I'm so sorry that you seem so down. I wish I could tell you to keep your chin up and don't give up hope. But, with my issues, I'm the farthest thing from a motivational speaker. We have a house, although it won't be paid off for quite some time. And, with me unable to work any more, we're barely...

This might be kind of a weird question. But then, I'm kind of weird. I have hopes of adding a metal-bodied Electrolux to my collection. The style that started with the 1205. I believe there were several versions, leading up to the introduction of the plastic body. Is there any particular...

This isn't a vacuum question, per se, but I didn't know where else to post it. And, I guess it would have been a good idea to ask before I made the purchase. I just ordered some Style C HEPA bags for my Electrolux/Aerus vacuums. So far, I've never used anything but the genuine Electrolux or Home...

Yeah. Somehow, I overlooked Costco and BJ's Wholesale. We have both of those too. I would say I didn't think of them because they're not strictly grocery stores. But...neither is Walmart.

Wow. The Oreck already looks a lot better! My soft bag Hoover doesn't have the provision for the air freshener tablet. Do you use the HEPA Type A bags in the Hoover?

Hey Jack. That IS a good week in my book! That poor Oreck looks so sad. But, if you enjoy the cleaning up process, it should be a rewarding one. And, I now have two Hoovers with that style hood, and I'm too afraid of breaking the tabs to try taking them apart for cleaning and belt/brushroll/bulb...

That looks really good! I really admire people who understand techy stuff. I can't even figure out how to activate the new phone that I bought over a year ago. I could have a field day creating logo shirts if I knew how! Good job!

I gave it its first run today, in the laundry room. I got the Type R bags that I ordered. They're smaller than I expected, and shaped odd. I was expecting something more like an Electrolux C bag It seems to have halfway decent power/airflow. I see why there was a problem with the hose, near...

Sent you an e-mail.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on what kind of bag would offer better filtration; the disposable paper bags, or the cloth shake-out bag that came with it? Edit: I just took the bag all the way out for the first time, to clean it, and discovered that there are one or two small holes in it. One of...

Congratulations, Anonymous! ;) I love when people find one of their dream machines!

I thought so too. It seems like they made the Tempo canisters in different "trim levels". I think there's a 150, I believe that one doesn't have a cord reel. I don't know about tool storage. This is a 350. Then, I saw a video of a 450, and that one had a motorized power nozzle. I actually wish I...

Kind of a neat little find at my closest thrift store today. Well, I think so. Amongst the new batch of bagless uprights, there sat a little light blue canister vacuum. Closer inspection revealed it to be a Hoover Tempo 350, model S1335. It looks complete, except that two of the tools are black...

Thanks, Alex. I kinda figured, but I wanted to ask folks with some knowledge on the subject.

Found a nozzle Well, the vacuum itself still needs work, including a new fan. But, at least it looks more complete now. I was able to find a complete nozzle (or head?) for $25. I like that it has the model names that correspond to what the vacuum actually is. It’s not perfect, but I’d say...

That's really cool, Scott! Looks like it would clean up nicely too, if you're so inclined.

Take this with a grain of salt, because I have no real solid evidence to go on. But, is there any chance you'd be willing to move to a different state? We're in New England, where everything is insanely expensive. We know people who moved south; one to North Carolina, and one to Tennessee. They...

Good deal! Congratulations! And, Happy New Year to you as well!

I'm in the thumbs up camp, but with an asterisk. I realize that they have their limitations. And, I started out as a strictly canister vacuum fan. We have no carpet, and just a few area rugs. So, any upright is quite impractical for us. But, like husky was saying, they're pretty simple for a...

Ihavetotryagain Thank you. I think it will clean up nicely. Ive always liked the looks of these Hoovers, but I never owned one until the Encore Supreme Soft & Light. Now, this Elite came into my life, pretty soon afterwards. I don't especially care for the way you have to take them apart to...
