Wondering if pre Convertible Hoover uprights came with a high speed for tools? Example: The Citation? IF they were just one speed motors, what was the wattage?

GE That GE is the vac I grew up with. My brother was terrified of it.IT was my parents first vac bought in 1948. We had it until the early 70's. IT went to the repair shop many times. It just kept falling apart. In the end nothing stayed put anymore. The hose was very difficult to attach. When...

Kirby bag I had the Classic 3 and I had it converted to the F and G and it did not work right after that. I now have a rebuilt Legend 2 and I love it. You can't beat a Kirby on carpets. I recently bought a Filter Queen Majestic, had a new hose made for it,10 feet, bought some new tools and it...

What became of Universal vacs? If I remember their small appliance line got bought out by GE in the 60's.

Elite I have had a vac like that forever. Nice, simple and powerful. It now resides at my x's house. Never bought the tool set, not fond of front connections.

portable I had a portable i bought used, and it very poor suction. I did not know there was all those filters. Maybe it was clogged and I did not know it. Shame, gave it to Goodwill where I got it. Really enjoying these reports. I found one on Mixers that was listed on the side. It was a review...

GE How long was that GE around? How good did the tools work? There seems to be a long time when GE was not making uprights. Am I correct?

Sunbeam mma That Sunbeam is a model mm 100. It came with 2 glass bowls and beaters, no dough hooks. The model that followed this one came with the hooks and a more power full motor. The hooks work with this model, but don't push it too hard as it was not meant to knead. It is a great mixer, I...

Sunbeam I love anything Sunbeam. Their motto used to be built with integrity,backed by service. Now it is here is a piece of crap that cannot be repaired.It hurts my heart. It is the brand I grew up with, sold and we had a repair service here in green bay. So sad...................

Hoover My friends got the 707 for a wedding gift 39 years ago in June.

Universal Any info on the Universal line? We had a Universal Coffematic when I was a kid, great perk. When did they stop making vacs? I know they sold their small appiainces to GE in the 60's.

Kirby I just bought a Kirby Heritage from a dealer. It was fully rebuilt, looks and runs like new and shines like a dime. I love it.I probably paid too much, but he did give me a warranty, a pack of bags, all the attachments, and book. He has been a dealer here in GB for 52 years. I am...

Kirby I bought the Kirby. It works and shines like new! I love the sound it makes when you adjust it to the right height. My carpets look better already! Nice tools, not like the junk they include these days.

Pansonic I had 2 of the 6220. One for home and for business back in the 80's. Much like a dial a matic, except the hose did not lock. The one bad thing about that vac, otherwise excellent and always top rated.

Hoover I bought a Hoover Platinum, brought it and it would not start. The change bag light came on. Took it back and was told at Sears they have problems with them. Otherwise, would have liked it. Tried it in the store and was impressed. Chan

Legend 2 I asked for opinions last week weather to go old or new and no one replied. So I followed my own instincts and bought a rebuilt Kirby legend 2 today from a Kirby dealer who has been here 52 years. I bought a Classic 3 from him back in the 70's. This one is much quieter, easier to...

Hi, I am tired of my Kenmore Progressive canister and I want a good upright again. I recently purchased a Royal Commercial Lightweight for work. It is a Hoover Tempo in reality. It works very good on floors, but the tools are awful I purchased a longer hose and that helped but it is still...

Hi, How do I know when to pay my dues? Do I get a notice?How much and where do I send? thanks, Chan55

Sears They were nice at Sears and gave me a cash refund.I went to a vac shop and bought a Royal commercial. It looks like a Hoover Windtunnel. It is really powerful and lightweight. Bought the extra long hose to avoid any tipping as It too had the short useless hose.Does anyone try those...
