    I think I’m sticking to bagged

    I would never put a bagless changer kit thing on my Kirby. I totally hate bagless vacuums! Well I wouldn't mind a cloth shake bag but I hate vacuums with a plastic dirt container. And no offense to the rainbow people here but emptying a plastic dirt canister full of both dirt and water is pretty...

    How do you clean a kirby?

    Can someone tell me how to clean my Kirby? I got some chrome polish but as you can see in the pic it didn't do anything really. I was totally disappointed. What do I need to use to make it shine again?

    prewar hoovers

    Those are beautiful. They look new. I didn't realize how big hoover vacuums were back then.

    My eureka princess.

    This is my eureka princess. Model 730. I have no idea how old it actually is but I know it's old. My boyfriend's grandma gave it to us and her mom had given it to her. It still works well though. This was the only vacuum we had for a while when we first moved into our house. It's loud for a...

    That's a very cool looking vacuum. Does it have wheels?

    What is the worst vacuum from the past 20-ish years?

    Rivstg1 Thanks. But I realized I didn't mention anything about the sharks cleaning ability. It does have strong suction and it does a pretty good job on carpeting. The first time I vacuumed my house with it I had to empty the dirt canister 4 times before I got the whole house done. But the main...

    Any love for Vorwerk VK117 and ET-30 powerhead?

    What a weird but very cool looking vacuum. I've never heard of vorwerk. What year did they make them? I'm assuming it's some euro brand?

    Extraordinary weekend... and some beautiful vacuums, too!

    That Kirby is totally awesome! And what cool attachments. The Electrolux vacuums aren't my thing but they are beautiful too. Man, I can't imagine dragging those things around on runners. They look really heavy.

    I think I’m sticking to bagged

    What do you guys think about the bagless kirbys? I've seen the bagless conversion kits for Kirby vacuums. I think those things are awful. For one thing a Kirby looks totally stupid with that bagless thing on it. When I got my Kirby, the fact it uses bags was a big plus to me. I got so sick of...

    What is the worst vacuum from the past 20-ish years?

    Shark lift away Shark vacuums are really popular right now but they aren't great. I have the shark rotator lift away. My mom gave it to me for Christmas last year. They are cheaply made for one thing. They are heavy considering they are all plastic and the vacuum body is so clunky it won't even...

    Favorite Straight Suction Vacuum made?

    I don't use the eureka anymore really. My boyfriend uses it to vacuum the cars but that's about it. I have a Kirby now that I love. I use the hose and attachments on it for vacuuming the upholstery and above the floor stuff. I did buy a turbo nozzle for my eureka but it was useless. Once I would...

    Favorite Straight Suction Vacuum made?

    I don't like straight suction canisters for vacuuming carpeting. When my boyfriend and I first moved into our house his grandma gave us an old eureka princess. It was the only vacuum we had at the time so I used it to vacuum a house full of wall to wall carpet. The eureka only has the straight...
