    The horrible truth about central vacuum systems and why every non-Canadian millennial hates them.

    I go to lots of estate sales. In fact, I went to one on Friday that had a central vac. Every home I’ve been to that has a central vac, always has another upright or canister. Why is that? Just an observation.

    What's the consensus on 90s and 00s Eurekas?

    In my opinion Bravos were a cheap Elite copy. Not many collectors like them. The Excalibur is bulky and has weak tool suction from my experience. The standard F&G platform was and is the still the best from Eureka.

    Kirby rug shampoo

    Diversey Dry Foam Shampoo I might try this. I've been looking for an alternative. I've been shampooing carpets on the weekends.  I've had seven clients so far. I first use my B8 with Kirby shampoo to scrub the carpet and then an extractor to extract it. I use a little bit of Hoover Oxy solution...

    Regina Housekeeper Upright Vacuum Model 6308-A - Gets Clogged Leaving Brush Housing

    I have several of those and have never had that issue. Did you disassemble the hood and check the hose? Sounds like bvac6 is right. I think there must be a pin/obstruction, or something stuck in the hose. I see you already put it on eBay with the issue described. I may run into you one day. I do...

    Eureka and Sanitaire Pictures

    1486 A Here is a new one to me.. model 1486.. the color is really attractive. Almost a turquoise blue. I can't find much info on this model. I assume late 80 is when it was made?

    VCCC convention June 20th

    Pics will be updated on our official site! They are also in the Facebook vacuum groups. I feel like posting stuff here is counterproductive. Since most collectors have moved to Facebook. We did have a good turn out 45 people with the film crew! Attached are a few pictures that I have.

    What vacuums do/did your parents or grandparents use?

    In 1985, the year I was born. My relatives were not using new vacuums. The exception being my mother and great-grandmother who were using Hoover Convertibles that were fairly recent for the time. (see post above). Even though I'm not yet 40. I'm so thankful I wasn't born in the cheap Walmart...
