Best bags.. I love the Miele bags.. the intensive clean with the "garage door" that comes down to seal it up as you take it out. VERY nice bags. Derreck

The Bags, the Bags, the Bags Tom Anderson: I imagine the reasons that the high end vacuum cleaners use bags and filters is very simple. Surprised you don't know. It's that they cost MONEY. At Electrolux, a box of bags is $33. The bags for the Miele also cost money, as do the bags for the Sebo...

Bagless & bagged.. Ian.. I'm not sure what other kinds of bagless vacuums you have over there, but the only thing that I know here in the US is that many companies have tried to make a bagless vacuum, and the only one I would even spend the money on is the Dyson. Dirt Devil, Eureka, Hoover...

Hoover Empower To David.. I can say from personal experience that the Hoover Empower will only clean (VERY WELL) for about 2 minutes. I own (2) Hoover V2 Windtunnels and own a Dyson DC17. The Hoover V2 Windtunnel uses the same type of dustcup as the Hoover Empower. After a few minutes, the...

Why in the world would anyone want a Hoover Empower? It's not one of Hoover's finer machines. Make sure you buy several filters. I think you should still keep looking for that Dyson. Derreck

Electrolux upright David.. I am the service manager at Electrolux in St. Louis. I can order parts for the older Electrolux uprights provided that they aren't discontinued. To get into the bottom of the machine, all you need to do is remove the 5 or 6 screws underneath. After you remove the...

Definately Miele or Rainbow Nathan.. I agree with Travis.. when it comes to allergy problems, you can't beat a Mile with it's sealed HEPA system. A Rainbow would also be ideal if you don't mind changing the water. The new Rainbow E2 combines water washed air and a HEPA filter. Electroluxes are...

Awesome Find!! Congrats Austin.. isn't it fun to find one you have been looking for for a long time! Looks like a fun machine, love the color. I'm home at my parents house now for the holidays bored out of my mind already.. hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, looking forward to...

SilveraDo CJ.. I'm not sure if you are aware, but this machine is actually called a SilveraDo. I work for Electrolux in St. Louis and I see these from time to time, but not a big fan of the specials. I would rather collect the automatic machines. Derreck

John Here is John using the ESP upright with cordaway.

Green Eurekas Here is the green set. The upright is pretty much the same machine, except is has a VibraGroomer 2.

uprights Here are the uprights together.

I thought this would be an appropriate thread to post during this time of year of my matchin set of red and green Eureka ESP uprights with the matchin powerteam canisters. The maroon canister and green upright were found on a treasure hunt that I went on this past summer with John Pease at...

Pic 2 Another shot

A couple of weeks ago I saw this Hoover listed on craigslist.com They were asking $40 for it so I emailed him an offer of $20 and he sent me an email saying that he would accept. I went this evening to pick it up. The vacuum itself is in great condition with the exception that it needs to have...

Very nice picture Tom.. Those sure are some pretty machines! I really like that Deluxe Convertible. Wish my Decade 80 had a nice decal like yours. Most of them I have seen have scratched up decals. Thanks for the pic! Derreck

My first... vacuum cleaner that I got for Christmas, if you can consider it a vacuum was a Dustbuster, one of the originals that my grandmother gave to me when I was 4 or 5 years old. This year is the first year that I got a REAL vacuum cleaner for Christmas and it was my Hoover Windtunnel 2...

Wednesdays are my regular day off and I usually go visit Tom G. at his vac shop for part of the day. I was surprised today when he presented me with an early Christmas gift, something that he had heard me mention that I want. Since I first saw the new Hoover Windtunnel 2, I knew I wanted one. I...

Lark Tom.. My Lark does have the red ball on the back with the blue cover that says "It beats, as it sweeps, as it cleans". The blue cover has bowed just a little bit and doesn't fit as tight as I would like.. but it's okay. How long did they make the Decade 80? Derreck

Decade 80 colovacman.. How funny.. I wanted a Decade 80 when I was a kid too.. I saw them in the catalogs and at the stores and I loved the color and the way it looked. I'm glad I found one. By the way.. I forgot to mention above, I love vacuuming with it the way the headlights look. They are...
