It may sound simple, but who knows more about REALLY russian-made vacuums? Of course, by today, most of the machines over there are Western made and are more or less of the same unglorious galore that we can find in our dept. stores all over the Western world. I DO remember this one video...

a good piece of our tradition Leslie, the weight is due to the development of the vacuum market here (and your Quickstep is just a 110v version of the regular Miele stick vac back then here). From the 50s to 80s/90s, the stick vacs here were full counterparts of canister vacuums (the...

not really "do" iron, but I rediscovered it Last year I acquired a rotary iron by AEG just in order to get my line of 60ish Lavamat frontloaders complete. It had been standing there unused until last December. That was when I got it out to do some kitchen towels and drapes. Pure FUN, I love...

or to put it short I WILL get the H3060 in 230 volts by Hoover with a Hoover badge, along with all the tools or I will get none. Period. (I have taken the freedom of choosing this fate). It WILL be finding its new way home (to a good and caring home, I promise). ;-))

perhaps There is some Lavor website, but to be honest, it must be the Hoover for me. Even the British "VAX" wouldn't do, though it is a Hoover, just rebadged. I have got that old 70s Senior upright of the Shake-N-Vac commercial (in its original MUSTARD greenish/yellowish glory and wih its...

correct, no tools hi Erik, thanks so much for the offer, but I have to decline I'm afraid. Although Germany has no Floormates, several other countries around do have them. (My sister lives close to France, so some nice "lavage/brossage en aspirant" (washing/scrubbing while vacuuming) might...

nice to see a thread bringing up the Floor-Mate have been searching the web for one of those, but apart from some very rare and overpriced auctions far away in the UK not willing to ship continentally I could not find anything on that unit locally. I am positive that there are some (rare) 230...

terrific! thanks for sharing these pictures, you did a marvellous job. Just recently there has been a Siemens of this kind on ebay (see link) with a white "bucket" I did not know the container base came in polished metal as well. You even have the blower and sprayer attachment! (Nor did I know...

Wow! Looks even better than the original! Great. Finally a decent version. Dark colours matching that perfect ribbed transparent lamp glass. Way better than the original baby blue (ever seen a tough pick-up truck in pink? nah...) or better than that faint 70s-bathroom green (ever seen an SUV as...

mailed you Thanks Robert, please check your inbox. Joe

saugeil! I would like it so much. But would you ship it here? Not if it is too much of a hassle. Such a cool machine! Joe

duh! so new! natarajan, I guess your contribution is close to the verge of spam, isn't it? Nothing Kirby, nothing new. Just some generic bla like "blue sky means good weather, grey sky means there are clouds". Fantastic. Let alone this web adress having a .biz ending.... *rolling my eyes in...

thanks guys! This is really a lot of information. I will try washing them both, alternatively try to get new ones (which is hard here, the distributors are all off, out, away, so VT is at its cardiac attack in Germany). We used to have a couple of dozens in the 80s and 90s, but ACH! so long...

yes it does ..and like a Compact, like an XR and even like a Patriot. Any suggestions about cleaning the filters anyone?

thought I'd share this baby with you. Snatched it from ebay for some ridiculous 30 bucks plus P&P. Seems hardly used at all (or well cleaned). The "pull" is tremendous as is the vibration and groom of the PN. The mini tools haven't seen any surface yet. Here is my question: The only drawback...

analysis and text composition? not even an E or F grade.... If you want to convince people, you never start with "a, b, c versus d" and follow up with "a bad, b bad and c bad as well - now go and love d" The worst presentation style I have ever seen (no matter what vacuum brand one might be...

very neat indeed Personally, I fell in love with it right away. Such an neat contraption, a long hose to do all the jobs. Still, there are 2 points that I cannot get cleared: What about the noise? You still have that vacuum unit around. What about different rooms? This way you still need to...

more info hey there, you might be able to find more on Progress on my friends website (see link). Unfortunately, he has completely withdrawn from the vac community. Hope this might help you. Regards, Joe http://www.staubsauger-progress.de/

hyvää päivää or even "hoi" (correct or wrong?) hey Markus, after more than 8 years I have finally managed to buy a used Volta U 203 compact vacuum "Formula" series with top fill filter bag. Unfortunately, the unit comes without original attachments. Can you please tell me which ones are the...

I absolutely agree "...made of the right stuff" Judging from that profile pic of yours I would never have guessed that you might take your products seriously or like some posts above that you might be squeezing some tears over "good old friends". Hut ab! (=hats off, a German saying used to...
