    Filter Queen PN Question

    Best FQ PN The 360 is the best for deep-cleaning & pet hair but so/so on durability; but I don't use the PN that much since I only have throw rugs & vacuum them with the floor brush (does a nice job too) A 48 Series (Princess style) PN is best on comercial use b/c they hold up better than the...

    FQ mdl 31

    No PN outlet on this 31 but I'm not sure about retrofitting one b/c I also have a salmon color PN (mdl 48) but I'll leave it as original as possible. I also have the Jet deMOTHer & sprayer in salmon; now its nearly complete. All I need is a salmon color PN wand.

    Hoover Suction Polisher

    Has anyone seen these at dept stores here in the US? I think I saw a Suction Polisher in either a Fingerhut or Montgomery Ward catalog back in the 1980s but don't know if they were sold only at commercial vac shops (where they specialize on commercial machines) or specialty vac shops or Hoover...

    Regina Housekeeper

    Its a rarity to have a Housekeeper last for 20+ yrs but I'm surprised about this despite my sister having long hair & the hair gets wrapped around the roller; I get 2 remove the hair from the brush.

    Regina Housekeeper

    why do people bash this vac? I hear it was a good vac (except the filtration) & the Housekeeper was the 1st vac 2 have on-board tools. What problems did the vac create 4 Regina? My sis had this vac since 1986 & LOVES the Housekeeper today.

    XXX Ultra Power

    Has anyone seen a XXX Ultra Power? It looks like a Regina Housekeeper & Lux 3500; uses the same style bag as a Lux upright & same tools as the Housekeeper. TWO motor system not one; vacuum & brush motors are 2-speed; vac is lite grey (trim) & cadet blue (body)

    I saw a Suction Polisher here in the USA when I was a kid but I can't remember whether I saw it on TV or in a store. They are so hard 2 find!

    Can I use a MiniStar on a Lux 6500 or Sidekick on a MG Series Tristar? Or are they not compatible?

    New additions

    Suction Polisher I think they were sold here in the US around the late 1970s & early 1980s; not sure? If the suction polishers were here in the USA, where were they sold?

    Your most FAVORITE vacuum

    I forgot the "S" on vacuums btw nice Turbomaster U have there; I guess it was our Elites here in the States? If this economic crisis didn't happen, I'd buy every vintage vac for sale. Did the Turbomaster have variable speed control?

    Quadraflex Powermatic

    are there any parts still being made? I need the duct cover but had no luck finding it at the Hoover store. It reminds me of my brother's Hoover vac; that's why I decided 2 keep the Powermatic instead of selling it.
