Just prior to Christmas I had a very good longtime Miele customer call and ask If I could dispose of his mothers "old style' vacuum cleaner for him. Most of us have gotten that type of call before, and fear the worst beat up damaged Kirby, or a Hoover Convertible that's so banged up you cant...

ok.... No problem.... send away... Hope it comes by next weekend!!! Chad

A LONG thought on Miele Vacuum Cleaners... After selling and repairing the Miele line of vacuum cleaners over the past 10 years or so, I can see some of the comments here being very insightful, needed, helpful and sane, and others just being plain blather and over dramatized from several...

I think that Mr Rocha is right... Marty, You're quite right the L bags are indeed the correct ones but the S&M's will fit as well, as they are the same sans wings. My thought was that Sam would probably have an easier time finding the S&M's than he would the L bags. Then again..what do I...

GEN-U-WINE...Singer Golden Glide Bags... Sam, Here's a link, to a sale on the bay, which offers a brand new package of NOS bags for your new Singer. If you really want to have the original things for display, these are it. As I said in my previous post, these are just Eureka S&M bags. In any...

Wasn't this the VERY last Convertible model..... IIRC, Jeff Parker told me that this was the very last of the Convertible series available up until 1992 or so. The 800 Series machine... There were a few other s still available too, but that this was the very last series... It looks great BTW...

Also does anyone know what style bags I could get for the G Sam, Those are the NLA style of Eureka bags called S&M. You can still find them on e-bay, and thankfully I have enough of them to last me until the end of time. Its been said that you can use a Eureka B bag, but the collar is...

Royal Upright Hose... What also gives it away as a dead ringer that's an upright kit every time is the round metal "standpipe", that is smack dab center of your photo. Thats the converter you plug into the suction opening of the fan chamber, thence you attach the hose to the opposite end of...

Dave and Chad can back me up on that. YEs, I was VERY impressed on the powerhead that your Samsung has. As I stated before we "used" to sell these a while back and they used a much larger head that reminded me of the miscengenation between a Eureka RotoMatic and a Filter Queen powernozzle. The...

Rare Westinghouse..... Yes, I saw this machine on the bay a day or so ago, and noticed amost immediatly IMHO that it could be crowned one of the ugliest vacuums ever to roll out of a vacuum factory. The first impression that I had of the machine was that it looked like a carp, with it...

Kenmore twin fan curbside rescue.... What a wonderful find. This was one of the very last of the Singer built Kenmores hailing from around 1992-93 or so. IT was no longer the TOL machine as they were heavily touting the larger Panasonic based WisperTone uprights, and their newer clean air, with...

HOLY SHAT!!!! Jack,. where did you ever find such a thing. HOW cool and super rare is that thing. Looks like my Air-Way Sanitary System I have. One thing tho, my neck by the carpet tool, is NOT bent. What's the story on this Jack!!! I wanna learn about this. Chad Ann Arbor Michigan

ANSWER!!!!!! It's a 1935 General Electric, without a headlight I believe....

When did Matsushita (National Panasonic) of Japan buy that W Well, I'm amking an educated guess here, as I never have conversated with people about Kenmore post 1980's era. They aren't even still exciting to me, and I havent done ANY research at all. It does stands to reason that this may...

Was this possible? Phillip, Yes, it's possible. I try and do this short. LOL Singer stopped offering their original vacuum cleaner line duirng 1981-82 for some reason, that I'm unclear of... They no longer offered vacuum cleaners thru their Singer Sewing Centers,and by 1984 you would never...

"Whirlpool-Whirlpools" Hi John, Gosh that would be very cool if you could do that. I kinda figured that more than Hudson's carried those machines, and wonder ever further if they were featured thru Whirlpool outlets that carried the major appliance lines. For example Town and Country...

Citation look-alike? Looking at that bag closely, it appears that there was something besides the H on the bag to the left, that has been wiped/smudged, painted. scratched out e.t.c.. It may have even said Citation, but could have said DVC. Tho, looking at the rest of the bag, you can plainly...

My novels.... "P.S thank you Chad for your info, I always enjoy reading your novels(lol) or um I mean your posts". When i first read that, I laughed otu loud, then I kinda was like "I wish I made money on them, the novels". LOL... I just hate to give too little information when I answer, and...

And Mike jogged my memory... The Duo-Power was NOT the last machine by Birtman-Whirlpool. I'm glad I'm not a historian or I would have MANY angry reders......LOL The machine that you just found, was another Birtman-Whirlpool upright that was brought out around 1986-87, and was based as I was...

Who was manufacturing this generation of vacuums for Sears? From everything I've read, and what I've heard, these machines were still being made by Whirlpool's left-over vacuum division at the time.... Up until the Panasonic years from about 1984 onward. Today, Panasonic, and I believe Dirt...
