    Sanitronic Style Nozzle for my Heritage II

    Well... I think the small head is a nice choice. It's been quite a long time since I have used a Heritage w/ the smaller nozzle, but as I recall they are easier to push & navigate around furniture than the standard head.

    Finally got a direct drive!

    Bag Chamber "Vents" Bobby I have the similar design non-direct drive upright in Sunflower yellow. The bag chamber vents are Kenmore's Power-Flow dual chamber design. It's supposed to keep airflow around the bag to maintian suction as the bag fills. Oh & BTW that's a great find & thanx for...

    Singer Simon

    Hey guys, I just found a Singer Simon while out thrifting today!Seems to be in good shape & fairly clean, although a spa treatment it shall have. I have always thought these looked like clever lil vacs. I seem to remember as a kid that they were available in various colors. I also remember a...

    Hoover Windtunnel Air

    Durability & Other Issues I have been using mine now for 2 months.Haven't had any issues with the durability of the plastics so far. I don't like the dusting/crevice tool combo, however I have other vacs in my fleet better suited for that. For $50 I feel like it's a great vac & in comparison...

    Hoover Windtunnel Air

    I agree David, I am also very happy with how lightweight it is & quiet! It's so easy to grab and go thru the house. My other vacs have been sitting idle since I received this one.

    Hoover Windtunnel Air

    So, I know some of you were going to buy the remanufactured Hoover Windtunnel Air that was on sale right before Christmas on the Hoover website. Well, I got one & I really like it. When Wal-Mart carried them, I always wanted one, but I wouldn't bring myself to spend the full asking price...

    Eureka Mobile Aire

    I found this exact vac for sale for $15.99 in really good shape. It does have a couple of the accessory tools missing however. It still has the cardboard tool caddy with it. Thoughts??

    The big bad beast, aka Big bertha!

    Thanks for sharing "Big Bertha" with us! I remember a friend of my grandmothers had one of these when I was very little. I have always been curious about this Lux. Especially like the dual spoke handle. Never have seen one in person since though. Glad to see the insides. I wondered how it was...

    Dog smell schooled my HEPA filter

    I agree with Sandy... Nothing like the satisfaction of finding a well used dirty vac & taking it apart & cleaning it to make it like new again! It's always a thrill for me to return something so dirty sometimes to like new condition.

    i have a devastating kenmore issue. need some help

    I second the JB Weld idea I used JB Weld recently for the first time to fix a Regina that cracked horribly like yours. It worked perfectly! Give it a try, it's worth a shot.

    1984

    I just recently acquired a similar canister model. Mine is not the power handle model. It has the power switch & cord rewind pedal on the rear of the canister.Complete with all tools & a non-splitting hose all for $2.99. I was ecstatic to find this model since this was the identical machine that...

    DYSON AIRMUSCLE DC 28

    Nice! I have been drooling over this model evertime I am at Target. I wonder how it perfoms compared to my DC14. I would suspect with the better brushroll & Airmuscle feature it must clean very well.

    I want to know what was the first Electrolux model 2100 color?

    Thanks for the info Jimmy. I thought that mine was maybe an "oddball" of some sort. Makes sense that it was sold at Sam's Club. I vaguely remember Elux at Sam's when I was a kid.

    Kirby Heritage find

    Nice find Samuel! Awesome looking Heritage. I have always loved the red bag on this model. I recall using one of these years ago with the small head & it was easier to push/navigate than the large nozzle.

    I just got one recently too... Mine is a special edition model. Inside the bag door it says it's a High Tech 2100 Colors are burgundy/sandstone I guess. Don't have pic yet, waitin til I get her thru the spa treatment. Also need to find a new hose for it as the one with it is the original &...

    Oreck American Heritage

    Saw them at Big Lots here too Our Big Lots store here just reopened a couple of weeks ago in a much larger location. Went to check it out & noticed that they had a lot of these reconditioned models in stock. I wonder if these were some of the machines people returned on the 30 day gurantee that...
