    Filter Queen and Tristar

    I have been browsing ebay and thinking of buying either a newer Tristar or FilterQueen for a daily driver. I have a few questions: I have never used either machine, so which would you recommend? I am looking at Filter Queens with the newest style hose and power nozzles. Is it true that Filter...

    Dyson dc59 Motorhead

    Scott, I am glad you are enjoying the DC59. I am madly in love with my DC44 after these first couple weeks. I am thinking I will upgrade to the DC59 eventually. This is my first Dyson vacuum ( I do have an Air Multiplier that I LOVE) and I have been so impressed. The head layout is small enough...

    Are there any new features? What are the new features? It looks like a Sentria with a different handle... I'm really hoping they have some neat new features. The shampooer looks different and I like the color scheme.

    Dyson dc59 Motorhead

    Nice Dyson The DC59 looks great. I just got a DC44 Animal this week and I am very impressed. I got it for $288 at Kohls after tax with a 20 percent off coupon and $10 off purchase. I may upgrade to a DC59 eventually. Enjoy using it!

    My DC41 MK2. I must be mad!

    Nice Vacuum I really like that Dyson. I have a DC44 on its way in the mail for my quick pickups as I have the Dyson bug. I wonder why the US DC65 doesn't have that slider? That is a really neat feature. I may look at getting my church to upgrade to a DC65 as our DC25 has given us years of...

    A beautiful old Lux

    Those Canadian Machines Those Canadian machines look like fun. Why were they made separately and so differently than US machines? Could it be that American consumers preferred te simplicity of the combination tools and not having to change a rear filter? That's just a guess. Does anybody know?

    Electrolux Hose Ends

    Hey everybody, I recently got a Lux Model XII on Ebay. The hose that came with it is a XXX Era Hose in beautiful condition. The hose end, however, is for Canadian machines. For correctness sake, I would like to change the hose end to the American version and display the hose with my XXX. I have...

    Why we collect the vacs we collect???

    For me What I like to use goes back to the nostalgia of sound. I really like Electrolux and Rainbow. As a child, I always loved using my grandma's Electrolux. The sound of the power nozzle was just perfect to me. It harmonized so great with the sound of the machine. Although that was an Olympia...

    Uprights Or Canisters?

    Canister! I Always find myself reaching for an Electrolux or Rainbow. My house is almost all hardwood floors with only a couple rooms of carpet and area rugs. A good Electrolux or Rainbow floor tool makes the hardwood gleam. I like to clean the upholstered furniture also when I vacuum, so it is...

    I need to take a second to brag on Aerus Electrolux customer service.

    I have always heard that Aerus / Lux had great customer service. However, I have visited a couple of "not so friendly" dealers before whom quoted astronomical prices on supplies and acted like I was crazy. Needless to say, they didn't get my business. On the other hand, Tuesday I called Aerus...
