No Dance for This Gal I doubt this poor girl will ever get asked to dance. She's been hanging around the Ebay punch bowl for quite a while! She's quite sturdy but I don't think she'd be very light on her feet. Bill...

Takes me back to my childhood I love the Sunbeam! It takes me back to my childhood! That was quite stylish back in the day. Bill

Emer Vacuums I've seen those recently too. This what I found on their USA website. Bill http://www.emerusa.com/about.htm

Ok. So I've seen this brand called "Kalorik" in a couple of different places. I don't intend to buy one but I'm just curious about its origin. Does anyone know who makes it. Is it a re-branded vacuum? Thanks! Bill

belt change www.govacuum.com has a demonstration video on how to change the belt. It can kind of confusing at first and this video helps. But once you get the hang of it, it's a snap to do. Luckily, Kirby has used the same basic engineering on the belt lifter for decades, so this video should...

Kirby Diamond G I thought high speed was for regular carpet use and low speed was for vacuuming delicate rugs, mattresses, etc. I've lost my manual, so I'm not sure. Bill

Shop Vac Filter Well, I tried a Shop Vac filter. I cut it down as Ryan suggested. It fits slightly loose but I suppose the vacuum from the motor will draw it in a little more to make a tighter fit. Don't know for sure. The filter is so porous that I doubt it provides much filtration. But I...

Discontinued Item That filter is a discontinued item from Hoover. I order a couple from Hoover Celebrity's link. The company later refunded my payment because they are out of stock and won't stock them any longer. I found the filter at Southside Vacuum. Let's see if I get it. I have been...

Oops! Sorry. It wasn't at HSN that I saw the new red Electrolux Versatility. It was on QVC. http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.V27238.desc.Electrolux-Versatility-Upright-BaglessVacuum-w2-HEPA-Filters

Tomorrow's Agenda Thanks for all the helpful info! I plan to take a crack at it tomorrow -- taking it apart, at least. I'll let you all know how it went. Wish me luck! Bill

Well, I wouldn't choose the Eureka Boss. I had one. It's very good on carpet. However, that's about it. The bare floor switch broke almost as soon as I bought it. I found the bag hard to change too. But I'm not too bright with bags! And the airflow with the tools wasn't great and the hose...

Gee Wheels! Rick, I actually got the Model G wheels fixed! You were very helpful in a previous post several weeks ago! I don't think I would have figured that out without your help. Thank you! This Hoover Celebrity looks like it could be only a couple of years old. Its previous owner took very...

Quadraflex agitator Yes, that would be a Quadraflex Agitator. I haven't taken it apart yet, but it does look like the brush strips are replaceable.

I just came across a Hoover Celebrity with power nozzle for $10. I just vacuumed a bedroom that's never in use. I opened up the bag to see what it picked and wow! What a monster! The brush roll isn't in the best shape but I couldn't believe the amount of dirt and debris it picked up. Quite...

Ebay I've seen those on Ebay and advertised as "new." I wonder why they end on there.

Great Machine I had one and gave it away to someone who really needed a vacuum. I had the red one too with the dirt sensor and the extra light in the wand. It is an excellent vacuum. The accessory door in the canister is a little flimsy but otherwise an excellent vacuum. Another great bonus...

tHAt'S fUnNy! I have one of those that I picked up in near mint condition for $3.00!

Dyson & Oreck There's been so much heated discussion about these two brands that I'm now rather curious. I've never owned nor used either of these brands. Now, I feel compelled to check them out! Bill

Cardboard? Is the tool made of cardboard? Bill

Worst Vacuum? The one I fail to maintain properly.
