    Roomba acting weird.. is it because of the dog/cat fur?

    Sounds familiar It's why I gave up on my Roomba. They can't handle long pet hair. The dog hair at our place would get wrapped around the swivelling front wheel axle within minutes of use so that the wheel wouldn't spin freely, just sort of scrape along the floor. Plus always having to tear or...

    Hoover Slimline 2017 freebie from mini meet... spa day!!

    I love the look of the Slimline but they are like pulling a brick across carpet LOL. They're not even that manouverable on hardfloors with their tiny wheels and boxy shape,, still in all it's always nice to have one in the collection.

    My Golden Jubilee.....

    They're definitely the snazziest looking Elux.. all that glitters LOL Be careful with the plastic handle on the machine etc.. keep well away from friends,, they are somewhat brittle.

    Electrolux with bilingual labels?

    Hmmm could have been for sale in Canada where most things are labelled in French/English.. at least the brochures and operating instructions that come with any appliance are come in both languages. My GE washer for example, all the dial controls are in both languages but my KitchenAid stove...

    Air Ride Celebrity

    All I can say about mine is that it is definitely much noisier than the Constellation, not good. I suppose in a way too the Connie is easier to pick up since it is taller. Of the two, I prefer a Connie.

    The word on Miele Canister Vacuums

    I've got the older full-sized Miele Allervac and while it's good vacuum I find it a little cumbersome to use compared to my older Electroluxes like the Model G and my Canadian 88/89's It just doesn't roll around on hard floors as easily and that is somewhat irksome. You definitely have to give...

    Robotic vacuums...

    I have a Roomba I bought for the toy factor as well but found out it doesn't like long pet hair at all. Our dogs are long haired and within 5 or 10 minutes of the Roomba going about its business all the wheels are jammed tight because it wraps around them, especially the little front castor. It...

    Aerus Vacuums

    The Sidekick was also produced as the Kenmore Powermate Jr. back in the 90's, identical except for the molding around the electrical connection to fit the Kenmore.

    American vs. Foreign Canisters.

    Seen a few Henry's around here,, our local Habitat Restore uses one as their store vac, they bought it new for that purpose. It's pretty quiet, not any louder than a Miele imo.

    Got a Hoover Z!

    I always sort of regret not having bought one during the seeming 5 minutes they were sold at Sears stores and then disappeared for good. Have fun Bobby.

    Dirt Devil Vision Self Propelled Upright

    Don't know much about them just seeing them on the shelves when they were new and debating if I should buy one, just because it was self-propelled fun.. but I never did.

    Hoover Convertible Model 707, newest restoration!

    Very nice find and unusual looking makes it better.. although I agree with John, to my eyes the color combo is hideous looking. I guess I'd call it the ugly duckling model LOL

    worst vacuums?

    Well since this thread got derailed big time I may as well add my two cents or tuppence. Everyone wants to be taken seriously so when you post something take the time to make sure that what you are writing is at least coherent to everyone reading it. The grammar and spelling doesn't have to be...

    You guys are rubbing off on me.... trash find!

    while not my cuppa tea either if you can get a few bucks for it, or give it to a friend to use or even donate it why not.. better than it being trashed.

    Electrolux 500 series

    Actually my model 503 is labelled Dometic-Volta It's a nice little vac. I should use it more. Here's my ancient video of it <iframe width="420" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
