    The Kirby Super Janitronic 560 LIVES! IT'S ALIVE!!!

    For cryin' out loud.. flip it over and take a pic/video. I want to see the business end of that incredible machine. Whatever the case it is in the right hands, you persevered and got the job done. Next step get busy on the computer and whip up the missing manuals and other documentation...

    This XXX (i believe) has an unusually vivid hose, what's the story?

    KIRBY SOFT GREY BELTS 500 SERIES

    It's okay.. to pre-streach a belt before installion, sounds like it would have helped.

    New BISSELL PowerGlide Pet 1305 Bagless Swivel Upright Vacuum

    Saw one today at Kmart My time was very limited. It is noticably smaller than i thought, like a slightly larger Shark Vacuum model. Should have put something it the pic for scale. The vacuum seems nicely built but my 5 year old was roaming around the isles and i had to go.

    444 CRI SOA/Green Label Certified Vacuums

    . This lengthy list works well to find odd commercial vacuum brands and models. A picture accompanys each vacuum and the CRi rating. http://www.carpet-rug.org/CRI-Testing-Programs/CRI-Seal-of-Approval-Program/Vacuums/Certified-Vacuums.aspx

    Show us your commercial/heavy duty vacuums!

    SSS! Black and white is a nice look. I have an old Sanitaire that will be repainted and it's good to see what other colors loook like.

    Sebo or Panasonic?

    Sebo Essential vs Hoover Insight . VL member KirbyloverDan, who has owned both, made a case for the similiarly designed Hoover in a previous thread. I found his arguements very compelling. *Warning* geralization ahead... Euro vacs are often reflexively assumed to be superior but in my...

    Tornado Carpetkeeper Upright Vacuum

    If it wasn't so far.. I'd certainly have a look see. 3500 miles is to far. When they are cheap i try to have a friend buy and store it for me until i return to the area, this one is too pricey to buy sight unseen.

    Sebo or Panasonic?

    You did say price is not a consideration.. with me it usually is. With that in mind did you consider the Windsor version of the Felix2, the Axcess 15? See link below. Karcher also sells a Felix among other labels no doubt. Still no where near the bewildering array of Panny copies and clones...

    Sebo or Panasonic?

    Sticking with Panasonic.. . There is the fomer TOL Panasonic to consider, the MC-UG787. I believe you can still find it new. It may be the superior vacuum, it's MSRP was very high. See link to an excellent discussion of it here on VL by vegassucks who i thank for the pic below. As i point out...

    Sebo or Panasonic?

    I agree. . Auto carpet height is a gimmick waiting to break. On the Panny it just means it is a floating head design. That basic Panasonic design comes from a number of companies, most of which are made by Tacony (as Durango mentioned): Riccar, Simplicity, CarpetPro, Powr-Flite, Fuller...

    Tornado Carpetkeeper Upright Vacuum

    I found this for sale online. I have never seen anything like it, and didn't find anything in the archives that related to this style of vacuum...so i'm posting it. There seems to have also been a Tornado Carpetkeeper that resembled a Lindhaus Healthpro, far les heavy/commercial and with...

    Danielsand, I agree with the above. I also agree with ronni and Kirby Dan.

    Parade o' Vintage Panasonics

    Pocono, . Does yours have the Jet Flo sound? The best sounding vac i have is probably a Jet Flo.. This brochure scan, from the VL archives (see link, thanks Collector2), has my mind reeling. The white Panny (MC-6100) upright rocks! Has anybody seen, used, or own(ed) one of these?[this post...

    Hoover Platinum Lightweight=]

    Hella bump.. . a musty old thread gets resurrected. I just bought a used one of these for our small city apartment because my Hoover Clean & Light wasn't cutting it on the deep rug we have. But as mentioned here this Hoover wants to clamp down somewhat so it is a bit of a fight. That said it...
