    Samsung canister vac

    Just dragging out old pictures. Never see many of these Samsung vacs around. This is a great vacuum clone of a Miele in everyway but the shape of the body. It's powerful and quiet with the sliding power switch just like on my Miele either side of the two buttons. Even better though is it's tiny...

    My Kirby Classic Omega

    Here's a pic of my Kirby Classic Omega that I'm half thinking of selling sometime in the future. The pic doesn't do it justice, it's in beautiful condition, there's a light layer of dust I should have removed and the hose and attachments are boxed away. I'm just not sure that I want to part...

    Weekend estate sale find!!! FILTER QUEEN!!

    Great deal for 15 bucks. Not much outsucks a FQ when Davy was using his gauge on all the different brands. My sis had one years ago, doubtful they got it new, very doubtful,  but she gave it away and regrets it.. My next door neighbor gave his away as well quite a few years ago he says.. and...

    Hoover and Eureka finds...

    And it's got daisies on it... I can't recall ever seeing one with that tool caddy either. I've got the plain limey green model and I love the design of them but they're it's like tugging a brick across thick carpet.

    National footstool vacuum...

    Found a vintage Hoover Junior 118

    Al.. as it is now it has a bottom fill paper bag. It does say "Made In Canada" however back then that could have meant the same thing as todays "Assembled in Canada" since all those labelling rules/regs have changed over the years and continue to change.

    Found a vintage Hoover Junior 118

    Found this the other day at the local Habitat Restore.. It's a Canadian made model 118. Haven't tried it out yet nor given it a clean, plenty of cobwebs underneath and a lot of the brush bristles are long gone.. anyways.. what year do you figure,, mid to late 40's? Wonder also abut that big...

    Elux-o-matic 89

    Not really much, you're certainly not going to be taking a Caribean Cruise on a windfall, perhaps enough for the gas to drive to Bowden and back. Look at it this way,, they still pop up here and there at thrift stores throughout Canada for around $15-30. If any "collector" on here really wants...

    Nothing demands high heels and pearls more than those.

    LOL

    Bottom line is they are saying that for about 1/2 the price of an efficient vacuum you can buy the Vacuette.  However it does not say that the Vacuette is actually as efficient as the more expensive vacuum but it comes across that way just by the wording.. So in other words even if it isn't as...

    Eureka Self-Proplelled ESP 5060 F

    Nice find, They're really nice vacs, fun to use. I think the self propelling also works a little smoother than it does on my Hoovers

    Hypothetical advice for Consumer Reports

    I think it's a little too much to ask for follow ups on pedestrian household items like vacuums. By time they could accomplish it that the model or some of the 40 others tested would be off the market and replaced by something else, which then would need follow ups and on and on and on.. And...

    Hypothetical advice for Consumer Reports

    Well they do rate a lot of those things bundled into the column "ease of use". They're not always called out specifically in the report unless some particular machine has a glaring issue that a lot of people would find objectionable. Not sure but I think they go into more detail on their website...

    Panasonic 80's?

    My fave "modern" vac lineup.. that's a mc6230 upright in the top ad. . Heres mine.. maybe time to dig it out again for a go. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Hypothetical advice for Consumer Reports

    Sandy I agree with you on that about the condensed articles but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that all the manufacturers keep pumping out new models so frequently compared to in the past when their model lineups were less and it might take a few years before they made any drastic...
