    collection of vacuums

    Michelle, IMHO you do right, if that's what you make you happy, go on. I don't think you need help at all!. Just enjoy you life. Personally I don't like to be so overstuffed, BUT this is questionable. Just be yourself, be careful with chainsaws, like electric knives they can be dangerous. Hugs Gus

    Advice on a find!

    This kind of machines are for buffering floors. They're not good cleaners, just absorve, suction some dust, but are not real vacuum cleaners. Besides they're not useful for waxing, since they are not intended for this other use. They just buff. This is not related exclusively to Hoover brand...

    Electricity Prices- what do you pay?

    Hi, I pay 0.07 U$S per Kw in low rate time, and 0.27 in peak time. This month I´ve payed U$S 100 for electricity. We use no gas at all. We live in a three bedroom flat with a number of electric machines: clotheswasher, clothesdryer, dishwasher, 30lt water heater, 390lt freezer-refrige, 2 split...

    Electrolux B8 vs GE chrome floor polisher

    On other thread I was talking about an Electrolux polisher which failed soon. But on the other hand, my father bought in 1970 a GE Chrome floor polisher made in Brazil which so far is still polishing floors, not at my house anymore but at my job. That good machine was very little repaired, I...

    Electrolux Group B-61 Buffer/Shampooer

    Hi!. I used to have one of this, just the same colour. I assume it's Brazilian, but could be Chilean. Anyway, though Electrolux it's my preferred make, sorry John, this one it's not specially good quality. One or two years after we bought it, it started to fail, the motor worked but the brush...

    Electrolux Bag Brigade

    @ Christopher, that's exactly the idea I had in mind, but apparently I misunderstood you were saying you were the most expert here, so I thought what about the other people here who are real experts? I'm not any expert at all!, but there is a number of people that they DO, so I felt offended...

    Electrolux Bag Brigade

    @ Christopher, sorry, but how bad sounds " I am by no means the biggest Lux expert here ". It looks like a lack of humbleness or a too young person with little experience for talking of himself. Ok, sorry if I understood the wrong way. Gus

    Sorry guys, but re-reading my statement, I found out that I didn't mention the make of the vacuum, it is a Toshiba canister vacuum. I apologize for my forgetting the name. Thanks Gus

    Are The New Toshiba Electronics Any Good?

    Hi, I don't know if this could be useful or completed outdated, but I used to own a vacuum cleaner, a canister with a sort of three bags in one, magic bag they called it and still runs, except the wands and floor brush worn out and should be changed some years ago. Actually I don't remember if...

    Goblin Skyline 1250

    One more thing, if you let, check the motor pre filter, could be clogged. Might never been cleaned. It happened to me once with a friend's vacuum.

    Hoover S bags

    Hallo Brian, after all these days my son Farid, finally came back from his work trip to Toronto. He rented a bicycle (he's always trying to do some sort of exercise)and he went to the Home Depot on Wilson and Dufferin. Those bags are rather expensive but he could buy Hepa S bags so I think is...
