    So the thrift stores yesterday rendered these two beauties! The Silver King came with all its goodies, original boxes, and the hair dryer bag. The Dirt Devil seems to have nothing wrong with it.

    Youtube vacuum smashers, lets do something about them!

    The more flagging this guy gets, the more comments he gets only fuels his need to destroy more things. I feel he needs to be ignored, no comments, no flags, just pretend he doesn't exist.

    NORCA

    Norca was (other members correct me if I'm wrong) a line of Hoover cleaners sold in department stores and vacuum shops, sort of direct sales instead of door to door. They are essentially identical to existing Hoover models with slight differences. Mainly, the brushroll's had different style...
