"And i forgot to mention one more test: Durability. THis test plays a HUGE rol in vacuums. The Kirby is made of high-grade aluminum. If you kock it into a wall, the wall needs repairing." Well......actually, aluminum shatters. Have you ever seen a Kirby nozzle with one end of it completely...

Has anyone gotten a reply from Tania yet? Alex

Tania, Email sent regarding a Filterqueen 33. Alex

I have that same model....

Charlie, I'm as bummed out as you are that you didn't find your dream waxer. If I ever find one, it's yours. But anyway, just keep lookin'. I've always wanted a Hoover 28 (for years), and finally found a beautiful one in mint condition with the original box and attachments with the caddy, etc...

I'd be interested he has any sort of Eureka upright with a cord-reel (ie: those white or chome and blue ones from the 60's or the gold box-top models) <br Alex

No, that is in horrible shape. Look at the second picture, the plastic casing is busted up. As mentioned, they're not hard to find. Save your money and you can get a much nicer one for the same price.

Make sure to use the white HEPA cloth bags in it, the difference is night and day versus the paper bags.

WOW! You would have been crazy to pass that up! If nobody else wants it, I would like to talk to you about it. Alex

Well, well, well child. Let's not get defensive here, don't take it so literally. I wasn't trying to claim that it had the best filtration, so you don't need to argue. The filtration is just as good (if not better) than one of those glorified water fountains. With a Miele, you change the bag on...

I bought my S7 Tango in July 2009, no problems at all. It's still basically brand new, the original bag that it came with from the factory is still in there, and it's not even 1/4 full (part of the problem is there isn't much carpet to clean, I've almost filled up the bag in my S4 with the...

Actually, you're the one who's dealing out the beef. I could care less, I have better things to do then have grudges with people who I've never met over the internet, which is the only reason why you're dishing the insults. I doubt you would say any of those comments to my face. Now, let's get...

I was skimping through the vintage archives and came accross this thread made by Hans when he found a GE C3 Roll-Around. I noticed his has a pink swivel top (Hans, can you tell us if it's plastic or painted metal?). Mine has a shiny chrome-metal top. What's the deal with this??? Hans': Mine:

PS, what makes you so sure the "Avalier" will even exist?

Only you would wish for the demise of a great company. Sigh.

Been there done that...only he did sell me the current model, at least! However, he didn't overcharge me. I think my bill was around $800-900 with the shampooer + zip-brush (and tax). The salesman said I had 3 days to return it. After enough threats he extended the time frame. Returned my "new"...

They're listing $32.xx for shipping to Seattle.

Search craigslist for a Sanitaire.

We all must keep in mind, just because they might be our favorite, doesn't mean they are the best There are a lot of good suggestions in this thread, I'm sure there are plenty more that will get posted later.

Tough choice... There were a lot of good canisters back then. I'd say Electrolux's and Compact's were the more powerful machines.
