    Electrolux bags

    Sandy: Thanks for that thought! I kind of wondered if older bags might be prone to failure. I think I'll stop using the older bags that I have and start using new bags exclusively. Thanks again! Bill

    Electrolux bags

    I have kind of a dumb question. I have a variety of Electrolux bags that I've gotten from various places, some of which date to the 60s I think (not real sure). I use some of them from time to time. However, should I just put them up for safe keeping? In other words, are they collectible...

    Kirby Massager?????

    Drain Unclogger Yep! It does an excellent job on unclogging drains! I've used it for that. I've tried it as a scalp massager too. Not good. My dogs hate it as well. They won't tolerate it. Funny thing though -- my big dog will let me vacuum him off with my Hoover WindTunnel. But both dogs run...

    Visual Timeline Has Hoover or anyone else ever produced a visual timeline of Hoover models over the years. Aerus has one for Electrolux. Would be interesting to see. Bill

    Kirby G-3 Hose

    I have a hose. I have a G-3 hose in excellent shape. I'd be glad to let it go for $5 plus shipping. It's just sitting around and I don't need it. Just let me know. Bill

    Like new windtunnel

    Excellent Vac I have one of these. Excellent vacuum. Hard to beat on carpet. EurekaPrince is right about the hose. There's too much suction when using the accessory hose. But all-in-all, a very good vacuum! Bill

    Pimped Kirby for Dustmite control

    There is a company in Germany that's been doing something similar with Kirby modifications. I stumbled upon their website one time. Don't remember the company name. Bill

    What Is This? Model AE, AF, or modified AE?

    Can someone identify what this model Electrolux is? It looks an AE but has the power nozzle outlet like an AF? Thanks! Bill http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Electrolux-Model-E-Vacuum-Cleaner-Power-Nozzle_W0QQitemZ180322820275QQihZ008QQcategoryZ115993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Weekend Find

    Hmmm! That actually looks more like a Bissel or Eureka to me. Doesn't seem to have the typical Hoover look. But I guess everything at Hoover is changing. I stop by Good Will occasionally. I never seem to find anything in there. I guess it's just hit and miss! Bill

    Static Electricity?

    What a drift! What a drift! That's all I have to say! LOL! And I just thought something was wrong with the vacuum! Bill

    Static Electricity?

    Dog hair likes to cling to the outside of my Hoover WindTunnel. I've never had that problem with my other vacuums (Kirby & Electrolux). Could the problem be due to static electricity or something else? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks! Bill

    my G5 needs a new brushroll...

    Fine Tuning Adjustment Joe, I looked and didn't see any way to fine tune the adjustment. I think my problem is due to a combination of things. 1) As someone indicated, the standard brush roll is too stiff for the "berber" type carpet. I've noticed that Kirby makes a special brush roll. But my...
