    Cleaning carpets (but not vacuuming)

    This one... This is the model that my friends who own a vac shop recommend due to effectiveness, price point, and it's the old-school type model. They match the Hoover.com price and give the customer an extra year warranty, because they most likely won't see it for a while. I have one so old, I...

    It looks like everyone had an awesome time! As you guys know, I'm not a digger, but could've stayed back with Sonya and Shaylee and whipped up some vittles!

    Looking for a good Meatloaf recipe...

    Allrecipes.com Andy, go on Allrecipes.com and search for Eileen's meatloaf..it's the bomb. I have served it to many people, some who don't even care for meatloaf and they loved it. Read some of the reviews and tweak as you like. People think I'm a good cook, actually I just use the above as an...

    Revereware issue...

    I have a 3qt. saucepan that I use to pop corn in. I have burned the corn a couple of times and can't seem to get the black spots out even with SOS. Can anyone suggest a better way of cleaning it?

    The Electrolux Special Model 💕💕💕

    Back in the day.... As a part time job I sold a ton of Olympia Ones and Silverados. If I remember correctly the "specials" were 100.00 less, so 299.00/389.00 respectively. I never sold a "special", I was always able to upsell my customers with features and a longer warranty. I remember selling...

    Oreck Steam-It electric mop

    Hey Jason, good find. I sold a ton of these when I worked part time at an Oreck store. They were the best bang for the buck. I think they sold for 179.99, a lot for a steam mop, but I felt the quality was there.

    Hayden vacuum attachments

    I bought that set some time ago, and am very pleased with them. I have a converted Airway hose on the tool end to use any 1.25in. tools, and paired them with it. I use them quite a bit and am very pleased with them. You can't go wrong with that price!

    Interesting Hoover Concept Brushroll Replacement

    Because... they want people to go out and buy their plasti-crap at Walmart and other vendors. I know a couple of vac shops that do Hoover warranty work, and they break down before out of warranty or parts break off. Apparently TTI does not keep extra parts, because more often than not, they...

    Hoover Dehumidifier (70s?)

    John Long or Tom Anderson may know who made it for Hoover. Hoover had their name on lots of appliances, but only made a couple I think if I remember correctly.

    I love this little powerteam

    As many years as I worked part-time at the Oreck store, I only saw one come in for service, we ordered a new belt/brushroll for it. The woman loved that vacuum. She liked carrying it while she vacuumed, which was good, because they are real tippers! Phillip, I bought the straight suction model...

    Compact info

    I have that one as well David, I love it. I put in a Vibra-Groomer II brush roll in it and it does an exceptional job on my plush wall-to-wall. Mine's like new, previous owner either took really good care of it, or maybe preferred an upright. I just had to go look at mine, it has the cord hook...

    Hoover Spa Day

    Very nice Charlie! The model 67 is one that has eluded me all these years. Wonder why Hoover went back to the pink so soon?

    VCCC Convention

    Ditto! I echo everything Sean and everyone has said about the convention! I had a great time as I always do. I have been a member since '06 and have only missed some here and there for reasons not in my control. Everybody puts their hearts into it and works very hard to make it enjoyable. It...

    Shark's Oreck Counterpart?

    I have one of those Sharks, it was a gift from my buddy Phillip. I haven't turned it on in quite some time, but I remember thinking it wasn't a bad little vac at the time. It was not as loud as an Oreck, I do remember that, and if memory serves me..lol..that's a stretch, I think I used a Kenmore...
