    Your thoughts

    The glass horse heads are kinda neat-nut will not collect those.Since my house fire I am not in the mood to collect much of anything.Just a few vacuums,guns,and basic hi-fi gear.Thats it!

    New Kirby model !!

    I don't worry about carbon dust from brushed universal and rectified PM motors in appliances.These don't run continously so the dust isn't a problem.In your household you are sorrounded by appliances that have brush motors.No need to worry.

    Dream machine acquired - Riccar Tandem Air

    I used to have a few of these tandem air vacuums in my collection-including the canister that had the fan assisted powernozzle.At this point feel the Kirby Avalir machines are actually better and draw less power.When I ran the tandem airs I used to have the cards got warm!The Kirbys and the...

    my regina Housekeeper

    Why would you pay high dollar for such a crappy vacuum?NOT "collectable" to me.Guess to some these can be collectable since so many of them that died ended up in the landfill.There are so many other better vacuums out there than the Housekeeper.

    my regina Housekeeper

    These "Houskeeper" vacs are another example of a "dumpster vac"When it dies-you buy another one or a better brand vacuum.Seen so many of these spend the last part of their lives in the dumpster.These ARE NOT intended for commercial use-just household use only.

    opinion on this kirby attachment.

    Kirby now warns you in the owners book for the Avalir series vacuums NOT to use the inflator attachment for more than a few minutes at a time.The backpressure it makes will overheat the plastic fans.Also if you let the bag get too full and continue to run the vacuum.The vac shop here has a...

    New Maytag Satellite/Hoover Constellation with UK plug **HELP**

    I have a step up-step down transformer for 120 or 240v 2200W You can use it on 15A if you don't pull more than 1800W.I use mine for a 1000W MH lamp fixture whose ballast primary is 240V.Works just fine.And of course you can use it the other way to step 240V to 120V.
