It was a Dealer's Only model for the first few years. The dealers got upset with Oreck when they started selling them online and Factory Direct. I left the local Oreck franchise in 2006 so I missed it when the Oreck family sold out and the dealers were 'thrown to the wolves' so to speak. The...

The Filter Queen is the better vacuum. It is of higher quality and more likely to last, but any vacuum will if properly cared for. Just my opinion. Justin

I have a model 66, but it's only got the dolly and a couple of the attachments. I wish I had the hose and the rest of the attachments. I would love to have the Model 70 and 103. They look great.

The rare vacuum I have, which is in storage and I can't get to it to take a picture of it, is a Westinghouse tank-the type on metal runners. It's the same model as the one from the episode of I Love Lucy where Lucy buys a vacuum from a door to door salesman and then has to go door to door to try...

Divotking As with any collectable value is based on many things, condition, originality, accessories, desirability and demand. Your vacuum looks to be in good, but not perfect condition. For maximum price it would need to be in perfect condition. The hose is not original, it looks like a...

The XL21 did come out in 2001. I'm not sure when they started puting the 'date manufactured' on the machines but if, for example it is 03221 you machine was made on day 221 of 2003. January 1st would be day 001 and December 31st is day 365. I hope that helps. Justin

How much for the Electrolux PN2 and the Heritage II? Thanks, Justin

I've seen people use F&G bags on Hoovers that take a tpye A bag and also on some Kirbys... but never a sock. Sometimes I wonder if people do things like that because of expence of bags or trouble finding them or is it because they just don't care if they use the wrong things.

Or maybe this one.

I hope that someone out there in vacuumland has some used metal Eureka upright handles for a model like the one in the picture. If you have one and are willing to sell it, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Justin [email protected]

My question for a Royal expert would be... would putting a 9 blade fan into a low amp machine ,like my 606a, give it stronger air-flow or would I need to replace the motor too. I love my 606a, but it has rather weak air-flow/suction. How would that be best addressed? Thanks, Justin

Very nice collection you have there. Welcome to the club. Justin

I love it!!! I have once used a clamp-on type lamp on the handle of a Kirby... I may try that gain. I also loved your "No vacuums were harmed" notice. Justin

If you would like to get the overall performance improved I would suggest that you order the Dirt Tube and Overmold to convert your 1934A to use the synthetic Style ST bags. I have done that and my Eureka 1425 works wonderfuly. Let me see if I can add the address I ordered from. Justin...

Normally, I don't like change and most of the vacuums that I love are old styled. But I have to say that I DO like this new Oreck. It looks VERY stylish, sleek and just kinda fun. I'm sure that my Kirbys will out clean it, but I just looks fun. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one in a pawn...

I am going to guess that the Handy Andy Vacuum is made by someone else, like Tacony with a Handy Andy lable glued on. Like the Stark's Royals are made by Royal with the Stark's name on the bag. Does anyone know who is the maker of Handy Andy's vacuums? Justin

I would use the Concept One, sprinkel some kind of deoderizer like Oreck's Crystal Aroma, sparingly, then vacuum very, very well. Don't bother with the lady's Oreck as it will not deep-clean, even with a new bag and belt. Your Hoovers will out clean the Oreck by miles. If possible I'd use some...

Alex, Thanks so much. Justin

Hi, I hope that someone out there in vacuum land can help. I recently got a Eureka 1425E from Drake in Idaho. It works well and looks great. It did not have a bag so I put the left over blue bag from my Sanitaire SC684A (the Sanitaire got a new ST Type bag system for Christmas). The white hood...

Human, You DON'T need to replace the whole outer bag assembly, just replace the bag adaptor. They are on ebay for around $10 to $14. That's way cheeper then replacing the whole bag unit. Justin
