Motor Note I have a Kirby Diamond G. Kirby's recommendation for the nozzle setting doesn't seem to work. I have short looped carpeting with padding in one room like you and the extra click makes the brush roll bog down sometimes and seems to wear out the belt too quickly. But at the same time...

Great Collection I checked out your site. You have a great collection. Especially cool is the National vacuum from Holland that looks like a piece of furniture. Very cool indeed! Bill

Here It Is Don't know what happened there! The article is from the VDTA site dated October 2008. Sanitaire introduces DuraLite® lightweight upright Sanitaire recently launched a whole new commercial breed of vacuum cleaners. Called the DuraLite®, this upright vacuum was designed and...

DuraLite Article Check this out. http://https//www.vdta.com/Magazines/OCT08/fc-SanitaireOct08.html

Wattage Ok, I have another novice question. I noticed on the UK Hoover that it is a 2200 watt machine. Here in the US, I'm thinking most uprights are billed as 1200 watts. Does that mean that the UK Hoover is more powerful than US Hoovers? Or does it just mean it consumes more power? Thanks...

Thanks! Thanks for the information! It came from a house that was being demolished. With the exception of this GE floor brush everything that I received was Electrolux. The man who gave me the vacuums and accessories told me that there were non Electrolux vacuums but he never brought those to...

Really Filthy It was really filthy. I'm in the process of cleaning it up.

Another Photo Sorry about the size. Don't yet know how to make them smaller.

I received this floor brush with a lot of Electrolux vacuums and accessories. It doesn't look like a typical Electrolux floor brush. Could someone tell me if it is, in fact, Electrolux or another brand. Thanks! Bill

Oreck Canisters I've always wondered if Oreck makes all its own products or if they sub out some of the things they sell -- e. g. their full size canisters. I noticed on their commercial website that they have a new upright that looks like a Eureka/Sanitaire vacuum. Does Oreck manufacture that...

Harley That is a very good article. I appreciate all the input. I think that in the case of my Epic 6500, it wasn't working efficiently because the nozzle shoe wasn't making good contact with the floor. I gave it away, not realizing that it was something that might be fixable. Now I want to get...

Can someone explain to this vacuum cleaner novice why good suction AND airflow are both necessary. I had an Electrolux Epic 6500 that had strong suction but its airflow didn't seem great. It never groomed the carpet as well as my other Electrolux vacuums do. I put a new brush roll on and had no...

My Bad Ok. My friend tells me that only the Buick was named for her Mom. Sorry about this drift. But you can see why I was curious about the origin of the model name. Again, sorry!

BTW I don't know that all the detail of that story are correct. That's the story that floats around my town. I'll have to visit with her daughter to get the full scoop.

Electra Biggs I was wondering if there was a Lockheed connection. Both the Lockheed Electra and the Buick Electra were named for a woman from my town -- Electra Waggoner Biggs. For those familiar with the art world, Electra was a famous sculptor. She sculpted the busts of Eisenhour, Bob Hope...

Is it me or does the model look just a little mad or even "liquored up" in that ad? LOL! That's a great ad BTW!

Model Name Would anyone happen to know the history behind the model name "Electra"?

Very Clever! I always thought it had a cloth outer bag. So that's the exhaust filter! Thanks again for all the great pics! Bill

Can you post a pic that shows the inner bag and assembly? Thanks! Cool looking vac too!

I love the video!
