    My NIB Hoover Elite U4617-930

    I'm thinking of selling this as I just got a NIB Hoover legacy a couple weeks ago. So send me a good offer if interested. I did BIN for $52 and after having ups box it and the shipping it was another $48 so keep that in mind.

    My NIB Hoover Elite U4617-930

    Found this on eBay the other day and kindly asked the seller if they would ship even though it said local pick up. I said if you bring it to a UPS store I can call the store and pay over the phone. They agreed, could've just offered shipping but that's neither here nor there.

    Aerus Electrolux Classic

    Vacuumlad Because if someone brought their unit in under warranty with a non genuine bag it could void the warranty depending on how picky your dealer is. Example, I like DVC hepa type c bags, if my ultralux classic was still under warranty I would remove the non genuine bag when bringing it...

    Aerus Electrolux Classic

    If you ever bring in a machine for warranty service just make sure to have a genuine bag installed

    Aerus Electrolux Classic

    If you really wanted one badly a good central vac installer would figure it out. Usually you can run it through a down stairs closet to reach the second floor.

    Dyson cordless wands

    Had the same thing happen but mine was at the floor end. Dyson took care of it but still, don't use it that much and never expected that to happen.

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    @ Rob shore I tried negotiating with health mor and he basically you said you don't like the price buh bye...honestly eBay is my best bet, that's where I got my 80th anniversary one from that was brand new. These D2D Dealers cater to the demographic that typically falls for all the gimmicky...

    Hoover Quik Broom, With a power head?

    Or look for a Hoover flair with PN. I was blown away when I got mine, the brushroll actually beats the carpet and the suction is unexpected. I know the brush is a lite more aggressive than the one you have pictured. Plus if you remove the PN on the flair you can attach a regular bare floor...

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    I do wish I hadn't sold mine. I called the factory to ask about buying directly from them since we have no dealer close by, the price I got quoted was ridiculous. $2,600. Given I know what the rainbow, Kirby and guardian platinum go for when dealers buy them I thought this was quite the...

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    Ok I figured that the machines with the new PN style were all the same suction. Motor.

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    I had the 80th anniversary edition and didn't like the PN for the exact reasons you stated. I was always curious if mine had the single stage motor? It kinda sounded annoying like a singe stage but not too bad if that makes sense

    Spencer Carwash Vacuums

    Crazy That company is one exit up from me and all the years growing up passing by I always wondered what spencer turbine was. I always figured it was an aviation thing since we have a lot of businesses in CT that build parts for planes and helicopters. It wasn't till a couple years ago that I...

    My 1984 Toro 21" Rear Bagger

    Really doesn't get better than a Honda. My whole family has and continues to use them since the 90"s. I convinced my mom to give me the HR 215 I grew up with and also have a TOL 217 for better mulching. My mom bought the last HR 215 with electric start for the pool area and still uses her Honda...

    Won an Oreck XL21!

    I can tell you hands down the 21/ platinum series does better than the old style all around. Plus you get all those tune ups every year, granted you have a shop that knows how to do them well.

    Won an Oreck XL21!

    Love it, aside from the tacony lightweights its a power house. The only negetive is the brushroll is a small diameter so it wraps with hair quickly. Also buy a new brush roll for it every couple years.

    What kind of mixer do you use/like???

    Anyone else have a nutone power center, I grew up with one. Had all kinds of attachments, it came out when my mom remodeled the kitchen but she saved it I believe.

    Here Come the 2016 Dysons!

    When are they going to put a legit electric PN. Back on their canisters. The size of the cinetic nozzle would be great if they just added rear wheels to it and an elbow it would make a good power head to add to their canisters. But they seem to be stuck on this whole turbo thing
