    Hoover day at the thrift store!

    I have never seen so many vintage hoovers in one spot on the same day!! I need a floor tool of some kind to go on my constellation, so I got the blue broom. Something tells me the self propelled thing might be special?

    looking for a canister

    I agree~ You cant beat the Tristar/Compact for cleaning ability. Very simple, basic and strong. You cant hurt them and they clean great!! With the standard wands, you can even update the tools for the bare floor to a Wessel-Werk (sic?) tool that is great for both bare floors and carpet.
