    Filter Queen and other vintage machinery

    This week I bought a Filter Queen at a thrift shop. I found a rather shopworn Filter Queen model 33. The machine had several packages of cones, a newer brown replacement straight suction hose and the S-wands with a nozzle. I hesitated, then decided the the 15.00 price was a good deal considering...

    Wanted: Brown Filter Queen Wand seal/cuff

    Hello. I am in need of 2 brown wand seals for the S-wand assembly. If you have any that you are willing to sell let me know. They have to be brown. The new ones are black and I do not like the black wand seals with a brown machine. I know, I'm picky and exacting. If you have 2 brown Filter...

    How good are Miele vacuums?

    Miele I think Miele the only way Miele could outdo itself would be to an 8 or 10 foot hose as an option. As far as short cord goes, my Bolero has a 40 foot cord. I only have to plug it in once and can clean entire my main floor if I use a centrally located outlet. I remember when I bought my...

    Miele Bolero housing scratches

    Happy Thanksgiving. Recently, I bought a Miele Bolero for a good price. Its former owners were slightly confused: I assume that they thought it was a garbage disposal. I am basing my opinion on the clog I pulled out of the machine that ran from the base of the machine to the end of the hose...

    Hi. Does anyone have Filter Queen S-wands and a nozzle (additional felt pad would be fantastic) and / or a dark brown Filter Queen 8 or 15' hose they would like to sell? They have to be dark brown because my machine is dark brown. Thank you, Derek.

    Wanted Dead or Alive! Round top Eureka upright. Red/ Chrome. Cash Reward

    The base has the wide rear axle and a square hood. Though it makes sense, I do not find it aesthetically pleasing to me. The 886 has too loud of a motor for my preference.

    Electrolux LX and Electrolux E

    LX bag I used to have an LX. I put a short pencil stub in the switch by the hose inlet, the small tab in the rectangle opening. That acted as a "church key" and prevented my LX from launching the bag out at me while I was cleaning.
