    My Nice Surprise!

    John is the best! He's gotten so many of my Hoovers back into top shape AND taught me how to do it myself too. Not to mention all the beautiful cleaners he's gifted to me, as well.

    Best current Vacuum Cleaner money can buy

    Since you're in Europe, I would highly recommend looking at SEBO and Miele. Both are German manufacturers. Miele predominately offers canister/cylinder cleaners. SEBO offers both uprights and canisters/cylinders. Both are very quiet, extremely durable, excellent performers, and offer hospital...

    Yeah, I'll curious to see when it was made. I've only ever seen the X1 in grey.

    Mid 1990s SEBO Automatic X1

    It is not a Kenmore Professional. I've seen those before. It says very clearly on the base SEBO Automatic X1, Made in Germany.

    Mid 1990s SEBO Automatic X1

    Marcus, go for it, mate! You will absolutely love either of those cleaners. Sebo_Fan, thanks! I was hoping one of our resident SEBO experts would chime in here! Any idea what years mine would have been produced? I'd never seen an X1 in that color before.

    Mid 1990s SEBO Automatic X1

    Purchased this on eBay for an absolutely unbeatable price. Can't wait for it to arrive later this week. In the meantime, I'll share the photos from the listing. I'm really excited for this machine. I've been searching for a good deal on another SEBO/Windsor ever since I sold both of my...

    Holiday Mini meet plans

    A great time was indeed had by all. As John said above, I arrived early (about 12:30) to chat and catch up for a bit, as I had to leave at 3pm to get to work at the Cathedral downtown. After I was finished, I happily went back for more "fun" and to see the rest of the group, as only Bill Wood...

    Parade o' Vintage Panasonics

    I have that exact model and I love it. It's a little powerhouse and sucks up virtually anything in its path.

    Seeking a Hoover...probably!!

    Rob, speaking as someone who has extensive experience in a variety of commercial cleaning environments, (hotels, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, retail stores), if you're absolutely dead set on a machine with onboard tools, I strongly recommend looking at a Panasonic commercial upright. They...

    Mark, I used the hose from a D3 that had a pigtail at the hose handle and use it with the wands and PN from an Oreck DutchTech canister (a TOL Wessel Werk nozzle)

    I am dying for the new Rainbow!

    I absolutely love my Rainbow D4. I "upgraded" it to use a Wessel-Werk power nozzle, which made it go from a great vacuum to an excellent vacuum.

    Vacuum of the day, drag queen strikes again.

    For me, the tip off is the exceptionally long legs. I've seldom met a female with legs THAT good.
