With a great appreciation, I am posting this thread, to thank my dearest friend Mrs. Avis Gillman, from Bedfordview, who has given me something I have only heard off in history. A Swis green Kartell (Made in Italy) Rug/Carpet beater. It is made of a durable material, stronger than the usual...

Awesome find. Visiting a thrift shop, I have not been to in a while, I found this Hitachi CV-145. At first I only found the machine, however after a search, the bag of accessories also made it's appearance. I was over the moon. It was complete and original. Even the Cord was 100% original...

WOW- Mazeltov on your find of the Progress Mercedes. In South-Africa they were commonly used in households from the early 70's. WOW that was something I have thought about quite resently, and thought that I would never see one again. Over the years I owned 2 of them, hence the availability...

Please Do. Dear Adrian- Yes, collecting vacuum cleaners has many aspects to it, history, development, improvements, stories, sentimental values, colours of fashions, etc. Very very nostalgic. Call me a fool for nostalgia........ Please enlighten us with what was available on your end of the...

Congratulations- WOW wow and ....... Speechless. Congratulations on the Junior, it appears brand new, that is truly a gem.

Well Done- Well guys looks like the new generation has risen to follow in our steps. At 15 I remember taking vacuum cleaners apart until early in the morning hours, cleaning and re assembling them. Looks like a great job done. What does the motor compartment look like? Cosmetically it...

Dustin- HAHAHA Could not agree with you more. Why run around causing exhaustion getting all geared up, before sending it to the warm place. Just give it a hard thorough whack two or 3 if you really feel like becoming revengeful. Adrian

Well Done James- Whilst the rest of us want to see blood, arms, legs taken off by the dirty fan machine, we had totally forgotten about the Rainbow, Drown them. HAHAHAHAHAHAH Adrian

HAHAHAHA Such Subject about nothing really. Here in South-Africa we are currently experienceing, rather warm wheather, which has the tendancy to become hovered prior to rains. During this time before rain, we find that no matter how clean and hygenic your surrounding is, there will be a fly or...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA James and Marcus, It certainly has its pro's and cons. I have an adorable little miniature duschund who is so inquisitive at anything moving. A wasp tackled her and her little head swelled up twice it size. To me she is my child and goes to work with me, and travel where I...

Well Done- Anthony, By looking at your photo's, I find it rather interesting. A G5 Kirby, well you made it earn the money spent. personally I would not line up one of my Kirby's for such an exercise, but I have to say you did a remarkable job. Here in South-Africa we tend to have much dust...

Thanks Ralph- Dear Ralph- Knowledgeable you are dear friend, and has called a few points that has made sense and I definitely will try. As far as collecting the old models 1940's onward go, I study the history the designing diagrams, developments and strengths and weaknesses. That is...

Thanks Ralph- Thanks for the url thread to Bissell. I have expedited that option already, and found that the big green clean machine in question, was sold by the Verimark Pty Ltd group, at the time. Since then the TEVO group took over the Bissell range and stock no parts, nor service on the...

Well Said John- That saying brings back many memories, yes as I refer to my late gran, She use to paint a picture with words in the same diagram. What she also added was that Culture, Class and decency can not be purchased, nor the person you are. It an not be taken like a tablet or pill with...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA You guys really have a great sense of humour, a bit of a chilly undertone, but hey, reading through the threads above, 10/10 for giving the rest of us a good laugh and contributing to the entertainment factor. Each one of you have a valid point, and the way you protect your...

Thank You guys for your insight. I am trembling when making another statement on dates, as I do not lnow what I am talking about, hence, the water filtration system was a package you could purchase from Verimark, at the end of the range, probably south-African patent, yet again on speculation...

Hey there Guys. In an attempt to help an elderly lady from church, I gave her a WAP Aero wet n dry Vacuum cleaner, for this big green clean machine. Her brother took it apart, and when assembled again, he found that there were parts he forgot to put back. HAHAHAHAHA I know the feeling thus...

What an interesting vacuum cleaner Here in South- Africa, we were more familiar with the small sunbeam canister vac's. They were sold in the category of the toshiba's, sanyo, hitachi's and then of course the sunbeam. Although all from Japan they were very similar in many ways, but earned...

Congratulations Wow, what a nice machine, firstly as it is a Hoover, and secondly that Hoover green, well speaks for itself. What is the wattage on the machine? Many Thanks Adrian
