    Parade o' Vintage Panasonics

    Nothing too special except i have never seen this color before. It has the old, "Jet-Flo" body style but the color of the machine after they updated it. I found this on Craig's, in Reading PA, if you live in the area. Post yer Pannys and win a prize!

    My New Sanitaire S675 With Its Older Cousin, Kirby

    Great vacuum! Yes it is a very good price for a new one. Is yours an ST disposable bag model with a double zipper outter bag? That's the newest i am aware of. I have found the Red Line Sanitaires discounted online but never the Blue Line, nice buy.

    Horror stories!

    As i recall.. The company who makes Kirby vacuum among many other products and services, Scott Fetzer -which itself is now part of the Warren Buffett mega conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway -sells it's products only to the authorized dealers who are independent distribution entities who no doubt...

    Your biggest basket-case vacuum resto/rebuild turn arounds

    Holy cow... some great replies already. First, I now have 2 motorcycles down from my all time high of four just 2 or 3 years ago. I've often trolled craigslist looking for Rovers and I read about them often on this great website I recommend highly and will link to below. Metal Hoover saved...

    Your biggest basket-case vacuum resto/rebuild turn arounds

    Post a link if you already made a thread of the vacuum you worked on. Like the Desmond Dekker song says: Rome was not built in a day Opposition will come your way But the hotter the battle you see Is the sweeter the victory now Diving in and scouring away ages of filth on a vacuum that also...

    Getting a free Kirby tomorrow!

    The admin(s) move/delete threads but no doubt haven't noticed yet. It's a minor point anyway. Edit: I just noticed that when you post a link one of last options (new vac, vintage vac, or ebay etc.) is to suggest such an edit to the admins.[this post was last edited: 1/27/2015-11:34]

    My Extensive Collection Part 8

    It's a great color.. There is also a blue color Hoover has, that got me to buy the same model Hoover vacuum as the red I already had. I absolutely would not have bought it otherwise, as I have too many vacs already, and the price was good but not great. But that blue is nearly as glorious as...

    New BISSELL PowerGlide Pet 1305 Bagless Swivel Upright Vacuum

    Shark Cyclones On the purple navigator model I had the cyclone assembly was meant to be removed and cleaned. Easily done, I soaked it in a bucket and used lots of water to rise. Copious amounts of mud was my reward.

    Getting a free Kirby tomorrow!

    Yee ha! That machine came out really nice, sounds great too. For Admin- Not to be too OCD or anything but now that we know the vintage of the machine shouldn't this thread be moved? Is the entire G Series even 20 years old yet? Or am i confussed again, that happens sometimes..

    Eureka-Electrolux Sanitare commercial

    $250? . Salesman of the year award material! Or a typo, let us know. Whatever the case we're on the same page, saving vacuums from the landfill is good times. Glad to hear of your already many successes.

    New TOL Bissell Anna 1422 Hybrid Power Bagless Upright Vacuum

    Yes! The 1305 looks very much like a Hoover, not accidently i would think.

    New TOL Bissell Anna 1422 Hybrid Power Bagless Upright Vacuum

    Dan, . first, you never pay list if i understand your posts correctly. Next, hybrid power is an interesting development, especially if the battery could be removed to lighten the machine, i doubt it can be however. Lastly, this machine, appearance wise, is a quantum leap forward for Bissell...

    New BISSELL PowerGlide Pet 1305 Bagless Swivel Upright Vacuum

    . See video at bottom link. Appears to be pretty good for this class of vacuum. I really like swivel, and it's looks much better than most Bissells i have seen. Let us know if you have used one.. From the Bissell Website: Edge-to-edge suction for an even better clean. Some vacuums only use...

    New TOL Bissell Anna 1422 Hybrid Power Bagless Upright Vacuum

    . Well well what do we have here, something new from Bissell. This combines lift-off and hyrid power (battery and cord). I like the Bissell/Oreck (Sanitaire style) commercial vacs and their green color schemes. So i was poking around and found this. Has anyone here seen one in person yet? I have...

    *New* Hamilton Beach Vacuums

    i should ad.. the shop vac looking model is actually an ash vacuum. I have opened the door to bagless plasti-vacs, and Dirt Devils. But not both at the same time thank you.. So of course I have the DD Cruiser, a crazier vacuum you will not find. But a guitar made from a Dirt Devil? Now i'm...
