Doug what was the story again about the Super J iirc being sold in Canada for a period. I've often wondered why Electrolux chose to manufacture a near completely different machine for the Canadian market, they were really the only company that did it. All the other US appliance manufactures...

Read this old article, especially the last part about Hoover lol http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/appliance-industry-news/43-newproducts/1450-airrider_tipped_to_clean_up_in_vacuum_market.html

Firstly the article is almost 5 years old. Secondly this was new carpeting she installed and any vacuum cleaner is going to fill a bag or two of carpet fibers/fluff intially. It's exactly what happened when we moved into our new house with new wall to wall carpeting. I was shocked at the amount...

As much as I love my Kirby's they are at times a bit unwieldly I think and again it depends on the style and layout of your house. In our Calgary house which was very open and spacious bi- level and almost fully carpeted they were fantastic excepting for the carpeted stairways. Our house here is...

Like I said last time that DC03 is messed up! ?

It's on the backside of the front door where the bag goes in

The hose and nozzle aren't original. They had a plastic woven hose, whitish and the nozzle wasn't the L shaped, just regular shape colored tan like the body. That hose doesn't look to outta place though I found some great vacs in Calgary at the Mennonite Thrift store near Costco in the NE. when...

I have a green one as well. It seems to match my neighbors dark green Whispertone

Stopped at Goodwill the other day for a quick look and found this still sealed Kenmore Power mate sitting on the shelf for $5. Always a happy day when this stuff shows up.

I like both but I have a lot more fun using my older vintage stuff. I mean there's nothing easier than pulling out a Model G or 88 and vacuuming. Everything fits together so well, they're sturdy and quiet and they work. Compared to using my newer Miele there's no comparison even though it's a...

I had just read in the paper in the last day or two that India is allowing IKEA to open stores there and with no partnership. So the retail floodgates are about to open it would seem.

I'm 90% positive I saw those Orbs at Canadian Tire the other night on clearance for something like $19

Here's my Eatons Viking model.. not the princess though

Here's my Eatons Viking model..

I have the red PANA Commercial upright MC6640, not sure what year it is. googling MC5510 shows a newer canister.

I just noticed on the "compact" model it is shown without a powernozzle in the pic.. but the description notes it comes with a power nozzle.. hmmm

I don't have one, yet but it's on the radar. They look very sharp in all the chrome goodness, way better than the picture shows. Here's a prime example of a great product actually made in the USA that is reasonably priced, good quality, all metal construction. You would hope they sell a...

So what I'm hearing from you if in fact I've got it right is that this is the apex of vacuum cleaners? LOL It's definitely a keeper.

You can catch a brief glimpse of the 1983 Kenmores at .24 in this commercial

Aye Rob,, done all that but they're still a a bit chunky on the turns etc.. plus that huge sani-emptor  LOL
