Tom Best wishes with the new museum! I really enjoyed the time you gave to me, Tania and Duane in the past at the former location. Tania and I recently talked about making a trip to see you sometime this year. We will definitely look forward to seeing YOUR museum that you solely own and...

Was/Is there something to identify the 3 row brush roll used initially in the Hospital G? I was told that later in the production and possibly including the tan G version that the nozzle used a 2 row brush roll. Evidently the 3 row was too much torque on the motor and they burned out. My...

Andrew, I sent an email to you at your address listed in your profile. I have some information on U style HEPA bags. Charlie

I recommend the Guardian Platinum. I have the canister and matching upright and really like both of them. The canister is very quiet, variable speed control, excellent filtration, quiet power nozzle, true 6 ft. hose and even looks good! The upright twin motor is also quiet, versatile and the...

I have a two-car oversized garage that is carpeted. It helps keep the house cleaner in that it catches the schmutz from our shoes and any dust that may leak in during windy weather. It also makes it easy to keep the garage clean. With that said, I use a Kirby Sentria to vacuum it with the HEPA...

Electrolux/Aerus no longer makes bags for these models. There were 3 distinct versions to match the corresponding canisters. I bought one NIB about 15 years ago from a Lux dealer. It was the gold/yellow one matching the Super J just like Keither's that is pictured. The performance was...

Another I don't think was mentioned here was the type of power nozzle used. The 236, (or current version), IMO, is far superior to the smaller one. I owned a Champagne some years ago and it came with the 236. That combination was quite a cleaning machine. I bought the smaller less powerful...

I have the brown version, (maybe a 602? or 603A? I'll have to look later), from Tom Gasko after a trip to the museum about two years ago. It is one of my favorite vintage vacs. Great brush roll design, really good bag for the time and a powerful motor. Works great on my berber carpet and is...

Many thanks Ted, (ABCVacPlacentia), for your insightful and calming post. You speak for many of us, "old timers", that never post anymore or have left the VCCC. Prior to the current crop of posters, when this website and it's forerunner were new, it was a fun place where members exchanged...

Ditto the Olympia and Silverado but I would also consider the Super J of the vintage vacs. The current Guardian Platinum is also really incredible.

DaveVac Just out of curiosity, what is the vacuum on the floor to the far right in the 1st picture? Looks like a bagged upright but I can't identify it from the picture. Thanks!

Last night in Boston we were at a brand new property. I saw the manager this AM and told him about this thread. He was so interested he had to go look what they had and it turned out to be Karcher. I told him they were great---just keep the bags changed and check the belts about once a year...

I work for an airline and spend half of every month, (or thereabouts), in hotel rooms. In Europe they use the Henry type vacuums. I have never seen an upright or power nozzle in any European hotel. They are always cannisters. However, the carpeting is very different from US hotels. It is...

Jason, The current Guardian Platinum upright has a motor that has a much higher RPM resulting in much improved suction. The design and housing is identical other than that. The hose, tools and carrier are all the same too. It also have a new bag that is made of HEPA material similar to Kirby...

Hans, it is Bob. He is based in Washington, DC, but was in Charlotte at one time. When Betty died, the city of Charlotte all but closed down for a day out of respect for her and the funeral was huge.

Betty Feezor Now she was quite a legend in the southeast. Do you remember when she had the cooking show on TV shown in Charlotte and the surrounding areas? Her son is a work colleague of mine.

The Kenmore is sold as are most all others. Thank you.

There are several folks interested in the Kenmore. I am waiting to hear from the first person that expressed interest then I will update the status.
