    Ken mores for sale

    Omg... If I had known about these yesterday, I would have bought some of it. I found a lux I wanted, and can't afford anything else for a few weeks. How much? I could really use that smaller beige powermate, because I have the vac that goes with it. That brown canister I could use too. I...

    Boom

    Really? I truly do not think Tom deserved all of that nonsense. It seems to me you could make your point without being vulgar. It is after all a $350 bag.... He's not the only one that raised an eyebrow, I promise you. No offense, I'm just saying. If someone messages me privately, and I have a...

    Oreck XL2800H2B Airflow Measurements

    Airflow? Not to be snarky, but I've never used an oreck that had any airflow to speak of. As Tom G once said, it's just about the only vacuum out there with a hair dryer motor. This was almost 20 years ago, so there are many more crappy vacs on the market now. I bought one new once in about...

    2017 Vacuum convention

    Looks like a good time is being had by all. I've wanted to make it out there for several years, but there's always so much going on, I don't know if I ever will. At least there are pictures.

    My vacuum collecting sickness

    Sickness.... I really would avoid words like sickness, and the like. I know you didn't mean that in a derogatory way, especially when speaking about yourself, but it's very reminiscent of things that were said about, and too most of us as kids. Until I was well into adulthood, there were no...

    The End of Hoover Steamvac?

    Yep, I noticed the same thing at our Walmart earlier this month. I think that red one for $129 is what replaced it, because it's new to Walmart stores. Who knows, it may be just as good, considering the original style still wasn't made as good as the 90's ones anyway. I'm very curious about...

    VACUUM PALOOZA My Entire Collection Must Go!!

    What's left? I saw this post a few weeks ago, but I forgot about it until I just looked at it again. I don't look on here very often lately. I mostly like canisters, such as Electrolux, kenmore, rainbow, etc, but some uprights too. Just wondered what was left over, and how long you have to get...

    Wanted to Buy

    Golden j.... It's the super J you are thinking of that is like the Olympia and Silverado. The Golden J, or 50th anniversary model, was right before the super J, and looked almost just like it, but in fact it was basically a gold 1205. Completely different motor, and not as powerful as the...

    Kirby - Do I or don't I.

    Parts.... I was going to point out that that isn't an omega but a classic, however someone beat me too it. I sure could use that classic III bag laying on top of that box. What kind of place is this?

    Rainbow E2 2-Speed Measurements

    D4 readings.... Wyaple it doesn't make sense that you're D4 se/pe would pull more than your D4 se. They are the exact same machine as far as the canister is concerned. The only difference was the hose with button lock, and trigger, and the new power nozzle. As for the 2 speed, I have the...

    Some Kirby Questions

    Stop using it! Do not run that machine without the rug plate. It cannot seal to the carpet, and will not clean. I'm sure it's vibrating the hell out of your carpet, but it's not cleaning if you don't have the bottom plate.

    Electrolux Grand Marquis Automatic Control Selector

    One The lower the number, the sooner it will shut off. So, if you keep it on one, it will shut off and open sooner than the higher numbers. I must admit though zthat even on one it takes a while for it to have enough dirt to open, and I've never had the patience to wait all that long. Those...

    Vintage Kirby for Sale $400 obo

    Your price Is way too high if you want to sell it. These are not rare, and there are plenty of them out there. There are a few hopeful ebayers that price there machines at ridiculous prices, and they never sell them. Most old kirbys don't even bring a hundred bucks, unless they are in very...

    A "New" Electrolux E-Automatic For My Younger Brother

    About the anniversary model pn.... The 50th anniversary model, which came with the Golden jubilee was a pn-2, not a pn-4. Not that it's a big deal. Just pointing it out.

    Kirby Conundrum - Decisions

    About the kenmore... If you decide to give up the kenmore, don't take it to goodwill, please. Those whirlpool made kenmores are get harder, and harder to find, especially in decent condition. There are several of us that collect kenmore vacuums, so it would be nice if you offered it up here...
