    Panny Puke fest...

    You did an excellent job restoring that thing.... it looks like brand new! Those machines seem really durable and I am glad it has found a home with someone who will take care of it!

    Durabrand blender parts

    That was a brand sold exclusively by Wal-Mart... mostly bottom of the line, budget friendly stuff, no clue which Chinese company was outsourced to make it, but I'd hit thrift shops for a donor if possible.

    Link to join ?

    Robert, I don't have a problem with VCCC, but I do worry about its long term survival. I knew how awesome it is to share your passion with people in real life... the few times I was lucky enough to go to Terry's, I had a blast. I'm sure the conventions are fun, but they aren't possible for...

    Link to join ?

    Robert, I thought about that after I joined... you gave everyone a free 45 day trial and when I paid to join, that disappeared and the counter set to 365... so for other people who haven't upgraded yet, you may well want to wait... for me, I don't really care. I supported something I believe...

    Welcome to the New Vacuumland!!!!

    I found it.... yay :o) You know what.... I think I'll become a member just to support you! When it was tied in with the club, it wasn't worth it because I can never attend a convention due to pets (hiring someone to come feed 1 cat and 60 vacuums would be really expensive!) and having 2...

    Welcome to the New Vacuumland!!!!

    So we can now revive old threads? Will there be a separate membership fee for the membership and the web site and being a member of the VCCC will no longer grant access to the premium features of the web site? How much will the fee be for the web site versus the VCCC... I'm a little curious...

    Have you used a Keurig?

    I do not drink coffee, and I would never pay full price for a Keurig, but I found one sitting outside the dumpster at work and brought it home. I tried it out and it worked perfectly.... it is a model B60. The thing costs between 135 and 150 new and is still a current model, though it has been...

    favorite uses for Mothers polish

    Yes the mag polish, and I just used a microfiber cloth to apply it and buff it... great stuff :o)

    A face only a mother could love...

    Hey! That is my Cruiser picture! I think the Cruiser is one of Dirt Devils more attractive models actually! That's why I got it! I used it just the other day and it really is quite powerful. For ugly, I'd have to go with the plastic bagless vacs from all manufacturers that line the...

    favorite uses for Mothers polish

    I know a lot of us like Mothers for polishing metal vacuums, but I have discovered a few other things that it does well... I used it the other day to clear up cloudy headlights on my car. I also use it with 0000 steel wool to clean my irons when they get gunk on the bottom. Tonight, I...

    Do Dyson's Really Rip Up Carpet? Or Is It Just The Underwhelming Quality Carpets These Days?

    My DC 14 has torn a chunk out of my carpet... none of my other machines have.... the Dyson just seems hungry for carpet. I use my Dyson on the shag rug all the time, but only with the straight suction nozzle attached to the hose. That lady should have gotten a Kirby or an f and g style...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    Wow, Wayne, this is a great deal to include the box and attachments! My Dirt Devil came with the box too and I kept it.... and found a paper bag converter at a thrift shop several months ago, but didn't use it yet... Haven't been able to try this guy out yet because the bag is still drying...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    I still have it, it is up on the shelf... I didn't think it fit in with the picture with blue royals and red dirt devils :O) I polished the machine last night and it looks a lot better... I also hand washed the bag with laundry soap and it's drying now. There was dirt caked all around the...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    the collection "Matching" Royal/Dirt Devil products.... so fun! It will be interesting to compare the Royal version to the plastic Devil version... I already have belts for the hand vac so I will change that when I clean this baby up.... Here I have the plug from the DD on the Royal to make...

    Royal Prince, thrift store find :o)

    I was at a thrift store today and found a Royal Prince all metal hand vac... for 6 bucks! There were just 2 on C/L for 50 dollars for the pair and I almost considered buying them, but I'm so glad I waited. It was missing the plug, but I can find one online or use the one from the dirt devil...

    How do YOU access vacuum land?

    I use my Windows laptop to write and post, but check and read from my Samsung Galaxy Relay smart phone... I'm on my Acer Iconia Tablet right now because I'm trying to get some use out of it since I paid three hundred dollars for the silly thing. I've had it since September and might have used...

    Forget the Flexi, lets go for an ORB instead...

    The orb looks cool, but I have the Flex and I really appreciate the versatility that having the hose provides... and I do not like holding a power switch on. Of course you have to be happy with what you get so you're entitled to change your mind about what you want :o) Does the Orb come with a...

    Worst trash find I've ever seen

    It went into my spam (yet e-mails from real spammers offering to enlarge my breasts or giving me the opportunity to cash a million dollar check for someone in Nigeria come right through... good job Gmail!)... I dug it out and responded, but thank you for letting me know it was there!

    Worst trash find I've ever seen

    Jordan, send me an e-mail with your address. I threw everything away except for the upholstery tool, dusting brush, and turbo tool because I figured that I might find another machine one day that was missing those things and then I would have them. Even the extension wand was cracked! Now...
