My friend Mark has one similar to that one for his Dirt Devil. I tried using it on his couch once and it barely spun even before I put it on the couch. I took out the pleated and foam filters, took them outside and smacked the crap out of them to get all the built up dust out. It was a messy job...

My Grandma had a bad habit of burning up vacuum cleaners. Her old Kenmore Canister she had since I think the early 70's finally died in the mid or late 90's. I think I might know why too. Years before that when I was a kid I spent the weekend with her and was helping her clean. She turned on the...

I like that! Beautiful picture!

One advantage to bagged vs. bagless, especially with the filters placed on top of the collection tank, the filters clog so fast and easily. As where on a bagged the bag is the filter. The bagless vacs I've used, I'll clean them good before using them and by the time I'm done there is a noticable...

What brand is that?

Oh cool! Yeah that would be nice. My Mom had a Eureka for years then she traded it for the Kirby G4 she has now. I love the Kirby but I do miss the Eureka.

Here's another thread of that vacuum. Gorgeous! http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?18925

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure. I look more for durability and performance over gadgets and high technology. I would love to get my hands on a Eureka Canister just like the one in this thread.... I love the shade of green too! http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?18944

In my friends Dirt Devil, I found a combination of things. After trying to vacuum one night while I was babysitting his daughter, I noticed the motor was revving awfully high, like when you put your hand over the end of the hose sealing off the opening, and nothing was getting picked up. So I...

I love my Kirby G4! I miss my Mom's old Eureka canister. And I love my Grandma's Kenmore Progressive Canister. All very good machines.

I myself love my Kirby G4. And after using my Grandma's Kenmore Progressive Canister, I wouldn't mind having one of those either. It's pretty quiet compared to my Kirby even, it cleans great and grooms wonderfully. But then my Kirby does too but the Kenmore costs much much less lol. I want to...

Right on! Thanks for the info and for understanding me being distracted, Jacob lol!

Oh my goodness, I totally overlooked the last post on here where you explain how you shined it up lol. Pardon my airheadedness! LOL

Jacob.... What did you use to shine up the chrome? My Mom's G4 looks about like your Heritage did before you restored it. I tried using chrome polish on it which brightened it a bit but it's still no where near as shiny as it should be. And I do think the polish I used was quite old. When I get...

Well this vacuum wasn't real bad, but of all the vacuums I've used this one was my least favorite. It was a Dirt Devil Vision. When I was babysitting my friends daughter, I would also help out around the house, dishes, vacuuming etc. And his vacuum seemed to always have trouble picking things...

At least the guy is good looking.
