    End of an Era for Cana-Vac

    Yeah. Doesn't the Cyclovac 7525 with the dual motors also have 7.2" motors even though it isn't an HD series? The Thoro-Vac GTP240 (a local rebrand) would be the equivalent to the 7525 and that one does have 7.2" motors also... although two of them. But that means that they do have a body that...

    End of an Era for Cana-Vac

    For those of you that do not already know, Cana-Vac was bought out by Trovac Industries. (The company that owns Cyclo-Vac) Unofrtunately, that meant changes to their product line. Their product line is completely refreshed. They still have their "Cana-Vac"/"Ethos" series with flow-thru motors...

    Rare Miele Model "A" for Sale

    For anyone that is interested, I saw this vintage Miele Model "A" tank vacuum from the 50s for sale on Etsy. It looks absolutely gorgeous. I had actually never seen a Miele model like this before coming across this listing. According to the listing, it works, but only includes the hose and...

    What vacuums do you hope will come out in 2024?

    I was hoping the BP60 would be available here too. But Sebo said that they are hoping it will be available here next year. (At least in Canada.) So that’s exciting! We do currently have a Sebo CE12 which is a corded version of the BP60, but I’m not sure if it’s available in the US. I would...

    Does anyone want a Hoover Concept Two?

    Yeah, it is. It’s too bad that shipping costs so much. Oh yes, of course, I totally understand. I would not have expected you to want it anymore with a cost like that. It most certainly isn’t worth anywhere near that much. But again, I appreciate your interest in it and your reaching out.

    Does anyone want a Hoover Concept Two?

    Huskyvacs, I do apologize that it has been several days. I did mean to go out to check on Tuesday when I went out, but the weather was bad and I didn’t want to go anywhere else that day. Then I will admit that I completely forgot about it until the weekend, as I was preoccupied with other...

    Does anyone want a Hoover Concept Two?

    Okay, I'll see tomorrow what the rate would be for Canada Post. Their online calculator said that the package dimensions were to large to ship, so I'll go to the post office tomorrow to see what it would cost while I'm out. I did look into UPS too, but their rates were too high. I'll contact...

    Does anyone want a Hoover Concept Two?

    huskyvacs, Yeah, shipping is ridiculously expensive. :( I can definitely get a quote for the shipping cost. And yeah, I just want to give it away for the shipping cost. I totally understand if it ends up being too expensive. Do you have a shipping company that you would recommend? I have...

    Does anyone want a Hoover Concept Two?

    Hello, I have a Hoover Concept Two that I am looking to part ways with. I had always loved these units. I absolutely love the brushroll because it cleans terrifically. In addition to that, I was fascinated by the power drive, loved the idea of the on-board Help-Mate hand vacuum (I seriously...

    What vacuum cleaner is this nozzle from?

    Hello, I am just curious if anyone knows what vacuum cleaner this nozzle is from? This rug nozzle has been in our garage for years and I have not been able to identify what vacuum it would originally have come from. It has really been bugging me lately, so I am hoping that there is someone on...

    Spencer Central Vacuums

    55 years is a pretty good lifetime for a chiller. Hopefully those Trane chillers will have another decade of use before being in need of replacement. Unfortunately, I think 30 years is about how long they’re designed to last.

    Spencer Central Vacuums

    Doug Oh wow!!! That is both a stunning building and system! That is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to see a picture of. I don’t suppose you know how many horsepower that system was or how many “sweepers” (users) it could support? Maybe 25 hp? That is not very far away from me at all…...

    Spencer Central Vacuums

    Tolivac Very neat! Also very neat to hear about the air conditioning. I love seeing big chillers and large HVAC systems also. It is too bad that nobody knew about the central vacuum.

    Spencer Central Vacuums

    Owen I have seen your videos on Spencer literature and all of those buildings that at one time were equipped with a Spencer central vacuum system. Those buildings were all so beautiful and grand. It is very sad that the majority of them fell into disuse. Whether that be from the machine...

    Spencer Central Vacuums

    My apologies Sorry, I do not know why I had read power nozzle, you had just said nozzle. Never mind that then. That is my mistake, I apologize. I still would love to see the pictures if you ever find the booklet though.

    Spencer Central Vacuums

    Rugsucker That is very cool!!! Oh really? They were using a power nozzle? I have never seen a large installation where they are using a power nozzle. It is usually only a straight suction nozzle or sometimes a turbo brush. It is nice knowing that the carpets there were cleaned well! If you...

    Are you talking about the one at the church?

    Spencer Central Vacuums

    Today, as they were vacuuming a bit of mess with the central vacuum at my mom's church, it got me wondering; what other large buildings have central vacuum systems that are still in use? More specifically, does anyone know of any Spencer vacuum systems still in use? (One where the inlets would...

    Torn on new power nozzle

    Rob, I actually have a few Sweep N' Groom nozzles, no PB11's though. That's what people keep telling me, that nothing will beat the CT14DX. If only the modern Centec models were better quality, that would have also been one of my choices. They know how to clean carpets. They do. I find them...
