Getting ready to start making Thanksgiving dinner. As I have gotten older I find myself going back in time to when I was a kid.I have been collecting vintage appliances for a while now. These are the ones that will be used to make my dinner. Mom's 1950 Westinghouse roaster oven Nesco oval...

sunbeam Thanks everyone.

Sunbeam I have a K/A too,but I prefer Sunbeam. I like my 12C,but my go to is still my mm100 and mm200. So any ideas on that aqua anyone?

I found a Sunbeam 12 on ebay in aqua.I thought 12's only came in pink,white ,turquoise ,yellow, and chrome. Is this really a color or is it a faded out turquoise? It looks a light green. Any ideas?

Stick vac I had all the old ones,Regina,Hoover,GE,even Sunbeam. None of them lasted. I bought a hoover like you are looking at at an estate sale. I tried it there and it ran well. Brought it home somehow it would pick up the dirt and then send it flying across the room through the motor vents...

I have always been impressed with the GE slimline upright in today's vac of the day.Can anyone tell me how well they work,price at the time, and how long were they around? Seemed like such a wonderful machine.Would like a vac like that today.

Hoover tools Just received my Hoover tool set. Hooked them up and did my living room furniture.I must say they worked better then I expected. Very well made ,long hose, steel wand, sturdy tools. The suction is not like my Kirby or Filter Queen but, for a 1 speed upright it does quite well. I...

hoover tools Thank you so much for the help. Not sure if I should get them as they most likely won't work very well. I have an old Filter Queen with fantastic suction. but it is very heavy and clumsy to use. I have a Kirby too, but putting on the hose is very tough since I had a couple of...

I recently inherited a Hoover Convertible model U 4171.It is low end model one speed no grip,half bumper,short cord, but it works great! I would like to get a tool set for it. What number tool set does this take? It is the front conversion It is only 4.3 motor,but it lifts the carpet right off...

Toasters I agree,do old school. I have worked in a dept store for 12 years and today's toasters and ovens are worthless. I purchased a Sunbeam Vista self lowering toaster years ago at a thrift store.It's beautiful and makes perfect toast every time. It is circa 1962.Sunbeam made that toaster...

Sunbeam For years I worked at a store that sold only Sunbeam vacs. Had them until they dropped the line, then went to Eureka and then Hoover. We sold a lot of Sunbeams, mainly canisters and stick vacs. They were well made and easy to use. The Challenger replaced the suitcase style Courier...

Iron We had the GE version too,lasted forever. I was just a little kid when we went to the store to buy it. When I was 18, I bought my mom a new Sunbeam, she was thrilled. She kept that old GE as a spare,since she ironed every Monday night, after washing all day. Those were the...

Mixmasters I have the last model of the infinite speed hand mixer, it was the same but added the burst of power feature. Great mixer, bought it on ebay, new in box,love it.Works way better then my new Kitchen Aid hand mixer.This model was also sold with a stand and a large bowl. This did not...

Hoover I was in high school when we got our 1020 Brady Hoover. Great machine. I recall how it vibrated the dirt out of our thick green living room carpet. We lived on a farm and a lot of dirt drifted into the house. The biggest treat was the throw a way bag. Our old GE upright was horrible to...

GE The GE is my dream vac. If anyone ever has one in running condition and the deluxe attachments let me know.

Kenmore If the bag and the motor are in the bottom,what is in the top section?It looks like the bag goes right up against the nozzle,how does the suction get to the hose?

DAM My DAM was my first vac I owned, and still is my favorite. I wish I would have kept it and just kept getting it fixed. It broke down twice so I traded it in for my first Kirby. The best thing about the DAM was it was so easy to use with the hose, and it had suction.Plus, you could pull it...

Eureka How did it walk by itself? Was it selfpropelled like a Hoover?

Thanksgiving I've always wondered why the first Dial a Matic had a floating head and the later models had the rug adjustment on the front. Enlighten me..............

In vac if the day, the Singer golden glide stated there is no pulling or tugging. How did it follow you around?
