I couldn't agree more, some companies offer so many models but the good old standards such a Kirby, Filter Queen, Areus, Rainbow and Air-Way had mainly one model. Electrolux did offer economy models and still does but they all were of good quality. Hoover always amazed me, they offered...

The VCCC and Vacuum-Land started out as a great idea. Someone in an earlier post commented on the politics of the club at that time. The truth of the matter was simply this: The board at that time found it in the best interest of the club to make Vacuum-Land and The VCCC to separate entities...

For me I would never trade an Electrolux for a Hoover. Electrolux quality surpasses the Hoover, I would dare say would also out clean the Hoover. If the Lux has a power head, I would find a newer power head and make sure the brush roll is replaced. I have never appreciated the Hoover...

Just recently purchased the home version of the Rug Doctor carpet cleaner. Hands down better than any Hoover or Bissell I have used. The quality of the product is far superior. Air flow is as described about 75% better. The scrubbing brush action also seems to be of good design. Far better...

Jealous! I have been looking for one as well.

Would anyone here have an interest in a Rainbow Chrome Dome vacuum with power head. The vacuum appears to have little use, Hoses are stiff but has all the tools. I can send pictures. Selling this for a friend and holding it to a solid $100.00 Her mom recently passed away and dad is 95...

Thanks for sharing Charlie! It is always fun reminiscing about past conventions. Morgan

Fruitcake...YUCK! I have never like fruitcake... Now Date filled pinwheel cookies, sugar cookies, divinity...now we are talking..

My Kirby Avalir, as I love all of the vacuums in my collection, Kirby will always be my favorite.

I don't believe it would have been for a woven hose but rather a vinyl hose. The metal cuff is not thick enough for a woven hose. If memory serves me correctly the woven hose version would have had a straight end rather than a screw type and would have used a glue to hold in place. Just my...

It is hard to put a value on the vacuum without seeing pictures. Your best bet is to put it on Ebay with a min bid of say $50.00. Again with out pictures it is hard to even guess what they might bring. Both vacuums are good vacuums, the Electrolux CB is an awesome machine and there may be...

One of our best conventions was held in Portland. I truly enjoyed Starks. They are very customer oriented and believe in the products they sell. Dave Olson did a fantastic job that year organizing and planning.

Orecks, I have the Oreck XL21 and love it. Many here have a bad opinion of the Oreck. Mine is very different. The XL21 I have is a very good vacuum. Not overly loud, grooms the carpet and has good airflow. My sister owns the same vacuum and it is still running well. Any vacuum that can...

When I worked for the school district we used Royal Commercial Machines. My daily driver was over 10 years old. We had one tool set for every building. In the summer we started in the elementary and worked our way to the high school. We replaced brush rolls every other year, just changed the...

They seem to help with the Oreck brand. I have also used them in the Electrolux Silencer.

2015 Buick Encore. Love old cars but hate what they do to the environment. As a young man, I could have had a 1953 Ford Glide-a-matic. Less than 10,000 miles on it and all original. Clock and radio both still worked. I let them sell it at the auction and invested the money in a 5 year CD at...

Back in the day Sears offered canisters that allowed for the expansion of the power-head system. The machine was sold as a straight suction unit with the power outlet provided if and when you wanted to upgrade.

Those were awesome machines. Like all Electrolux vacuums, they took a beating and kept on cleaning. They were the best vacuum for churches, banks and other places that had small spaces such as church pews and bank teller stations to clean. Wondering if you can still get the paper filter...

Post a picture, I have a never seen one...

I wish I could help, but I think you are in the ball park with the years. However it does look like the rug nozzle is not installed correctly....unless it just swiveled around.
