor (the lower plastic portion with fill tube attached), which can be done by *GENTLY* prying the plastic strap at the bottom apart- the strap works similar to a zip tie... THEN the bag can be removed, the topper...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    Yes, You should be excited! That sounds like a great deal if it is in good condition. Maybe post pics after you get it, and definitely let us know how you like it.

    Replaced My Dishwasher Today...

    Go easy on the Lemishine- it's citric acid and will eventually eat away at the racks... ask me how I know. We use Cascade Platinum and that usually takes care of any hard water residue. I will run a little Lemishine maybe once a month (if I have any) but otherwise just detergent.

    Swamp Coolers

    I have never seen such a thing! Cool! It would be pretty useless for us in Michigan too- our main problem in the summer is humidity. Not very often do we have hot, dry days. Usually very warm and humid, so traditional air conditioners are needed. At this point I'm just waiting for all of this...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    I would go for the Kirby Sentria out of those choices- It is the most versatile, and will last a lifetime (or several!) if you maintain it. You can buy high-filtration HEPA bags for it, and although the bags are a bit pricy, they hold a lot of dirt. It should be great on pet hair, you can even...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    I would also recommend a Sanitaire- commercial quality, absolutely unbeatable carpet cleaning, easy maintenance and cheap repairs. They don't have on board attachments though, so maybe buy a small/cheap canister vac for above floor cleaning.

    Weird slot on back of my Kirby?

    I've never used them on my Kirbys, but that is exactly what the slot is for- saving up for bags and belts.

    Collection for sale- Updated pics.

    Hoover Convertible and Dirt Devil still available. Need to start selling or vacs are headed for craigslist. If anybody within driving distance wanted to make a decent offer on every last vacuum in this house I would be fine with that, plus have several more about 4 hours from here.

    Dirt Devil Featherlite- It works fine, not too bad of condition. I have another one at our other house for parts. $15+ shipping, spare motor will be included in the sale, but not shipped for a while.

    Collection for sale- Updated pics.

    Sorry, that one is sold :( I guess I should keep better track of what is sold. Will see if I can start a new thread with what is still available.

    Yeah it is just yellowed like some plastics yellow over time, for some reason, G3 cords tend to do that. They are usually badly deteriorated, but this one isn't too bad. A couple small areas near the machine have cracked, but the wires are intact and it will be taped well.

    Collection for sale- Updated pics.

    Adding to the list a nice Kirby G3- has been thouroughly cleaned and polished, runs great. Good brushroll, could use new drive wheel treads and the Tech drive clicks when in neutral, although it works just fine. Comes with everything shown, (except Faith, my kitty!) including two extra bags.

    Latest repair project...

    While I don't particularly care for this machine (even when it was new!), It seems pretty sturdy and the lower body/chassis is all one piece. For a cheap plastic machine, it seems sturdy enough overall, and it hasn't been treated gently before I got it, so that says something. When it was...
