    BroilMaster Wow that's great! Now you can keep an eye on whatever you're slow roasting or doing a smoked ham/roast or a rack of ribs while your out there working on one of the Kirby's! Nice that you could still get OEM parts,you're probably better off. I've got a black BroilMaster on...

    Paul. Thanks for the info. Tomorrow I begin house sitting for some friends who have a Eureka Widepath 16" they bought new decades ago. They were going to trade it in for something new that had tools on board. I said this is a big house and this vacuum cleaner has kept these shags in great shape...

    Vibra-Groomer II with Square Ends

    Can you tell me what the difference is between Vibra Groomer and Vibra GroomerII? Of the 10 Eureka/Sanitaires I have, nine have the metal shiny chrome roller with the blue bristles encased in orange. A few of those had a rubber piece that fit over the metal end caps to cushion the rollers a...

    Eureka Imperials - 1970s & 1990s

    Paul There were a lot of companies that had an Imperial in their lineup as you mentioned. Chrysler Imperial and when I was about 8yrs. old Duncan Imperial yoyos were the one to own. We can't leave out the heavily advertised Imperial margarine spread because "it's not nice to fool Mother...

    Sanitaire Brand and Model History

    Paul Earlier in this thread eurekaprince was wondering when Sanitaires first paper bag came out. I always thought that the shake out came first and later the paper. If they started originally with paper and later shake out I would bet that that was a response to the cleaning companies or...

    Chris, Just curious, is the store at 124 M. larger than the location at 148 M? I helped a friend move his electronics/speaker repair shop after him being there 30 yrs. He also wanted to inventory everything as we moved to new place. How long did it take you to make the move? Took us 3 months...

    Would Anyone Have A Picture of..........

    Yessir! I have the 1931A which looks exactly like the AT, but has a 5.0 amp motor instead. Runs like a top.The bags on these are really nice, it's like they're lined with something. I may switch the plastic for a metal handle for a sturdier feel when pushing.

    Vintage Refrigerators - Combating Styrene Odor

    "what's that smell" I went looking last night for answers and ended up with people who completely refurbish vintage refrigerators and freezers.Lots of people doing it or want to do it. One place stock piles a plethora of oldies where you can buy them un-restored or you can have them do the...

    Bissell Cleanview Brush Head Design Flaw Advice?

    Bad design? I would suggest vacuuming out the roller area after each use using a crevice attachment. I'd keep an eye on the roller end caps where the bearings are too. Sounds like this might be a high maintenance vacuum cleaner at least the roller. That's crazy having to replace the skid plate...

    Bissell introduces a literal steam cleaner for carpets

    Limited 5 year warranty I like that! You have the option of renting the cleaner before buying to see if it's what you need and like. My Bissell pro heat did produce steam with the on board heat switched on. That plus my hot water heater switched up to 140F for filling the machine. After two...
