    Thrift store find

    What's everyone's opinion on Orecks?

    I personally love my Orecks. I know they don't have great air flow along with some other flaws but I love mine.

    My experience with a Dirt Devil Quick & Light Carpet Cleaner

    I was thinking the same thing! Yeah I've heard bad things about the quick steamer. By the way ihavetotryagain maybe if you take the water tank off of your grandma's hoover carpet cleaner, and just spray the cleaning solution on the rug with a spray bottle it would not leak into the motor. Also...

    What do you like/love when vacuuming?

    my favorite part Is when I vacuum with a machine for a few months then cut the paper bag open and see how much its picked up. It's very satisfying to see how much vacuuming has paid off. I also love the feeling when I see a vacuum at a garage sale or thrift store and my heart skips a beat.

    Whats the dirtiest vacuums you've seen?

    I was wondering what were some of the dirtiest vacuums you've seen. Some of mine were a sanitronic 50 that was completely thrashed, it was moldy had water in it and a slug. Next would be a shark navigator that was so packed with dirt it smeared dust on a rug and overheated.

    very old possiblely 1909 whole house Vac system

    There are many Different “first” vacuums I personally think it’s a matter of opinion. Your could claim it was Daniel Hess, or Herbert Cecil Booth, but in my opinion i would say James M. Spangler. He made the first portable electric suction sweeper which then became Hoover.

    Central vac recommendations

    After careful consideration If you pay for the shipping and you find one of those filtex models I’d be happy to trade. The only thing about the machine (besides light cosmetic damage) is the power nozzle is completely useless, it’s cracked it vital places. Finally if we trade are you...

    Display vacuums

    I’ve heard people talk about display vacuums at stores being real vacuums, but the only display vacuums I see at stores (besides Costco) are fake. They always have fake plugs, and other fake parts.

    Patriot vacuums

    Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew any thing about patriot vacuums. A family member bought one new in 2005, And loved it. She gave it to me because the power head and hose broke. I think it’s a P2 something, this is random but it sounded weirdly like an Electrolux xxx.

    Central vac recommendations

    I’ll have to think about it I might be willing to trade, but I have to think about it. But if I so, would you trade something like this? This was the same machine my grandmother had before she moved. I believe it’s a Filtex

    Ghetto Vacuum Contraptions?

    Wow! I have made a few odd contraptions from vacuum cleaners, but these are amazing! The only one I remember is trying to attach a leaf blower battery to a oreck, I didn’t because I was worried about shorting it out (I’m terrible with electricity). Is this possible? Merry Christmas JB
