@kloveland - might you be related to the photographer Matt Loveland? He's a good friend of mine

I sure do know the Fred's crew although I usually hit up the Doc Charlie's House of Vacuums. They keep a collection of completely restored antique/vintage vacuums on permanent display in the window. Springfield has a totally of 5 vacuum stores and a gold mine of thrift stores and flea markets...

If I had known you were going to be in Springfield, I would have invited you to lunch or dinner for authentic Springfield style Chinese food. Also, maybe a day in Branson MO, the Vegas of the Midwest.

I'm moving into a slightly larger town house with a cool roommate with a liking of vintage appliances. I'm very excited and have extra space for an addition to my small collection. I'm looking for one of my dream machines: Hoover Convertible 1020 in either great condition or professionally...

Oh thank you!!!!! I'll be up that way soon!!

Once upon a time, I was house manager for a music venue for 4 years. Some of the greatest times of my life was there until the landlord gave us four to get out due to wishing to sell the building. I haste we moved as much as possible. In the rush, I left behind my trusty Electrolux Automatic F...

The reason for asking is I have a Hoover made- Advantage vacuum from the mid 80's. I love the thing and way it to out last me. The one thing that bugs me is the plastic base. I worry about it cracking or breaking even with normal nice use. So I'm curious about finding a metal version of the...

Has any one ever switched a plastic Hoover Convertible base to an old style metal base? Also do Hoover plastic bases break or last a long time?

Just saw Peggy carrying an Electrolux XXX on Mad Men.

I've see a purple Hoover Caddy vac on a few episodes of Arrested Development.

I prefer vintage as well. So much easier to repair and maintain but sadly the parts to repair are becoming harder to find and most people are too lazy or clueless for maintaining. I also agree with style- some of these new machines have the tackiest colors and shapes as well as being too loud...

Wow! Just Wow.......

My Kirby Heritage ll.

I could only see the benefits for stairs and such. When I worked for Sunglass Hut, I had to clean the tops of the cases and cabinets from all the dirt due to the mall being remodeled. I only had my Electrolux 1205 (pre collecting) so I had the carry it up the ladder and balance myself above huge...

While I was online shopping for a new Rainbow dust brush; I found 12' hoses for Rainbow D4, SE and for the E series. I'm curious as to a few things~ Is this becoming popular with other canister vacuums? Is this making difficulty in dragging the canister along? After dealing with the...

I confess to being lazy and using my Kirby Heritage II with hepa bag installed for the past month. My allergies have been going crazy so I finally brought out my Rainbow SE PN2 and cleaned the entire house. After 15 mins of use my allergies quit. I've been toying with the idea of buying the new...

I love those colors together.

Thanks Justin! It looks like a pretty straight forward upgrade. I know the Arm and Hammer bags were good but with my allergy sensitivity, all my other vacuums use high filter bags ( except my vintage convertible and Rainbow). If it turns out great then I'll upgrade my Kirby Heritage 1 that I...

I got the Arm and Hammer bags at Walmart but I'm sure you can track them down on line in Canada. I made the decision to upgrade the bag adapter to an actual G series bag adapter. I thought it would be a fun little project and make good use of higher grade bags.
