    Hoover Elite 350 U4533-900

    After getting rid of the two Hoover Runabouts I’ve had over the years, I decided it was time to get another soft bag Elite. I found this gem on eBay and it’s only issue is the lower cord hook is broke off. The brush roll wasn’t in very good shape as far as missing some bristles in spots so I...

    My small collection of Kenmore Canisters

    It seems as of late I really enjoy picking up Kenmore Canisters! The Premier cleaned up really nice compared to how it was when I found it. The Whispertone EVPC still sees regular use in my home. The 200 Series is the only one of the group I bought brand new and I quite enjoy using it from time...

    Another Hoover off of my list!!!

    I got this Hoover Dimension 1000 S3491 about a month ago off of Facebook Marketplace for $35. It’s in pretty good shape other than the power nozzle is very noisy but I believe that to be the power nozzle motor or the brushroll bearings. It still cleans fabulously and the brush strips on the...

    Kenmore Magic Blue

    I bought this on eBay a few months back and finally got around to messing with it. I’ve always wanted one, but always passed them up the few times the opportunity presented itself due to the ones I’ve seen being pretty beaten up. I seen this one was in good shape and had most of the attachments...

    Does your family or friends ever use your vacuums?

    My wife uses my Riccar Vibrance Classic once a week. She doesn’t like canister vacuums, so generally she leaves my power teams alone.

    Some of my Kenmore Power-teams!

    Fan-of-fans! I bought the Cen-Tec to use the wands with my Tri-Star with a Panasonic nozzle I bought. I intended to put the Cen-Tec nozzle with the Whispertone since it didn’t have the powermate.

    Some of my Kenmore Power-teams!

    I’ve been on a Kenmore kick lately. My most recent patient is my Kenmore Premier that I found at Goodwill for about $3. It was absolutely filthy when I got it and it’s motor sounded like a squealing pig, but after I addressed that it cleaned up really nicely! Next is my Kenmore Whispertone EVPC...

    I’m back and with a new vacuum!

    @mark40511 This does use the Kenmore C/Q bags like the older Progressives and Whispertones use. It seems to have a okay seal but we will see as time progresses. I use the HEPA Cloth Bags with mine and it does a good job of keeping dust out of the bag compartment.

    I’m back and with a new vacuum!

    It’s been a while since I posted between starting a family and my obligations at my previous job, but I’m back with a new vacuum I bought a few months ago! This was from my local Sears Hometown Store and it was the display model at said store that I purchased for about $140. I’m really liking...

    Kenmore vacuums now sold on Walmart.com

    I wish I would have held off on buying my Kenmore 200 Series. I like the looks of that blue one on Walmart.com, but at buying mine as a display model for $110 at my Sears Home Store I felt like that was a good deal.

    My new eBay find!

    I won this Hoover Quiet Performance Canister on eBay for $55 with Free Shipping. I like it so far except I have two gripes about it. 1. The hose doesn't swivel at the machine end. 2. The little multitool thing is dreadful and the little clip on the wand that holds it isn't much better. It seems...

    Are these the new Kenmore canisters?

    Hopefully these don't suffer from the motor burnouts that I've seen on some of the newer Kenmore canisters.

    Still my favorite Oreck.

    I really don't care about the 8lb uprights, but I absolutely love this Oreck DutchTech DTX 1300

    What's your favorite car?

    I can't remember the color. Someone on here told me the color then I for got what it was called.

    What's your favorite car?

    2013 Chevy Sonic I had no experience with any GM car newer than a 2004 Impala. This car I find to be comfortable and great on gas. I also really like that it's Topaz Blue.

    What's your favorite car?

    My favorite car isn't a car. It is my daily driver 1997 Silverado 3/4 Ton (Goldie). This truck is a trooper and has never given me any major issues or left me stranded. My favorite car is my old 1966 Ford Thunderbird in Green. It was such a beautiful car but I had sold it to replace my wife's...

    Kirby Classic III I've also done the same as Ben and put the Mini-Emptor and Bag from a Legend II on my Classic III.

    Another Lenovo Thinkpad T61 plus a update.

    The first Lenovo T61 I had kicked the bucket. The Nvidia Quatro graphics chip died in it, and instead of buying another motherboard for it. I decided to scrap it and I took to Ebay and found this lovely example of one for $25 with free shipping, but this one has two differences from the 14.1"...

    My Newly Aquired Dyson DC07 All Floors

    This is my second experience with a Dyson, I have repaired one of these in the past for my old boss when I worked for Fleming's. It seems like a very well built machine. I picked it up for the sweet price of $10. I does have some issues though. The sole plate is missing and there is something...
