    CUSTOMERS LOVE THE BAGLESS KIRBY CONVERSION

    Listen you,(keeler) I think it is DESPICABLE that YOU are saying that Jack(a vacuum EXPERT)'s "numbers and words mean nothing". As for criticising people that know more about vacuums than you, I think that is (pardon my French) is complete and utter bullshit! In regards to you belittling...

    That has a different bag. Therefore, not the machine I grew up with. Thanks anyway though.

    "An item is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it." A wise quote from our own Fred Stachnik.

    Any idea where i could...

    get this particular Concept 1? I grew up with this vac. It was my gram's. I have a duplicate but its in bad shape. I have hers too but it hasn't worked in years. I DESPERATELY want this piece of my childhood back. Here's a pic. NOTE: The bag on the cleaner in the pic is a replacement. The...

    My Flea Market Find

    Good luck with that. The machines are difficult to find on their own(trust me. i've been trying to find a 63 for 5 years with no luck). Trying to find an original bag is probably next to impossible.

    Nice haul Fred! The 65 even has the trim around the headlight lens.

    I DO like Green Ham and Bags...

    You were VERY lucky to have found those bags for the 2 speed Magicords. Around here they are scarcer than hen's teeth. I've resorted to using Hoover K bags in mine.

    Great Vacuum Day!!!

    I have that same Elite and I love it. So simple, so lightweight, and like any good Hoover, an excellent vacuum. I like that Innovation too. Nicknamed the "Aggrevation" because it is so difficult to service. Congrats on a whole haul of Hoovers!

    Alright since the last thread...

    I saw that too. I got the first picture from that site. I emailed them to see if that was the machine they still had in stock and they said they forgot to change the picture from the old Euroclean to the new SelectVac.

    Best Bagless Vacuum

    Brad, The Filter Queen is no different than the EnviroVac. The outside is a low efficency cyclone, then above is the cellulose and medipure filter. It will clog with dust because it still have the filter. Go to any Filter Queen in your collection, pick up the cone and you will see that the cone...

    Best Bagless Vacuum

    Chase, I must disagree with you. The reason your dysons didn't work well on your freize rugs is because the Dysons you had were made for cleaning the low pile carpet in the UK. The new Dyson air muscle was made to clean all types of American carpeting. Its designed to go deeper into the...

    Clubwide Long-Term Vacuum Test (I'm using a Singer)

    Just to clarify, that bag was brand new at the start of this test. What you see in that bag came from a week and a half of regular vacuuming. I NEVER thought I'd say this, but, after schlepping that Concept 2 up and down the stairs everyday for a week and a half, I need an Oreck 'cause my back...

    Clubwide Long-Term Vacuum Test (I'm using a Singer)

    Well, I just finished the test myself. I'm REALLY tired of lugging that big, heavy Concept 2 up and down the stairs. I vacuumed the house 1 last time, then I took the bag outside, cut it open, and THIS is what I found.
