1956 Sunbeam Dual Deluxe Tom, I agree with Patrick. So much more interesting than all the plastic made in china uprights today. A friend had one of those Sunbeam's and I DO remember it had very strong suction! Not sure what model but it was that color combination. No turbine brush. Love the...

Air-Way 88 Complete My family bought theirs in 1964 or 1965. I would need to check the back of the instruction book to be sure.

Lux Guardian Platinum Filters Gary, Thanks for sharing the information. I thought all Lux machines shut off automatically when the bag was full. He gives a nice demonstration. I hope those new style bags will correct the reported dust leaking problems. In the video, the machine is nice and...

Maytag Satelite I had the SAME crushed hose problem with both the white and stainless machines. I am with John on this one. Why didn't they stick with the well designed Hoover tools instead of using those cheap, generic, friction fit tools. The power brush was useless. I also did like the real...

Roll Easy for the 21st Century I love the color and styling but I can see several issues that would prevent me buying and would not be a good fit for my use: (1) power cord too short (2) hose way too short (3) bulky wands (4) no rug guard on the power brush (5) no light for power nozzle Same...

My Sirena PN is dead I don't know Mark but that just does not sound right to me. You don't want to get in a situation where you are almost out of warranty and the whole thing goes dead. Did your repair shop give you an explanation and did they try and address the problem with the switch...

The latest news from Aerus Electrolux What I cannot see is ANYONE buying all those expensive products at the same time from a door to door salesman. How many people would have a need for all those different products at the same time. I might need an air purifier or I might need a new vacuum...

My Sirena PN is DEAD Mark, That does sound like it will be an easy fix and better that it happened while under Sirena's expense. It sounds like they are willing to help you solve the problem and it is a new product on the market. Many times a new model will have some small bugs in the system...

My Sirena Power nozzle is DEAD! Mark, So sorry about your DEAD new power nozzle. Either way you have a out of service machine which you can try to fix yourself or are forced to haul it back to the dealer. Very disappointing for you but I am glad you shared it with us. I would not be a happy...

Sauber trying to come to the US I wish you had not said that! I kept thinking the new Aerus reminded me of something and know I realize -it was a cheap toaster. Funny idea! I love the braided hose and tool design. I would be temped just because of the hose design. Wonder if there is ANY...

Kirby Avalir Thanks for posting the pictues. Very nice looking machine. Such a nice change to see a quality product.

Tan model G sales Tom, You are 100% correct on your post except in Indianapolis the machines I was selling still had the regular Electrolux metal hose handle.

Tan model G sales Jimmy, When I started with Electrolux as a summer college job,they were JUST coming out with the model 1205. You are correct, in that the first few weeks,they were selling the last of the new TAN G's. They were discounted and I have the paper work at what the sale price was...

Forbes Article I have the heard same problem when you need parts for a big box store Electrolux (not Aerus) or new Hoover bought in the last few years. They don't stock the parts and who is going to wait or be without their vacuum for weeks waiting for a new circuit board or plastic pedal? The...

I have an Interesting find for you today Tom, It was a model 28. Think back years ago when you were at my house I had found ANOTHER model 28 with the same metal hood, same bag with just HOOVER on it and the same cord set at an Ohio second hand shop. I just gave that machine to Michael Turner...

Interesting find for yu today RB, The early 28 with the metal hood had the ribbed cord (almost blackish brown) and it had a large Hoover marked plug. The cord was shorter and stiffer too. The later 28 had the smooth finish cord,lighter color,longer and it had the belden plug. The later 28...

I got an Interesting find for you today I can second the DIFFERENT HOODS and BAGS for the 28. I had two grandparents who bought a Hoover 28. (1)one bought RIGHT after the war had the metal hood,bag that just said "Hoover" and it had a ribbed power cord,handle grip matched color of the...

New Rainbow Attachment-Supermop Thanks Bud, I was thinking it looked pretty big to me in the pictures. The Rainbow Web Site says it comes with 2 pads, but you would maybe need a few more for changes. I can see what you say- if you have large open areas to clean it would be fine but I prefer...

Has anyone used this new attachment? It looks like it is all self contained. I have the Rainjet and have used it all the time for cleaning garage floor, patio floors, kitchen and bath floors with the flip over brush/squeegee and then the sponge/squeegee flip over tool for the laminate floors...

Genuine Hoover bags? Still worth the money? I bought them for my Hoover Dail-A-Matic and Hoover Canister and I thought something was wrong with the vacuum. The worst bags I have ever used. They leaked into the bag compartment of both machines on the FIRST use and they clog almost immediately...
