My bathroom is from 1950 with a 1988 refresh. My shower is just a single showerhead. I have had dozens of those multi-function rotate showerheads with all the crazy settings but I only ever used the single shower setting. They also get corroded and calcified and jam up. I found a vintage single...

...and when the world needed him most, he appeared.

I have the Eureka Powerspeed With Suctionseal (yes thats its real name), and it has a retractable cord reel on it. The cord is very generous and I never had any issues with it. The vacuum itself is also very good and I used it heavily cleaning the house through 2016 and 2017. The foot-press...

I do not have a DC25 but I have a DC24. The lower axle that the wheels are on says "PP"and a recycling symbol. The red handle where you put your foot on, I cannot tell what that says, it's obscured. The upper part of the hinged area immediately above the red handle that is grey and also looks...

Sorry posted the wrong photo, this nozzle would pair with the Outlaw backpack vac.

That's just a nozzle that connects to a larger vacuum system that you tote around. The seller doesn't know what it is and they do not have the rest of the unit.

This the one? The hose is wrong too - from a Kirby isn't it? I have gotten many vacuums that come with attachments and addons from other vacuums, it fluffs up my parts cupboard and always love getting them. Later on when I get the vacuum those tools go to, it makes a complete set. A few years...

One of these 1980s solariums, with a tub like Alex's inside it, and I'm sold. I'll never leave. lol

You can, and they do have HEPA filters and bags. The issue is they have no power nozzle. They have a turbo tool on some older models for upholstery I think. If you can find a powered central vacuum head, they have connection adapters that might allow you to connect it to the hose. The main...

Wow! Nice find! I got one of these a few years ago. Mine has a yellow cord. Not sure if the cord was replaced or it's a different model. I believe these are a close relative of Sebo.

Yeah these are more for construction-based jobs. Dust capture standards and stuff. Plus they can pick up water. I think Mighty Mite would be a portable vacuum for the home, but not construction-related work. And then the Rigid shop vacs would be for when working on projects, connecting them to...

It has a locking mechanism within the hinge assembly along the wheel that will raise and lower along the ball. It's a big red lever that is supposed to lock in place. You push on it to lower the vacuum for cleaning. The hinge spring part likes to wear out and causes the mechanism to fail. Mine...

Great job on the chart! You've got a real talent for disseminating this information and making it cohesive and easy to understand! Once you start grouping these models all out in a timeline and in chronological order like that, they start making more sense.

Congrats!

I have seen bags come up off and on. If I remember right it has a bag collar similar to a Royal, that twist lock fitting. But on this one it slips on inside the channel, and not outside. Other hand vacs might have the same diameter. I know just a year or two ago I think someone had a bag for...

I'd love to just see a Eureka from 8 years ago at this point. It's bad out here. Luckily the re has been some reasonable deals on eBay at least so I'm not totally cooked yet.

And in addition to Tom's comment, I would like to say - make sure you use a non-tacky grease that will not attract dust and dirt.

Nah they are just kids being tryhards trying to fit in. Nothing more to it than that. Everyone wants to be "the chosen one that finds "ultra rare content". It's nice they are competing with each other and are saving this stuff, but their personalities and conversation skills are extremely...

Vacuum cleaners in thrift stores, especially vintage ones, will rely heavily on there being used vacuum stores in the area. My city lost all the mom and pop vacuum stores. Immediately after that happened, the vacuums that appear in Goodwill vanished within weeks to months. I have not seen a...

Bleach eats rubber seals and gaskets, erodes and weakens some plastics, and it will irritate your skin in large amounts. I wouldn't use it. I believe I used Fabuloso many times to de-mold my washing machine when it had mold buildup. It foamed insane amounts and made a mess with soap suds, but...
