    My Royal Estate Sale Find....

    I don't know alot about Royal vacuums. I know more about Kirby than I do Royal. Anyway, for $3.00, I simply couldn't leave this sad-looking Royal just sitting there! I didn't resize the picture, so look out! ~Tim

    Need your input on a new vac purchase!

    Hello friends, I'm looking for a new vacuum for my grandmother. She bought an el-cheapo Eureka and it's now trash. She doesn't abuse it or anything, it's just junk to begin with. I told her I'd go looking for a new vacuum for her. I want one with great reliability, but it also must be bagged...

    I Have Been Proven Wrong!

    I've got a similar Hoover. The Mach 5. It's sort of like your windtunnel. Just a little more gadget-laden. It has an adjustable handle, power hand tool, cord winder, and brush shut-off switch among other things. It's an alright vacuum and it picks up very well, but it's head is kind of big and...

    Extremely rare Kirby on eBay -- Somebody snap up this bargain quick!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well.... There's a sucker born everyday.... Lord knows, I've been that sucker on more than one occasion... But even I can see that is insane. I also noticed that the hose isn't original either. ~Tim

    Super cheap DC25 Blueprint from Best Buy Outlet

    No link I was saying that I, myself, do not find the current asking price as a great deal. I would rather see them knock another $200 off and THEN it would be a great deal. ~Tim

    Super cheap DC25 Blueprint from Best Buy Outlet

    It costs too much still. Now if it was $100... THAT'S a deal worth looking in to. ~Tim

    Collection Photos!

    That's alot of vacs! FANTOM FURY! I got one too. Bought it for $7 at the Goodwill. It needed a new belt and it had a toy stuck in the hose. I use it daily and it runs great. ~Tim

    Sani Em-Tor for Heritage II and Legend II?

    I remember seeing the shake out bag and emtor in the instruction booklet for a Legend I used to have. It probably wasn't standard, but optional like the small rug nozzle if you wanted it. ~Tim

    what's your daily driver

    just be sure to save the Sani-Emtor I plan on keeping it. The only thing I'm changing is the shake-out bag to the Tradition zipper bag and I'm going to use a Tradition Emtor and fill tube assembly. I don't like seeing those Kirbys with the after-market F&G set ups. I also don't like seeing the...

    what's your daily driver

    I use a Fantom Fury. The ORIGINAL Fury. It's lightweight and it gets the job done. I like the hose in the handle. Although I'm thinking of moving on to some sort of bagged system. I've got an all blue Kirby 516 on deck from a nice fellow member. It's getting new bearings. I'm going to...

    New *Quiet* Upright

    SEBO Felix I want one too! They're so damn cool looking! And so damn expensive... At the hotel I work for, we use Windsor Flexamatics. They are identical to the SEBO Felix, only a different brand. They are quieter than most vacuum cleaners. Which is important in a place like a hotel. You...

    my Singer R1

    Here's a photo of an R3. This is the one I was talking about. I think this is the best looking Singer in the R series. ~Tim

    OOPS! Mine is an R5 instead of an R4 My mistake! ~Tim

    my Singer R1

    I've got the R4. It's slightly different. It doesn't have the forked handle, which I wish it did, and has a cord winder. It has the original cloth cord in incredible like new shape! It has two speeds, a tan bag with SINGER in red, and it has been painted a dreadfully drab army green, which I'm...

    New Hoovers

    Looks can be deceiving... I bought a similar Hoover at Target. It wasn't the 'Windtunnel' Rewind, but it had the word 'Rewind' in it. That's the feature I liked the best. Ok. So I get it home, assemble it. Then I use it a little bit. It picked up quite a bit of dirt, so I go to empty the cup...

    SEBO Felix

    Yeah...I want one. They're pretty sexy vacuums, and I LOVE the features. I like the 'Classic' model with the plaid bag. At the hotel I work for, we have a couple of the WINDSOR commercial grade "Flexamatic" eqivalents. The only difference is the flexamatics have a 15" brush instead of the...

    Bought an old Eureka...

    Haha... I just sent one of these to the Goodwill! It was in OK shape. It had all the attachments except the rollers. The canister was dented here and there. The original hose was cloth. It had the original documents and owners manual, a package of bags, a print out of a Roto-Matic advert...
