MADE IN ITALY Here is a TORNADO stick vacuum ( left ) with a VORWERK FB30 floor polisher, both made in Italy in the late 50's

yes STRICKLYBOJACK Yes, I do have some italian made cleaners and floor polishers, such as REM ( Rossetti Enrico Milano ) or LESA and other brands. I'm posting some nice pics right now !

National Geographic crew came last summer to give a look to my vacuum-cleaner collection here in Italy and - after many delays - the program is now airing worldwide on NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL ( and other channels from the SKY - FOX group ). They were very nice guys and kind and hopefully the...

Best UK JUNIOR ever ! This is my favourite english Junior and I got one like yours last summer as a present from TOMMYMILAN. The blue colour is very nice and the detachable dirtsearcher has a crazy-beautiful system ! Great job with your restoration ! Cheers, GUIDO

Congratulations DOUG ! Like your new site very much and saw some great machines for the first time and - needless to say - fell in love with some of them, such as the yellow SINGER SILVER GLIDE upright cleaner ! Also it's very easy and enjoyable to visit ! Hope you will create a HOOVER index...

Colour impossible to match, I fear... I think the last thing you should ever try to do, is repainting it ! I have a DUSTETTE like yours - also with few scratches - and : - the front is gold-hammer-color quite DIFFICULT to match - the main body is brown with ( crazy ) wrinkle-finish, IMPOSSIBLE...

ADAMBOMB please don't get upset..... Ok ... sorry then. It was just a personal opinion due to my bad kirby-experiences in the past ! But - as I said - just personal. Cheers all kirby lovers !

yes Yes the flag design is ABSOLUTELY COOL...( and seems to be well done too ) but I would rather have liked it on some other vacuum cleaner ( maybe an old HOOVER ?! ). Sorry if I cannot stand Kirby at all !!!

jjjjjeeeeeesus ! Personal opinion : Sorry, I hate Kirby. It is - and has always been - a heavy, stupid and crazy-expensive machine. Had 2 of them and got rid of them ASAP ! Not only it's an ugly machine, but - believe it or not - old Kirby are even worse. This sad...

UAUUU ! We had tons of those in Europe ! The Vorwerk WK117 is probably the best stick-vacuum EVER ! Very light and powerful ( and quite expensive in its day ! ) It is a very well known icon here, as almost every household used to have one of those ready-to-use machines parked near the broom for...

NYCwriter If you want to use an HOOVER 28 for everyday vacuuming, I would suggest as follows : 1 - first and most important issue, to have the machine checked by an electrician who will have to put at least new cable on it ( the originals tend to melt or crumble after 70 years ) and make it...

Nice machines ! The GOBLIN WIZARD is priceless ! Anyway, shipping damage happens quite often for such long trips, that's why I don't buy anylonger from the US market : it can take months to arrive, boxes often stop at the italian border in Genova and they want a fax with declaration of the...

GREAT ! Very nice finds ! Love the convertible streamline, since I first saw it - as a kid - in Jerry Lewis 1962 movie "WHO's MINDING THE STORE ?" The green and the yellow one are amazing ( the baby blue has that famous no-light-hood that I don't go crazy for ). I wish we had such great color...

WELLLLLL I suppose George can ask the price that he wants for it...the machine seems to be very well kept and decals on the bakelite hood are still great ! In the UK HOOVER SENIORS 652 ( your USA 65 CONVERTIBLE model ) can easily be sold for 100 to 200 pounds but sometimes go unsold for 10...

nice machine !!! Very nice, my favourite Constellation-color ! I don't know who said suction is poor anyway not true at all, at least on UK models. It has a GREAT suction, above all if you consider that the hose is longer than in other cleaners, ( more lenght means more loss of suction for the...

THE PRICE IS REALLY CRAZY ! This is a nice machine ( I have 4 of them in different conditions, I can confirm it's a great vacuum, the best commercial ever built by Hoover Ltd. ) but I suppose the sale price makes no sense...REALLY...exept in case you really DO NOT WANT TO SELL IT ! This...

Nice ! Very nice machine ! I would be interested in this HOOVER 638 ! Please let me know further info with your price + shipping it to ITALY and if you accept a PAYPAL payment. This machine is quite easy to dismantle and put in a box, anyway, as the handle-stick is divided into 2 parts so it...

yeah...I ve already read and much enjoyed that thread ! Well Al, yes there are some similarities ( i have some other in my computer - now on repair - and hope to post them soon here ) but I think the italian CGE line was probably more expensive and "luxury" models if compared to the universal...

Has happened to me as well When it happened to me, I simply advised the seller that I was informing him that his name was being forwarded to my lawyer who would solve the question. Curiously, I received the item after 4 days of silence ...and the seller did not ask for the payment back ! A...
