    A good looking place to pick up vacs

    Aweful I stopped in and could not believe the junk, most of it looked like it was picked right from the trash pile. The pictures defiantly lie, there was about 30 vacs and of the 30 maybe 5 were worth what they were asking for them. The other 25 were way over priced an they were not willing to...

    A good looking place to pick up vacs

    I think that I am going to have to do an all out scouting mission when I get there, I am also going to have to make sure I have lots of cash, and make sure that I drive the Jeep so I have space.

    Does anyone know which company would be affiliated with Werington? We had a new vacuum come into the office today that looks like a Convertible or an F&G style vacuum, it is very nice and has a ton of power, with the bag in the back and a metal handle that also has a hide-away hose in it. The...

    First Impressions can be wrong

    I while back I bought a Shark Navigator and immediately loved it. well after using it for about 3 weeks I now hate it.
