    New Eureka Additions

    I picked up two new vacs this week. First is a Eureka Air Extreme, and second is a Eureka Heavy Duty. I have to say that the Heavy Duty is okay but the Air Extreme is my new favorite. I vacuumed with my Dyson DC 24, then the Heavy Duty, then the Air Extreme and I was shocked, amazed, and...

    Visit to Sears

    I actually went there with the intent of looking at a small straight suction machine just to use on my entry level tile and rugl which would fit in the closet below the coats. I already have a progressive canister, and love it. The sears guy rang up the sale, but i have a feeling that the...

    Visit to Sears

    I went to Sears this weekend to look for a new canister vacuum. When I got there I was immediately greeted by a sales man who took me over to the Dyson area. He began to show me all the Dyson models and the features of each one. Then another sales man came over and introduced himself as a Sears...

It is now tradition to get one from my mom when we each get our own house. Evryone my think what they want about them, or any other machine for that matter but in...

    Has anyone ever?

    I have always noticed all the vacuum parts on ebay. Which got me to thinking has anyone ever built a machine just from parts that they have found online. I am seriously considering trying to see if I can piece together an actual working machine from parts.

    has anyone ever heard of this?

    This is the one This machine had came through the office quite a while ago, I referenced it at one point, or another I am sure. While it may filter nicely the machine was cheap at best. It reminded me of the really cheaply made vacuum like the older Sharks. (no offense to anyone just a...

    What do you think of the Shark Navigator?

    Junk I have a shark Navigator and it is pure junk, I have owned it for about a year and loved it for the first month. After that it started to smell bad every-time I used it. The brush roll is cheap at best, clogging and bogging down every time it went onto anything thicker than a berber. As...

    Vacuum Commercials

    I found a website that has a bunch of cool vacuum commercials on it, it does take some looking to find some of them, but it does have a search option. Interesting to here some of the old slogans. http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/16257/

    A good looking place to pick up vacs

    Aweful I stopped in and could not believe the junk, most of it looked like it was picked right from the trash pile. The pictures defiantly lie, there was about 30 vacs and of the 30 maybe 5 were worth what they were asking for them. The other 25 were way over priced an they were not willing to...
