    My Sears store is closing

    Ours are all gone now, K-Marts too. It's a shame, as they used to be the #1 and #2 national retailer.  They suffered from a CEO that was more interested in real-estate than retailing, and in the end forgot the most important thing about doing business with the public.  The Public.  Both...

    Titan Vacuums

    I just saw a banner on EZ vacuum.com  "Introducing the Titan Vacuum" Looking at them they have a smell of a Tacony product.  Anyone know who makes the Titan? https://www.ezvacuum.com/vacuum-cleaners-c-8/titan-vacuum-cleaners.html

    Maytag M700 Lifetime Belt

    Re: Demise of Taconey I notice on their website that the only canister vac available is the Wondra. And the uprights offerings have been severely culled. Maybe they are redesigning the site?

    Rainbow E2 Gold won't turn on

    That was rather flip advice. The poster was asking for help,and was told to buy a new machine. Isn't this contrary to what most of us would do? Dear Original poster I'm sorry I don't know the answer, but I am positive some will be able to assists you.

    Everybody almost ready for The VCCC convention?

    If I may: Though it doesn't mean anything, and I am not trying to start an argument.   I know there was much work put into the convention, but in the interest of accuracy, and as a Kansan; The Wizard of Oz was based in Kansas.  Though Kansas City, MO has the name Kansas in it.   KCMo is...

    Lindhaus HF6 the portable Central vac alternative.

    I like Lindhaus machines Unfortunately, I have not seen them available in my area.  If found online they cost a pretty sum.   I know there must be a supplier somewhere, as the schools use them.  I can't watch videos at work,  besides the bag, what other filter/after filter system does it...
