    Recent Hoover Acquisitions

I just finished the final touches on my Hoover Decade 80 a few minutes ago. It was sent to me by a vac shop owner in Pennsylvania. It...

    Thrift Store Finds!!!

    original bag The bag on this machine is in SUCH nice condition. It was however a bit dirty so I took it off of the bellows and layed it in the bathtub with some warm water and woolite and just ran my hands over the top of it and then rinsed it good. I hung it up to dry and it looks VERY nice...

    Hoover V2's

    Fred S. In the Dyson thread you had asked to see a picture of my Hoover V2. I actually have two of them, one that I bought from a friend, and another one that I took as a trade in at work. They are very similar, just seems that they are different colors. The one on the left in the picture says...

    Thrift Store Finds!!!

    model 63 bags Austin.. The model 63 is the first machine to use the C style bag. Tom has a few of the original gray style C bags, and I think the belt for it is different than a convertible belt. If you have a belt for a model 63 that would be great!! It is a very nice looking machine, I...

    Thrift Store Finds!!!

    I had a lucky day going thrift storing here today here in St. Louis. The first store I went into I found this Eureka Vactronic powerteam for $6. It doesn't however have the hose or the powernozzle, but for $6 I couldn't pass it up. It's in good condition and just needs a bit of cleanup and I...

    Hoover Floor A Matic I have the JCPenny version of the floor a matic and let me tell you, it works so great.

    Electrolux Epic 8000

    Epic 8000 differences The Renaissance and Epic 8000 are basically the same machines with a few differences. Both machines have the same motor, but the controls in the hose handle is where they made the biggest change. The Renaissance has push button electronic controls in the hose handle and...

    matching upright Fred.. I too have the matching upright to my green Eureka. I absolutely love my green canister. I got it at a vac shop here in St. Louis.. it's in excellent condition.

    Electrolux Epic 8000

    I wanted to share this picture of my amazing acquisition last week. A lady walked into my Electrolux branch and was inquiring about our new machines and after she had decided which one she wanted, she said that she needed to go home and get her machine to trade in. When she came back she asked...

    Electrolux 'Clean Sweep" granules.

    Clean sweeps available!! The clean sweeps are still being made and you should be able to get them at any Aerus/Electrolux branch and if they don't have them in stock can be ordered (part # 13153). They are however the lemon scent. I agree in that the original scent is better than the lemon and...
