@kirbyvertibles... I sent you an email through my gmail. Thank you!

Hello Everyone! About a week ago while Ebay surfing I found a red Sanitaire version of the Eureka Excalibur. My family had the green model back in the mid-1990s, and although it had its faults and certainly not the strongest suction in the world, it was unique and I wish I would've held onto...

Greetings from almost snowy Michigan! Hope everyone is well. I'm looking to trim down some Vacs from my collection. Included are a Filter Queen LD31 in very good condition. Includes gas pump style hose and original working power nozzle. An additional LD31 is included in good condition...

Thanks everyone so far! @tom, how much do those Electrolux machines cost? I often thought about one of those type scrubbers, especially after looking through old Sears catalogs and seeing both Sears and Hoover brands of those machine setups. My only reservation was residual carpet shampoo left...

Hello everyone! Just wanted everyone's 2 cents on the current upright carpet cleaners available. It seems like the mid-1990s Hoover Steam Vac, of which my family purchased one and still seems to be a popular choice, had much stiffer scrubbing brushes back then when compared to today. About a...

Congrats on that find! How did I miss that one??!! I'll never forget the day, in 3rd grade 1987, when my best friend (who knew I loved vacuums) told me his mom had just got.... a Housekeeper Plus!!! Let me tell you the first thing I did when I got off the bus that night was ask my mom permission...

I've been impressed with the Powerforce as well for their price range. My only qualm would be for better filtration. @rainbowvacfane2... could you please expand on installing the Miele filter to improve the Bissell's filtration? Or maybe post a few pics of such a setup? Would love to try on my...

Thank you! I often hear of how great the tool suction was on these machines, but when I turn the dial to tools... on high suction... and put my hand over the hose opening it feels awful weak. I will make sure to double check all accessible areas for any clogs. That's kind of why I was wondering...

Anyone care to chime in on these last few prying questions I have about the Dial-a-Matic? I appreciate each and every one of you and your time very much! What was the normal retail price for this back in the day, and was it sold in box box stores? What are the shortcomings of the design that...

Thank you again! I'm so appreciative of all your knowledge on this vac! What was the normal retail price for this back in the day, and was it sold in box box stores? What are the shortcomings of the design that some of you see that consumers would have picked up on almost immediately or maybe...

Thank you everyone so far for your responses! Love the pics! So what year(s) was my 1120 manufactured? Also, @andy, please let me know about a possible reverse helix beater bar brush roll or any other possible sources.

Thanks Andy! Makes perfect sense... I see what you mean! What type would have been installed on vac when brand new?
