    I live in the US 🇺🇸, is it possible to buy a vintage vacuum from eBay UK🇬🇧?

    You may want to consider using a mail forwarding service. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I have bought several vacuums from the UK using both eBay.co.uk and Amazon.co.uk, and I can tell you from experience that there are many sellers in the UK who will only ship vacuums to...

    Question about Miele S7 Series Uprights

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I've got a question about the Miele S7210 Twist upright vacuum cleaner.  Recently, I purchased one from a seller on eBay.  Only after I purchased it did I realize that this model isn't equipped with the LED headlight -- which is something that I...

    Commercial/industrial vacuums.

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I have a Sanitaire S677 upright; a Windsor Sensor SR12 upright; a Nilfisk canister which I want to say is a GM80 (?), and a Tennant 3400 canister.  I previously had a Lindhaus-made Kent Duravac upright, but donated it to a local thrift store...

    Attention Percolator Collectors!

    You NAILED it, my friend! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Edgar,</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Thanks for your reply!  When I read it, I thought to myself "Duh!  Why didn't you think of that?"  And then, I decided to check it out.  Made a...

    Strictly upright or strictly canister?

    I like them both. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And, as someone else said previously, it all depends on what I have to clean.  If I'm only doing my rugs, it's a pretty safe bet that I'm going to grab an upright rather than bother with setting up one of the canisters...

    RE: Funnynet1231

    What Huskyvacs said about society is so true. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I'll give you two perfect examples: both of them are SEBO machines.  The first one that I have, a Windsor Sensor SR12 made by SEBO, was purchased by me for $6 from a thrift store in North Tonawanda...

    Attention Percolator Collectors!

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I'm hoping that one of you can possibly help me.  During this past week while out thrifting in a few of my favorite stores, I found an unusual cordless programmable percolator called the Dazey Perk Up Plus.  It consists of a 12-cup percolator...

    I need some washing machine advice

    SPEED QUEEN! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I just replaced a POS Samsung top-load HE washer myself.  The thing was no more than around 3 years old and had failure after failure.  We were throwing good money after bad on fixing that silly machine!</span>   <span...

    HUGE Vacuum Palooza Sale

    Tom, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Sorry to hear about the Duo-Power.  Saw it in one of the pictures so naturally thought it was a sale item: because of its provenance, I can certainly understand why it's not available, though!  Anyway, the only person I can think of who I...

    HUGE Vacuum Palooza Sale

    Even though the sale is over ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... I'm curious to know if you still have a couple of machines you showed still available.  I'm interested in the Eureka Emperor 1212 and the Kenmore Duo-Power.  Are they still available?</span>   <span...

    Hoover Powermax! The good 'ol 90's

    I found one of those myself! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Need to find some additional parts for mine, such as the wands and hose, and maybe a new agitator -- but otherwise beautiful shape!  And all for the princely sum of $4.99.  Will post a pic sometime soon.</span>  ...

    Might I come? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">That is, of course, providing that my schedule will allow?  It's been so long since I've seen you last -- would love to see you again, and would love to meet your new kitty too!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet...

    Tell what you think about these Bissell and Clarke uprights

    @joerwheeler ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Would the Italian brand you're referring to have been Lindhaus, by any chance?  I'm aware of a scruuber-vac that they sell: I think it's called the "Lindwash" or something like that.</span>   <span style="font-family...

    Dirt Devil on As Time Goes By

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I remember the Dirt Devil, but I don't remember ever seeing a Turbopower on As Time Goes By -- or any other Hoover model, for that matter!  The only other vacuum that I remember seeing on the show was this Electrolux Powersystem upright that...

    Has anyone seen or used this?

    SPT ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... is a Chinese company known also as SunPenTown.  I have seen many of their appliances such as induction cooktops on eBay.  I know nothing more about the company, and as such would be quite leery of their products.  Just my nickel's...
